FAST ACTION Surf Fishing Jekyll Island Georgia with A Fellow YouTuber and Subscriber

[@ytho95]

Man, we were just there four days ago. We caught a ton whiting and spots, about a 50lbs ray, 2 blacktips and one of them was about 5 feet the smaller one was about 3 feet. We had a seller day. Great video

[@fishincontrol]

That sounds like some great fishing! Thanks for the support.

[@ytho95]

@@fishincontrol yeah man, it was awesome

[@sonnysadventure6252]

Same I believe about a 70 lb stingray thing broke my rod tip was an awesome day

[@CharlieRobinson_21]

@@sonnysadventure6252the east coast rays are huge I caught a 40 Lb ray on a half shrimp

[@CharlieRobinson_21]

@@ytho95what bait I would love some big sharks

[@ytho95]

That mystery fish you caught was a silver perch. At least thats what we call them.

[@fishincontrol]

That actually makes sense. Thank you for the info. Looking at the fins, that totally makes sense

[@sonnysadventure6252]

I'm a local as well haven't been here for over a year but the fishing is much better than California great video got your self a new sub

[@fishincontrol]

Thank you for the support!

[@mullisoutdoors]

Absolutely Love It!! Brother I had an amazing time out fishing with you and Jekyll was as beautiful as always!! I can’t wait for all the cannonball jellyfish to clear out so we can get together and do it again. Next time I’ll set my alarm earlier so I can catch that sunrise too.. 🤣🤣.. Awesome Video Brian!!

[@fishincontrol]

Thank you, brother! I had a fantastic time as well! Next time we'll go north a bit and see what's in that deeper pocket. Can't wait to see yours!

[@souffrontr]

Hey wats upp guys always see ure videos man keep up the good videos man

[@souffrontr]

Question were do u guys get live finger mullet or even mullet or did u guys use frozen mullet

[@mullisoutdoors]

@@souffrontr usually I castnet mine around the island somewhere, either in the surf or around a creek mouth or spillway. I hope this helps. Brian, where do you normally get yours from?

[@souffrontr]

Same either around the island but is been hard coming across som lately

[@Pawoodsman]

Curious how the fishing is come July. Will be down for a week at the State park campground

[@fishincontrol]

If you can take the heat and the crowds, it's usually really good

[@Pawoodsman]

@@fishincontrol okay I know when I have been to Myrtle Beach in July fishing hasn't been great.. thanks for responding my friend

[@alvinramosadante]

Nice video thanks for sharing, New friend here from Philippines.

[@fishincontrol]

That's awesome! I've always wanted to travel to the Philippines to check out some fishing. How is it over there?

[@yutimfishing9756]

I miss fishing Jekyll Island, me and my wife used to go there every weekend when I was station at Fort Stewart

[@fishincontrol]

Where are you located now? You should come back down for a visit

[@yutimfishing9756]

@@fishincontrol Fort Riley, Kansas until October, I will be moving to Midway, GA around then

[@jeff2438]

im new to the area and am definitely interested in learning more about the fishing in the area

[@fishincontrol]

You have come to the right place. You'll learn just as much from watching my failures as you will from watching my successes. The best couple of tips I can give are 1) the cleaner the water the better the chances so if there is a bunch of debris you probably won't catch much, 2) fresh dead never frozen shrimp catches almost everything in saltwater and some in freshwater, so when all else fails that is the go-to bait.

[@fishincontrol]

Also, I offer 4 hour guided beach fishing packages. Booking one of those is a great way to learn how to do it yourself. You will learn a ton from just one session.

[@robertsenn5557]

Nice video man. I plan to go sometime this summer. Can you night fish on Jekyll Island? The park close or not?

[@The_Florida_Fishing_Channel]

Those are called sand perch and if u grill them while they taste like redfish

[@FUNvideo-no3uw]

Enjoyed your video I live in Jax FL

[@fishincontrol]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support

[@brentbattista2374]

Love your show.. I'm fishing jackyll island for the first time in August. Any tips you can give a hillbilly from ohio who fishes catfish? I have never surf fished nor have I fished the ocean.

[@fishincontrol]

Pompano rigs and whiting rigs in the surf with 3-4 oz pyramid sinkers and fresh dead shrimp peeled and cut into 1/2 in pieces. As little extra metal on your rig as possible

[@LipRippenfishen]

I’m headin to Jekyll rn so maybe I get some luck

[@NewVisionLCS]

Glad I stumbled across your channel. Savannah Georgia here also!

[@fishincontrol]

Always great to meet another local. I'm newish to the area, so don't know too many people yet.

[@NewVisionLCS]

@@fishincontrol That means we gonna have to do some fishing! I run out of Rodney J Hall boat ramp.

[@fishincontrol]

Heck, yes! I know right where that is! I do event lighting and audio for a living, so my schedule is all over, but as long as I'm not working, I'm always down!

[@NewVisionLCS]

@@fishincontrol No prob, shoot me an email with your info!

[@brianwillard1187]

I live in hinesville , me and a couple guys often fish st simons, Jekyll, and the Savannah area.

[@reefwade]

At low, that water is incredibly shallow VERY far out. I walked hundred yards+ (mushy clay btw) and only got to my knees. I saw tons of baitfish activity on outgoing tide, about 50 yards off.

[@fishincontrol]

At one end of the island it stays pretty shallow at low. Where were you able to walk out that far?

[@reefwade]

@@fishincontrol Near oceanview beach park. The sandbar, at full low, stuck hundreds of yards out too. photos.app.goo.gl/PYRYaGe8aS2rwNaF6

[@fishincontrol]

Wow! I've never seen it that low before.

[@kennytorkelson825]

I am new to surf fishing also, watched a few of you videos so far, great stuff. What lb test are you using? I am thinking about bringing my son down there. Should be a great time.

[@fishincontrol]

I tend to use 30 pound braid for my main line. 12 pound fluorocarbon leader for whiting, 17-20 pound for general purpose/artificial, and 20-30 pound for redfish and sharks

[@Jon_Ray]

Do have a link for your rod holders because I’m in need of some good ones

[@fishincontrol]

Mine are the cheap ones from academy sports. I'm on the market for some nice tall ones myself

[@Jon_Ray]

@@fishincontrol 😂

[@robs2614]

What type of hooks u use like that ponk hook

[@fishincontrol]

I use almost exclusively circle hooks. The painted ones came from rigs I bought from Salty's Pompano Rigs or Frisky Fins. Both make exceptional rigs. I also save and reuse parts from the leaders I buy when I hand tie new leaders.

[@noahjones8630]

What beach is this?

[@fishincontrol]

Oceanview beach park.

[@saylorlbnj0814]

Do you have a link for your cart?

[@fishincontrol]

It doesn't give me a very good link to share here but if you search for the Offshore Angler Deluxe Fishing Cart, you'll see mine for $199, and the new version with better wheels for $279. If you can afford it, the better wheels will be worth it. You'll be able to carry a little heavier load without sinking into the sand. Mine does okay, but I have to be careful about overloading it. Hope that helps.
