Surf Fishing Padre Island - Awesome Wildlife!

Beach Fishing PINS - Padre island national seashore - Texas
I headed to the beach to do some fishing but find more than just fish. This portion of the beach hardly get much human activity and it really shows when you see how much more wildlife there is here than where the beach is beat down by the hoomans.
You can really see the food chain as the coquina mollusks are at the bottom and the crabs (blue, speckled and ghost) and also whiting all come to feast on them as the come out of the sand. Then hopefully the crustaceans and whiting attract the attract the bigger predator fish.
One of the best parts of surf fishing is to be on the beach and be around all this cool nature.
Oh and sharks. Sharks a cool too.

[@EllaFarrellStarr]

Yes it’s an Atlantic sharpnose you can tell by the pale white spots on its skin and the almost flat pointy nose

[@sickdollgamer683]

[@JavierBonillaC]

That is one cool video. What camera do you use if you don't mind?

[@aaronburchett6297]

So I have question for all people in the comments and you to so I don’t live at the beach and love to do beach fishing so when you set us with your rod holders I know you can’t start it off in the water but if the tide comes up to your rod holder do you have to move back or just leave it there? Pls respond

[@pocket1636]

i wish i could park on the beach like that.

[@davecassady7468]

PB seaweed.

[@williamred1]

awesome videos, what it's that tune at the end of this video? where is it from

[@j.r.fuller6704]

Did you take Park Rd 22 as far south as it goes? If so, how far were you able to continue on the beach heading south? Cool video.

[@ThresherFishing]

I went about 3 miles down the beach in the national park.

[@SolorideryR6CX650C]

1:25 hey can you make a videon on how to take your kayak on that car? because i didn't think you could but u did it can you show how you did it?

[@yakinsc9082]

I've been catching lots of baby whiting lately as well. Great live bait size, but I'm normally looking for cut bait.

[@ThresherFishing]

There're usually bigger ones out a bit deeper.

[@erickg3508]

is this near port mansfield north of spi or south corpus christi?

[@ThresherFishing]

Only a few miles down.

[@teamsharkjunkies2916]

What beaches do you fish brother?

[@rayminazzi2065]

what size kayak do you recommend for getting bait out?

[@jamesson4682]

Hi, which fishing combo used (reel and rod)?

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

Which one?

[@jeffbrown47]

Is that a Penn Spinfisher v reel? If so how you like it? Just bought one but haven't had the chance to use it.

[@ThresherFishing]

+Dope Saks It's actually an old penn slammer I salvaged from my dad's garage but I'd like to get a Spinfisher V.

[@fordo6271]

Nice video, what were you using there to catch the bait?

[@ThresherFishing]

+Ford O Shrimp flavor Fish Bites

[@ItsSwayy210]

nice video but i have a question so my girlfriend likes going to the beach and i've never had any success surf fishing what's the best bait to use or what kind of setup is needed to catch a fairly sized shark?

[@ThresherFishing]

It's somewhat rare to catch any sharks over 4ft around here if you're casting. Best to kayak out baits if you're looking for 6'+

[@fishingwithdylan2799]

ThresherFishing the crabs were legal they are calico crabs I use them all the time

[@fishingwithdylan2799]

ThresherFishing the first crab was a calico crab

[@colsonhoneycutt1768]

If your fishing in nc the crabs have to be 5 inches from claw to claw to keep

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

He's fishing in Texas

[@jasonhaines3349]

How far down do you go? I've been going to the 5 mile mark and not having very good luck.

[@user-qb7pm4he6f]

DankDadFishing.

[@p8tron2society33]

Do you use shock leaders on any/all of your poles for surf casting? What do you recommend?

[@ThresherFishing]

Yeah I use a shock leader if I'm throwing 4+ oz lead. I usually go with 40lb mono.

[@p8tron2society33]

Right on. What knot do you like to use for tying the leader material on? Ever used the Yucatan knot? It's strong and runs through the eyes/guides smoothly. Thoughts?

[@aureliomartineziii3941]

Laguna Madre South Padre Island Texas

[@fishingwithjacobg.1201]

what do you use to film

[@normanwatts7181]

fuckin love your car

[@nirknass]

what flavor fishbites were you using to catch the whiting?

[@ThresherFishing]

Shrimp has always worked best for me.

[@deanfulford69]

Calico crabs are damn good eating their way better blue crab

[@legs5318]

Dean Fulford no way. If your from Maryland you know

[@deanfulford69]

Jack Prestandrea I'm a commercial fisherman from North Carolina and yeah I do know

[@legs5318]

[@bigsleepy9889]

[@ThresherFishing]

Speckled swimming crab actually.

[@donaldtrumphater.blacklive8754]

[@Desisama-uc4ci]

Porcelin crab? :3

[@ThresherFishing]

+Dcorbi Dr. Cook wouldn't be pleased.

[@steveng.c.8524]

Dude, are you reading the surf? Or are you just blind ghosting 😂?

[@PokeHunter-jz1hw]

Wait that's not croaker it looks exactly like it

[@ThresherFishing]

Same family.

[@PokeHunter-jz1hw]

Okay sorry to bother you

[@aarongray2559]

What lb test line would you suggest for surf fishing for reds, trout, and jack crevalle? I have never been surf fishing, but picked up some surf rods for when I go to SPI. I planned on using 30# braid with a 20 foot leader of 60# mono connected with the FG knot. I was told that was a bad idea and that I need 30# mono as a main line or the abrasion from the 2nd bar would ruin my line. What are your suggestions?

[@MrRedskins0021]

You need to get yourself a truck or a Subaru if you like going to the beach with a kayak.

[@cherokeejack7757]

G

[@spencer5438]

croker not whiteing

[@ThresherFishing]

Nah those are 100% whiting not Croaker.

[@kaity4667]
