Sheepshead in NYC! Big porgy bite still hot in Jamaica Bay! using crabs for bait.

First of all, big shout out to the gentleman that gave me a hand. This fish had me all tangled up on some wood pilings. Great fight and very rewarding because I was looking for this fish for a couple months now. We also got back on the porgy action before it dies down. The fall run is about to start and things are looking great leading to it. Now it’s time to move on to other species.

NOTHING cooler or more respectful of the game we love "recreational fishing" than returning trophy fish! I do it ALL THE TIME and I love watching other anglers do the same. Congratulations! THAT was cool!

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thank you! I was very happy to let it go to fight another day. Amazing creatures! the bite of this fish feels like tiny tog gnawing at your bait, but once you set the hook, better hold on to your rod.

[@topcat43truffles15]

First off I didn’t know Sheepshead had returned to the NYC area….. Second, I had no idea sheepshead grew that big! Congratulations on a great catch and release! I’m glad you had video footage to document the catch and share with us…. 👍🏻🍺😎

[@anthonysfishingadventures6867]

Awesome catch bro. Will be out there soon. Unfortunately going to have to rent a skiff to get those parts. Keep it up.

[@AOMilvado]

Any rentals nearby? Who actually rents them?

[@anthonysfishingadventures6867]

@@AOMilvado actually a place in Rockaway on beach 59st.

[@NYCE_Fishing]

If you can get your hands on a fish finder that would help a lot to find the schools and check water depth. Check out the Garmin striker 4 fish finder.

[@anewlookatlurestopwaterpop5466]

Nice job with that sheaphead I hope get another one soon.

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thank you bro!

[@anewlookatlurestopwaterpop5466]

That was a nice fish

[@anewlookatlurestopwaterpop5466]

I hope you are getting ready

[@AOMilvado]

Crazy catch!! I guess you didn't want to show the area... How far from the MP bridge was that? Sheepshead in NYC! That's epic! I wonder if more will show up...

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thank you bro! Every season we get visited by some exotics. The cobia were running crazy this year also black drum was caught around our area. You just have to look around.

[@AOMilvado]

Yeah. I heard about the cobia. They say this stuff was around before hurricane Sandy came. Either way. Great video!

[@infiniti2003]

[@besmirdemiri7523]

Nice job on the release

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thanks man!

[@redstwok1123]

Great video. What bait were you using for the porgies?

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thank you! I’ve been using crabs for jumbo porgies lately.

[@darylwilliams5770]

What is the setup that you had the jig on? The 2nd more sensitive combo 😁

[@NYCE_Fishing]

I don’t break the bank when it comes to my set ups. I’m not saying not to go for quality products. Whatever fits your budget it’s the good. The setup I’ve been using for most of my videos is; Rod: salt striker 7’6” medium heavy, fast action. Reel: Mavllos Surf-Tiger Saltwater Jigging Spinning Fishing Reel 2000 6000 Max Drag 20kg Sealed Bearing Surf Boat Fishing Spinning Reel a.co/d/i1cebEq Line: 20 lb braided line to 20lb fluorocarbon leader.

[@darylwilliams5770]

T y much, greatly preciate it.

[@AOMilvado]

What bait were you using for the Porgy? How about the sheepshead?

[@NYCE_Fishing]

All caught on crabs my friend. Good luck!

[@DrunkieVibesz]

Just wondering where in JB this is? The bridge,?

[@omarsheriffkaptan]

They never answer such question.

[@chrisjones3070]

WOWWEE! Awesome catch and release! At least something good is coming out of this global warming!

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Thanks man! Soon we gonna get a snook around here lmao.

[@RewatchingguALL]

[@NYCE_Fishing]

They’re good eating!

[@rumdab]

What crab are you using as bait?

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Asian crabs. Thanks for watching!.

[@rcnmasterplumber]

I Think i Was Doing Something Wrong I Went for Porgies And I was Attacked By Baby’s Sea Bass And Baby Porgys. i Trace All That areas

[@NYCE_Fishing]

If you have a fish finder look for the schools. Try by the bridge walls. Don’t stay in one spot for too long. Good luck! Thank you for watching.

[@brianlaffey3672]

[@NYCE_Fishing]

Sheepshead
