Different bait and maybe a slightly longer leader? I like this idea of seeing what bait the fish are/are not interested in.

[@michaelmccormick1016]

I’m mostly a Midwest Bass fisherman. I did surf fish Hilton Head SC last year and had a blast. One bait shop recommended Finger Mullet as bait. We also used some Costco shrimp without a float. We moved the bait every couple minutes to keep the crabs off. That camera is neat and that footage is amazing!

[@user-dj4pq1sh6o]

Could be anything. I almost never use floats or beads and still catch a lot of fish. Maybe its the cut bait you're using. I always recommend to use sardines (pilchards), best bait in my opinion. Chop them up, mix them with marine salt, let them dry and solidify for a few hours and you're ready to go.

I eat jack crevalle I prefer using squid for bait usually fish can't resist it

[@07bently]

Same here agree with you on all points

[@davedearmey3888]

I’m thinking it’s the leader and float and not the Jack. It would be good to try Jack again with a plain hook and mono/fluoro leader.

I had recently came across an olive snail. It was wrapped around the hook and little piece of shrimp I had on my pompano rig. I thought it was a once in a life time thing. Never knew the name or that they took your bait like that. Thanks for the info and great video.

[@salteastsimon]

I went to Naples FL and caught my first olive snail haha. i know we have them in NC but ive never seen one on my bait. Redfish is one of my Favorite Fish to take home. I dont eat much fish but reds are amazing. weve been on a baby shark frenzy in NC. I cant wait to get on Pompano . Ive seen one Caught so far in NC posted

[@bobsacamano3099]

Maybe have a couple of different bait options. Lots of factors why they won’t eat

[@wesleyhackney]

On the surface this is a discouraging video but if you think more it taught you what not to use. First don’t use jack creville for bait. Second your tackle looked very visible. I also always wondered how much of a distraction the camera might be

[@FishGum]

Sometimes it’s a huge distraction

[@NoleYakin]

I've only ever used jacks for sharks

[@davelester1985]

The fish see the black shank of your hook. cover it, I use a piece of shrimp I saved from cooking my dinner to go on the shank. Also , cut your bait so that it has a skinny tail, which will wave in the current. Get rid of the white float, use a clear one.

[@a-a-ronname1319]

That is the fun. Especially when you have a camera and can see. I would say the first is the bait. Most fish didn't even attempt to check it out.

[@skixd88]

Good video. I’m thinking fresh dead shrimp or sand fleas would’ve been irresistible (depending on what you’re targeting)

[@davevalente]

Give it a try with mullet, pinfish or croaker

[@nickmgn5532]

What was the reason to use titanium leader here ?

[@jamessweeney6428]

I hate them olives. Lol. I reposition my bait constantly because of those things. I didn’t know about them either till I watched another video of one burying the floor bait. Since then, that’s all I can think about is some olive snail burying my bait. I think the bait is too close to the float and the float is pretty big. To take the bait they would almost have to take the float as well

[@corlissbonner904]

I used to do a lot of fishing 🎣 I know this is what your fish I think it's that lure that yellow and white floaties really and for some strange reason I feel like fish have evolved and they know when it's a trap I used to use floats I wasn't catching anything soon as I remove it and went in again about an hour later I caught fish

[@timallaire1]

With all that crap on your tackle no wonder you're not getting a bite especially if a hardtail won't bite they'll usually eat anything. No beads, light fluorocarbon leader and a small live fish like a pinfish, mullet or croaker will get a redfish or bluefish to bite. I'd use a slip rig with 2-3 feet of light fluorocarbon leader, circle hook and just enough weight to hold in that current. Sometimes it's worth the risk of getting cut off occasionally rather than using a leaded that fish can see.

[@chuckpeck8323]

Wow, Nearly every opinion possible here. You really need a side by side presentation of different rigs or baits to learn why no bite. Some times fish just aren’t feeding. Great footage though.

[@MichianaFisherman]

Ok, I'll bite and leave a comment! I would cut the bait so that it will flex like a swimming action. Not just a blob on a hook. And hide more of the hook with the bait. I don't believe the float will matter if the cut bait has more action.

[@tonyfield2360]

Pretty obvious. The float is scaring the fish off. Predatory fish are very visual, which is why we try to hide the rig near the bait.

[@leenickell]

What is with the God Blessing line? Are you authorize to tell a God what to do?

[@FishGum]

I pray, God, Yaweh, does what he wants
