Hey man, I just wanna say thanks for all the videos. Like. All of them. From your gear that you use, to how to tie rigs. I've been using your tknot rigs and KILLIN' it on the NC coast with em. Nobody around me is catching fish except for me!! I throw 3 ft rods and I am learning to cast a 13 ft conventional for 8 and bait. Seriously man. I've learned a TON from you. Those double tknot rigs that you and your dad did a video on absolutely slaaaay! Everyone asks where I got them and it feels good to say, I made em and I learned how to tie em from HeySkipper on KZbin!! Bluefish, flounder just about everything hits on em. Thanks again man. I also wouldn't be able to cast these big surf rods if I hadn't watched your videos!!

[@zorvakpower8533]

I'm from texas there are 3 types of kingfish all can be called whiting, northern, southern and gulf. Croakers actually make a cool croaking sound usually also. That looks like a southern one has the background stripe pastern. Squid will catch catfish, sharks and sometimes a drum mostly catfish though. If you want more fish like whiting rig with a small/er mutu light circle hook 1 or smaller(it can be tiny even like size 8 or 10 and use tiny pieces of fish bites. This works really good for taking kids fishing as the fish bites stay on and they will catch tons of fish. also good for catching some bait fish. Up the hook size for more eater size fish can do piece of fishbite with your shrimp or clams baits also would be good.

[@BlueLines50]

That’s true catfish love that squid

[@rachelgonzales2345]

Welcome to Texas! Sending love from the deep south in the RGV. So glad to have you at our beaches and I absolutely love you content! If your near drop by South Padre Island, we'd love to have you. You can bay fish or surfish. Much love Skipp! Also, fresh dead shrimp or live, work really well on the surf.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

great to see u hit the beach action again always awesome to see you land those redfish! they look so fun to catch from the beach

[@motmot0510]

Everytime I watch your videos, I learn new things for fishing. Thanks for sharing bro, much love from Philippines.

[@Dynamoe1836]

Looks like Matagorda! Man so cool watching you fish our beaches!!! Keep up the good work!! Water can get nice at times down here right now it’s just very churned up. Cool video!!!

@DynaMoe miss you bro lol! #Hammer

[@user-rh5tf4nz9g]

Love how much fun Y'all Have!! Very entertaining!!!

[@tomsonsel4873]

Living and loving Texas as I do. Hint for beach driving. 4X4 a must. Drive on the wet sand next to the surf. Stay off of the dry sand. You will get stuck in the dry sand !!!!! For Ronald K. below. Love Port A. Every kind of fishing you want to do.

[@HeySkipper]

Great tips! Lovin texas, never felt more proud to be an American!

The further south you go on the Texas gulf coast the clearer it becomes. Still has its brown days a lot but blue/green water days happen often too

John, I'm in Puerto Rico and I haven't had much luck fishing in the north from Levittown to Dorado. I hope you can give me some tips on where to fish.

[@hayjud4062]

@@HeySkipper That would be nice, although I've never fished in the Island, only in Florida, Sebastian Inlet being my favorite spot. I'm subscribed to your channel for a few years and have learned a few things from you, like salting my bait 😁 Thanks for your videos, tips and tricks. Have you two tied the knot already? 😍 Keep those lines tight and keep us entertained Skipper 🙌🏻🌈🌞🎣🐟🎏🙋🏻‍♀️

I never knew there are salt water catfish. I would've kept all those catfish and braised them in a clay pot Vietnamese style. Sooo delicious!!!

[@GrimmReapa]

Don’t reply to the scam that’s not Hey Skipper. It’s scammer wanting you to send money for shipping.

[@mikeytello2878]

The catfish in Texas are edible but you have to be careful Because they can make you sick. They have a slime on their skin that’s toxic

[@anthonygisi9824]

lol you would probably only do that once....hardheads dont taste very good..gaft topsails are better

[@BlueLines50]

Oh ya there’s lots of catfish in saltwater not as good tasting as fresh water catfish

[@federicoalcala9566]

Everybody seems to hate catching salt water catfish because the apparently don't taste very good.

[@Grapes2WineFurniture]

Great video!! That may be a California Corbina.

[@Thrift_Fein]

love how he left the cat fish on the hook for a good while lol😂😂 but great vid gotta love Texas

[@HeySkipper]

lol didn’t mean to

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

I was cracking up at that to!

[@justincolla572]

Welcome to Texas, lol hard heads are plenty. Try blue crab claws or fish bites for reds and black drum. Love watching your videos. Your Texas fishing license should allow you to keep 1 over sized red with a tag

[@JTL93Mopar]

I was thinking the same thing mine does an I usually buy an extra tag or 2

[@kassidydieter]

Uncle moncrief putting in that WERK 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wbwills2]

Channel is doing really well. Congratulations. Been with y’all from way back but it’s been a while. Left you a message on one of your shorts. Earlier. Glad to see you back in the algorithm. Oh. The cats. Was 4-5 with my father in hatteras .73-74 ish. Was different back then. We rented a room over a little bait shop. A last minute thing. I remember sneaking a bucket of small catfish in & putting them in the rusty old bath tub .while I was bathing. Dad wasn’t to happy with it but he had to get a laugh eventually. They went back in the bucket & the ocean. Lived. One of my earliest memories. Same weather y’all were fishing too. Y’all enjoy.

thank you senior for the feedback recommendation,,,,, I like your channel 😊😊 greetings from me (Indonesia)

You should check out PINS down near Corpus Christi! The water is much nicer, not brown at all, and you can drive on the beach until you're all alone for miles.

[@imtiazsheik6280]

Hi skipper thanks again for your update good 👋 👍 fishing 🎣 ❤

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you!

[@ronjaime3493]

I'm from Corpus Christi Tx and I've always wondered how you would do fishing down here with the way you fish. If your in this area you have to fish the P.I.N.S. if your fishing the beach look for washouts in the sandbars to fish and live mullet is king for bait here. The driving portion has me messed up when you said head further down South for clearer water and by the video footage your driving North.

[@jameshill1537]

Great video…looking forward to using your floats from a recent order! Happy Wedding!!!

Sand is always stirred up in the gulf of Texas, sometimes it'll clear up a little bit mainly a brownish color 🤗🤗

[@darkgreen9098]

Nice day on the surf!

[@James-qt9dj]

red fish in the surf - its a right of passage here in TX! Dude, they are killing it on 91st street pier in Galveston........ lots of bull reds, need to get out further.

[@sw33tmadn3ss7]

Rule of thumb that I always used was, if the first fish I catch is a catfish I move spots. But then again I haven’t fished the gulf in over 5years, and I live in Austin TX. 😭😭😭

[@generalmudcrab1674]

Dude you have no idea how glad I am that your in TX!

[@HeySkipper]

It’s amazing here bro!

[@ivanzamudio8496]

Glad you made it down here to Tx beaches. If you going to be down here for a while you should check out Galveston fishing pier(91st pier). Fish On!

Dude That was Awesome !!! ✌💪🎣

[@Newyen6MT]

I can’t wait until it’s warm in Massachusetts to go fishing!

[@texoutlaw1732]

The upper Texas coast is quire often dirty, only a nice southeast breeze brings us nice water. The further south you head the chances of finding nice water clarity exists.

That’s true Mr. Garza but lots of people still get confused with Padre Island “corpus” and South Padre Island

Yeah, I live in Brownsville. Go to spi several times a week!

In the mid 90's I was working on a headboat in eastern NC I was bitten by a 4ft black tip shark on my left calf I was lucky it did not bite me very hard if it had the bite could have been very bad. Nice Red in NC we have to use only circle hooks when fishing for red fish I use them for everything now.
