How to catch tons of whiting surf fishing Florida Plus Free Online Surf Fishing Course

[@Floridamarty]

Always love your videos! Thanks.

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

[@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc]

Made me wish I was surf fishing on a Florida beach! That pompano may have been grazing on sand fleas...all those other fish, the whiting and croakers, will munch sand fleas too. Thanks for sharing--you're living the dream!

[@lagginwagon8267]

Dude, surf fishing the beaches of Florida is one of the best experiences a person can have, besides the mangrove fishing, but surf is just a little more relaxing. Thanks for sharing, it helps that fishing itch! I'm looking forward to finally moving out to FL in the next month or two from landlocked AZ and can't wait! Tight lines brotha!!!

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Thanks. I'm glad that you liked it.

[@thesteveus]

Hello from Australia, nice fish, we catch whiting in the surf too but they are a different species, cheers.

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Steve. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@OnDayFiveFishing]

Nice fishing. Gotta love fishing in Florida! Lived there a few years back! I'm catching sheepshead here in NC right now.

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Thanks. I can't imagine not fishing.

I like beach fishing when I go on vacation. I subscribed.

[@jplee3]

I really need to surf fish other places! These whiting look verrry similar to California Corbina, which are super fun catching on light or ultralight line here in the SoCal surf. I wonder if the same/similar tactic could work on the beaches out your way: size 4-6 mosquito hooks, sand fleas (aka sand crabs out here), 18-24" leader of 4# flouro and a 1/4-1/2oz bullet or egg sinker/bead/swivel above that. They usually will slide up the beach when the sand crabs are shallow in the sand, waiting for the shore break to dislodge an easy meal then feed on them and swim back out into the trough to wait for the next wave to push them back up, so if you pitch your bait into the zone where the wash is (even though it may seem counterintuitive) oftentimes you'll induce a strike. What I like about fishing this way is that it's super lightweight, mobile and forces you to look for different areas where there's structure - plus, it's always good for me get some exercise in and walk the beach. It's a lot of fun fishing for them and a lot of guys end up sight fishing them too. I'm guessing the whiting out there have the same/similar feeding habits?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Jeremy. It sounds like they might be the same fish.

[@DanKirchner5150]

I used to surf fish for blues with a gator spinner w a treble hook /leader back when i was a kid 11-14 yrs old and never really knew how dangerous wading way out there could be while doing this .I caught a lot of blues /amberjack some pompano's and one time a bonita tuna .But do recall seeing sharks chasing schools of fish in the waves as the sun hit them right ,also a turtle popped his head up about a foot or two away from where i was chest deep casting my lure beyond the obvious run of blues . I'd imagine people take more precautions now ? This was back in 77-78 and a lot of things were going on unchecked i guess ?

[@jaimesantiago9352]

I'm glad that you are having all that fun.Catch the pompano ! thank you!

[@DanKirchner5150]

yw -and i did catch a few pompanos back then 40 years agos -lol

[@lagginwagon8267]

About 10 years ago when I'd make my yearly Florida trips to visit an old friend, we'd fish nonstop and would always be wading out into chest deep water. So it still takes place. But after a few years we realized (in the areas we were fishing anyway) it was actually more productive to hit the first few troughs which we could normally cast to from thigh/waist deep water.

[@MrTaxandspend]

What is so dangerous about wading out there? Are you talking about sharks?

[@kellyspangler7324]

going to Florida in feb can you recommend a surf guide don’t care about size just lots of action and species

[@fishyourassoffcom]

If you are on the Treasure Coast and want to specifically fish the surf call Rich at pompanorich.com. If you want to wade fish Google Jayson Arman Land Based Fishing Charters to catch snook, trout and redfish in the Indian River.

[@syyed9036]

Hey what beach is that in Florida?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hutchinson Island, Fort Pierce

[@TheMasterCaster]

Hahah the croaker slam. You caught an atlantic croaker AND a striped croaker on the same day.

[@dariusrh.8507]

I havent had much luck at Round Island park. Maybe I should go further south to Avalon! although the other day i did catch a hardhead catfish. good video!!

[@tomcaamano417]

Gonna be fishing from the shore off Hutchinson island. I have a 15ft rod, any suggestions on bait, what to expect?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Tom. You can't go wrong in the surf with shrimp and sand fleas. Good luck.

[@beno4848]

Do you know any good fishing spots in st George fl

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Ben. I am not familiar with St. George. Tight Lines.

[@michaelbarnett2527]

Government cut!

[@skyestar11]

Are you using a swivel on your rig or are you trying straight to your main line? Thanks

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Yes. The swivel helps a lot with minimizing the line twist. See more fishing tips here www.fishyourassoff.com/how-to.html

[@tomtommyl805]

@ 50 secs. that's a pretty big whiting. I've just started fishing in FL. in the St. Augustine area. Tell us your secrets ! Do you peel your shrimp? Do you cut them in half and put the head on one hook and the tail on the other? Do most fish prefer the head over tail?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Man. No secrets. Just go out and fish. Sometimes you luck out and the whole school is right at your feet. Good luck.

[@tarapotamus]

whitings always bite shrimp but will be less apt to bite sand fleas (sometimes they do but not as much as shrimp) and the pompano love sand fleas, you can try small fiddler crabs too

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Thanks Tara.

[@lg8080]

Hello, I am in Orlando this week for a conference. Could you recommend some fishing locations, either fresh water or salt water? Thanks!

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hello LG. Orlando is surrounded by great bass lakes within 30 minutes of you. That would be your closest and easiest opportunity to get some fishing in. If you head an hour east to the ocean, the cocoa beach area has great surf fishing and intracoastal fishing opportunities. Good luck.

[@lg8080]

fishyourassoff.com thanks!

[@drewhon]

What type of fishing line would you suggest for this type of fishing?Thanks

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey. I think that I was using 8 lb mono for this video and my rigs were made up of 20 lb mono.

Try using shrimp fishbites you may have a bit better luck for pompano Great video!

[@seso2010ful]

what is those coloured things on the line?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Those are floats to keep the bait off of the bottom.

The fish Ive always called spots are different than your spot. The ones I catch look similar to croakers but they dont have the sharp gill plate.

Where is this please

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Fort Pierce

[@jacobgabriel1]

I don't get it. I just moved to Ponte Vedra and planning to learn how to fish. You are catching and releasing...why? you are releasing because they are too small? or cannot keep it in PV? need a license to fish off the beach?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hello. I ended up keeping one that was gut hooked but I usually catch and release.

[@leonelmolinajr2]

What rod you using?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

I think that was a 7 foot med/heavy ugly stick.

nice soccer kick to get that bait on the shark pole.

It's called Ground Mullet where I fish the Gulf o' Mexico. Just like whiting, but with great pattern and colors.

Why do you use all of those colorful things? Do those actually help you to catch pompano? I just started my channel. Making videos is a blast. We caught 65 whiting the other day. What part of Fl. are you in?

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Yes, I think they do help attract the fish to your bait and keep the bait off of the bottom a few inches. I'm in St. Lucie County. Good luck with your channel.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I watch another guy surf fishing for pompano. He said the colorful beads mimic shells, one of the foods they eat. Thanks for responding.

Did Keith see the video lol?

[@skswig1]

I love whiting but I catch more pomps than I do them.

[@fishyourassoffcom]

Hey Shawn. You are a lucky man. If I cast to a school of pompano with one whiting with them, then I will end up catching the whiting.

[@skswig1]

@@fishyourassoffcom do you think that using a smaller bait/hook i could get more of them. I even set a close in rod with the regular pomp stuff on it hoping to get more of them and less hard heads.

I added about 150 yards of line to me reel and when I surf fish it always runs out of line in my casts

[@stevealex2098]

Use squid if you just like to catch fish i use it all the time in st aug and it's really hard for it to come off the hook i also like to use live shrimp . Fishing the incoming tide seems to be better dont fish at the vilano beach pier i have been out there several times and never saw anyone catch anything go to mickler's beach in ponte vedra and when you get on the beach walk down about 400 yards to the right i have had a lot of luck out there

[@mikesims7886]

I'm certainly not going to subscribe to your channel ... or even watch it again. If you're not going to keep a fish, is it gonna kill you to walk your dainty little tootsies a few feet into the water to release the fish beyond the wave backwash ... instead of just throwing them down on the practically dry sand to get beat up by the next incoming wave!! And no, I'm not some vegetarian nutcase, I'm an avid saltwater and freshwater fisherman who believes that if you're not going to keep what you catch, at least release it humanely so it has the best chance to survive.
