Saltwater Micro-Fishing For TROPICAL Fish Species In The Northeast?!?! (New Species Caught!)

[@differentfins]

Oh man, so many cool looking fish. I love multispecies videos! There is nothing wrong with some good micro fishing.

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

@@differentfins It’s one of my favorite things to do these days! So much diversity you might not find on the hunt for larger species!

[@differentfins]

@TheVilleOutdoors I wish I had the salt water option in Central Canada. I did catch some Atlantic silversides, black sea bass and scups last time I was in NYC. So many different fish but being connected to the worlds oceans you never know what may swim by.

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

@@differentfins That’s part of the excitement. No matter how slow the day may be going you never know what might swim by next!

Great Video! Always Interesting to see the biodiversity of the micro fish species. Is it better to micro fish in saltwater at night instead of day?

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

Thank you! Saltwater micro-fishing can be done during the day or night depending on what species you are looking to catch. In my last video I fished a micro sabiki rig for species more active during the day, but the species targeted in this video tend to spook easier in the daylight which is why I take the after dark approach.

So cool!

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed! 🤙

very interesting video. I've been trying to get into micro fishing myself but i've been struggling to find any tanago hooks, i cant even find them on amazon. any suggestions where i could find them?

Anglers Emporium

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

As @fishwizard5964 suggested, I usually find mine on anglers emporium. The tenkara bum website has them as well, but they are usually out of stock, but worth a check there as well.

[@JoshuaHarvey7718]

@@TheVilleOutdoors thanks for the advice anyways but you were right, tenkara bum was sold out and anglers emporium is too expensive with its shipping to canada

[@JoshuaHarvey7718]

@@fishwizard5964 thanks for the advice

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

@@JoshuaHarvey7718 There’s a goon number of them available through various eBay sellers as well, but not sure how much the shipping would be. But that might be another option.

hey i was wondering how you find spots with cool fish like this i tried going today after watching one your vids but i didnt catch anything that rare or uncommon, im in nj idk where you are but i do want to get into finding and catching lots of different types for fun any tips are appreciated thank you

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

The uncommon tropical visitors get washed up through the Gulf Stream as larvae or eggs so they start out in the ocean and get blown inshore through inlets where these tropical visitors can find refuge in the bay where there is more shelter and slower currents. So it would be best to start looking for areas behind openings to the ocean that connect to the bay. Any place with decent structure should have a tropical visitor or two although some are much more common than others.

@@TheVilleOutdoors thank you i’ll be sure to try again soon it was fun seeing if i could get any! i was able to get a crevalle jack yesterday idk if that’s considered tropical or not or rare. the bluefish kept messing up my sabina and stealing hooks tho! i just got some of those tiny hooks i have to see some vids on how to tie them i didnt realize how tiny they were gonna be😂

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

@@mmfish Crevalle Jacks are considered tropics for this far North! They only get about a max size of 4 inches before the water gets too chilly and they go away. The tiny sabiki rigs are super helpful for catching those tiny ones that are more active during the day. If you found a spot with Crevalles there are likely other tropics possible there!

[@mmfish]

@@TheVilleOutdoors oh okay that’s good i got one then i think the bluefish there prob eat the other tropics lol they chased in every fish i reeled up mostly was catching spots and silver perch

[@TheVilleOutdoors]

@@mmfish Between the Bluefish, Sennet and crabs the tropics are definitely fighting to survive out there 😅
