On The Rocks In Rock Port - Surf Fishing and Exploring NEW WATERS!

[@jamesmartin5639]

Rich, I have been following and learning from your content for years and years. Im a younger guy who lives and fishes right around there, always dreaming for you to make it to the north shore. As soon as I saw that granite and those trails I knew exactly where you were!! amazing content, and as always, live to fish, fish to live

[@petermavus4131]

Gotta put up a shirt.. “I survived the Fishaholic Road Trip” with map of stops.

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha 😂 that would be a good one.

[@angleseytightlines2918]

Rich, I believe that the fish that you said was a pollack was a coalfish. Pollack has a curved lateral line and coalfish a straight one. We catch lots of them from our beaches here on Anglesey North Wales. Great videos, I even followed your steps when I was in Nassau during the summer and had similar results as you. Thanks for the content, tightlines, Ceirion.

[@pigsandapples]

Don't push yourself too hard man. Sometimes a day off can make all the difference. You're doing a great job - every video is awesome.

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah haha I need a day off

[@atuuschaaw]

Awesome coastline...great content! Thanks Rich! Safe travels. ♥

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Really glad you enjoyed!!

[@MrPoseidonSays]

Rich nice to see you in familiar grounds. I like to say those were the days lol No Way! It continues this week in Montauk for me. Let’s go!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey Eric, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!! I hope you are catching!!

[@benjaminticknor2967]

I was just in Rockport all weekend diving and spearfishing at Loblolly cove and Pebble Beach - stripers and lobsters all over the place! Those pollock are delicious eating and yield a lot of meat for a small fish.

[@mateob.g.1849]

Great views, good fish. Another banger video

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!!! Glad your enjoyed!!

[@jasonwilk5539]

Mastering a hand full of spots, and catching 40 inch snook/bass on command is definitely awesome but nothing is more rewarding than hitting a spot for the first time, following everything you’ve learned after decades of experience, and catching a bunch of fish! 😎🎣

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad you enjoyed!! I’m not crazy about fishing at the canal and since it’s had a lot of exposure. I’d prefer not to film there. Although it is a really cool area. Here is a cool video I filmed the last time I was there kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSakJyPrbVljs0si=Zf-J-tA9THdMxG2H

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome! Glad to hear I inspired you to explore some new waters. Good luck out there!!

[@rjo8500]

You clearly demonstrated that a good fisherman can catch fish anywhere.

[@henrikbergman4055]

Awesome video as usual. A comment you made got me thinking: You can buy fancy reel knob upgrades, but no 'drag clicker' upgrades are available as far as I know.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hmmm yeah. That’s true. Not that I know of. Usually the drag clicker rusts and falls off after enough seasons in the salt

[@lee8287]

Love that structure

[@Randy_Samuel]

Nice one 👍

[@texoutlaw1732]

Hopefully just a little change in the air. When you want to make an extra long cast try this. Long casting is a little math and some easy physics. Eyes up at 45 degrees. If you look at the water when you cast your trajectory is around 25-30 degrees which is well short of the optimum angle. Next is lead with your hips like a good golf drive or a good baseball bat swing. This will cause you to change your feet placement. Just experiment to find the comfortable placement of your feet so by turning your hips and then starting to follow with your shoulders and hands. Imagine the extra energy you get by adding your hips to the cast instead of your cast starting with your shoulders. Easy Physics. I call it HHH. Head up at 45 degrees, hips turn bringing the shoulders and hands.

[@howechilds5060]

Nice to see some fishing in my neck of the woods! I am in Ipswich just across the bay from Rockport. Were you fishing Halibut Point? The weather has been horrible and rainy the last few days. May head out tonight or tomorrow and cast a few. Where did you end up eating? Essex has some good seafood spots... Woodman's "eat in the rough" or across the street Shea's for a more refined eating experience... or CK Pearl. Anyway... hope you enjoyed the area!

[@tomanderson6886]

Was up in rockport this morning a couple of blues and a couple of bass off the rocks

Nice glad you caught!!! Thanks for the report!!

[@clarenceelliott9009]

I truly miss fishing Montauk!

[@FishAholicTV]

Ahhh you’ll have to get back out there.

[@FISHGEEK007]

I have replaced my trebles on any of my casting plugs with single hooks for three reasons one I felt like I was losing fish because they were banging the plugs and hooks into rocks n wood etc and therefore coming off two no danger of hooking myself with a shaking fish and last its so much better for fish mortality. I may miss a couple hits but catch everything I get a hook in. That small Pollock looked like a juvenile Cobia

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome! I have to definitely start switching the hooks on my plus more to singles. Tight Lines Dave! Thanks for watching.

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

You should trailer your boat up to AC and take a trip with me. I've been running my 17ft skiff 40 to 50 plus miles offshore. And been slaying. From yellowfin to mako to mahi to wahoo. And I'm only using like 25 gallons of fuel 😂. People think I'm nuts but I think spending 2 grand in gas is nuts. This is recovery and living

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha that would be cool! I guess you bring an extra few tanks of fuel. I was thinking of bringing a bladder and making a run to the Bahamas from florida. I have a 75 gallon tank.

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

@@FishAholicTV my main is 12gal then I carry 3 5 gallon cans. On Labor Day I went out to some lumps that are about 4 to 15 miles past the 28 mile wreck and had a wahoo that dwarfed the one in my profile. I got it to the boat after it tore off 300 yards of line and after my 2nd wrap on the leader(mono) it bit through. I cried 😂. How far is the Bahamas? I did that run from Sailfish Marina back in the 90s on a boat I worked that wintered down there. I wasn't exactly sober at the time. I'm planning on trailering down there over Thanksgiving

[@anthonylloyd2324]

It there a reason you don't use a loop knot to tie on plugs ?

[@FishAholicTV]

A clip is just faster. Sometimes I use a loop knot. When I’m fishing in florida. I always use a loop knot. Depends on the area I’m fishing, how pressured the fish are, and water clarity.

[@richdunn9774]

Should’ve headed to plum island. You would like Surfland bait shop I guarantee.

Awesome! Next time I’ll have to check it out!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@mariakevelier8069]

Rich do my sharing a picture of the rack that you use for your fishing rods, by something other than the love for fishing that we have in common, I also went to Johnson and Wale University. I have been trying to come up with some type of rack to carry my fishing rods. I do love watching your fishing videos.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey there of course. It’s call the Rod Up Rod Rack! Perfect for SUVs of all sizes.

Ever cook your fish in the dishwasher? Wrap it up on the top rack, hold the soap, and hit "Sanitize".😊

Why…

[@FishingNOutdoorFun]

wow amazing catch mate

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!!

[@walkerlenon9811]

Would you recommend using clips for lure changes? Thinking about getting some for myself

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah In dirty water or at night. It doesn’t matter to use a clip or tie direct.

[@FishAholicTV]

If you can’t get a bite because you’re fishing clear water in the middle of the day then tie direct.

[@thomasshelly7712]

Any reason why you wear korkers boots with the korkers over cleat? Why not just use the spike sole?

Rock port Massachusetts or where I’m just asking 😅

[@konradneptun1559]

Love the content!! Quick question - any thoughts on how to prevent wind knots?? Recently have been having issues with that on a new reel / braid on a 9ft rod like what you were using in the video. Any tips greatly appreciated!!

[@professor4x4]

love the vids!!! silly question but considering there are times you catch bluefish & striped bass in the same waters...in your humble opinion which species of equal would you say puts up more of a battle???

[@FishAholicTV]

Bluefish probably pound for pound put up a harder fight. If they got as big as Striped Bass normally. We would need some serious tackle to catch them. Like imagine a 50lb bluefish. It would be like catching an Amberjack.

[@moniegardner6307]

Rich is there any big difference between dark matter fishaholic inshore vs regular dark matter inshore version . Beside fishaholic is 7'6. Is it a more heavy duty build??? Ik had different grips...

[@johnbrooker6134]

8 minutes in before your first cast? I thought this was a fishing channel

[@FishAholicTV]

Ahhh sorry. There are other channels that just show the fishing and catching. I show the reality of it from start to finish. This channel probably isn’t for you then. Tight lines and thanks for stopping by.

[@tlfu6836]

So, if you're concerned about hooking yourself and release mortality, why not remove one of the two trebles entirely. You'll do less harm to the fish that you're going to release, and you won't have that second treble swinging around to hook you.

[@FishAholicTV]

I’ve tried it and you lose a lot more fish. When filming I’m also trying to have a higher hook up ratio so I can catch the fish to show. But I like to crush the barbs to make it easier to unhook and release. I’ve been doing this technique since I was very young since I was like 5 probably. That’s what my dad taught me and it works.

Rockport is a pretty well known fishing spot. Lots of shoreline.

[@Peter-zg3em]

@@jessegraham1004 rockport's population doubled in the last 20 years or so. very little accessible shoreline. it's just a courteous thing to do to not blow up spots by name on a channel of this size. "north shore." "cape anne." it is what it is, i don't expect everyone to care. when people start showing up poaching and leaving trash or blasting lights you should hopefully care.

[@jessegraham1004]

I hope that doesn't happen, and I understand how you feel. I cherish the very few fishing spots I know about in my area, and try to care for them.@@Peter-zg3em
