Using LIVE CROAKERS To Catch These AGGRESSIVE Beach Fish!

Spring and Summer are great months to target just about anything along the gulf coast but one of my favorite things to do this time of the year is chunking live croakers out along the beach for BIG Speckled Trout! They were fired up this day and honestly I could have thrown artificials the whole afternoon and did just as good but I had about a dozen croaker still in the live well so I figured id put them to good use!

I am a middle aged female who loves watching fishing videos and I love to fish. Unfortunately I did not have a father to teach me to fish so husband and I are having fun teaching ourselves. We enjoy watching your videos! Thank you!

[@edrobbins1146]

Another great video. I got started watching your videos while I was in the hospital for 3 months and I continued watching them while I was getting my strength up to go home a year later. It was the next best thing to going myself. Now that I’m back home and able to get in some fishing myself I am still a loyal fan. You sure helped me get through a dark place and I want to thank you for it

[@VernBigDaddy]

Continued Good Health and Tight Lines Mr. Robbins!

[@edrobbins1146]

@@VernBigDaddy Thank you very much. And the same thing for you. Tight lines and good health. And make sure to use tick spray. Encephalitis and Lyme disease and Alphagal from a tick bite just about ended everything.

[@CaptCollier]

That’s awesome! Glad I could help and that your getting better 🤙🏻

[@jaywright2035]

[@CaptCollier]

I’d just rather eat other fish like flounder or tripletail lol but your right, they arnt bad fried. thanks!

[@francisdeighan6040]

Yeet!! Love it!!

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

LETS GO FISHING!

[@KnotonCall-oi5ye]

What rod/reel combo and line are you using for the slick lure? I get a lot of bites just have trouble with getting a commitment. I use spinners as well

[@CaptCollier]

You’ll want a medium heavy fast action rod. That’s what I prefer anyways. Something with some good back bone but enough tip action to make that lure work like it should. Hope this helps!

[@captaj2845]

The bite has been really fun here on the gulf coast …. I tried to buy some croakers (short on time) and ended up catching 4 good 20”ers before the sharks showed up. Have you ever caught a shark on a slick lure ? I may swap when I’m getting sharked 🤣

[@CaptCollier]

Yea the sharks are definitely a problem. I have before but you definitely won’t hook as many throwing a slick that’s for sure

[@captaj2845]

@@CaptCollier I’m still trying to figure out this rhythm thing and what color on what days 🤣 it’s very confusing sometimes … still no fish on a slick 🙄 I know it’s me 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@kbeam531]

Great content yeet anotha one DJ Capt Collier 😂

[@carlreed9357]

When the specks are stacked up like that, it s a FUN at it's best !!! Great show.

[@raybrdjr]

man what an awesome video! what weight size are you using for the slicks? thanks!

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks! I almost always throw the 1/8oz owner beast hook. Great to throw in 2-8 ft of water

[@Brentmoran-wf9gn]

We catch em here in Mississippi on croakers on live shrimp on swim baits on hard baits , whatever they bite i use wether it’s live or artificial 😂

[@CaptCollier]

Same here brotha 😅

Gotta love em! And 28”. Every 26 and 27, can’t seem to break the 30

Epic! Love those surf trout!

[@CaptCollier]

Me too man. They’re always fired up!

[@royleeborn6445]

[@davidanderson1916]

Doesn’t matter WHAT you use-live or artificial fishing is fishing

[@CaptCollier]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@snizookslizayer5379]

I don't eat trout either brother. there's better tasting fish to catch and trout are so cool looking I let em all go. my biggest is 28 and a half inches. still hunting for that 30"er here in Tampa Bay.

[@dontrump9362]

That is your opinion…..I personally prefer speckle trout over any fish. Im glad you don’t like them….leaves more for me to catch. You will never catch me in Tampa bay! 🤮 I fish the Clearwater area and Louisiana. 👍🇺🇸

[@eugeneweeks3325]

PLEASE! Wet your hands before handling these breeders. These fish have a really high mortality rate after they are caught and released especially when the slime coat is taken away.

[@kbeam531]

Oh wow.

[@dontrump9362]

BS

[@andyjohnson675]

My man don’t ever think that is cheating because before artificial baits were invented that’s the way FISH was caught so if anything you’re just going back to the roots of fishing, not cheating tight lines and have fun

[@CaptCollier]

You’re definitely right. I’ll throw out whatever I have too to catch them fish. Whether it’s real or fake 😂

[@donkzilla73]

Pm me for a trip this early week if available

[@CaptCollier]

Unfortunately I don’t have any available dates until July. You can check out my calendar on my booking site. The link is in the description of this video

Would like to get a charter for 3 4 people how can I get in touch with you

Awesome. You can check out my booking site(fishing chaos) in the description link below this video
