Surf fishing with a bag of dead shrimp: Things got UGLY Fast (S7 E80)

[@Reel_em_all_fishing]

My kids always ask for the mac&cheese too lol I love fishing from the surf. Last year my 5 year old caught a whiting about 18” long and maybe 4lbs at Surfside beach, in like knee deep water. Caught him on a kids zebco 3ft rod with only fish bites. It was awesome.

i just got back into fishing after battling the back to civ life depression. you always cheer me up. Semper Fi

Thank you for your service.

[@centxprepper]

Imo whiting and croakers are great eating when cooked properly, particularly for fish Tacos. I liked the straps fried in seasoned cornmeal. We lived on them during college!...great video!...buck

[@junesecrist6719]

Wade out a little too far into cloudy, rough surf to fish and tie the stringer of fish to belt loop, then run backwards and yell when the bullshark eats the fish off the stringer! I saw that a few years back on Padre Island.

[@DIAPERJOE]

Be very careful in the surf. I walked along sand bars and through troughs and was getting great bits and a few fish I ended up getting lured into chest deep water and a wave knocked me off of a sandbar and I couldn’t get back to it. Threw my pole and swam without results, luckily I was with a few other people and they made a chain with the rods and pulled me back onto the bar. I was exhausted but wanted to get back to the beach so I tried to follow the winding bar and went into another deep pocket. Obviously I survived but I just want to warn people that the bite will lure you and the water will kill you.

[@crawdaddct]

@@DIAPERJOE As a kid the whole family would go out seining. We had a 100 foot net. My dad was always the tallest so they would put him on the deep end. This was in the 70’s. Several times he would step into a hole and they would have to pull him back onto the bar with the net. He just never let go. 😂. Only time I ever saw him let go and swim for it was when he said something big came around the end of the net and brushed against him. He said it had to be at least 10 foot long. It just kept going and going. 😂. Man they use to catch a lot of fish that way. Looking back I see why it’s illegal now.

[@richardstade4546]

I was chasing some trout at Surfside. I never go over knee deep and I always wear a lifejacket. EXCEPT this time. The trout lured me out to the second sandbar and I wasn't watching the waves. Got knocked down and got caught in a rip tide. I fought the waves for what seemed like forever. I eventually threw the rod down and swam parallel to the beach to get out of it. I lost my hearing aids too. I fish by myself and this wore me out. I haven't forgotten my lifejacket since.

[@rolandomaya3352]

Swear the 2020’s Bob Ross of fishing 🎣, even with the previous military experience. Your videos always decompress me after work

[@65MK]

Mustard is used a lot for BBQ smoking. It’s a great binder to keep the seasoning on the meat, and you don’t taste it when it’s cooked.

[@rammannawar1626]

When your Wade fishing and you go into a deeper pocket of water, I call it a trough then you go up on a sandbar and then another trough. Those deep areas are long that I call a trough just like a watering trough for horses. if you wade out there in the water watch where the water is breaking in waves, those are your sandbars. You will have to go through troughs to get to it and if you’re carrying bait, keep it out of the water and those troughs those deep waterways are prime places for sharks and other big fish.

[@joshrebel00]

These winds along the Texas coast needs to calm down.

[@roymyers8575]

Good luck

[@gstoney0505]

If you want to catch whiting on dead shrimp, just put a ball of peeled shrimp on your hook. Cast close to the beach with the surf the way it is. You’ll clean them up in no time.

[@Harley_Dude]

I hope you are out fishing today getting some content. Watching this from the truck of the bed at Exit 1C puppy drums are biting here.

[@coastaltexasangler5781]

I was out there on Wednesday at the surf. Was a tough day for me. Only a whiting hand hardhead. The weather got horrible very quickly and winds picked up to about 40mph, forcing me to leave.

[@houabner]

[@OVTraveller]

In Australia, fishermen standing knee deep or deeper have a plastic, bumbag with their bait around their waist and save themselves endless walking back to rebait.

[@MDLRFishing]

Definitely the way to do it 👍

[@lesliehorwinkle]

Wow. I was on Boliver watching the line come in. Been years since I was on beach for a front. Love it.

[@MDLRFishing]

Looks amazing and then the sand had to ruin our eyes 👀 😂

[@christinerogers5331]

Tasty looking video, Mark, all in all a nice catch and cook!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thank you 🙏

[@MissyDiharce]

We used to put our dead shrimp in a mayo jar tie a string around it, and then to our waist. Let it float behind us for quick rebating.

[@MDLRFishing]

Very smart 👍

[@brucebroussard1809]

Oooee,love catching and eating whiting. Like you said,they can get a lot bigger,but overall a good tasting fish.

[@mond000]

Put the bag of dead shrimp in your pocket while wade fishing out there for some up close shark encounters. 🙂

[@billberry3699]

I threw a hand full in my pocket out on san Louis pass, not even thinking till I was waist deep. Yeah I got the hell out of there

[@edwinvalle-yh1hk]

I fish with bait on my hip. Stomach deep

[@ChachoGSX]

I was out there Wednesday. Started off strong with a blacktip, then it was hardhead city, then ended it with another blacktip.

Show us the stinging fish so that we know what to look out for. Is it in their fins,like a cat fish?

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes, watch out for them.

[@chrishebert3240]

I was looking in your description on what you was using and I’ve never heard of a mosquito hook and I didn’t see in description below. I was where you had the rod and real and the line.

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s a little further down the description 👍

[@bubbleone6526]

Watching all these surf fishing videos I caught the itch. I’m from Washington St know of anything good to fish for here. I’ve done lots of salmon steelhead and trout but never tried surf.

[@jessejames8843]

Probably end up catching a whale up there man, that’s my home State… I need to make it up there one of these days

[@JoseBaez192]

“Babe this looks ghetto “😂 you funny bro

[@israelm9928]

😂😂

[@hankakah4180]

If you use the whole shrimp, you make it easier for the fish to take the shrimp off the hook by tugging at it. You need to have just enough shrimp to cover the hook, so they take the hook. You could have easily caught fish with just 1/8th of the shrimp you bought.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thank you for the advice. I’ll try this next time.

[@todddreher1220]

If I could I would Like to post a picture on here of a whiting that I caught. I got one that was almost completely 3 lb. It was 2 3/8 lbs. I'm here in Texas and I said Galveston area Freeport San Luis pass and all around here. And they really are very good eating.

[@randyadams7269]

Happy Father’s Day! Whiting looks great.

[@hulihulichicken]

That's FUN Fishing and less Mercury in those smaller fishes but just as Tasty as their Big Brothers, My Mother liked the smaller fish much more and asked for me to catch them for Her❤🙏 Love You Mom

[@crawdaddct]

Croaker and whiting are good eating if fresh. Biggest speckled trout I ever caught though, 29 inches, was on croaker. Take that small croaker, fillet it, and scale, so one side is shiny. Trout love it.

[@MDLRFishing]

I can’t even imagine catching a trout that big. 🙌

[@crawdaddct]

@@MDLRFishing It was in the 80’s, I was like 16 years old. Down in Louisiana, surf fishing. Threw out my line and walked a little ways down the beach to throw a cast net. I saw a big trout come out of the water, then saw my pole bent over. 😂. Ran over and reeled that big girl in. Ran all the way back home to Granny’s with that fish. People living around there didn’t believe me when I said I caught it in the surf. Granny had a picture of me holding it on her wall for years. Lost the photo when Hurricane Rita destroyed her home. It been all down hill since. 😂.

[@moblack5883]

Like the change up. Mark next time you go can you thrown small lures to see if you can catch a whiting on one.

[@MDLRFishing]

I’ll keep this in mind.

[@richzarate9700]

[@ipleedafif8033]

You should make an adapter for those pvc rod holders to hold your bait.

[@MDLRFishing]

I’ve been meaning to buy some new pvc to extend them.

[@chrishebert3240]

I like fishing the surf and I was just wondering why you use a 8’ rod? I have a6’6” rod and I’m assuming that’s good enough other then my surf rod I have.

[@MDLRFishing]

I like pointing the rod tip to the sky so the surf isn’t always pounding my line.

[@mortsims]

in saltwater whitting are my favorite fish to catch and eat.
