Unbelievable. I been fishing this pier for years and cant catch anything besides searobin. This guy just comes in and catches all the fluke!

[@luisgonzalezjr.7465]

Same here. 😂

[@BobAquatic]

@@lisov4575 work the bottom, there’s a ton of fish out there. Appreciate you watching lisov4575

[@lisov4575]

I think my issue is that I cannot cant cast such light jigs far enough. My cheapo rod and reel will cast 10 meters away at best. I need a very heavy sinker to match your casting distance..

[@awdobsession717]

What a fluke!

[@quarmelo1023]

Facts lol 😂

[@Hitman023]

Never remember spot fish ( croakers) being so abundant in Jamaica bay! But I remember spending hours to catch 1 bluefish lol . Great video brotha, definitely a fan!

[@BobAquatic]

@@Hitman023 thank you hitman023, the croakers are a good time too. Having a lot of fun catching them

[@luisgonzalezjr.7465]

@Hitman023 Years ago, I don't remember catching any croaker in these waters. Where did they come from? Along with the "porgies" , we would infrequently catch a fish we would call a " lafayette." I remember catching an abundant amount of small "whiting" and "ling" in the old days at the Coney Island pier.

[@Fishpunch]

That was a banded rudder fish you caught. Great catch

[@BobAquatic]

@@Fishpunch thank you Fishpunch, I was siked

[@fishingwithnico]

That jack was a nice catch. Great video

[@BobAquatic]

@@fishingwithnico thank you fishing with Nico, lot of great fishing opportunities right now

[@johnbonamigo5696]

Making me want to adventure around NYC fishing so bad

[@BobAquatic]

@@johnbonamigo5696 hit it up, huge island full of opportunities

[@galaxywolf-lf1bz]

pls do more coney island videos

[@BobAquatic]

@@galaxywolf-lf1bz for sure I love fishing out there, cheers galaxywolf-lf1bz

[@lisov4575]

I second that. And if you can please fish at Brighton Beach from shore. Id like to see if you.can catch anything in the surf this time of year on this beach.

[@mikemariano5547]

I believe that jack was actually a banded rudderfish; cool catch nonetheless

[@BobAquatic]

@@mikemariano5547 appreciate you Mike, you are right about the banded rudderfish

[@akivaa5863]

I also caught a ton of fluke in a short amount of time today down on the jersey shore.

[@BobAquatic]

@@akivaa5863 congrats on those catches akivaa5863

[@ConeyIsland1952]

Outstanding more more 🐟🎣

[@BobAquatic]

@@ConeyIsland1952 thank you Coney!

[@fishn365]

"Got em!!!" Indeed... Another banger..thanks for sharing! Ever think about using a pier net? They're cumbersome but help when fishing from bridges and piers

[@BobAquatic]

I got one, its just a pain to bring around on my bicycle. I wanna get one of the folding ones just not sure if its worth it. I use a rubber glove or if its a beast I'll walk it to shore

[@fishn365]

@BobAquatic Yeah, when we have one of the trucks and are bridge fishing, we bring it now, after losing some chunky ones. One guy we know uses a milk crate with a 1lb weight..But I may get one of the folding ones too..

[@user-xu8ki2kn5x]

Nice video...had me a little nervous. That's a nice outfit you're using and you're holding it with one hand, hanging it over the railing! Tight lines, God bless.

[@Matthew_80]

He won’t drop that Gloomis trust me

[@BobAquatic]

@@user-xu8ki2kn5x thank you for watching!

[@marsmilligan7146]

I’ve got a normal non inshore gcx rated to 5/8s of an ounce, would that be too light even for light fluking ?

[@BobAquatic]

That’s a great rod for fluke fishing light tackle, you can go a little over the rated lure weight on the Loomis rods

[@nickk.5661]

Great video! Have you ever gotten snags here? I’ve used a 3 ounce bank sinker and it happened multiple times on this pier(might be from all the rocks at the bottom). But I may try your jig setup

[@BobAquatic]

NYC is one huge snag zone. I would say coney is one of the least snaggy places of all of them. Keep your line tight, don't let it scope out and drag bottom in the current. Mussels will often close on a line that brushes up against it

[@nickk.5661]

@@BobAquatic Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I didn’t know NYC is a snag zone, but I’ve mostly fished at the pier

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

Y'all gotta go out on the boat with someone if u wana catch the big boys....and go home like a champion 😊

[@BobAquatic]

@@Final_Fantasy_7 sounds like fun, final fantasy 7 is one of the best games ever created

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

@@BobAquatic red dead redemption is also one of the best games ever made and please be sure to play it if u have not.otherwise thanks for sharing your love for games

[@BobAquatic]

@@Final_Fantasy_7 all my friends say the world is too big on Red but I kinda love that style personally. Tears of kingdom is my next game, just need to carve out the time

[@FishGuts73]

Nice action Go Get’em

@@FishGuts73 thank you Fish Guts!

[@DemetriGalban]

Fish Crossbay bridge

[@BobAquatic]

@@DemetriGalban for sure, I’ll head over there , thank you for watching

[@arsfishing]

that looks like a mini jack crevalle.

[@BobAquatic]

@@arsfishing I think it’s a banded rudderfish , thank you for watching

[@arsfishing]

@@BobAquatic yep, just for if you find yourself in florida, dont mix up the jack crevalle with the amberjack. Amberjack is a deeep water offshore fish generally. I sounded like an idiot calling them amberjacks for days a few years ago.

[@fishingwithbori]

Nice video and action brother.

[@BobAquatic]

@@fishingwithbori thank you Bori! Cheers buddy

[@Sanbat_maidam]

Câu cá thật là tuyệt vời 🎉❤

[@Exploremorefishing]

Banded rudderfish 🤙🏼

[@BobAquatic]

@@Exploremorefishing thank you!

[@AZ-NY]

Hey Bob! Great video. Love the new catch. I wonder what's the regulations for keeping the rudder fish or jack, whichever it is.

[@BobAquatic]

@@AZ-NY I think it’s a rudder. I’m not too sure, I haven’t caught many but I’m sure there’s more around. Would be curious to try it. Cheers AZ!

[@AZ-NY]

@@BobAquatic if you do catch more, make a cook video to see what it compares to.

[@BobAquatic]

@@AZ-NY I totally will, I gotta look up the Regs for next time. Wasn’t ready for that one

[@howardbarnet4272]

That's an almaco jack.

[@BobAquatic]

@@howardbarnet4272 banded rudderfish , cheers b!

[@rickwu6005]

have you seen any cobia bob?

[@BobAquatic]

@@rickwu6005 not from shore, I’m sure they’re out there though

[@ouissandy2806]

You should walk from seagate to the pier throw gulp.

[@BobAquatic]

@@ouissandy2806 it’s fun over there, I’ll take a ride and try it out one day this month. Cheers ouissandy2806

Bob, my name is Victor, I'm from Brazil and I'm going to NY in October. I'm starting out as a fishing content creator here in Brazil. Would you be willing to meet me there so we can fish and make a video?
