TINY Live Bait for Surf Fishing? SURPRISING Results! TRY THIS!

I am surf fishing this week with bottom fishing rigs to try and target some huge fish. I am fishing using a high low rig, a fish finder rig, and live mullet scavenged bait. I know these together usually work pretty well, so I can’t wait to see what we catch! Stay tuned for a catch n cook!
This week, I am at Cape Lookout with Erin, my dad, and my mom. We are relying on the ocean for any meat we are planning to eat, so I hope we can catch some good eating fish today. The last time I was here, we were catching all kinds of red drum, flounder, and bluefish! Let’s see what I can get today!

I’ve had one of the worst days of my life today… when I saw that you uploaded I actually had the first feeling of joy I’ve felt all day. Thank you.

I’m sorry bro. I’ve gone through some shitty days recently like past couple weeks.. been getting through watching videos like these.

I’m Japanese and very much used to eating sashimi. Your catch looked good for eating raw (including the clean waters as you say). But most convincing was everyone’s face when eating it. Congratulations!

Yes, us Japanese rely upon the ocean for much of our protein sources. However, we do NOT eat anything and everything raw from the ocean like he kept saying.

[@m.antoinette3410]

Truly love your videos. There are so many people on KZbin that I will start with but end up unsubscribing because they get on my nerves. Your boyish enthusiasm, the unwavering support from your family, and Erin just always makes me come back. If I’ve gone too long without watching one of your videos I slap myself. I would love to see you do some fly fishing in your future videos. Keep up the great work.

Hey Skipper..brilliant catch..excellent video guys..lovely family outing and a brilliant adventure..keep it rolling 👌

[@fishjunky1797]

Thank you for bringing us along. Hope to see you guys on the surf one of these day.

[@samuelzavala623]

that blood line is a really good bait for snapper, just tricky to get it on the hook. I use a couple of the tiny clear rubber bands that people use to braid their hair to hold the meat down to the hook and it works really well.

[@billyhodgson3647]

Love your attitude. Your inspiration is amazing. Thank you for the content.

Nice fishing trip another fun week with the skipper ty again for sharing ur skills with us. I agree live bait is the best most of the time love to use live bait see u next week

[@rey11able]

These lures are really a great value. The quality was very good and the price is very reasonable.

[@frankiev-tech4630]

Yeah my brotha! Man I totally agree with saltwater fish! I can't stand when people talk bad on certain fish...but it's all on preparation. People talk bad on blow fish (not the fugu fish from Japan)...but if you taste that...one of the best fish to eat. I'm not a fan of Jack Cravelle though...even bleeding them out! I love your camp setup...you give me ideas on my truck as well.

[@HeySkipper]

Thanks bro! It’s good to hear from you! How is fishing for you been?

[@frankiev-tech4630]

@@HeySkipper for me amazing! I live in Miami, but I bridge fish mostly in the mid to lower keys. And it's been phenomenal! Between me and two of my boys, we've been catching 80 to 100+ fish of different species...and quality fish. I'm not lying. It's insane. I wish you can see the pics. The secret is timing these cold fronts. But the best days for me have been the weather that people don't like...which is great...it means you have the bridge to yourself. Usually beautiful perfect clear sky days with good current are very slow at times.

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

I really love your fishing adventures! You are honestly one of the most down to earth fisherman that I know. I also camp and cook fresh catch of the day. We did bluefish of all fish like this but used citrus acid to lightly cook the filet chunks with other fruits / veggies. Great video nice family and hey Happy Belated Birthday my friend !

The New Zealand sea robins are called Gurnard. Can catch up to 50cm and more. Really good eating. Oh and their orange red colour.

[@ericglenn4644]

Another great fishing video with some really nice fish

[@hanna2nv]

We call those tuna mack tuna in australia they get to around 30lbs here and they are awesome to eat if u like eating fresh tuna make sure to cut the blood line out as thats the super fishy taste but the blood line is great bait

[@sirensofoahu1502]

You guys (and every other surf fishermen) should try mount a stainless steel bell (almost every fisherman uses one in Hawaii) on your rods to alert you of a strike instead of just watching the pole. Especially helpful when you're night fishing. Usually, we wrap a brass tube just above the first eye to hold the bell or guys over here also use the plastic "Bell Buddy" that clamps on the rod. Try watching a few videos of Ulua fishing, you'll see why the bells are helpful and are applicable for surf fishing on the mainland.

[@surfrookie1]

hey guys...the tuna you caught is called a SkippJack or Bonitto tuna .. verry fishy meat its like a red fishy stake.. some good meals can be made with it meat .. we in SA like toe make fishcakes with it.. or just fillet out the dark meat use that as bait.. and eat the clear meat Raw....keep up the good videos ..love Martin and Monique..

haha i've caught a big fish on a tiny anchovy before which was epic. but that was cool how u were able to land a tuna on live bait. haha so funny how ur mom was excited for that albie.

[@ytpython73]

Sea robin makes fine strip baits. Widely considered an annoying trash fish, but the bigger ones are actually quite tasty. But the lesson from this video is: match the hatch. Whatever bait the fish are there chasing is what you want to use. Good vid.

I've caught lots of false albacores but never tried eating them. My brother tried it and gave it his seal of approval.

Bonita is great....all from the top of the fish

[@TheD510addict]

I wish my wife was as enthusiastic about fishing.

[@ry1js]

Lol you got to make it fun for her. If she likes to drink, bring some drinks and say "if we don't catch fish we'll at least catch a buzz" That's how my female coworkers got into it from their boyfriends. Then the adrenaline of actually hooking a fish will bring them back 👌 so take her on a day you know the biting is good

[@johnstamos5579]

Nice video, Wasabi is kind of hot spicey if I remember correctly. Enjoy!!!

[@Mightiflier]

I’ve always been close minded about raw fish. But now I will try it next time I catch a salt water albacore out of the Gulf of Mexico!

[@JDski]

Even Bluefish can be tasty if you bleed them out and eliminate the dark oily parts. Sounds like you prepared it properly. Those fast strong swimmers are some of the most fun to catch.

[@HeySkipper]

They are like little torpedos!

Good job nice fish. Albacore tuna is that what it was? I didn't know that there was false albacore crazy. Yes I agree having a open mind is good. I hear some places have to freeze the meat from a fish first before eating it to avoid parasites. Is that true?
