How to Surf Fish Advanced VS Beginner Surf Fishing Cart DIY Modifications Surf Fishing Florida

[@mikebond4543]

TIP: Cut the ice packs open and pour the liquid into 2 liter plastic cola bottles. (The liquid is harmless). Then just freeze the bottles and pop them into your cooler when you’re ready to go. Once you’re home, a quick rinse and back into the freezer until next trip. No leaks, no mess! I fish 2-3 days a week, and been using the same two bottles for two years now. Never buy ice! THANKS for a great video!

[@SlotCityFishing]

Dang that’s def better than what I’m doing. Thank you!

[@switchofftogettagrip1400]

Cheers for the tip, am only 5 minutes into the video, already on the marketplace looking at costs involved, will be a few years till I get us one, only got 4 rods/reels, so backpack most of it or modify a plastic shopping trolley to grind off the garbage and maybe apply some kind of motor to it with a remote control, where there is a will, there is a way!! a way will make itself known when we are ready. I am happy to catch and release, only keeping dinner plate sized fish for dinner that night!

After 10 years of drooling, I finally splurged on an Alumacart Big Kahuna last week. Assembly went great, first trip out was fair enough. Your video touched on a lot of issues I had... no spike holders, yeti cooler is heavy, might want to add a push handle (wife can steer in front, I push in back), bought ice instead of reusable packs, need a sand flea rake solution. Long story short, whether you buy a budget or premium cart, this video has very solid recommendations to improve anyone's surf fishing cart experience. Great video, thank you!

[@SlotCityFishing]

Thanks Matt glad you enjoyed the video. I almost bought one of those carts at ICAST a few years ago.

[@wesleyhackney]

Quite a setup. I’ve been slowly making changes to my cart just added 4 wheels. I’m retired and on a limited income so can’t afford your level of customization but I’ve done a lot on my own to make it suit my needs. I actually made my own rod holders with pvc pipe and attached aluminum rods to them to make them easy to put into sand. Look forward to see your fishing videos this spring

[@SlotCityFishing]

That’s awesome doing it yourself is always the best option.

[@eugene955]

I second the fact that wheelez wheels are a game changer. I bought a wheelez beach cart after years of trying other brands and I wish I would have done it sooner.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Yea lots of copy cats but none are as good

What are you using for the axels? It looks like heavy tubing instead of the solid aluminum ones everyone sells. I just got my first set of balloon tires and waiting on second to arrive and need axel ideas.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Look up surf fishing solutions out of Jacksonville Florida on Facebook he did all this work for me and I believe you’re right it’s solid axels. He will know what tires you have and what size axles you need and the kit to install them

[@jawjuh1005]

What a great video!! About the rod/reel combo. Do you feel you loose any casting distance over conventional reels? Do you need some kind of finger protection while casting? After the cast do you just set the bait runner and that’s enough to get and see the bite? And then turn off bait runner to fight the fish? I LOVE that idea!

Definetly looking into a kayak trailer or something similar as I am not walking back to the car 3-4 times, Very interesting video, already looking on Facebook market place, wonder what kind of RC motor would be needed to haul a beginners fishing trailer and all the goodies. Only a BIG pay rise would get me a descent 4wd and trailer, to help Everyone get the stuff to where ever they are going to! Kindness of the type will help you in the future! Putting together a LARGE collection of videos for me and the wife to watch together so she understands why/what/how and all the rest of it. COOL TYRES on the advanced one, will be looking for kick ass tires for the beginner one, anyone sits on it? Walks home! Cheers from Australia

[@chadmcdougle9341]

You mention dispatching and bleeding with the bucket. You show that in any videos? I've seen others, but like the way you explain stuff. Thanks!

[@SlotCityFishing]

I don’t really do the violent stuff on camera because a lot of kids watch the show. But basically as quickly as I can I fill the bucket then cut the fish through his gills and let him swim in the bucket till it bleeds out then put it on ice before the water gets warm. Another method people did is called iki jime it’s a Japanese method to get the high quality fresh fish. It’s a more complicated process but that’s what they do to get the highest grade sushi level fish.

[@brodyballew925]

Bryan’s work is top notch! Everything he does is great. Love me some hook’d fabrication as well. I have the fish n mate push handle, however still gonna get Brian to make me one here soon. If he’s down to course lol. If you don’t mind I’m gonna have to steal your rod holder extensions, that’s one of my biggest pet peeves is my rods flying around in my cart

[@SlotCityFishing]

Not at all that’s why I made the video

[@zasceffectapplz2379]

I’ve been working on my surf rod setups, I’ve got a 5500 spin fisher myself, what rods did you pair yours with, I feel my rod I use currently doesn’t pair well. Thanks, what a great video man!

[@SlotCityFishing]

Thank bro I use over the bar rods by Florida surf tackle

[@chrism8013]

A better solution to the rod holder extensions would be to not heat them, but leave them flush and put on a Fernco hub fitting (plumbing section Home Depot), and use a utility knife to cut a notch to hold the reel stem. Same exact thing that is what is on your sand spikes. This prevents the rod from twisting and flopping even more. Use them on my cooler rack on the beach buggy. Work great for intended use. You can also mount quick fists on the cart to carry the spikes & rake. For storage, Tackle Webs makes nylon sleeves to hold plano boxes, and attaches to the side of the cooler. Now for the gorilla in the room; the sputnik weights... Terrible, as I have used multiple variations of them, and all they do is catch sea weed, when its prevalent. Pyramid is the ay to go, but no way 4 sided pyramids. The 3 sided pyramids are a much better option. They will not catch any cross current, as they flat on one side, and are sloped to deflect the current.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Sounds cool I’d like to see that.

[@navychief8425]

Another great teaching video Jessie. I've clicked on so many videos which claim to be informative or teaching and it's more of "hey watch me catch all these fish". I ordered a rig bag from Florida Surf Tackle, I am going to use it while I am still in Florida and use it back home to store my walleye worm harnesses. Do you know if they sell extra the envelope/pages ? Thanks again for a great video, tight lines bro!

[@SlotCityFishing]

You’re very welcome dude. I’m not sure about the pages for the bag I’ll ask?

[@MrBuckvideo]

How do you make turns?

[@SlotCityFishing]

The center of gravity is far enough back a slight down pressure on the handle it pivots on the back wheels. Its pretty much effortless

[@JavierTeran81]

Nice set up!.. I am still wating to find a second set of wheelez for cheap and then I can finally do my lift .

[@SlotCityFishing]

They are getting harder to come by for sure.

[@alanknight4418]

I was thinking about getting and customizing a cart and getting a hitch mounted carrier with a fold down ramp. Even easier on and off.

[@ryanrowe1568]

Sweet setup! I've been waiting to see this video since you first mentioned it. I have a fish n mate sr with the orange poly wheels that I'm looking to beef up for this year. It's been great, but I want to make it better. Especially when my kids come with me. Now I have some ideas. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the 20k giveaway. I would love to use the tackle bag and give DS custom tackle a shot.
