Pier/Bridge/Surf Seminar - Florida Sport Fishing TV - Tackle Tips, Rigging Techniques, Best Baits

[@TheRuffusMD]

Mike really knows his business... he is a born teacher . Every sentence has meaning , no chit chat . These lectures are first class.. One summer while I was staying with my grand parents in Daytona I went to the community college for a night class series on surf fishing . It on Wednesday nights for 6 weeks . It was excellent and taught by the fishing guides in the area at that time . I think I paid $45 in the 1970's for that class , and I still remember many of the great tips I learned there . But Mike surpasses these classes by a mile . and they are free . I am getting ready to move back to Florida , and I am watching these seminars to the point of memory . This is a life time of experience Mike is teaching . And Mike is not a fishing snob , he treats fishing off the pier or beach just as rigorously as he would treat fishing off a $ 7 million sports fisherman boat . Thanxs Mike , people will be watching these a 100 years from now . The basics of fishing haven't changed in the last 50 years . maybe the tackle has been refined in materials , but that really hasn't changed much either . A mirrolure looks just the same as when I was a kid etc .

[@hiddenboz3428]

26:29 this information is so true, I have been down here in Lake worth FL for two weeks fishing the Pier. Last week the wind was blowing and the water was ruff and the whole pier was catching fish. This week it was clam and nothing was going in. When you see the surfers out and the Waves are big that's the time to hit the Pier. This information is on point. Thanks.

[@eso1666]

It was exciting to watch the whole video!

You kept talking about north of broward. What about south near Miami

[@jonnywaselectric]

Hi Capt Mike, I really enjoy your seminars, I can't wait for the weekend to wet a line. We have a prized fish here in Australia called a Jewfish or Mulloway it is the same as the Cob in South Africa. Some people have been chasing them for a decade and still not caught one, it took me 2 years of going at least once a week to get my first which went 55lbs and the second one a few months later 24lbs. The unique thing about this species is they are targeted at the turn of the tide on the pier, they will take most live baits and big lures worked slowly. Tight lines, John

[@FloridaSportFishing]

I looked it up, really awesome fish! Looks like a Pacific Yellowtail/Seatrout hybrid. Two years to catch one? Why, not a lot around or very picky? - Capt Mike

[@jonnywaselectric]

Florida Sport Fishing they are around, they are also called the "silver ghost" as they are elusive, I was always chasing them with bait and getting rays or sharks, a guy who catches a couple dozen per year told me to use the big swim shad plastics and that is what worked for me.

[@andrewyi6418]

Capt. Mike, I enjoy your semina. You're very knowledgeable in fishing which would derived from your precious experiences. I liked the phrase you have mentioned while talking about fishing rods. You said the rod you're holding is a part of your body.(extention) That's an quite of accomplishment which you're able to say it. I learn a lot from you. Thanks. By the way, what did you mean by those Asian ladies behind you? I happened to be one of them.

I'm thinking about buying a fishing cart, you didn't mention the brand name fishing cart you partially showed in the video?

[@notsure7874]

Juno is my beach, and I've never been on that pier. I've fished under it, but not on it. I usually cast out next to it, because nobodys on that first third anyway. Easier to land, and release fish from the beach too. The only thing that would be easier is cast netting bait.

[@shakysworld10]

Nice job Mike that was some awesome info!!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@yerbyray]

The piers in North Carolina typically only allow two to three rods. I guess it is different if Florida

[@SWFL_FISHING_239]

This year we caught and 85 lb black drum and a 32 inch redfish

[@AlchemiUnlimited]

How about adding a list of baits and plugs?

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Where I live, the only fish that can be caught are blue fish, whiting and something called mulloway which is kind of like a snook (gets to 70+kg and is very good on the table. Which leaves me fishing for whiting one one bait and using that as live bait on the other rod for mulloway which is pretty boring since I have gone many days without a sniff since they are somewhat rare.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

I've caught around 4 in a year but unfortunately all small and one that was big reefed me because I'm usually catching 1 lb fish this one might have been 100 lb

[@lewislowry4519]

Do you find that fishing mono in the surf allows you to keep a weight stuck, whereas the wave action on braid causes your bait to tumble?

[@paullambert1485]

Hey captain MIKE great going to clear water in October have any advice want to target snook on were to go?

Useless in the garage. - Capt Mike

[@brandonleboon1102]

I fish in the north east mainly in New Jersey and I usually fish buck tails in all different ways whether it is bouncing them for fluke or 3 waying them for striped bass. I was wondering what the difference between the flair hawk and buck tails.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Flair Hawk has unique shaped head and hair is cut at different lengths, unlike a ducktail where it is generally uniform. Flair Hawk is designed to be fished slow and steady directly off bottom, you can crawl the thing, too. Usually bright chartreuse with burgundy or something dark. Mimics baitfish and crabs. Swim it slowly with the current by a bridge, a striper will kill it! - Capt Mike

[@Tunderpimp]

Brandon LeBoon I've used a bucktail jig in the same manner that the captain describes. This was about 20 years ago. I did it around Gandy, the Howard Franklin, Pier 60. It's a shame they took down Gandy Bridge. It was a great place to fish around if you knew how to fish it. Oh I caught Snook just like the Flair Hawk.

[@ryanthomas1313]

Nothing like using a live or cut up bt for a hammer. I def enjoy throwing jack heads or even hard heads out for sharks in the surf. Sadly, people get very offended by it.. but our live stock are treated way worse

Hello Capt Mike, just starting out fishing again ( fished as teenager in Great Lakes ) now with wife but want to start inshore. This channel seems to be more tailored to out/off shore. Can you recommend a similar channel for inshore.

Hey Capt Mike, Do you have a list of the rod and reel sizes? Similar to the lists you provided in the video where you went through different rod/reels for inshore/nearshore/offshore. Love the videos! Thanks!

What do you mean a list? What exactly are you looking for? - Capt Mike

[@chrisinscore6036]

In this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYLQaq1rrJmgZ68 , you had listed the actual reel size/rod length/rod action/line weight for each rod and its application. I guess that's what I had in my head.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Why do the snapper come in when it's rough, I thought deep water was calm in a storm

[@FloridaSportFishing]

When the ocean is rough they tend to move inshore into shallower water to feed because the rough surf etc uncovers a wide variety of forage.

The reason those guys aren't talking about fishing with live shark for bait, is because FWC will have your ass in a sling. It's not just unethical, it's illegal.

[@notsure7874]

@Trigger Warning It's unethical for many of the same reasons it's illegal and unethical to use a 6" long red snapper for bait.
