THOSE ARE THE DAYS YOU WILL NEVER FORGET, ITS WHY WE FISH!

[@bradsaunders5367]

As a fly fisherman, those are the peanuts i DREAM about! 4-6" peanuts= gurglers, sippers, deceivers, and beast flies! Awesome video.

[@gfraser123]

thanks @bradsaunders5367! And thx for the tips, I think I’ll work on my fly game a lot more next year, especially for albies!

[@KennethPullins]

Thanks for the Great video.

[@gfraser123]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaeljasensky5438]

Great video! First one I've watched so I'll check out a few more of yours, good job 👏

[@gfraser123]

Thanks!

[@josephreichart7545]

Pencil Popping favorite

[@CrazyAlbertoKnee]

Man respect those hits with a 7’ rod!! I never go less than 9’ that’s sick

[@gfraser123]

ha thx! I used to carry around my big sticks but they wear me out now, so I’ve gone super-light

[@markyanh6630]

GREAT

[@NE_Pigeons]

Let’s go!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@dennypescador]

Great vid. Subscribed 🎣

[@gfraser123]

thanks @dennypescador!

[@sammyvh11]

The best sight in saltwater fishing!

[@gfraser123]

I think so too!

[@williamsocha]

Nice set up you're using. What length rod are you using?

[@PapaMav]

Pinching the barbs down, also helps to remove the hook.

[@gfraser123]

for sure

[@GeneralGP114]

Definitely good to pause , when fishing top water .

[@gfraser123]

definitely @generalGP114, sound advice indeed

[@TsunamiSam]

Love to see them moving south.. just waiting on them pods

[@gfraser123]

they’re on their way @tsunamisam, your vids are great!

[@TsunamiSam]

@ thank you ! I appreciate it a lot. Same to you.

[@TsunamiSam]

@ thank you very much it means a lot

[@totalnoobfishing1753]

Like your urgency in getting them in and unhooked and back...no Instagram bs photo shoot and no "look at me world"...just fishing. Catch 'em up

[@gfraser123]

I’m flattered by this comment @totalnoobfishing1753 and couldn’t agree with you more. and I’m still working on it, trying to get better all the time!

[@buffdoc46]

Nice Work

[@gfraser123]

Thanks

[@buffdoc46]

@gfraser123 our shore Bite in the Middle Chesapeake slowed down after last week. I'm dying watching videos from Joisey. Really nice fish

[@themetsochist]

is that a 4oz lure?

[@gfraser123]

hey @themetsochist I’m a lifelong Met fan myself, and a new subscriber! The Cotton Cordell pencil popper is 1 oz. nice and light and casts very well, love it.

[@themetsochist]

@gfraser123 thanks! LGM

[@amigo7053]

Enjoying your videos from Brooklyn. Curious, but how do you keep your grip on the tail? Your gloves?

[@gfraser123]

thanks @amigo7053, the gloves help a little bit yes. but they are slippery for sure, you really need to get a firm grip. if it's a heavier fish or one that needs resuscitation I'll need to lose my rod and lip it with one hand and support the belly in the other hand

[@amigo7053]

@@gfraser123 👍

[@williamsocha]

Was that a bailless reel? Nice light weight set up by the way! A memorable day for ya!

[@gfraser123]

hi @williamsocha yes a fun day for sure. I do use bailless reels, yes. used to be a VS guy now I love my little Vissers most.

[@williamsocha]

That seafoam green wouldn't be any chance be a Tsunami Carbon Shield II rod? Got two of 'em !!!

[@mrtonysimoes]

I didn’t get what you said about “that you don’t like to pick up the the with your hands but you forgot that you are polling him out of the water with a hook doing all that force . ✌️

[@gfraser123]

thx @mrtonysimoes I may have jumbled a couple thoughts into one, I have heard that hands in fish mouth may = bacteria transfer which might lead to higher mortality. that’s the main reason I try to remove hooks without mouthing the fish if possible. still working on it for sure tho

[@onetruechampion]

what's the water temp?

[@gfraser123]

@onetruechampion I think it was in the mid to high 50s, like 57 would be a decent guess

[@jfishing27]

Howdy, what is the # test for braid/leader? I'm really surprised you're bringing them in on such light tackle! Sick video

[@gfraser123]

yes @thatsnasty5788 I leave my big stuff at home these days and ever since I got into albies I've embraced the super-light tackle. My fluoro leader is 20lb test, my braid something like 14lb test. The super-light rod and tiny reel make for some fun fights for sure. but it holds up even against big strong blues.

[@isaacyang15]

What knot are you using ? Plz lmk

[@gfraser123]

@isaacyang15 in this vid I have a barrel swivel and a tactical anglers clip, in both places I just use your basic improved clinch knots. when I lose the barrel swivel and just tie braid to leader I use a crazy alberto.

[@Poolknot]

This happened to me In Staten Island last week. For 3 days

[@gfraser123]

yeah I wish i went out today had to work! it’s prime time for sure get back out there!

[@TriniTrav]

Which reel is that?

[@gfraser123]

the reel is a Visser 3.0

[@gloomegloom6279]

Fellow brooklyn fisherman here. One weekend I didn’t hit breezy 😂😂 What time of day was this? and do you have any tips for the specific time?

[@supremekarate1]

it was daytime, LOL!

[@gfraser123]

i don’t fish nights so there’s that. as far as daytime fishing goes then dawn and dusk for sure. this particular day was very grey and cloudy tho, perfect conditions all day. i try and fish the hours right after the tide turns, in either direction. some current is always a good thing. but they are fish, who the hell knows!

[@Nightrangersb]

Way to go on the single hooks many. Especially on the tail hook. Absolutely no reason to have tail trebles. Also crush barbs. Unless you really think you’re going to catch the fish of your life. Even then.

[@gfraser123]

thx I stay away from trebles they mess fish up
