I love running into Larry on the beach, makes my day to pull up to my spot and see his truck sitting there. He has taught me A LOT about surf fishing. Eternally grateful.

Took the wife and kids to Playlinda this last weekend. Caught one Pompano and a couple whiting. People next to me caught way more than me. Knowledge is power and profit. Going to try it different next week. Larry knowledge to me, I will teach my kids and someday they will teach their kids. Thank you Larry!

Hey brother, great video! Always like watching the ones with Larry! So much knowledge from one dude. Would love to meet him someday. Where is his store located? Haven’t done any surf fishing on the east coast. My family has been spoiled by the amazing beaches and water in treasure island. I do plan on taking a trip to the east coast soon tho. Keep up the great videos!!! 😁

Unfortunately he sold his store! But he is still fishing a couple of times a week

Im in the mid-west, we fish a lot in rivers and lakes. This is how you learn the most, on people like him. You need to be friendly to locals and learn how they do it.

Larry is such a character, so much fishing wisdom but very down to earth, met him down near Flagler beach.

Wow.. 50 sand fleas for $6? I'm going to cry next time I go into the New Smyrna bait shop! I think it was $4 a dozen last I checked. Maybe time to invest in a sand flea rake.

Thanks for sharing. What size rod and reel would you recommend for Pompano this time of year (March).

I use 10-11ft rods. What type of reels do you use?

Do you prefer spinning reels or bait casters?

For you first combo I would get a penn battle. Tough Rugid reels. Not sure how much you want to spend but strikezone has done nice rods that the reel can be paired with.

Wow! Talk about PRO TIPS! What I would do to spend a day on the water with this guy. Those were some nice Pomp. “You become the jerk” 🤣

Anything that will help me suck less is awesome! Don't know if I'd rather fish with the bluecrab or eat it... But the sandfleas would be great bait, didn't know how to hook them either. But since it's his favorite bait too, better use it!
