SURF FISHING Ft. Pickens for Bull Redfish - Pensacola Florida

[@joblow853]

Very nice. I grew up there and I am very familiar with surfing the reds right there in Ft. Pickens. Jacks and Blues too. Occasional Bonito as well. Very cool to watch you fishing my old stomping grounds. Love it.

[@roberthudlow8327]

Passing through from Washington State on our 6 month winter getaway from the snow. Stopped here to fish a few days. After seeing your videos now I will have to stay longer. Thanks for the inspection. Will make a longer stop here on my way to Fort Next year.

[@justinrabon7475]

Great job guys. Glad it payed off for you. It is a bit of a hike but well worth it! Thanks for the shout out!

[@30mofishing]

thx for the help justin. we need to do an episode together !

[@justinrabon7475]

30milesOut your welcome! Like some others suggested, use a little bit lighter non stainless hook. I use Mustad 1/0 circles. The light wire black finish looking ones. We definitely need to do it!

[@earlvickers7207]

We drove through Pensacola on Sunday on our way to Saint George Island from Canada. Had the whole family on the lookout for the 30 miles out crew! Love your videos!

[@marcus102361]

U guys rock.....love the beach fishing episodes......Ft.Pickens is beautiful......thank you.

[@jennym.9099]

That looked like a great time! Awesome ya'll get to spend your days together like that. Tight lines!

[@jonathansnyder8686]

Love the surf fishing video! I'm going to be traveling soon and bringing my surf rod with me. This gets me pumped up, can't wait!

[@rickbocian9058]

just a quick note, go to your local Harbor Freight and pick yourself a deadblow hammer (you pick the weight but make it girthy) to pound the sand spikes in. Does a good job driving em in and the plastic head will not destroy your spike....

[@valc7491]

I'm not the outdoors type but love the videos. Looks like so much work. That water is cold so I don't blame you for not going out there. My wife and I love living here.

[@alitabattlechicken9732]

Love the surf fishing vids guys! My wife and I are surf fishers on the east coast. Hoping to get hobies this year. You guys are our inspiration! WHAT!

[@alanjohnson8396]

Never fished there but love that park and that spot. I always enjoy wading out to the bar where Theresa waded.

[@garyduarte]

yall two have added fishing skills I love your episodes awesome every time

[@erinkourelis7430]

This is a very nice rod that built for like a 3000 series reel, this rod has a lot of power behind it and is very well made , very high end don't miss it!

[@JustMushroomThings]

Great vid. BTW when you are putting your PVC pipes in, just put some suction on them (pretend it's a bong) and they will sink right into the sand without any pounding.

[@KrocoKyle33]

Awesome!!! I'll be in Destin this summer with the yaks. Hopefully we hook up on something other than hardheads, lady fish, and blue runners this year!

[@dennisreeves632]

Love this video and love Pensacola beach. The fish you let go will live to be huge. They want forget the experience.

[@Reuvench]

This is one of the nicest videos ya'll made! And nice to see a new form of fishin g from ya'll....suprised u didn't have an ice chest to keep at least one of those beauties! Let's see more surf/bait fishing please

[@30mofishing]

thx richard... yes sir... lots more beach walking and surf fishing coming up. its about to get crazy this spring!

[@carlbanks1575]

Whether in the yaks or on the shore, you guys are awesome!!!

[@30mofishing]

thx carl

[@theSoutherlands]

thanks carl :)

[@johnmarschalk1977]

That's why there's a lanyard on them to put around your wrist. Amazing how many people don't use it. Lots a fish swimming around with gripper attached to their mouths until they starve to death

[@Cowboy36]

Winter surf fishing in Florida is so cool!

[@jameswilson1562]

The broken braid line was probably just rubbed off. I have seen a lot of guys rub through braid when we shark fish past a sand bar. Mono tends to hold up a bit better if you know there will be a shallow sand bar. Great video and tight lines guys.

[@30mofishing]

good point

[@jayvanhouwe2132]

Yes I,am in three feet of snow Yuk!!My daughter is coming up from orlando for vaction.If good lord willing we,ll be down there some time,permanently Thanks for great vid!!.

[@Charsept]

I've been there :) We only caught 1 flounder at the fort. Live Oaks is a great place for flats fishing in my experience. I'd like to go back, fun fishing trips in Pensacola.

[@30mofishing]

yes sir. i have several episodes from the oak spot. that monster jack i caught was there.

[@erikvanderburg3597]

Nice red fish. I’m going have to try fishing out there

[@soukiedookie]

Another great episode! You guys are awesome!

[@30mofishing]

thx souk

[@elynn963]

that is a tall sand bar!! Nice work! We are coming over again this summer! Maybe we can get together!

[@KeyWestKayakFishing]

Whew, catching the Bubbas. Nice job. Figured out another solid technique I think.

[@30mofishing]

yes sir... getting the feel for this florida thang!

[@rorydimov3519]

Looked like an awesome day of fishing!

[@MBingert-ut2hp]

I was there last month exact same spot that's where we go out to the gulf from our boat

[@pamesjarren1022]

the wrist strap is made for a reason lol, good save

[@OutdoorRhodes]

Yep need to get out an surf fish a little soon. That's my wife favorite way to fish.

[@TravisTackles]

Fort Pickens is legit! Love it out there!

[@leoramirez4024]

awesome video, get those Bull Red's,, thanks again for the video

[@BrentWalterSmith]

Wow, Mr Editor. Nice cuts. You're becoming the Robert Rodriquez of kayak fishing videos.

[@30mofishing]

[@texasseniorskayakfishing9223]

Great video, by the way just bought a new Yak at Mariner Sails. Great place to do business. Can't wait to take it to Port A.

[@timmurdock2540]

Great vid. Makes me feel warm up here in Canada

[@MONTEGOBLUE]

Hey bud nice video i seen your method of putting rod holders in the sand that was how i did it for a while but this guy showed me a trick where you suck on the pipe like a straw and push down with your hands they go right down 5 seconds

[@iluvpugstoo]

Great Video ! Livin' the dream, x.

[@dustinshay89]

Hey just moved here 3months ago. Love the videos

[@30mofishing]

thx dustin... welcome!

[@Alex-sg6dd]

Thanks it was really good

[@mobayguy]

Buddy you know how to fish! man I miss Flowda Excellent videos - Thanks!

[@danwilliams4189]

Yur gonna have to learn Teresa's redfish dance - for releasing redfish!! 😂😂

[@rsos8541]

good job guys love it.

[@domeniklosacano7524]

Looks like you’re at fort Mcree or the stretch of beach heading toward fort Pickens lol

[@Thewrightstuff777]

Love surf fishing!!

[@marekpenland2499]

Would love to see yall fish for some pompano. Would you use live or sand flea gulp? Love the videos yall do a great job representing the area and the fine fishing we have to offer!!!

[@30mofishing]

live first...

[@WeekendPirate]

That looked really fun

[@pauljalomo4556]

almost lost that fish grip lol. the wife and i have been there awesome WHAT fish on

[@robertgiese4913]

I’ve been in Pensacola for 32 years now. I wouldn’t live anywhere else!

[@dossfishing3821]

if you are fishing for smaller fish like whiting and stuff like that use the smallest peace of shrimp you can i have found out that you get more fish that way

[@trumandouglass2922]

or fishbites

[@dossfishing3821]

Trudog620 I never have had any luck while using those

[@30mofishing]

good idea. lots of guys in texas use them . may try a rod with fish bites next time

[@trumandouglass2922]

Really? I couldn't keep the whiting off of them.

[@dossfishing3821]

Truman Douglass I use them ever time I go out and still can't catch anything on them

[@TheRealAaronBurr]

is that a jellyfish at 7:57 in the bottom right hand corner?

[@30mofishing]

I'm sure. there were tons that day

[@CTomSmith]

I went surf fishing for the first time. I was using a big Penn, I think both were. I couldn't get it to cast more than 50 feet at best and kept going to the right. What am I doing wrong?

[@30mofishing]

get out in an open field. try a one oz weight. practice chunking it over and over. make sure the string is on your finger tip and pops off easy... not in the crease of the finger.... just play with it all. make sure you have enough weight relative to the size fishing line and rod.

[@angelcolon51]

Ty what's up man she's always hooking up before you! Fish on Teresa lol...! Man I wish i lived-in Pensacola! i been visiting every year for the last 7 year's! Thanks you guys, love the show! From Dallas Tx Fish On my friends! Please do a show in Destin! I'll be there last week of June hope to catch up with you guys maybe in Pensacola! You guys be safe and God Bless! Fish On!!!!

[@30mofishing]

[@justintyme3717]

[@iJaboHD]

I was going to head out to Pickens this past Monday to try for pompano. I would have seen you guys haha.

[@KayakChris]

LOVE the beach videos!

[@harrisontheoutdoorguy3909]

I was whiting fishing one time and All the sudden my reel starts screamin' and it was a bull red. Didn't get on the pier but. Saw it.

[@ratdog3055]

Theresa is the only gal I know that can catch a fish twice!

[@30mofishing]

lol

[@Austinandpup]

I caught a nice ray at that spot. Heck of a fight.

[@granio95]

Ty, which side of the island were y'all fishing? I'm going to be camping down there sometime in the next few weeks and was wondering which side is the best to fish from. Bay side, South side, or off the West side fishing the pass. Thanks.

[@30mofishing]

the surf side if gulf is calm. pass second then bay

[@granio95]

30milesOut thanks Ty. keep doin what youre doing.

[@andrewsampson1043]

you know u can make your own weights do you go to do is go to Bass Pro or Cabela's and buy the boat kit for it by the way to make your own save yourself the money that's what I do

[@trumandouglass2922]

More surf fishing please!

[@30mofishing]

roger that

[@carlschumacher3257]

@@30mofishing ft pickens is a national park, not a state park.

[@CTomSmith]

Where at Pickens was this in relation to the pier?

[@30mofishing]

right across the road.

[@tfennell7386]

Can you send the link on how you made those leaders? Thanks

[@txaquatics3065]

Love it man....What!!!

[@hopalongjohnny9797]

Where is this spot? I’m camping the last week in April there! I’ve fished a few spots, mostly just lady fish and amber jacks!

[@joshwhite1749]

I saw u on the bridge Sunday

[@30mofishing]

WHAT

[@patrickwebber5391]

what were yall using for bait? if it was in he bid I dident see it

[@30mofishing]

that cup of fresh dead shrimp.

[@ncs2041]

I fish here out in pcola florida and sometimes fp.Do you mind telling me where yall are fishing in fort pickens so we can try it out or is it secret?

[@nhojyelbom]

NCS 20 they had the spot on video, pretty easy to figure out. Everywhere out there fishes the same, find a nice trough

[@vinceh5163]

Hey Ty you got any dry fit/quickdry long sleeves XXXL?

[@30mofishing]

All our gear is at wwwtspring.com/30milesout-gear. Order what ever u need sir!!! Bam!!!

[@jasonmiller5716]

I’m a year behind. Lol. I don’t know how y’all did it. Im to scared to get in the water. Lol. That water is wayyyyyy clearer than surfside tx. Lmao.

[@30mofishing]

yes sir... only about 8 hrs from houston down 10. pure paradise.

[@jasonmiller5716]

30milesOut gunna have to go give it a try. Wife and I need to get away. How is the weather there now?

[@andrewcash1847]

is the tide all the way out? is that why it is so shallow

[@30mofishing]

yes. tide way out.

[@BuckcreekTV]

I live over in Orange Beach! What tackle shop do you use?

[@ncs2041]

What kind of fishing rig is best for catching stuff like that and bait?

[@30mofishing]

i use a double dropper loop. i will do a vid soon on how i make my own.

[@HiHi-tg2dz]

Havnt been catching stuff out in Pickens like we used too :/

[@30mofishing]

Hmmmm. Wonder why??

[@dgriffin6074]

Very nice videography.

[@30mofishing]

Thx!

[@JohnLee-vl8qk]

Do the reds run there all year long, or just in the winter?

[@30mofishing]

pretty much all year we find them on the beaches and in the bays.

[@leonelmolinajr2]

Is that a number 2 hook?

[@pucho513]

Reminds me of Old Ft desoto

[@davidhewett1484]

Great video! Love it immensely, but I think the Texas Reds are prettier though.

[@30mofishing]

its pretty much the same here.. it depends on where they are as to the color. the bulls we catch in the bay and marshes here are bronze. the ones offshore in the white sand take on a more washed out white color.

[@patmcdermott8547]

Do you prefer j-hooks over circle hooks? Just curious.

[@30mofishing]

just depends. i like j but some species like snapper u have to use circle...

[@stephenpellegrin7858]

TY what kind of camera system do you use

[@30mofishing]

just a go pro 5

[@crochazyrose3023]

What are those sleeves he put on? I am in P'cola so just point me to the shop, lol

[@30mofishing]

its the same company that makes our hoodies. ANETIK check them out online . i have a link and code in the description of this vid.

[@dreamingofbeingfree1217]

Nice video👍🏻

[@dmdonavinmelchor]

what was the bait used?

[@30mofishing]

shrimp, fresh dead

[@BassAmateur99]

AWESOME !

[@Swing4gr8nessN8]

that's gotta be some of the best water i've ever seen for surf fishing

[@bryceford9841]

Is that the gulf or sound side

[@30mofishing]

gulf

[@bryceford9841]

Thx

[@lelandcarr7076]

That's my favorite place to fish at

[@Guitarplayer219]

Would be better if you guys used non-stainless steel bait hooks so it actually has a chance of rusting out of the fish if you lose it

[@nhojyelbom]

Captain Cocoa Puffs all metal rusts out

[@Guitarplayer219]

Stainless steel is an alloy that that is used specifically for it's corrosion resistance. Of course all metal rusts eventually, however stainless steel will take exponentially longer than a non stainless steel hook. Diving on reefs where people catch goliaths you can see how old the stainless steel hook is in it's mouth but not even close to rusting or falling out. May as well not cheap out and use a sharper and stronger hook that also has a benefit for the fish if you lose it

[@wagnersantana_]

Nice hook. Smoll but strong!

[@jeffellis7996]

You know you don't have to hammer the rod holders in, RIGHT? hahahahahaha

[@30mofishing]

u are correct sir.. but still like to hammer them in.

[@cachorrok]

big big red fish

[@erikvanderburg3597]

Nice red

[@harrisontheoutdoorguy3909]

How long was the rod?

[@30mofishing]

hew harrison. watch AFTER THE EPISODE comes out today! we answer your question LIVE!

[@jamesdang3291]

One of it looked like a 10 foot penn battle 2 combo. Heavy rod and a big 8500 size reel. Cheap and easy for beginners.

[@the4wattsies681]

Why didn't you keep the redfish to eat?

[@30mofishing]

we prefer to let the big ones reproduce and eat the smaller ones now and again.

[@leonelmolinajr2]

What tackle shop is that?

[@30mofishing]

gulf breeze bait and tackle

[@rickybaxter5282]

What month was this? Cuz February sure ain't bikini weather around here....

[@rickybaxter5282]

I retract my previous statement...

[@30mofishing]

it was in feb.

[@rickybaxter5282]

30milesOut thanks for replying. Winter 2018 was my first in the area n fishing in February was brutal, temperature wise. That was all I had to go on. How often do u guys fish here?

[@Dayleno]

Been watching your videos for a week now . The weather is killing the fishing environment ATM trying to hook on some red or spec
