How Effective Are Casting Spoons When Surf Fishing? Here Is My Answer....

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

Over here in Ireland, and in the UK, we call them a Dexter wedge. They're old and very reliable lures. They're great for seabass in heavy surf.

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

No doubt about it, it is a very reliable lure. At the moment, it's my go to Lure when nothing else works. Thank you for checking out my channel...it's very much appreciated!

[@mrschris9521]

It seemed to catch the bass in the Huntington Beach ocean waters this morning, better than live bait.

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Thank you for checking my channel out! I'm sold on this lure. When nothing else works, this is what I use. If I still don't get anything, it's because the fish are probably not around, at least where I'm fishing.

Thank you for the info I’m going to Pensacola beach in 12 days and we are trying surf fishing for the like third time but we are trying spoons so I really appreciate this vid

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

You are welcome, good luck!

[@Mickmoon_64]

Thank you keep up the good work

[@WVfisher]

i’ll be at pensacola beach tomorrow. how did the spoons do?? 😁

[@Mickmoon_64]

@@WVfisher well this was a while back nothing good happened ended up just catching bait fish

[@quangduyho]

hey, do you recommend using these for cloudy days or sunset (very low sunlight) at the surf? do you noticed if the catch results are the same as super bright sunny day?

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

I pretty much use them anytime of the day. However, I have more luck when I use them mid to late afternoon. I've tried them on "super bright" sunny days, but haven't had as much luck. I've used them on overcast days and have had success. Hope this helps!

I got a gold spoon I’ve never used it but I wanna catch a red drum or black striped bass and other species can u name a few jigs to buy at academy or bass pro shops like fake lures new to saltwater fish

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Honestly, I do more Bait fishing than lures. However, some of the lures I do use include, but not limited to, bucktail jigs, diamonds jigs, silver casting Spoons made by Hurricane, flutter Spoons and Kastmaster spoons. That's what I use to catch bluefish and Stripers with. I have never fished for red drum or black Striped Bass, so I really can't help you there. However, any aggressive fish will most likely go after any of the lures I mentioned above. You might also try your luck with soft plastic and plugs such as top water poppers. Good luck!

@@fishingbuddyph8786 can u eat bluefish I’ve heared it’s trash thanks for replying

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Yeah, you can. The best ones are the small size ones. People don't really care for them because they are very oily fish.

[@Vasher-The-Destroyer]

Have you ever tried one of those squid Plastic lures

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

No, I have not tried them yet. Maybe someday I will.

[@davidgeorge5095]

I purchased one of these but it's a 1oz, will this work ok to use for surf fishing?

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Yes. In fact that's the size I use most. Used it yesterday and caught a Striped Bass. I do also carry the 1/2oz and the 3/4oz. Most of the fishing I do is surf Fishing or from a jetty. Good Luck!

How many oz is the spoon?

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Hello, Zayd! I usually use a 3/4 oz, but I carry 1/2 oz all the way to 2oz.

[@zaydanderson4517]

@@fishingbuddyph8786 Ok cool thanks for the info! I'm new to surf fishing so I'm trying to figure out what weight spoon to get. My rod is rated for 2-6oz so would a 2oz lure be the right choice?

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

@Zayd Anderson I really wouldn't worry too much about the rating. It's really more like a suggestion. 2oz will definitely work, but you should also be okay using 1oz or even smaller depending on the line test you are using and what species you are fishing for.

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Since you are just starting out, don't be afraid to experiment. Use the one that feels comfortable for you to cast.

[@zaydanderson4517]

​@@fishingbuddyph8786 Ok sweet, thanks for the info! I'll be heading to San Diego next week so hopefully my 3/4oz and 2oz spoons catch something. Keep up the great vids man.
