I Found the Clearest Water in Florida and Caught Dinner!

[@raylandry93]

Yep, bait in the pocket. I'm sure Melanie is thrilled when she finds shrimp in her washing machine 😅

[@John_Conner222]

yep, dd this exact setup with my grandfather back in the 90s in Ft Walton Beach and Destin. Grab a bunch of shrimp from the bait shop and pull in Whiting, Pompano, Sand Trout, Sand Shark, and much more. Sometimes he would change his rig up with the heavy pyramid weight and bobber and wade out chest deep and cast out past the surf and pull in big blues. He always wore his deep green mechanic jump suit and a Styrofoam safari hat and his clip over glasses shades. Everytime we fished this MASSIVE stork would show up that he called George. The bird was literally 6 ft tall and scary looking. My Grandfather said he was over 80 years old and had been coming to visit everytime he fished even when he was a kid. George ALWAYS got the first and last fish and everytime we were blessed with a MASSIVE haul in. We would catch fish for the family to fry up and eat instead of going out to the restaurants. We would catch several dozen or more and always had coolers full of meat.

[@ianwright5460]

usually i say "cool story bro" sarcastically. But this is actually a cool story bro. hope George is still out there.

[@captainconstitution4238]

The intro to your video reminds me of the Bill Dance theme song. 🎵 The sun is just starting to rise up over the treetops. It's gonna be a beautiful day. that's plain to see. But I won't be around at all, so dont even bother to call. Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be. Gone fishin' 🎶 Love the vids man. Keep em coming.

[@gregmclane9834]

I love watching your videos! I don’t get to go surf fishing often so I love living it through your adventures. Thanks brother.🎣🐟🎣

[@SouthernFishNForage]

Your videos always make me miss florida! Virginia's fishing is incredible, but i cant wait to be back home. I miss those beaches!

[@dw56]

Came home from PCB last weekend with a nice mess of whiting. Them tacos Monday night were bussin'!

[@mikes8948]

"Not a fan." 😆 Never had roe or caviar of any kind, thanks for the honest assessment

[@waynoswaynos]

Cold smoked roe is one of the greatest delicacies. Not too salty or sweet or over cooked, spread on fresh bagette with butter is amazing.

[@nikkisdad6705]

@@waynoswaynosnope

[@chezharlow8756]

My real dad who im meeting for the first time at 31 years old is coming into town the end of this week I sure wished you were still a charter captain! Dream come true to fish with you! Love the videos man keep em coming

[@joshhancher5813]

Really appreciated this video. I look forward to seeing simple and fun ways that are doable for the average fishing dude…. Like me

[@scottc543]

Now that was a nice morning on the beach, and you can search a long, long time before you'll find a prettier beach than those around Pensacola. Thanks for the video, Brant. Loved it.

[@kelleyhowell9097]

Great video, we love whiting here in Corpus Christi tx, they make the best fish tacos ever. Now the roe my wife loves it deep fried. I need your recipe for tarter sauce please.

[@FoulOwl2112]

Southeast Alabama here. Fished the Chattahoochee for Hybrid and Stripes all day today. Fished Andrews Lock and Dam. They ain't Running yet. I got Skunked. Only saw three fish caught all day... So I'll sit here and watch you catch fish. 🐟

[@ryan198787]

Y’all’s beach up there looks soooo so nice. Down here in Saint Petersburg the beaches are messed up and most likely still contaminated because of the sewer system failure during Helene and Milton 🤷🏻‍♀️ I couldn’t even tell you a place to go saltwater fishing down here other then the skyway pier. That place is plagued with dolphins!

[@johntracy2861]

Thanks for the video Brant! was out at the Pickens pier today (10/25) and caught some Spanish and some Flounder! Didn't keep anything since 1, Flounder season is closed and 2, we were catching and not keeping! Can't wait to go get some Whiting on the next trip! John in Cantonment!

[@pjprice4379]

Without a doubt, my favorite fishing channel!!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@johnnyrondo709]

Fishing in or near Pensacola is so much more fun than PCB. From Navarre to Fort Morgan the surf fishing is so much better. And the bay fishing is much better as well. We always bring back home as much as we want to keep. The bait seems much more abundant and easier to catch. You can keep PCB but give me every bit west to Ft. Morgan. Our dream is to move to that area soon! Keep up the great videos Brant and Melodie. With love from TN

[@sheepledtotheslaughter4917]

Your face when you ate the roe😂😂 love the content and how you talk and explain things while fishing.

[@jenndavin]

Whiting are amazingly fun to catch. Good little fight. Taste great.

[@brendaeaves1079]

Whitening Such A Delicious Clean Fish😊Wonder Where Fred Was😮NC❤

[@markrowe2227]

I was wondering the same

[@caseychipley1671]

Great video brant and I see Ricky's back 😂😂😂 love your channel ❤❤❤

[@rebeccarhoads2771]

Bait in the pocket? Ha! All the time! Sand fleas are a real treat when they get to wiggling 🤣

[@wesleyhackney]

I’ve been fishing a lot in the same place you did today and catching lots of nice size whiting. Great time of year for them

[@one_new_skill]

I like Florida 👍 Let's go fishing!

[@madhatter2465]

Every time you start cooking your days catch I look in my freezer for some frozen fish which is nothing compared to your fresh fish! Man that looks great!

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Nice mess of Whiting looked really good on the Blackstone having to go to the beach because of the high water was a great option

[@Sunbum1947]

Jupiter Bait and Tackle sells live croaker if you want to catch snook. Todd at Juno Bait and Tackle is always informed on what's biting and what to use.

[@ronaldwhite9176]

My man, awesome video ,I also love Whiting. it's the best,

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@RalphOnofrio]

Love the white sand there....Our white sand is called SNOW.....I don't like it.Not yet, please!!

[@johntracy2861]

I went down to the beach today and there were piles of sand from the dozers that reminded me of the snow plow drifts from back home in South Dakota!

[@jessearms4323]

There are several bridges, beach side of jetty, nice cove area at high tide, the inlet if you can access an area. Of coarse with Mel comin you could go on a half day charter reef/bottom fishing, allot of fun and dinner is filleted for you, Black Dog is who and my son go out with, anyway nice beach morning catch.

[@thbrtmn]

Brant where was this? Wife and I were in town 10/18-27 Staying on Okaloosa Is. Water there was dirty green. Henderson was clearer. Best clear water we found was Watercoler, but we didnt see it this clear. Would be nice to know for our next trip.

[@NathanSage-l8j]

Got a buddy that keeps sand fleas in his pocket while we are fishing.... not sure if it's for easy access or something else... Love the videos!

[@YuGo122]

They probably tickle him.😆

[@Sps1756]

Try cornstarch its a liter crispy crust .

[@garyulmer259]

I like watching your catch and clean and cook videos good 👍 job that 👌 was a good video

[@AnglerUpTv]

Thank you

[@paulh7589]

As a subscriber and a fellow fisherman from Mobile, I have to take a good-natured jab at you.......... Maybe your outdoor kitchen would've been done sooner if you didn't spend so much time fishing!

[@johnhay4228]

Nice catch Brant 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@ericwisniewski5651]

Great show

[@stevehogan8829]

Thanks for using a good Title for your video, I get so tired of the "Unbelievable Titles" Enjoying your video as usual. Been catching and eating fish, since the early 60a and even 50s with my Grandma at Turtle creek in Dallas, TX. The small lake.pond, creek is still there and beautiful. Bain in pocket works well.

[@howarddenney5331]

All the time. Beats walking back to the bait bucket

[@davidanderson1916]

The night before go beach fishing after you peel em- salt em over night -this will tough em up and enhance their flavor-great video as usual

[@RalphOnofrio]

Love your videos...Getting cooler here in Connecticut...Wish I were there...Was there?

[@PyrosPelagics]

that view is dreamy in the fall, clear water and the sun further south instead of beaming down overhead..

[@halloves2fish]

Have you fished the Atlantic shoreline? The Water breaking on the sand is 20x's higher/ stronger than what I see in the Gulf. Will whiting, spots, pompanos be just beyond the breaking wave? Thanks

[@DarrinParton]

You REALLY need to try catching those whitting on a 3 ft crappie ultra light rod. If nothing else the CRAZY bend is exciting. I challenge you to try!!!

[@manuelfuertes5875]

Yes especially when in the water at the beach

[@fishingCOS]

Are you peeling the shell off of the shrimp?

[@motman6668]

My brother Mike use to put dead shrimp in his pocket too. Caught lots of whiting, pompano and reds from the surf

[@FoulOwl2112]

Have l kept bait in a pocket? Seriously Dude?! I've carried Worms in my Mouth 😂😂

[@danieljohnson8437]

Ahhh... Solitude.. Gonna fishing

[@guymonhall7596]

Ah yes, the infamous Last Cast rules make their appearance again...love it!

[@ncfinaddict7245]

What rod and reel were you using in this fishing?

[@scottweidner1613]

Bait in a pocket.....all the time. Iv even been known to have a few spare lures or jig heads under my hat if im walking away from my tackle bag.

[@Outcazt_Fishing]

I live in boynton beach i go up to Jupiter and hobe sound to fish, theres alot of great beaches to fish, last time i was there was a couple weeks ago after the hurricane went by, and the fish were biting alot, you might get lucky and run into a school of mullet

[@samotisfamily]

We're in Stuart wind has been ripping haven't been offshore in weeks

[@glassontherocks]

I always had a night crawler or two in my t-shirt pocket when the bass were really active.

[@hankzoerb317]

Whiting roe fried is some of the best roe you'll ever eat....try frying it next time....fish & roe are better than mullet.

[@emmanuelalviola4112]

I’m going to go fish the beach this weekend. I was at Bob Sikes Bridge yesterday but I only caught lizard fish and one yellowtail. I love Whiting so I’ll be there maybe Sunday morning.

[@ConfusedAlien-sd3bg]

My son is in Tampa I told him of your great videos. Fishing is more fun than golf!

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@user-creeker]

Oh yeah juniper lake is about 30 25 minutes from me I live in fort Walton but it's got wonderful fish in there bluegills some little smallmouth bass wonderful place❤

[@buffoonoutdoors]

Yep, always keep bait in the pocket. Just don't forget when you get home...

[@madhatter2465]

Good action!

[@jimquantic]

The Shrimp are good, but I hear Lobster is even better and also Alaskan King Crab--that is the best "bait"

[@MrZnut]

I have put bait in my pocket. Just not when I plan on wading in the water.

[@charlessarver8350]

I'd rather eat whiting than flounder. Flounder has more meat but absolutely no flavor to me when it's fried. I have to cook it on a grill to get some flavor but fried whiting is literally one of the best tasting saltwater fish to me.

[@leodeleon2391]

Now I know who supplies Wendys with their burger patties!! 😂

[@edredfish]

Did you go to rivers in Alabama, because Escambia and yellow river are very low right now

[@jesusgutierrez7068]

Reminds me of when you used to fish with beach bum.

[@northface484]

I was catching Mullet out of the surf on my Pomp Rigs using FISHGUM East of you last week...I was pretty surprised...Caught 6 -12 to 14 inches...

[@MrSoarman]

OMG, sooo glad you took your shoes off, it is mortal sin to be in that beach, beautiful water with shoes on.

[@Theg0ddessss]

Did he mention the beach name here in Florida? If so I missed it. Can someone tell me the location please.

[@williambenner701]

May I suggest nightcrawlers for big buck Whiting. Best Whiting bait I have used.❤ And yes I sometimes I will keep bait in my pockets.

[@growinghealthyinflorida1060]

Are you to put sand fleas and fish bites in my pocket. If I put shrimp in my pockets, I would put them in a Ziploc sandwich baggie. So I don’t hurting my pocket plus all my coolers. I always bring grocery bags to put my fish in it so I don’t have to clean my cooler to clean my cooler and start to smell and putting them in the grocery bags I could just pour the fish out and throw away the bag and my coolers perfectly clean, I hope you try that saves a lot of time.

[@Nathaniel_D33]

What size hook are you using for those whiting? Appreciate the tips and knowledge you put in your videos.

[@AnglerUpTv]

I use a small number 4 circle or eagle claw O84 #4 Jhook

[@gatorkt1]

[@jamesdempsey6624]

That looks great 20 dollars a plate Good

[@RobertDuda]

Looks like the old color of my deck, it was a Thopson stair, color redwood

[@thomasdaniel5308]

Whiting must be exceptional sushi/sashimi!

[@georgephillips3198]

Brant have you ever kept fish in your pocket Lol..

[@manuelfuertes5875]

That beach is empty where are you

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

I'll be in Pensacola in January and I can't wait to fish there

You just can't beat a Blackstone

[@mave311]

What beach is that?

[@AnglerUpTv]

Between Pensacola and Navarre

[@joshuafigueroa6]

Nice action 💯💪 Make sure you wash your pants really well 😅

[@coreymoberg7534]

It's kinda slow in Jupiter right now but if you head a little further south there is blue fish Spanish macks jacks and we are even getting some red fish which has never happened in my entire life but I guess these storms brought them here

[@Brenda-f5i]

🚨Great show love it ✝️☝️💯😎🫵in Jesus name ❤️🙏🏻🎣

[@diggy-d8w]

"Clearest Water" in Florida..... lmao, that's got to be in Clearwater, I mean it's all in a name, huh? Making fun but I'll take mine fried Sir. Mmmmgood

[@robinsherman643]

Where is that at

[@AnglerUpTv]

Between Pensacola and Navarre beach

[@brianlangford7278]

Lol I never get to see "surf" that calm

[@gordon985]

It may sound nerdy but does anyone make some sort of pocket protector for when you put bait in your pocket.

[@tommythompson3588]

Yeah that’s pretty nerdy😂

[@robertmarlar1060]

Put a baggie in your pocket for the bait.

[@scottturner2561]

Where's Fred at? LOL

[@howarddenney5331]

Best fish tacos

[@kevinsteele6206]
