How to Catch Redfish in the Surf, Jetty, Everywhere!

[@RTRFishing]

Watch this! This guy put me on my first bull red. I had been trying for 10 years, this was a game changer!!

[@BeachBomberFishing]

Glad I was able to give you a lil bit of help man!! That was all you!

[@walterm2871]

caught my first bull red this weekened 35 inches it put up a good fight

[@BeachBomberFishing]

Nice man!! Congrats! Hopefully you can catch a bigger one soon!

[@Everything-gt1sm]

Bad ass bro. I caught my first bull red as well last weekend. 32in red. Best fight I’ve had.

[@BeachBomberFishing]

Hell yeah brother! Congrats!

[@freedbychrist2611]

Caught my first Bull Red today, it was also 35 inches. Man it put up a fight, he was tugging me really hard.

[@RedScales_28]

41 inches last week

[@justinmartin8887]

I used to run 30-50 lb braid for reds and shark. I run 20 lb mono now. Cheaper, doesn’t snarl and doesn’t snap as easy on a head shake

[@BeachBomberFishing]

That's true, I just don't like how thick 20lb mono is. Biggest in mono I've used for bull red was 12lb.

[@justinmartin8887]

@@BeachBomberFishing it is. For us on the east coast though, especially the point on obx, casting distance is not quite as crucial. A lot of the nicer fish we caught are just 50 yards off shore

[@BeachBomberFishing]

@@justinmartin8887 NIce man! We have very shallow beacher here in texas, which is why we need a higher capacity. What reels are you using?

[@justinmartin8887]

@@BeachBomberFishing I’m using a penn fathom, brother in law is using penn squall. Our wives are using penn battle iii. None of these reels have quite the capacity we should have. Have been spooled a few times.

Thanks dude!!! Since learning those techniques over the past year or so, I’ve caught more bull reds and black drum than I could hope for.

Hopefully this video helps you land a big one over there!

[@JiggerzWithAttitude]

@@BeachBomberFishing Hey man, your videos are incredibly helpful for beginners like me. I do have one question about the Okuma Longitude rods though. They say they're rated for 3-8 oz but is that only for the sinker or do I have to keep the sinker and bait under 8oz?

[@xavierespinosa5574]

Awesome 😎 That was some crispy content and tips! I love using mullet and sand trout for my reds. I cut it up into 1in chunks and caught my PB 40in red on the 61st Street Pier

This is some elite knowledge, thanks Beach Bomber!! 🍻

[@robertrio632]

Great video. I'm a Florida guy but the same things apply to catching snook from the beach, a pier or a jetty. My dad had a custom surf fishing rod built back in the early '70's that lasted three decades but not many people making custom rods anymore. There are stores online that sell the parts to build your own but you are going to need a good vise that won't damage the blank and a tool for winding the thread on the guides and also the right adhesives, and if you want to make it look pretty the right varnish.

[@1ingigo2]

Good stuff!. Very useful information. All your vids are very informational. Goes to show that, with the exception of your latest $$$ reel purchase, one does not need expensive gear to be successful.

[@silenthero8468]

My 2 biggest out of the thousands I've caught were 47" last year and a 49 1/2" about 10 years ago. both caught and released. Me, my wife and kids tag out every year "6 bulls". But I only keep up to 32-33". Any bigger get released. Love your videos!! keep it up bud. TIGHT LINES!!

[@dave7278]

My fishing started with looking up videos on how to catch reds. My wife and daughter are newer to fishing and we have a week at Murrells Inlet, SC (1st week in October 2024). This is one of the best videos I've seen so far - real tips that appear to produce real results. We'll try to be good students and put what we've learned to the test this week. Our goal is simply to catch enough fish for a meal (and an unstated goal of having fun doing it). While I hear jetty's are great places to fish, I think we'll skip trying those this time. Do you recommend pier fishing for beginners like us - or maybe surf fishing over jetty fishing? Shrimp, mullet, and blue crab...what other bait would you recomment for Reds - Bull Reds? Are blood works any good for fishing in Murrells Inlet, SC? Thanks in advance for any tips and a very informative video.

Either way, the clasp has to be tied to a knot. The clasp itself can be a weak point, that makes 2 weak points. I never had a problem with just a knot to leader.
