Fishing with Balloons - Fishing Tip #2

In this fishing tip video, Josh explains the techniques of balloon fishing. Balloons are very effective as: a float, when using either live or dead bait, when you need to drift a bait out (either in wind or a current), visual aid, or when fishing bottom with structure. You want to use bright colored balloons that are biodegradable. The size of the balloon should be in proportion to the size of your bait. Balloon Fisher King balloon clips simplify the technique of attaching a balloon to your line.
Saltwater species to target with balloons include: sharks, billfish, tuna, anything in the mackerel family, tarpon, snook, cobia, permit, redfish, striped bass and much more.
Freshwater species to target with balloons include: muskie, pike, striper, hybrid, largemouth bass, catfish, crappie and much more

Appreciate that. You gave me some new ideas on making my rig a lot easier to set up with those clips, and I didn't know they made biodegradeable balloons. I've always been a bit of a jerk when it came to balloons being loose from the line making everyone go out of their way to retrieve it just so it wasn't littering the water.

[@Kamal-xq3cx]

That is a brief and very clear description. Thanks

[@rockyshore-korea]

It is interesting that you can adjust the depth. I am more familiar with float fishing though baloon seems to have better capacity in catching wind and current. Thanks for video

[@higherpower321todd8]

If the wind is blowing toward offshore, it is a great tactic from a pier.

[@dieguezsnook3209]

Verry good brohter 💪🎣🇬🇹😀

[@danegriffin5686]

Any tips for balloon fishing from a kayak? How should your drag be set when balloon fishing?

[@redwave2468]

Hi black tip h, i fish all the time with your buddy Austin in Virginia for the big cobia, great video

[@3Daver]

From the rocks, would you cast with the balloon on or give it a short toss and let the current take it?

[@elroiglobaltheologychannel3373]

Josh You are very genius man. Very good information

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

Good info Josh

[@porkchop2218]

That’s cool, I’m going to try it

[@makenziepickering8280]

thanks for the helpful tips

[@kathingbalap]

Nice idea brooo

[@JosePlasen]

great tips dude

[@724riff]

Let's say I am in 60 feet And want that balloon half or near the surface or just 10 feet down and you get a good fish in then start reeling in does the balloon come up to the rod tip at the same point you attach it or will it slide around ... If it doesn't slide then at some point in your battle when the balloon gets to the rod you have to hurry and undo it and resume the fight so I was wondering does that give fish the chance to throw a bait ?

[@tycencerisano4822]

So helpfual thank you

[@anthonychiappetta9225]

you have the best channel but every time i see you using your hands i think of ricky bobby asking what he should do with his hands

[@dcgo44r]

Good tips!! Now I have to add that balloons are the budget version of kites... You can use it as a bobber but definitely they are not the best! When we had larger bait we use Styrofoam so is one time use! I don't want a bright colored and riped balloon attached to your line with a fish hooked... So the solution... Well a small team of fisherman (back in Cuba early 2000) came with cheap and ingenious idea... That will release the balloons with the hit of a fish...that revolutionize fishing when it was the hard for the shore line fisherman! Just like the kite did in other countries... So now you could put a live bait hundred yards where just boats were able before! Of course with the help of wind like the kite!

[@Martin-sm4sp]

innovative

[@BasicFishingNZ]

great tip. :)

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

Great tips. Thanks

[@SupremeFishingSF]

I've never used a ballon to fish, but I have one question. Does a ballon effect the presentation of your live bait? If the ballon has no effect I'll definitely use this for night fishing with live bait.

[@heartlandranchtv4943]

Supreme Fishing Most fish are very attracted to colorful objects. Also, they are very attracted to luminescent objects at night.

[@SupremeFishingSF]

Ok thanks!!

[@TravisHeinze]

whistle every time he says "balloon" and you might have a good song going

[@TMGBananas]

Thanks

[@samariamarc8476]

Hi Josh. I live and fish in the indian ocean (Madagascar). Wish to use your technique. Does this work for night fishing? If yes how deep must the bite be (distance between bite and ballon/surface ? Sorry for my bad writting (I am French). Look forward reading from you and thank you in advance !

[@justinmm01]

Alexander smith, how far down are u planning to go?

[@jabbafo]

couldn't you put a fine mesh netting of some sort around the balloon, attaching it under the knot at the bottom, and use it to keep all the balloon pieces in case it pops?

[@royalzombie68]

can u use something else that willa ct like a balloon but nnot littter and is better than a balloon

[@marwannatto]

I will try it at ...... Many thx

[@housseinefishing-solo2438]

Yes man cood job thankfully pro

[@alexs-cd2re]

I am looking to go down to Florida for fishing. Where is a good place and who runs a reputable charter.

[@jaydenbrulloths8786]

dude your freaking awesome any tips on link for red fish off of a pier ?

[@pickleme101]

cant find clip on any of the stores listed

[@adventureoutdoor4138]

Thanks for the advice bro, i subs😉😉😉

[@FloridaFishers]

anyone know how to prevent balloon from popping?? Gets annoying tying a balloon every time i catch a shark. i need a way that the balloon will stay in place but slide up line when i get a bite. comment below if you got an idea

[@BlacktipH]

Try making the balloon smaller before you tie it or use a heavier balloon type. This clip will keep your balloon stationary.

[@Thenewthreat86]

Josh where can I get that hat bruhh

[@davidperezzz4055]

If the wind is facing you will it still take the balloon out?

[@BlacktipH]

music outdoors Not unless you have a tide or current to move the balloon.

[@soufiansamnaoui547]

جميل جدا ومفيد شكرا

[@marianelatapia5589]

is there any store you can buy it in

[@lethalaids79]

Hey josh would a penn jig master with 65ib braid on a ugly stick 30-60ib rod be a good a set up for sharks or what would you recommend 200.00 and below please.??

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

LethalAids It will work fine for blacktips

[@lethalaids79]

Do you now a better set up for under 200 or under just to get started that will set me in a good direction.

[@ruthenium5765]

I think balloon fishing is illegal in most states but ok

[@mohameddawod1556]

how to catch a live bait ??

[@victorernestorodriguez]

can´t find biodegradable balloons!

[@thebestisyettobe5506]

Is this for boat fishing only?

[@matthewkukulski8774]

TheBestIsYetToBe no its basically using a gaint light weight bobber to float your bait anywhere, ive used foam floater rigs to float my bait from piers before

[@dannylopresti5183]

+blacktiph can you make a video for a leader that would work with for shark fishing, or would I just attach the balloon to heavy mono on the leader itself

[@BlacktipH]

I would recommend attaching the balloon with heavy mono on the rig. That's what I do.

[@MInecraftLoverloft]

kra-pi not crappy 😂

[@Dman9fp]

What I was thinking too lol (kraw-pee)

[@southgeorgiaangler385]

One problem. I can't tie a ballon

[@hunterxbox11]

South Georgia Angler u will once u get older, happen to me

[@diesellozano7874]

Zip tie it

[@kamelitotoe592]

+South Georgia Angler Tell your papa or momma to tie it for you, and remember scissors are dangerous so ask grown ups for help.

[@runnningonempty]

lolol

[@justinh1433]

Ballon’s burst. And your dealing with a clip on your line. Stuff that

[@stubbie596]

I was the 2000th like

[@shanemanning4982]

Those clips don’t work on heavy flouro

[@trevortaber4541]

hey Josh need some tips on fishing

[@BlacktipH]

What kind of tips are you looking for?

[@Spyros_Mazarakis]

is there danger to catch a turtle by eating the fish?

[@BankWalkerTV]

Every time I cast it out my leader line gets tangled very bad with my main line how can I stop it from doing that. Also how can I cast it far? for some reason when I cast it out it don't get far enough. any tips on these problems?

[@BlacktipH]

Are you attaching the balloon clip to your mainline / leader directly?

[@BankWalkerTV]

BlacktipH mainline

[@minibar7165]

FYI, when out at sea, or even from the beach, an empty water bottle, instead of the balloon, will also do the trick. A rubber band will do just fine, clip is not needed.

[@heydaddy1057]

Where can i order for the balloon clip?

[@BlacktipH]

Fredster4 www.balloonfisherking.com/shop/

[@runnningonempty]

OR BUY A BOBBER

[@jman3336]

***** Great Video Josh! Keep it up!

[@MrRondeezzee]

biodegradable doesn't mean next week. how about years to digest. I love fishing but cmon now guys there's so many other bobble type you can use

[@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop]

Money says those balloon clips aren't biodegradable plastic 🤬🤬🤬😑😑. How many of those pop off into the ocean.. Awesome fishing technique except for that (assuming using biodegradable balloons)

[@hugomoore-l1d]

I thought same, maybe a fish eat ballons

[@bahgatvib1673]

هههه

[@shroudedunity]

I liked your videos better when you where not sponsored by whoever pays you to create these videos :( but I'm sure it's a great opportunity for you.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

shroudedunity now thats funny......

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

shroudedunity He's still got great content, but he's doing good for his channel and making connections, then he will be able to dish out even more badass content.

[@shroudedunity]

yes i know he still has great content. and i know that it is great for him. but when these upload, i get excited until i watch it. i know why he is doing it. and im not talking trash. but the other videos are just better.

[@heartlandranchtv4943]

shroudedunity So, do you just expect him to spend countless hours producing top-level content for free? He's running a business here. At least the products he endorses are ones that he actually uses and can vouch for. The balloon clip makes perfect sense because you don't want to be tying knots in your fishing line, as that will severely weaken it, often causing it to break when put under stress.

[@sokhengchork6450]

i really wanna fish. but i dun have enough money. could you donate me a rod , please? i'm your fan.

[@anxiousbeachbums]

Yawn..............

[@henriqueramos6305]

I am a fisheries consultant but would never advice to use a baloon as a fishing gear. there are no biodegradable baloons and turtles and mammals will eat it and die with its stomach full of plastic. like your tips but not this one. Please, be responsible towards the Ocean, respect marine life and the environment from which you live on. The ones who live from the Ocean are the ones who most disrespect it!

[@BlacktipH]

Latex balloons are biodegradable. What's a better alternative to balloons (excluding kites)?

[@Rizlogen]

+BlacktipH All balloons are biodegradeable, but the timeframe that they degrade is long. We are talking 6 months. Way to kill marine life.

[@smitchell132]

Henrique Ramos thank goodness for your voice of reason. Pity this video has so much misinformation about some balloons being biodegradable. Ignorance is no excuse. The author should get his facts straight from marine biologists. .

[@swampwizardmf]

Lmao thats not how you pronounce crappie

[@colewashburn3162]

Yes it is.

[@swampwizardmf]

+Cole Washburn no it's not you idiot. It's pronounced (Crop-ee) not crappy.
