This dude regularly demolishes the waters I grew up next to all my life now that I’ve picked up fishing might just be running into you one day good fishing man 🙏

[@BobAquatic]

Cheers G4, Hope to see you out there!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

You've got the fluke figured out. Nice to see that a chartreuse trailer works well in saltwater too. Any day of fishing is better than a ride at Disneyland for sure. Great video 😊

[@BobAquatic]

@@DwightPerkins-i7t hahah I love that Disney land reference. I agree. They seem to love the chartreuse. Hope your having a fun season Dwight

[@ethelcain-hailmother]

never thought of using an epoxy like this before, awesome!

[@BobAquatic]

@@ethelcain-hailmother that rig catches a lot of different species. Blues and bass love it too, just take the gulp off

[@NYC_THC]

Nice video bob , im always seeing you in Brooklyn fishing .. seen you while riding NYC ferry and yelled bob and you said hi was with my kids lol they was excited to know if was you cause they watch it video with me ..

[@BobAquatic]

The perspective from the pier was awesome when you said hey. Like a pirate ship rolling up telling me to hop aboard. I'll never forget that, appreciate you saying hey. Thank you for watching bud, hope to run into you soon

[@NYC_THC]

@@BobAquatic tell me about the views from the piers and NYC ferry is amazing. Appreciate you saying hey back made my kids day knowing you the person I watch all the time on KZbin .. wish we can fish together one day .. I remember I seen you on Pier 6 back when blackfish season was open it was super cold outside real fishing man lol keep it up brother video are fun to watch . Learn a lot of stuff from them ..

[@BobAquatic]

@@NYC_THC really appreciate you watching. I always tell my family that story and they loved it. Well fish together one day I bet, I’m always out with the rod cruising around.

[@ATREZ0123]

You are da man! I was out there before sunrise and was catching all Flukes. They were close in the shallows. Once the sun came out the Flukes moved back out of range of my 1/4oz jig and the Searobins moved into the shallows. I remembered seeing this video and switched to the Epoxy jig w gulp and BAM! Back on the Fluke! Thanks for that man

[@BobAquatic]

The single jig works great but you can cover a lot of ground with the epoxy. Especially if you gotta cast into the wind. Glad it worked out bud, cheers

[@mluc1111]

Throw me some of those Frisbee. Good eating 😋

[@BobAquatic]

@@mluc1111 fluke frisbee is an interesting concept sport for the next Olympics

[@sixxgunserenade]

a day without sea robins is a day without sunshine

[@BobAquatic]

I caught a ton of them and puffers. Just didn't wanna de-rail from the porgy/fluke theme of the video. Cheers Sixx

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Another instructive video for us NYC metro area anglers to enjoy!

[@BobAquatic]

@@MartinVSmith6334 thank you Martin, have fun out there!

[@moremut]

Hey Bob it’s got to be awesome fishing in NJ In that salt water.way better then Fresh Water

[@BobAquatic]

cheers moremut. Saltwater is a good time

[@novaday8813]

I'm in Virginia Beach and can't wait to try that epoxy/gulp combo. Never seen that before let alone anyone doing that down here for flounder. Definitely gonna try this week!

[@BobAquatic]

@@novaday8813 give it a try, that rig is really versatile. Caught a ton of different species on it. It’s nice to have the casting distance and cover more water vs. a jig head

[@MasterInvesting]

Gathered some sand fleas by Coney Island yesterday, used them today and caught some mega porgy - Can't wait to try them come blackfish season.

[@BobAquatic]

There you go!

[@AZ-NY]

Nice catch Bob. Good to see all the catch. Seemed like it was a lot of fun.

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you AZ! It was a good time

[@Matthew_80]

Went to tackle world today and got a few of the epoxy teaser jigs. Nice chartreuse big gulp and it’s a wrap

[@BobAquatic]

Have fun out there! That combo should work real well

[@Matthew_80]

@@BobAquatic thanks Bob. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@allseasonfishing4030]

bro bob is killing it out there, gonna try that rig soon 😁

[@BobAquatic]

Give it a try! It's easy to pull the gulp off and cast for blues when they show up. So you're ready for both. The forage baits mad small right now

[@allseasonfishing4030]

@@BobAquatic yeap . Thanks bro catch them up🎣

[@girlfinfishing]

Fun stuff 😎 🎣

[@BobAquatic]

@@girlfinfishing thank you

[@mrjohn71398]

That epoxy jig is money, been catching stripers and porgies on it. No fluke tho.

[@BobAquatic]

It is a very versatile lure, glad its working out for you too.

[@kurtbollers4262]

Hey Bob . What ferry stop is that?

[@breadthirty-2967]

I’m fishing in far rockaway I’m doing the same thing

[@BobAquatic]

Oh ya! Have fun out there, nows the time to get it in

[@rdh9155]

Bob i just ordered the same Gloomis GCX 844S and Penn Clash 4000 size reel Bro.

[@BobAquatic]

There you go! Have fun with that setup, your wrist will love you. Cheers rdh

[@moremut]

Hey Bob i just learn something from you you said lighter line and heavier lure weight did i get that right especially for me here in Michigan swimming freshwater that works when I use live bait and throw it out real far, but that would be perfect for artificial bait

[@BobAquatic]

@@moremut hey! Yes, I was struggling to get in the strike zone so I put on lighter line to get a further cast and cut the current from drifting my lure too quick. It worked out

[@junpingli2689]

Hi, Bob by estimate how far you cast the epoxy (7/8)? I always want to cast far as it covers wider range.

[@BobAquatic]

@@junpingli2689 I couldnt tell you exact distance but those things cut the wind like a diamond jig. They cast a mile, awesome lure

[@BKLYN1]

Enjoy your videos. How long do you wait to set the hook, you make it look so easy. Also, have you ever tried nightcrawlers in saltwater? Thanks and tight lines 🎣

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you for watching. I wait till the fish grabs the jig then set it immediately. You'll get the hang of it but takes trial and error. Most people set the hook too early learning. You gotta wait till you get that thump, pause, then set it. Similar to striped bass. Never tried nightcrawlers, I bet it'd kinda work but seems gimmicky. Rather use sand worms or something salty that is natural forage.

[@BKLYN1]

@@BobAquatic.. Sounds good, Thanks for the advice! 🎣

[@jonmarcosanchez4524]

Bob how do you avoid the life guards?

[@BobAquatic]

Stealth techniques and free ice cream tokens. They love ice cream. Cheers Jon!
