Surf Fishing Gear - COMPLETE LIST - REVIEW - Direct Links For Striped Bass Fall Run Summer Bluefish

[@imcryoqa]

Looks like you've got all the bases covered. Now lets talk about mama's secret bug repellant!

[@GetReelBassFishing]

hahahaha maybe I'll share a little bit more about it when I get back on the beach lol

[@MrNick-]

I like that homemade rod holder idea!

[@qwiswaz9774]

my main rig for throwing spoons and jigs is the fg knot to the mono (or albright if using wire) then i tie a swivel to the end of the leader. then use a splitring to switch out the different weights without retying . its not as easy as a swivel clip, but i like the tight tumbling action when retrieving/jigging from the jetties better, and reduces line twist. i will add a breakaway clip to the swivel if i start throwing lures, but i usually bring a dedicated plug rod for the jigs & spoons. i use 3oz crocodile spoons down here in tx. nice content man, i wish we could catch striped bass in the salt down here.

[@steveBo26]

Thanks for the great videos. I’m new to surf fishing and your videos are very informative.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I have a video coming out on Monday that is a full info video on “how to get started surf fishing” and everything you actually need to at least start catching fish! Hope to see you over in that comment section next week! Any questions, feel free to ask!

[@alexsrodowski3918]

When they tell you to get korkers they mean actual carbide spikes instead of the tiny trash studs..

[@hunterholt1252]

Loved the video! Great job explaining your why for everything! Made me feel like I was on the right path as I’m new to the hobby. Thanks for the tips as well

[@billvoss1362]

Excellent video bro! I’m just getting into surf fishing. And I was lookin for a video to help me with what type of gear I need and came across yours. Very helpful! Thank you!

[@matthewstoltzfus6688]

I am more interested in the bright red well done great choice love it bro

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Man I miss that truck so much!

[@chuckdumas1023]

Good video bro ! Think you covered it all ! I always wear a casting glove cutting yourself on braid is not fun ! A good headlamp and backup light for night fishing is a must!

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks Chuck! Just got 2 in the mail!

[@nomaddamon670]

Sail cloth is your friend! Many custom bag builders out there. Not cheap but it'll last many years and you'll never have an issue. The big dude you fish with will know about them. He's wearing about 2 grand worth of gear in videos. Korkers- I too use the small studs. I'm on the rocks with waves hitting me often. I'm glued to the rocks with confidence. I feel the larger carbide spikes cause difficulty when moving around on the rocks. Sure, if you're on three inches of wet green slimy rock they're ok (I am still confident in the small stud in this situation). But on top of the jetty with DRY rocks, they slide.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Dang okay man. I'll look into that. And yeah, I like my small studs. I feel like there is enough support gripping into the rocks without me literally feeling like I'm on stilts with just 8 points of contact on a slippery rock haha

[@JWF952]

i just wanna say one thing i always have instead of the shoulder strap attached to the surf bag is a heavy duty uncle mikes police belt through the loops of the bag. Ive had a couple times with the waters that, that belt saved my ass. You should invest in a good belt

[@voxmansilungan9020]

That’s how I rig it too

[@GetReelBassFishing]

There's a belt attached to the bag. SOOOOO much easier then the shoulder strap. That shoulder strap is just there to keep the belt and bag from slipping down from my tiny waste haha

[@JosePerez88]

Thanks for the advice I’m just getting started out on surf fishing this was very helpful. Have a great day

[@stevengrant6466]

Nice work. I run a similar set up. Use an Albright knot and double the braid when you tie it. Add a drop of UV curing glue. Might be Able to connect 30 braid to 50 mono or floro

[@SaltDonky]

He got the korkers 😂😂

[@richardfuchs5131]

Look up the GT knot. Strongest braid to mono ( leaders) knot. Better than the blood knot. Also try the TA clip or the breakaway brand clip. Strong and won’t open Or stretch out like the clip you’re using

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I'll look into it. And honestly, I've had the TA clips open up on me about 5 times...never had a duo-snap open on me...haha

[@Jiban_Katha]

Hi man I love watching your video. Your video is full of fun and informative. I really love to know about fishing rules and regulatory if you have time or knowledge it’s gonna help a lot for new fisherman. Please

[@GetReelBassFishing]

www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/fishlimitsfish.pdf This link will explain things much better then I could. Also, it includes everything instead of me just covering the specific fish I'm targeting in a video! I hope this helps! Stay Reel! #smoochandrelease

[@surfandstreamfisher5749]

i know this video is a couple of months old so i don't know if you've switched your leader configuration yet. but IME you're better off using a 3'-4' leader connected to the main line via barrel swivel. when you connect line to line and cast 2-3oz lures the knot will weaken going thru the guides.

[@128jhk]

Wouldn’t the swivel go through the guides and damage it as well?

[@surfandstreamfisher5749]

@@128jhk you don't let the barrel swivel go thru the guides. on a 9'-11' rod it's not an issue to have a 3'-4' drop when casting.

[@aprilmurray6886]

New to fishing in my retirement I learn so much from your videos Needed this one for sure

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks so much, I’m glad it helps you! Good luck, have fun! #smoochandrelease

[@charlenekociuba7396]

You will be successful if you are flexible, learn as you go, read and get out there when the fish are moving ( a bit of rain, splash, wind etc in other words when it is sloppy, you will catch. Really! Happy Fishing. Check out the Baymen's Association, old articles, seek advice and tips from the experienced fishermen.

[@hooked-upsurfcasting4985]

put 3 sp minnows, one talking popper . 4 bucktails and 18 diamond jigs in your back pack and buy one or 2 other type of lures to experiment maybe ?! i mean for gods sake but a super strike darter bro !

[@christopherlaw1889]

Dahtahs!!

[@ace5538]

I'm thinking about picking up a 12ft carp rod for surf and dam fishing for hybrid and stripper

[@richiepatanjo6536]

I have been waiting for this

[@GetReelBassFishing]

haha Well, here it is!

[@frankbalkoski7965]

Take some first aid, scissors,and sharp cutters in case you hook yourself, or someone. You never know if that lure comes free from that fish.

[@brianmcintee7303]

you forgot about the f 250 that gets you there and back

[@GetReelBassFishing]

hahaha! Ah yes, the TANK! lol

[@glenberman873]

Great video. I’ve been enjoying your videos. Much appreciated this one in particular. From years of all types of fishing and experiences all over the world. I suggest one more item as a staple...A proper first-aid kit. Unfortunately I’ve needed them over the years mostly due to freak accidents. Cheers!

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Yes!!

[@rainsong7327]

@@GetReelBassFishing do the spikes on the Korkers wear down fast ?I walk on parking lots in Montauk, Smith Pt.

[@garrettlambert4128]

I’d shorten your leader 3 to 5 foot is plenty. Also fish lighter bucktails 1/2 to 1 1/2 is plenty for most places also u ever mentioned teasers which are a must have in my opinion. Also get some epoxy jigs

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Got all of what you mentioned the day after shooting this video. Thanks bro Stay Reel! #smoochandrelease

[@garrettlambert4128]

Get Reel Bass Fishing good luck and tight lines......plenty of Spanish Mackeral around and the hard tails won’t be far behind

Enjoy your videos and tips. Big help.

Thanks Tom! Glad you’re getting something out of these videos!! #smoochandrelease

[@richardfuchs5131]

And might want to get some boot foot waders for sand beaches. Boot foot fill up with sand and cause foot pain.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Yeah, I used the boot foot last year, for the entire fall run. The only problem I had with those was I couldn't get a pair that fit my foot properly. So I could come up with insane pain in my toes, and ankles because there was absolutely no support in them. However, with my stocking foot and Korker boots, its like wearing a regular supportive boot. But yeah...they fill with sand in the surf lol I guess it's just weighing what hurts more hahah Good Luck man, Stay Reel! #smoochandrelease

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

Great setup bro, I try to do the same by having a different bag for fluke, bluefish, StripedBass basically.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks! Organization helps a lot!

[@fishingtheeast4898]

Use the crazy Alberto knot or the fg knot is a lot better knot for braid to leader knot goes threw the guides better

[@AsianAnglingAddict]

Need to upgrade your spikes for your korkers. I found out the hard way

[@gennerobootz6490]

I love my trophy 2 it’s an awesome rod

[@castingwithliam4726]

How do u like your nylon waders, I bought the same ones yet to try them out yet

[@robg836]

Bug repellent video plz

[@GetReelBassFishing]

hahaha! MAYBE in an upcoming video...lol

[@airbornefishing4871]

Hey whats up. I use a fg knot to tie my leaders to braid and than tie a TA clip. TA clip is the best clip to leader to lure . Also 50lb is a lot, it won"t help with the rocks because the rock will cut it. Also when are you going to have a meet up. Best of luck and tight lines

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks bro! Maybe sometime in the Fall while the bass are stocked up haha, that would be fun! Stay Reel! #smoochandrelease

[@vogle11]

Good job you have it right. By the way Nice Truck..

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thank you, sir!

[@cars.fishing114]

Hows your saltx now?

[@dsavicki2380]

👍🏻👍🏻 Great video

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thank you!

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Briefly, the discipline is knowing the fish and when and what makes them bite. First, when it's nice, they don't bite like when it's about to rain, when the waters stir and splash. Next, when they wake up, they swim, move on out of their holes, so the fisherman has to see that they are hungry and need energy to get on out, to be ready just before the Sun rises because that's when they can find their way out and to feed. So what we like as humans is not what fish like most. They know the bait also moves with a change. So be alert, share the spot stories and then be disciplined. That's what will get you success and money in your pocket ( stripers are money fish, not bluefish). Back when if you had boots on, a flexible rod with 30 lb test and determination, you're ready.

[@mattplasse1984]

You should try the hex spikes on the korkers. The one you have are still a little slippery.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I'll look into them. Those are the bigger ones, right?

[@mattplasse1984]

@@GetReelBassFishing yes they are bigger. Not the hex plates but the hex studs. You will not slip one bit on black rocks. You can run on the wet rocks in those spikes.

[@FiskerOutdoorAdventures]

Good job bro!,

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks bro

[@Matt_732]

Sweet video. Which rod did you prefer the Trophy II or the Airwave?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

If I had to get a 10’ air wave or a 10’ trophy 2, it would be the trophy 2. I believe they’re build a lot tougher then the airwaves.

[@xlandscaper]

U need the straight studded soles man.. those hybrid rubber/studs suck

[@stevetautog880]

I wanted to respond to your request for Montauk lures bucktails has been the way to go forever,, go as light as you can,, so you can better "swim" the bucktail,,,, I know you like poppers because they do not get hung up ,, but if the fish are not willing to go for them you need to give buck tails a shot am i right or what?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks bro. Will definitely try lighter bucktails!

[@kurtstenger9110]

Just getting my fall arsenal together, so fare have diamond jigs, bucktails, swimbaits, sp minnows, needlefish, poppers. Anything else you use besides this? Maybe bombers?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Sounds like you've got it together Kurt!

Great video. Thanks. You forgot something important: Toilet Paper! Spring's coming.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Yessss

[@edwardegnor8812]

10’ leader to me is way to much I only use 36”-48” no more to costly I’ll only use 8’-10’ when off shore bottom fishing

[@patrickbrady8804]

Hi. Been watching and gonna take up surf casting in the spring of 2021 when I retire. I've noticed that most fishing supplies are low or gone because of covid. Can u tell me when the new season of supplies should b in tackle shops or on line if u can.

[@voxmansilungan9020]

Start stocking up supplies now, if you wait too long tackle shops start emptying out as the weather warms up. Visit your local tackle shop because they get stuff in all at different times.

[@patrickbrady8804]

@@voxmansilungan9020 thanks

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Yeah, that sounds fun! Start stocking up now. If you have an amazon account, I've linked everything in this video and more in the description of this video. Get what you can when you can afford it, from now until next Spring, and you should be able to have a very productive Spring Surf Fishing season. Also, local tackle shops should be stocked up with most anything..if not, just ask them when they're next shipment is coming in. But I think if you're going to wait until Spring, Amazon would be your best bet.

no gulp?! youre selling yourself short bro

[@GetReelBassFishing]

haha, no gulp :/ Gotta get me some of that!

[@charlenekociuba7396]

With all due respect, because you have invested a lot, you have just packed up too much! Spoons, diamond jigs and all colors tubes, some of the minnow type, that's it as far as artificial gear, we brought out clams and night crawlers mostly. We packed ice first thing to put fish in coolers. We kept tools in a box on the boat and some things like pliers were in the Captain's pocket. So my advice is to read, get to know how fish behavior and you'll catch. You just need less stuff and more knowledge.
