This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "perdido key surf fishing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

[@maritzatamburrelli3530]

I grew up fishing with my dad. Never paid any mind to what was what, but always loved being out on the water, and the rush of reeling something in. I’ve recently relocated to Florida after 8 long years in Colorado and eager to really learn the sport. Your the first content of fishing that I’ve subscribed too. You make it look really easy and the instructions are perfect. I’m struggling with rigs...

[@nickynick9800]

My first time beach fishing tomorrow! Wish me luck!😄

[@dougyanez1710]

To rig frozen shrimp, try to use a circle hook or O'Shaughnessy hook. Put the hook in at the chin/neck area of the shrimp's head and run the hook through his entire body, coming out in the tough area near the spine in his tail. The shrimp can slide up the line past the eye of the hook a bit this way or can slide down and curl around the curve of the hook. This way the entire shrimp is hooked and stays on better during long casts. This also works with bucktail jigs for redfish, etc, but you only use half a shrimp body for those.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

I have been marine fishing Florida for at least 40 years, in Boats, very deep to very shallow, and out of boats, in quiet Bays and Roaring Surf in all kinds of different terrain. In all that time I have never once caught a Triple Tail.

[@GODSWORD5]

Triple tail from beach is crazy rare and this dude did it while dragging his reel through the water and using old ass frozen bait. Smh

Hey! Well done video and great ebook. Thanks for the lesson(s)!

[@QiRight]

Thanks for making this video for beginners like me. It's very helpful. Pro tip: if the sound gets a little too quiet, just turn on the CC, and you can read what he's saying just fine. I only needed to do this briefly. I'd like to know where all of the complainers' videos are, so we can watch those, too. 😋 Extra thanks for being respectful to the fish and not just throwing them back like I've seen in other videos. 😨☠️ We all need to keep the ecosystem healthy so we can all enjoy the sport.

Brand new to surf fishing, good video. Been trying a bit, but been skunked except a few small catfish. I had someone give us some 9ft older road and reel combos, I feel like I need to downsize my line, it's spooled w 25lb mono. Thinking about going down to 20lb. Living in central FL, we mainly fresh fish, so this is an experience and challenge to learn😊

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

Very helpful and excellent video. I have an specific question, specifically, I am after the pompano and really what could be the best way or all what you explain in the video is the same process? What you recommend me? Thank you very much

Dang a triple tail of the beach that’s awesome!

[@danielfranco9119]

Hey tailored tackle. Thanks for a great video with awesome info. I just wanted to also share some more info for beach rigging. You can make your own pompano rig base with 50lbs mono and then attach your hook likes and sinker lines to the base with 20lb mono using perfection loops. The 50lb is tied directly to your braid so if there’s a snag and you have to break off, the week point is on the 20lb and you can quickly and easily retie The hook or sinker and get back fishing. Luke Simonds with SaltStrong did a great video showing good beach fishing rig for rocks. Definitely look it up and do a shout out on a future video If you like the rig.

[@JohnDoe-zl6ph]

Thanks for the great video! Getting ready to go to Florida gulf coast for vacation and want to do some fishing.

[@karinalopez-mz9nc]

I'm new to this and my issue is...how to hold the species of fish to remove the hook.... as in most fresh water fish you can put your finger right in it's mouth...haha...i don't think I can do that with some of these sea fish..

What about the rod and reel size ? Medium power rod ? Medium fast action ? if you have a video of that let me know please...

[@tailoredtackle8545]

We go into depth on Rod/Reel in our free ebook tailoredtackle.com/how-to-surf-fish-ebook-guide-to-surf-fishing . It somewhat depends on where you are and what you are going for but my typical go too is a 10 Ft Medium Heavy with a 8000 reel a Penn Pursuit III in this size is an affordable and durable option www.amazon.com/Penn-Pursuit-III-Spinning-Combo/dp/B07GKBF35C we are currently designing one in the same price range but with a higher quality rod.

[@DarkSaruman]

I really appreciate the effort that went into the making of the video. However, this video is not a REAL beginner's video. - How do I cast the rod? - What to do when I catch a fish? - What are my easy options of storing a fish once I catch it? As a beginner I'm not really gonna understand all the different hooks and baits. Just recommend a general one and I'll learn through experience. I'd say a video where you show a process of catching a fish and showing all the steps from start to finish when the fish safely in a container would be the best beginner's video in my opinion.

[@tailoredtackle8545]

Totally understand where you are coming from. Trying to keep things under 30 min is tough for beginner videos. I am working on an entire absolute beginner fishing series which is the prelude to our beginner focus videos. This one isn't necessarily how to fish for beginners but how to surf fish assuming that you know the basics of fishing and want to learn how to specifically fish in the surf. Make sure to subscribe so you know when we launch the absolute beginner fishing videos.

Chiming in…. New to the surf for two months and this was a good intro and some good carry away. Actually putting this info to use would be part 2 showing casting and other questions mentioned above.

Did anyone else feel physical pain when we threw down the reel at 15:27 ?

[@tailoredtackle8545]

lol I was filming by myself and had lost multiple fish off camera while I was juggling so much. I decided to say screw it to my reels towards the end so I could get the catches on film and have less physical pain about not getting fish on camera.

Hello, I was wondering if I need to peel the shrimp shell? Thank you very much! Good video!

[@tailoredtackle8545]

No and you probably shouldn't be using hard shell shrimp. Your bait store should have the typical soft shell shrimp. The soft shell helps hold the bait to your hook

[@farzana6676]

@@tailoredtackle8545 In South Africa we use cotton to keep our bait fastened securely onto our hooks. Then you can cast and reel atleast 5 times before you need to replace your bait. Cotton makes a huge difference in keeping the bait from disintegrating.

[@tailoredtackle8545]

@@farzana6676 Thats a really great tip we are going to try it!

[@Alexx_1989]

What table are you using for cutting the bait?

[@tailoredtackle8545]

It was actually a little beach table for food/drinks that came with the old beach cart my brother bought ages ago. I would recommend just cutting them on top of your cooler if you bring one. The other thing I do all the time is cut the in the wet sand where the knife goes through into the sand. The thinking here is that you limit the amount of gear you have to lug and while its really bad on the knife, in reality the salt and bait and fileting on the beach absolutely ruins any knife by the end of the season. Therefore I just buy and inexpensive beach knife for 7.99 each season. I have learned my lesson on nice knives I have done everything I can to maintain it and its just an infinite battle that you are unlikely to win.

[@nondairyrelic7279]

Hey I have this kit and I was wondering, besides the extra tools and the actual fishing rod, does this kit have everything that I need?

[@tailoredtackle8545]

Everything but frozen bait. You have all of the rigs and terminal tackle that we actually fished with in this video. I recommend getting started using the Fish Finder rig with the 2 Oz pyramid weight and the smaller circle hook when you just getting started. This is a good setup for shrimp, squid, or a small chunk of cut bait. The kit comes with a book that explains all of this if it is sounding a little like gibberish. You do have lures in the kit but thats for when you start to really advance on the beach. I would recommend starting with frozen cutbait like in the video.

Cant believe you threw away half your squid, in fact cutting up your squid instead of fishing with it whole and yeah rod in the sand. Your drag should be set prior to catching a fish and you should never adjust your drag during a fight unless the fish has taken a ton of line and you need to lessen off due to line creating drag. Oh yeah you should hook your slabs a the gut cavity end as this is what the fish hone in on.
