Pier Fishing using Glowing Fish Kryptonite

Have you tried pier fishing in a storm before? Fishing in a storm is not always our favorite condition to fish. We are pier fishing tonight using small plastic gulp lures on jigheads. We like using the smaller lures and ultralight lines to catch fish in quantity vs quality. (Although we were catching some pretty quality white perch!)Tonight we have a secret weapon.It is what we call “fish kryptonite”.
We are staying at a hotel with our new friends and we have got a private pier! Watch us test out the mysterious green underwater kyrptonite!

I was about an hour from home and 30 minutes from shore when a popup thunderstorm hit. I made it to the bank to wait it out so i was bored waiting on the storm to pass. I dropped a line and it didnt even settle before i had a fish on. this continued as long as the storm did and as soon as the sun popped out, the bites stopped. I went home with a wet butt and a ton of fish. good times.

[@JL-kg2zl]

I've watched alot of other fishing channels and I have to say I love your yours. I spend alot of time in my day watching your videos.

[@hoobiebooh3473]

We used to hang a coleman lantern just above the water at the Grande Isle fishing bridge worked like a champ for white trout and specs! Good times :)

[@brodi707]

I don’t follow many fisherman on KZbin however your videos are awesome man! Keep it up!

[@jeogriffith]

You guys are g's for going out there in the storm I never fished in the storm before but now I might try.

[@trevorreilly963]

I live in Maine and in my experience storms kick up water run off that often provide food fish as well as blocking out some of the sun light to provide more cover for predatory fish.

[@RickyyPersaudd]

Your videos are amazing man, always doing something different and a good entertainer! I'm in the UK, mid 20's and have fished here in the UK, Turkey and South America/Africa. But I'd love to travel like you do and learn more about different types of fish!

[@joshdama6324]

My best outings fishing have been in the rain and right afterwards. Great build and video.

[@marioclaudio6172]

Actually depends in the area if many different fishes around. And before or after the Storm comes the fishes scatters many sizes. I did fished with my friends and we have caught Groupers and Yellow fin Snappers. Its pretty expensive fishes in HK. Stay safe and have a happy fishing day.

[@guttagutta420]

This absolutely works. When I fish from the pier at night I hang my lantern a few inches above the water and tear em up. We also use lights on our boat. I have flood lights all around it.

[@tasichannel9475]

Fascinating... The first few dives with my prototype lander I had ziptied some green glow sticks to it, later models had their own lights so I never used the glow sticks again... I might have to revisit this, esp during any night dives...

[@raymondmills585]

My experience with fishing during a storm is that it brings them in. For example, a trout honeyhole that I fish does awesome in spring and fall, because the water temps are cooler at the surface than in summer time (supposedly the trout like ~52 F). Flies work great there, because they are not bottom feeders. Anyways, during a rain storm in summer, Im able to catch those trout with flies because they come up to the surface when the rain cools off the higher temp waters. Again, I can't really prove this scientifically speaking, but it's what I've experienced with fishing during a storm.

[@Mothafuckenzay]

Just seeing it I know it would work, the light attracts a ladder of food, very cool

[@Easternlongislandcast]

Fluke/Flounder/Weakfish are fish that respond well to low barometric pressure (times like storms). Stripers, bluefish, and pelagic species for example tend to become difficult to catch in low pressure systems.

[@murphfee617]

Ive always had good luck fishing right before Or during a storm👍

[@keithhuskey3136]

Never seen that before looks awesome

[@CruxCollective]

Every single fish has a swim bladder, some will call them air bladders. Think of them as little buoyancy swim balloons that allow fish to swim straight, not sink or float etc. Anyway This is where a fish will first begin to experience discomfort from a drop in barometric or “atmospheric pressure” most commonly associated with an incoming storm; beginning around 24-36 hours prior to the storm fronts actual arrival. This is the window for some awesome fishing. Because In response to this discomfort, cause by the drop in pressure larger fish will head to deeper water while smaller may head to shallower areas in order to adjust to the new pressure and wait out the storm, however just prior to as well as while embarking on their efforts to relieve their discomfort they will ravenously feed! Some say it’s because the fish is unsure as to how long the discomfort/storm will last, others say it’s because the fish is unsure if there will be food when they get to the location of relief.. All I know is the bite is most definitely better/amazing the day before a storm. It’s like clockwork and doesn’t require a hurricane, a decent thunderstorm will set Em off. If you live near water get yourself a barometer or download an app, it’s worth it. Living in Florida, Irma was a hell of a storm but damn was the fishing good. I always fish grass flats with clear shots to deeper channels/water ways during this time. Great for massive reds, trout, jacks, blues, even the occasional tarpon. Anyway, dig your guys videos. Keep doing what your doing!

[@scottwall8419]

Crux Co very informative, thanks for taking the time to post that. just getting back into fishing after years of downtime, good info for all fisherman

[@thewhopper256ify]

Crux Co Interesting info. Thanks for sharing

[@nodrama490]

Crux Co great tip , ill check it out👍

[@codymartin2532]

Except sharks which are also fish. They have no swim bladders.

[@kaikart123]

How could the change in ATMOSPHERIC pressure affects fishes IN THE WATER?

[@briankoundry3401]

Lived on the Housatonic River in Connecticut for 20 years it was my back yard and we used glow sticks to do the same thing and they really did attract fish and a bunch of eels 👍🏻so I would say it really does work 👍🏻

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

I have been building and using these for a while and let me tell you they work absolutely wonderful and have many videos and photos to prove it

[@kevinsinnock1795]

Another great video, keep them coming.

[@oneshotme]

Mmmm perch Glad to see you up and around and out as well!!! With Irma coming up they eat like hell but finding what time is tricky

[@user-nq6bz1or2v]

Fished in Santa Barbara this year. Came back positive for COVID. So storm is good

[@danstephens1388]

Fishing during a storm in my exp does bring the fish in (both in fresh and salt) Trick is as always finding the right lure pattern which as of late has been bucktails with otter bait strips

[@eng.yousif1]

This man loves persh fish. It makes him happy or something unique about that persh

[@indiopeltier9758]

This music rules!Great video dudes!!!

[@BCarey1970]

I have a green light I use. Cost me $15.00 plus the car batterie I use to power it. Love it. It works!!!!!

[@dnomztirnebirus9901]

Before and after storm, fishing is awesome just like that fish seems to be hungry before and after a bad weather or storm.

[@clarkedgaredgar4214]

When a storm first blows in ,the fish get into a feeding frenzy, and will eat just about anything.

[@amosjohnson863]

It’s low weather pressure, in the Gulf of Mexico and the bays , fish are boiling over each other right before a hurricane, the aerial photos are amazing.

[@theofulk5636]

Those 'perch' sure look like what we call white bass ! I remember my cousins from La. called them "BRIM", too.

[@jmadden71]

Great videos. Real content. Thanks.

[@B1gHagar]

Fishing before or in a storm is the best.

[@coolguyindahouse31]

I’m going to have to borrow that light🐟

[@gimpdog9146]

Once again, your entertaining content and awesome personality have combined into a great video. Keep it up, buddy!

[@HeySkipper]

+Gimp Dog thank you for such kind words, dog! Anything you would want to see in particular?

[@gimpdog9146]

Senko Skipper No sir, nothing in particular. I just love to see all the dock, pier ,and surf fishing videos. I prefer to not use a boat when i take my family fishing , and i have learned a lot from you already.

[@habbi126]

Thanks for uploading!😇

[@shellbacksclub]

best & most innovative fishing channel on yt! i wish i could buy stock in this guy!

[@prestons3055]

Right after or before a storm I've always had great luck with catfishing.

[@rainzer0]

I was planning to make one of those. But the cooling was tricky if you're planning on going over like 10watts. Cree leds are dirt cheap and awesome. I might look into building one.

[@junaidahmed3980]

Great videos team senko, I'm subscribing!

[@aissacperales9322]

Senko you videos are amazing!!!

[@smpnegeri30buton59]

Good idea..... I will trying.....

[@jeraldali776]

Good luck on your surgery! TIGHT LINES and SCREAMING DRAGS! : ) !

[@outlawshinemaker]

I fish with Dock Demons and Uglystik dock runner they fit perfect in the low side of gun rack in my truck awesome lil rods .

[@tmo4330]

Nice job. I will try.

[@johnnychen9835]

Awesome! Like always

[@haithamyassen9715]

Before a storm the atmospheric pressure drops below the normal amount (~30 inHg). The decrease in pressure triggers the fish to eat more. The low pressure system should carry out through the entirety of the storm. That's why a lot of times you might catch more on a gloomy, overcast day. Cheers😊

[@fishingwithelyon851]

Hi Senko Skipper, love your videos. Can you make two every week please. You should come here to Australia, Great fishing!

[@HeySkipper]

+Elyon Cloete haha, I would love to make two every week but unfortunately right now I'm going slow due to my ACL tear. Surgery at the end of this month and gotta save up some videos for you guys while I'm bed ridden

[@fishingwithelyon851]

OK, THANKS! Tight lines

[@koinano]

Hope you get through the storm I live in Houston love your videos

[@Jackson-ds8ot]

Come to the Missouri river to catch an average of 20 to 30 lbs per catfish

[@damionsnodgrass4264]

This is awesome I wonder if this would work in muddy rivers

[@bigsxy2289]

when i fished in port washington wisconsin i always fish from shore in a storm and always catch my limit of fish

[@danelobe2524]

Predator fish get really active right before storms, I'm not sure why but that's my experience. Big catfish really move around a lot also.

[@smcewen7]

Yeah during a storm the barometric pressure falls and a lot of fish bite when the barometric pressure is falling

[@diamondly7793]

I love ur videos it makes me want to fish more

[@HeySkipper]

+Diamond ly thanks you so much for watching and commenting. You make us want to film more

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

In Wisconsin we always got more fish when its raining. Or when its overcast.

[@Doingitrightplumbing]

There's always a Feeding Frenzy before the storm

[@jabraxxus]

The storm stirs up the bottom. The sea worms and shellfish start moving. The bottom dwellers feed on them and inturn the predator fish feed on the bottom dwellers. The light does work. I have had one for about 12 years that I use for crappie, white perch and stripped bass on Kerr and Gaston Lakes. Too much fun.

[@yessir1230]

It's great I'm in Clearwater Beach FL

[@HotMusicEverOK]

By the way you are great man thank you for sharing your video

I also built kind of same rig for catfishing, sealed it with PRC 1422 it is a aircraft sealant never leeks

[@colbysden.8357]

Always fish rough water. Just not to rough. Storm helps to stir up bottom. helps attract

[@gravitystorm61158]

Many years ago I was fishing the Intracoastal waterways in Ft. Lauderdale and a dredge had its lights on around the barge and shrimp were crowding the lights. And Snook were hitting everything that shined.

[@HeySkipper]

Fish seem to love to hide in the shadows of these light lines

[@kurth5597]

From my experience, when it comes to storms it all has to down with a low pressure system. If the Barometric pressure is dropping fish go dormant. If it's just a big rain event, the rain oxygenates the water and stimulates feeding . Now after the rain if the temperature drops significantly this will reduce fish activity.

[@METATRON33]

Agreed.

[@G0SuBunnY]

I know when its storming I typically catch 5-10 more crabs than I normally would, I think maybe because they go to the shallow ends to get what gets stirred up. or to seek shelter.

[@robertsiegel2618]

I have caught brown bullhead & fantail carp on the exact same thing!!!

[@curtisblair7618]

Nice video, good to see you out there fishing again 👍

[@HeySkipper]

I meant videos at the end

[@MojoSun1]

Do you have any tips on standing on the reef and using bait for topwater fishing?

[@theeabster1983]

You can just hang a lantern over top of the water and it will attract all sorts of fish and crabs. But it'd be interesting to see how he built that

[@eetuahonen7836]

[@HeySkipper]

+Eetu Ahonen thank you:)

[@tylerk7572]

Creative video,nice job

[@crazycoyote3342]

Hey can you give us and idea on how he made that light. I am super interested. Great channel

[@diamondly7793]

I have been waiting for a new vid!!

[@HeySkipper]

+Diamond ly aw! This made my day!

[@CaryKelly11]

It's the changes in barometric pressure that gets the fish biting or getting lockjaw. Falling barometer usually means good fishing and rising barometer usually means slower fishing. The fish seem to know that bad weather is coming and it's a good idea to have a full belly before that weather sets in. Given that, finding the fish makes all the difference. There might be a falling barometer but if you are not on the fish you certainly wont catch them.

[@Sutter0013]

Lightning striking my pole when I walked away then got a 5lb channelcatfish when I came back. Rod and reel were toast but the fish was tasty

[@Sutter0013]

Was stupid and was finishing during the onset of a thunderstorm in Idaho. Got up to get my poncho from my car and when I was about 50 feet away lightning struck

[@gnogno3788]

Nice Perch

[@potterhopkins1334]

I love this channel 😁😁😁

[@michigandirtdigger8202]

Cool video,, thanks for sharing.What brand of fishing pole were you using in this video? Please respond..

[@darenpitts5662]

When a front moves in or out it lowers and raises the barometric pressure which makes fish feed or go dormant

[@martians8083]

WOW THE BEST

[@marioclaudio6172]

Usually during the Typhoon cyclone is around the corner the winds blows the water currents and makes the fishes goes to a safer place. Sometimes i can catch a 10 lb Grouper by luck during the Typhoon cyclone. Its fun but dangerous too. Take care and stay safe always.

[@TheMasterCaster]

Killer vid! Fishing in storms can be dangerous, but it can really turn the fish on sometimes

[@HeySkipper]

+TheMasterCasters I'm with ya, Jeremy. Just have to go inside when there's thunder and lightning

[@TheMasterCaster]

Senko Skipper yep. No fish is worth dying for

[@filipinofantasy]

I live in Virginia in Chesapeake. Every time a northeaster comes out the coast it does draw fish into the rivers but during and right after the storm all the tributaries form the streets run off into the rivers and make the water murky and the fish don’t bite until it clears up

[@maxmax3636]

Fishing in my experience is generally awesome during mild fish able storms

[@HeySkipper]

+Solomon Jovenal I agree, the pressure change activates them!

[@HeySkipper]

+Solomon Jovenal currently in Baltimore, Solomon, and not catching anything. We gotta go out next week

[@jameshays791]

Try floating a green light like that. I have been fishing for strippers before & we use a huge spotlight to draw in the baitfish. We caught several large strippers 34” plus. We just jigged though the light. It was like watching a sailfish bashing a baitball. Awesome!

[@cricketmc5736]

Hey brendan what kind of reel /line do you throw on your dock demon when you’re pier fishing?

[@fredpaulis8774]

back home before a tropical storm or hurricane hits, the bites for game fish seem to rise. idk why but they are a bit active during the day

[@MrRolandarriaga]

Biggest red fish I've ever caught was in a storm! Down IN TX,USA they getup to 40". He clocked in at 44".

[@marcusturner5295]

I caught some of my best fish during a storm.

[@oakland002]

Yeah I bought some light online too , under $20, and the biggest issues with these cheaper lights is , the seal is not always good , so right away when I got mine , I went back and silicone the end caps and where the cord goes in . Had mine in water 2 weeks straight , no issues Of course I think you're suppose to have it on a timer for at lest 3-4 days to gradually attract baits , before the bigger fish will show up . Unless it's a establish fish area already

[@backwoodsshiner887]

You can get those lights on amazon and eBay for $20-40 I got two I use on my boat all the time for crappie fishingb

[@Tombombadillo999]

The fishes must b thinking “lets hang at the disco” , thats why the come there

[@troygramenz7645]

Look on Amazon all kinds of green led fishing lights for way cheaper. By in love you vids and your face book channel. Keep up the good work.

[@kuttinkuddy3905]

I bought a set of light tubes for my boat for 40$ ish. green Blu white plastic tubes with halagen bulb. hooked up to 12v trolling battery.

[@andynguyen6498]

Fishing during a storm is counterproductive. You'll get more bites than normal, but then you have to deal with the weather, and possibly lightning strikes or in worst case, tornadoes. In my experience the best time to fish is within 4 hours after a heavy storm, especially after a tornado or extremely high winds. It stirs up the water and also flings insects on top of the water, causing a feeding frenzy that lasts for many hours.
