This rig catches so many fish! Dead Shrimp vs Live Shrimp

[@emmhan6748]

what a beautiful morning.. it's good that you can easily find/buy a live shrimp. here in my town its so hard to find and if I find definitely expensive. your right sometime you end up and go home without nothing but that's the life.. A TRUE ANGLER NEVER GIVE UP. take care have a nice day and god bless bords.

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you! shrimp are definitely harder to come by in some areas but in florida shrimp are the ticket. What do you use for bait in your area?

[@emmhan6748]

@@HeySkipper wow.. I didn't expect that your going to ask me or where having a conversation even a small chat. I really appreciate it and thank you. I used dead shrimp and removed the shell/skin that's what local anglers do also.

[@debuadventures4575]

Thats crazy how you loaded the boat in the back of the truck! Nice!🤙🏽

[@HeySkipper]

I love that about the truck!

[@josevillalobos2505]

Nice day of fishing. I liked that intro music for the morning 👍👍

[@nicholascox2139]

in that type of water u need to be wade fishing, early around 5 when its high tide, using 6 pd test on a 7 ft rig, bait caster and a hook and a croaker thats it! ulimit out before 12

[@johnc6228]

Fish have color vision and I've used shrimp partly cooked to give pink color. I save the raw shrimp legs to use on Sabiki rig hooks. The thin shell covering on the legs also helps them stay on the hook better.

[@love2fishlive2fish54]

I have had good fishing with velveeta cheese for bait. Like the kind you use for nachos. Those trout hit that like crazy 😅 no one else was catching fish except for me and my little brother

[@HeySkipper]

I might have to try this lol

[@cesar-hs1xe]

Works good on freshwater or saltwater

[@JesusPaidItAll]

@@HeySkipper That would be a good video 😄 👍

[@frankiev-tech4630]

🤣🤣🤣 if you hear the music starting @ 00:31 reminds me of Alanis Morrisette "one hand in my pocket!" I did a sing along on my way home! Awesome catches guys...you guys need to head back to Sebastian Inlet and get some beasts. The weather is going to be amazing the rest of the week. A tip on shrimp thats very effective...break off the tail on live or dead shrimp...use a #1 J hook or 1/0 circle hook...and you'll see if you place the hook like if you were to use a texas worm rig setup just behind it's back it will become a weedless setup plus it lasts longer. These were tips coming from Keywest boat captains. Works amazing! I've caught massive fish using that style and your hook up ratio will improve.

[@jakobduron1030]

Good video guys and I like to use a combo of both flout and bottom and same for live and dead bait

[@motorhead1818]

[@alohadiver1979]

Turned out to be a great vid Can you do one where you go out on a charter fishing boat.

[@HeySkipper]

Yes sure!

[@gregm8941]

Speckled trout usually run in schools of similar size. If you're catching a lot of small ones you probably won't catch big ones at the same spot. In the past people used to fish on the bottom with dead shrimp and still caught speckled trout. But you also caught a lot of catfish.

[@HeySkipper]

True!

[@Hazyone10]

The cinematography is sick!

[@The_Judge300]

Great video again. I would say catching a lot of small ones doesn't tell much about how well a rig works or a bait works. I do like both using the same type of float rig and also other types of float rigs when fishing with boat dead and live bait. I also like bottom fishing, but then I most of the time like to use dead bait. The method I by far prefer when using a live bait, is by using the live bait only. No float and no sinker. I use a rod for light cast weights and a thin braided line with a flurocarbon leader. What you consider light and thin, all depends on the live bait weight and the size of the fish you are after of course. This let the live bait act as natural as possible and it is extremely good at catching fish. Specially the bigger ones. I use this method no matter if it is in rivers for Brown Trout, in lakes for Pike, at shore for Sea Bass or pelagic fish in deep sea waters. I use it for any kinds of fish that wants to eat a nightcrawler, shrimp, crayfish, fish or whatever live bait is heavy and solid enough to cast.

[@JJMeats]

Hey Brandon...you sell your salted baits, the next time you go fishing with dead shrimp, you should salt them whole the night before. That should make them less mushy and able to stay on the hook better...and hey, there's a new product for you also...whole salted shrimp...just a thought , and good luck man, good vids too.

[@hvuu1628]

Hey Skipper! Hi Erin! Good to see you guys 2 days later! I've tried fishing with a floater rig on a few occasions. I have yet to catch anything. 🥺

[@hvuu1628]

it's how you bait your hook. don't really need to set hook if you bait it right. they will set hook themselves. setting the hooks will usually rip the hook out. half the time. the trick is to hold it steady and let the fish tighten up the line against you.

[@HeySkipper]

Lol that’s funny, what a coincidence

[@silverfish3868]

I live in FL and there is a little fishing spot where the tides are strong. When the water is low and flowing, the fish bite better on a float with an live shrimp, and when the tide is high or slack a bottom rig with a dead shrimp works best. And there are times when it doesn't matter the tides or what you do, nothing bites. Thanks for sharing! Love your content!

Lovely video, I prefer bottom fishing and for sure live shrimp as bait. My question: Why do you keep throwing back the fish you catch into the water? The fish did not seem to be that small.
