LESSON LEARNED - October Bridge Fishing NC

Dropping whole fresh shrimp was the ticket to success on this mid-October day. Black Drum and Red Drum pushed out the Black Sea Bass and Pinfish leading to a very successful morning run. Sea Urchins also produced a short lived but successful bite at the first part of the incoming tide. Lesson of the day - whole fresh dead shrimp can be a cheap and effective bait option for landing large, edible fish during the month of October. Get out there and have some fun this fall!
16' Sundance Skiff, 30HP Mercury
Daiwa Saltist LD30H - Penn Carnage II 6'2"
Shimano Torium 20HG - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 6'6" Heavy, Medium Fast
Shimano Stradic 4000 - Fenwick HMG 7', Medium Fast
Penn Fathom 25NLD2 - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 5'8" Heavy, Medium Fast
Double Hook Carolina Rig taught in "Early Spring Sheepshead" episode at 2:38.
Catch Sea Urchins on pilings and other structure below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES, the spines are non-venomous but can leave splinters and oyster cuts are nasty), I recommend using a crab net.

Joseph is a good fishing partner, always upbeat and positive! That was a bum of a Sheepie.

[@NCElectrician]

Man, yall killed it. We fished that bridge a week and a half ago; only got black sea bass, and I think I caught that same toad fish. Your videos always make me want to head straight the water! Nice work!

[@paulmoss7940]

Really enjoy your channel , my favorite fishin show. I'm in a tree mostly right now, huge mast crop this year. Good luck boys.

[@ronalddills4566]

You always make great informational videos . I’m in Asheboro today. With a cold . Looking forward to this summer fishing season. 😊 watching some of your older videos love that you keep fish and eat them . I believe in catch and release in hot grease 😅

[@offkilterfishing]

Thanks for all of the thoughtful comments, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!!

[@yankeeredneck6017]

So funny watching your bud catch all the fish. That’s what happens with me. I become the mate.

[@offkilterfishing]

Yeah it’s all good, as long as someone is catching them I’m happy. 😊

[@phillipsplanet]

I just watched the vid where this guy caught all those huge black drum. He's at it again, wow!

Good lesson

[@ronaldarchie7276]

I lived in Broad Creek for 24 years till 2018 I live in Havelock now worked on the Capt Stacy back in the 1990's have been disabled and just getting back into bank fishing if possible I do have a 12ft boat I will be trying to get ready for spring hope to see you out there.

[@JoelReel]

You should start a guide service, always catching the big ones. Tight lines and smooth seas.

[@offkilterfishing]

I work full time right now, one day I will be able to do it...

[@JoelReel]

@@offkilterfishing would definitely take a fishing trip with you.

[@ihophomestead]

Nice! I fish there and the point.

Ole Joe!

[@secretjourney4815]

Been feeding on your channel this afternoon. Work is bringing me down to your area next year. I am told by "many" people that I need a 20' or larger craft. I see you fishing the areas I want to concentrate on with im guessing a 16' or is it a 14' CS? Curious what your HP is also. Looks like your boat can move. Any thoughts on a 16' aluminum V hull boat? (thats what we grew up using around the boulder strewn shores of Long Island) Thanks for the great content. I cant wait to be a part of the fishery down there!

[@offkilterfishing]

I am running a 16' Sundance Skiff with a 30HP Mercury. Aluminum boats are great but not a sturdy because they don't weigh as much. You would need a bigger boat to go out the inlet. Good luck out there!

[@secretjourney4815]

@@offkilterfishing thanks again for the great content! Tight Lines!

[@BoringFisherman]

You should make a video show how you tie off and what you are looking for in a spot. Like structure on the sonar or whatever

[@offkilterfishing]

I have never used sonar, what I look for is substantial structure with a break in the current. I usually look for a place out of the wind so that I can comfortably fish. Soak good fresh bait and the fish will find you. Solunar table and tide play a big factor as well. I tie off with a bowline knot and I like to use a bungee on the rope to create a spring line. I have incorporated all of this info in my videos at some point. Hope this helps...

[@BoringFisherman]

@@offkilterfishing helps a lot. Thanks for the info. Nice fish too. I bet you eat pretty good most of the time.

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Super fresh shrimp is amazing bait but I emphasize it must be fresh.

[@garrymanalili2309]

👍 goodmorning what bait are you guys using sir?

[@offkilterfishing]

Fresh Dead Whole Shrimp - and - Live Sea Urchins

Sea urchins? Did I read that right?

I guess I did read that right.

[@abhinandanpedhavi8329]

Why did they let go that huge fish...??

[@ronalddills4566]

Where do you get your sea urchins ??? Are they better than mud crabs , sand fleas , fiddler crabs???

Watch YES PLEASE video, they are the best.

Enjoyed the Video. But let the big Sheep breeders go. Ever since You Tube ..the pressure is incredible now. TOTAL BUMMER Last etable fish in Florida left u can catch from Shore. Stocks are way down here already. Thousands of new anglers ruining it here.
