Nice day! I liked that you detailed the whole rod reel combo. I'm going to change my lines to what you mentioned. Thanks!

[@BobAquatic]

Cheers Jahmall. I'll try and detail the setup in future videos

your videos have helped me a lot im in NJ and just starting to fish saltwater thanks bro

[@BobAquatic]

@@_shmunk6816 NJ is pretty similar to NY fishing, that is great to hear your getting out. The season is in full swing. Enjoy it and thank you for watching

[@_shmunk6816]

@@BobAquaticyes they’re very similar i’ve been trying out bucktails and the ball jigheads with soft plastics like you’ve been doing and it’s going well so far

[@fishingwithbori]

Great video like always my brother.👍

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you Bori! Hope you are having a fun weekend and getting out to fish

@@fishingwithbori there you go! Smart to get it in with the moon phase, fishing has been pretty solid

[@Yappowfishn]

Your videos are awesome man! I am trying to learn and go out for saltwater fishing in NYC.

[@BobAquatic]

@@Yappowfishn thank you! I bet you’ll crush it. The river is sticky but can be fun once you figure it out

[@Yappowfishn]

@@BobAquatic Thanks for the message man! Any suggestion on where to start looking for bluefish?

[@BobAquatic]

@@Yappowfishn I don’t give out spots on a public forum. Just go fish whatever’s close to home, the blues are everywhere

[@AOMilvado]

Great video!!! This is a public area or not really?

[@georgeniebergall7074]

I know you always follow comments, which I love about you. I’d like to give a little tip. Try this a very thin piece of copper wire put through your plastic jig to attach your flutter spoon blade so it does never get lost. The copper wire is very very light and easy to tread through which can easily be attached to your jig head as well. What do you think?

[@BobAquatic]

That's a cool idea George. I like any idea that saves lures from getting lost. Thank you for watching

What jetty is this

[@vsonic86]

Is this the new Bucktail by andrust caster ?

[@BobAquatic]

Yea, they still catch though

[@vsonic86]

@@BobAquatic even with the synthetic hair? And how do you fish this thing? Crank, crank, and jerk? Or one crank then wait?

[@BobAquatic]

@@vsonic86 you can swim bucktails, bounce bottom, skim the top, troll. It’s the most versatile lure to ever be made

[@vsonic86]

@@BobAquatic even swim Bucktail too? Straight retrieve ?

[@BobAquatic]

@@vsonic86 yes that works too

[@JDFishing95]
