[@bbq101rescuesmokers]

GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@JonBecker81]

Brilliant, I’ll be doing this asap!

[@ravekinglrg]

Wow great idea I just learned something today 👌👍🏼

[@randydykes1972]

I saw that setup on Lake Fork years ago. When I started really getting into crappie fishing, I found hula hoop at Dollar general. Mine is built the same, but on the caribiner end, I put a float like people use on wind socks. That way, I can toss it around the column, and if I can't reach it, I push it around now that it floats. easy.

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

Hula hoop is cheap, it’s better with irrigation piping.That black irrigation pipe will hold its shape and never Crease.

[@randydykes1972]

I run the same setup.. Only I put a float with a hole through it on one end of the hula hoop. Before I added the float, the hula hoop would sink and if the wind was blowing, there would be too much tension on the underwater hoop. This way it stays at the surface for easy retrieval.

Looks like a lot of fun brother. Enjoyed the tip and video. We like fishing Ray Hubbard under Hwy 66 or I30. Hwy 66 has a free boat ramp. Great place to put in. See ya out there. 👍

Genius!!!!

[@Itsmevictoire]

AWESOME!🌻

[@catchingwithkeytv1707]

I've made a similar bridge holder using a softball. Never thought of making a video showing how I made it. Good video, thanks for the Inspiration.

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

You definitely should make a video!!!

[@parfume4]

Good idea, thanks for sharing!

[@kevinh3356]

Really cool DIY , thanks for sharing

[@texastacoutdoors]

Great video and fishing barge hack... er IDEA!!!... Nice job Terry!!!!

[@joes.1945]

Another great video. Nicely done.

[@Mittenpaw]

I just would be aware of tide changes. I tied my johnboat to a bridge one time and almost got stuck lol water got so low i had to untie against weight of the boat

[@Paulcatchesemall]

That’s a great idea. Good video too

[@chucksmith5002]

Liked your channel just subbed . Going to make me one of a Bridge Grabber thanks for the idea .

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

Thank you Chuck!! Appreciate it!! Use poly pipe for sprinkler systems from Home Depot. Wont crease.

[@ryanrigdon6252]

Very genius of you!! I'm gonna try that next time. Great Video!!

[@thomasgarcia6913]

Thanks for that info. I'm gonna try that out 👊👍

[@jhawk738]

good video and good ideal

[@Seanagabriel]

Ryan and JB always playing with Ditch Pickles

[@jamesmason3261]

To know where to purchase stranger waterbug lure. Thanks

[@sonnykapsengchanh7614]

I been using this contraption for a while...it's harder on a kayak.

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

Sonny Kapsengchanh, think it would be easier if you used the float one. I’ll make a video about that type too.

[@codysale4583]

@@BarFlyFishingTexas Definitely need to make one of these for my yak the wind this time of year makes it difficult without dropping anchor. HMU you have my number.

[@KidKrappie]

Enjoyed it! Got to make one of those for my one man on windy days

[@dsgbqc]

What if the bridge is square?

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

As long as I can reach the diameter it’ll rest on all four corners. We have a few railroad bridges that are square

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

It’s also just an idea, and you can manipulate the idea anyway you want or have a completely different idea… I just see a lot of guys fishing the bridge with no solution

[@rmoutdoors9042]

I just made a piling grabber and am going to try it out tomorrow! Thanks for the idea, I had been thinking of what to do to tie my yak to a piling. Thanks!

[@RealCamSmith]

That’s a good idea! I use to use a retractable laundry clothes line and replaced it with 550 paracord then added a carabiner on the end with ~6” pool noodle too. I use to wrap myself on the big bridge columns like at Hickory Creek near I-35 by letting the pool noodle end float and I would paddle around the other side of the bridge to grab the carabiner/pool noodle end. Your idea looks a lot easier though.

[@daviddura1172]

Egg Zachary what I do

[@Gonzo1968]

Nice bridge fishing hack! Will be making one of these for sure!👍

[@snakemadness1439]

Awesome. My son just bought his first sunbelt boat and I'm trying to get him a nice fish finder and urs looks pretty clear and simple. What brand is that if you dont mind me asking ?

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

Garmin Echomaps 93sv with Panoptix Livescope

[@larryjones5295]

Really nice method for strapped into a column I've been looking for such a method thanks for the idea. Grand Prairie resident.

[@fishingwithspies]

Hey Barfly! Quick question by any chance do you know how much a canoe like yours cost? I looking to see if I can get one.

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

My Kayak is a Native Watercraft Slayer Max 12.5. It’s $3000 out the door. Bout another $500 in rigging.

[@fishingwithspies]

@@BarFlyFishingTexas Yeah, may be a while before I get one LOL.

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

You can find a used one and sometimes for about half of that. You can’t get a Slayer max but you can get the slayer Propel 13 which is what I had for 10 years. Perfect time I actually like it better than my new one.

[@fishingwithspies]

BarFly Fishing Texas Thanks man, Ill look in to some.

[@fishingwithspies]

@@BarFlyFishingTexas Nice video by the way.

[@daviddura1172]

great gadget.... with my kayak I had been using a long line with a clip, run thru a short piece of pool noodle...throw it out past the piling ...slack line it out and then pedal around the piling to the "float" and clip on to a form a loop this method looks easier..... with a kayak you have to be careful not to ANCHOR down too tight to a piling, one big power boat jerk with a tidal wave wake and you're in big trouble... always be able to disconnect quick just in case DITCH PICKLE......heard guys as far away as Houston use the term.....

[@jakealant]

We say it way up here in Minnesota too!

[@kennethjackson7574]

If there’s a bolt or something like that sticking out try a pair of Vice-grips. Exchange the adjustment screw for an eyebolt, then clamp the vice-grips on whatever is available on the pile and attach a rope to the eyebolt. The vice-grips don’t take much room and may be useful in other situations even if they can’t be used on a specific pile.

[@jeffdurocher8669]

are you live scoping? Your screen looks really lit up, I've never used one

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

If you’re good at fishing already livescope is awesome, The big misconception about livescope is that you automatically find fish, that is not true you have to know where to look first.

[@fishingwithfredo2639]

During all those years of using that Contraption I've never thought of making a video LOL great job b Buddy👍👍👍 those were some Crappie dawg Hogs or is it crappie hawg dawgs🤔🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@MarkWilliams-yx7bx]

Do the same but with pvc pipe. Less flex and use as a hook if the wind is up. Just heat the pvc up and i have a big tree i bent it around.
