How to Catch Pin Fish | Fishing Florida

[@SteveCameron-y6o]

Great video. Never thought of only using two hooks, but it makes so much sense. I have been using that pink shrimp, flavored fish bites, which also works incredibly well. I’ve caught trout up to 19 inches on that stuff while trying to catch pinfish. But it is very hard to work with on the tiny hooks. Will give the gulp a try. Thanks for posting.

I just moved to Bradenton and I was just finding out the ways of saltwater fishing.. I love to fish I've been fishing all my life. I've never caught a snook before. Can't wait until I get that big one.. By the way I'm a new subscriber to your channel awesome video 👍🎣🐟

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

Welcome to the salt Joseph! Thank you for watching and stop by #skywaybait for some additional knowledge and gear for that big snook!

[@jcpourciaux521]

Capt. Eric I tried this technique and it yielded some good pinfish. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

Thanks for your feedback JC. We put out new videos every Wednesday and have more tips/tricks to come. Happy New Year!

[@goferizer]

Good tip. Thanks. What do you use to keep the Gulp bits wet? Wonder if a little menhaden oil would work?

[@iammaybach6218]

Met captain Eric yesterday on treasure Island! He was bait fishing with this method and it works. Liked and subscribed!

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

IamMaybach62 , thank you so much for following up! It was great meeting you. Let’s hook up🎣

[@katherinepoindexter4380]

thanks for the tip. i love fishing for pinfish they are so fun to catch..watching your reel with that pinfish on i was like..yeup..that's how they fight..spot fight like that too.

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

You’re most welcome! Thank you for watching Katherine. Do you ever fee the difference between a pinfish and a grunt? Captain Erik gets most excited when he feels the grunt fight!

[@katherinepoindexter4380]

@@CaptainErikLIVE I have not caught a grunt yet, except for a baby Pigfish but the way a pinfish fight is very different. I now am learning to tell the difference between a Pinfish and say a Spot..they fight somewhat similarly but the Pinfish fights rapid fire until you get it in the boat or dock, while the Spot starts out rapid fire and then there is a lull, then a pull, then a lull then a rapid fire pull like a Pinfish..and then a deep pull when you get it to the surface. but they do fight similarly.

Great tip, will use this in my fishing videos. 👍

SteveO Koren, glad you found the information useful. Tag #fishlikeus when you post so we can share. 👍😎

[@lawrencematthews4438]

What type of bait is that you cut up in pieces so it stay on your hook?

[@steventate1425]

The kids have a longish tournament tomorrow. I’ll advise the results. Great content either way.

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

Thank you for watching...Well, How did it go?

[@steventate1425]

@@CaptainErikLIVE it went fantastic. The kids took first and second in the pin fish tournament. 22.6 oz and 21.5 oz. Thanks for the advice.

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

Holy moly! That’s fantastic!

Dat Truong, glad you found them useful. Visit our 'How-to' playlist for more fishing techniques.

[@Orlosthedruid]

FWIW... you can buy GULP fluid in a plastic bottle. Use a MASON jar and soak the "nubbins" to get the flavor back into them. PINFISH in Pensacola Fl are aquatic starving lions. Pinfish...LOVE Gulps for some reason. GLHF !!!

Have u eaten these pin fish before? I think there absolutely delicious, I like them, taste almost like bluegill which is my favorite to eat out of all fish on this planet, crappie being 2nd favorite, if you have tried them, did u like them?

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

We’ve only eaten spot pinfish when they get really big! Others have also said they are delicious. We’ll make a video out of it some time! Thank you for watching !
