We Tried Using LIVE CRAWFISH To Catch These Tasty Saltwater Fish

[@BamaBeachBum]

That was really such an entertaining vid! You and Tanner do a great job together. Keep crushing it!

[@CaptCollier]

Man thanks! Really great to hear that from a pro, let me know when you want to get up and get some rods bent

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

@@CaptCollier Dont go under that Dock . If its near a Ship Channell , It could create a Undetow like a Washing Machine under there. When a Ship passes nearby.

My brother won the sheepshead category 3 times in the 80's he would climb under the old ammunition dump pier with 50# hand line. Using seawall roaches.

[@CaptCollier]

Well that sounds like an experience there! Seawall roaches sounds interesting.

The old ammo dump at Theodore industrial canal?

@Capt.Collier yeah they work good, it's just hard to catch those little bastards. My brother made a trap for them out of a cricket basket

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

I remember those little creatures yes they was fast hard to catch but the fish love them

[@majorrhodes2870]

Awesome video capt. im lovin your channel more and more, you had me laughing on this one.🤣 Yes go get em under that dock 👍👍

[@CaptCollier]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate it, we’ll give a try soon

[@palmettostatericecompanyll1007]

Oh yeah! Crawfish work good! Buddy of mine won the sheepshead tournament with them! He would borrow my pyramid traps every year about 2 weeks beforehand to get stocked up on bait.

[@micah5740]

These guys are SO much fun to watch!! I look forward to every video!! Keep it up please!!!

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks man, Really great here. We definitely will

[@mritolduso7355]

Yeah Branden, that is an excellent technique! For breaking a rod that is!! Another fun trip, keep ‘em coming!

Haha yea no kidding!

All the “nooooooo” and “dangit” is my favorite part

[@richardmotley4778]

Awesome video thank you for the content.. It looked like from watching all your videos that you were excited and setting the hook a little bit harder then usual but then toward the middle and end it looks like you got back in rhythm with your hook set.. I watch all the videos and love it so y'all could catch mullet all video and I would still tune in.

Good one brother! I was catching convicts over there last Friday myself! Looking forward to the canoe video!

Thanks capt. They sure are stacked up over there that's for sure

[@8-bitco-op897]

LOL THAT HOOKSET THOUGHT!!!!( even thought it broke off) Have had many days like that where the fish just dont want to stay on. Love me some sheepshead fishing. Never thought to use mudbugs for some sheepshead. Man that looked like it was so much fun. Excellent Video Capt as usual.

[@chicken6946]

Great job guys.thats what fishing is all aboht,trying new stuff.i wouldn't throw my sheepshead back because thats the only fish i eat lol.keep up the good work

[@adriandang7628]

I use freshwater crawfish for everything in Michigan, and it works very well. Freshwater fish bite on them very well. I am not surprised that sheepheads like them.

[@CaptCollier]

Thats awesome. I’d bet some largemouth and smallmouth bass would tear them up!

[@jearredbryan4472]

Damnit Collier another awesome video who else would think too use crawfish for sheepshead keep up the good work you'll be at 100,000 before you know it.

[@CaptCollier]

Haha thanks man, I honestly thought they'd work better but shoot they still caught fish. and I sure hope so!

[@FishBumpTV]

Well, You just answered that question! Have been talking about trying crawfish for sheep. Very interesting! looks like it works. Good to know!

[@CaptCollier]

Yea man, I’ve always wondered myself and finally found the time to try them. I’d bet they would wreck them spawning sheep offshore

[@FishBumpTV]

@@CaptCollier I bet you are right, would be interesting to find out. It will be time before you know it!

[@blaphtome9382]

If you're out to absolutely pack the cooler with sheepshead treble hooks are the key. Gamakatsu #2 with a shrimp wrapped around it and pierced in 3 places; you will hook up with damn near every bait. It's not very sporting but if your out to fry some fish that's how you smoke em.

[@shanegilchrist1441]

Yes sir, love to see you guys in the canoe. I heard you missed a few. Water looked real muddy. Yeah may be a pole breaker under there.

[@tdeas608]

Love you dad

[@CaptCollier]

Yessir, I had a tough go at it, but I like to boost tanner's confidence every now and then and let him catch fish

[@tdeas608]

This was a good one. Sounds like y’all want some canoe action in the structure, I’ll charge up the batteries this weekend

[@CaptCollier]

Oh they definitely want some canoe action

[@BigLou5150]

I've caught plenty of Tautog and Black sea bass with crawfish,I actually won the pool on a headboat out of New Jersey back in the 90's using them..still use em all the time

Good stuff fellas. I love how Tanner is pro Capt Collier. Great fishing buddy. I gotta make my way over there and link up with you guys…Dan

[@LowCountryFishing]

I’ll DM you in IG about details.

[@1baydawg]

Funny you did this. I am a Florida boy living in Missouri and just ordered a couple of vudu shrimp to try in the fresh water for trout and small mouth

[@CaptCollier]

Oh I bet them trout will smash a Vudu!

[@jeffarcher400]

A whole new world opening up. Nightcrawlers,Salmon eggs, Zeke's floating cheese, catfish blood meal,grubs, grasshoppers maybe even the mouse fly under the docks. Reminds me when my brother busted out a heavy saltwater rod at a trout lake and hucked a large iron way out there. All the old timers were laughing until... third cast a giant fish boiled on the lure. That silenced the peanut gallery. So far out in the morning mist we couldn't see what it was. Could've been the Loch Ness Monster. Everyone tied on their biggest lure and began casting with all their might but we never saw it again.

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

Nice video nice catches how many can you keep per person the area y'all fishing?

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks! And Legally we could have kept 15 sheepshead a person. So 30 fish, which is little excessive in my opinion.

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

[@tombrown7577]

You guys look like y'all are having too much fun! I'm sure you would be a fun guy to fish with and that is important to me. It's not all about catching fish, although that does help. It's about getting out and just having good clean fun! Great video!

[@dericksloan6581]

I took 250 fresh caught crawfish to the coast with me about 10 years ago, kept them alive in a large bait box we made out of a large cheap cooler and never caught anything. Never even got a bite, lol. Finally dumped them out and kept with traditional baits. Wasn't fishing from a boat and didn't know anything about sheepshead fishing at the time. Fishing Port Aransas, Texas. My preferred fishing / vacation spot each year.

[@CaptCollier]

Well that sucks y’all didn’t catch any fish on them! Try some live shrimp next time lol

[@michaelshintani4496]

Awesome content!!! You guys have the best attitudes and looks like so much fun!

[@chrishoda4287]

I’m from the Mississippi gulf coast and I use to use crawfish for bait when I was living down there. I’m living in the Tennessee mountains now. I miss the coast so much which I still call home. You need to try in bay saint louis in the marsh areas which are loaded with redfish and specks. I love your videos man keep on keeping on.

[@CaptCollier]

That’s cool to hear. Bay saint louis is a pretty good drive for me, maybe one day. It does sound fun. Thanks for watching and will do

[@pathua7692]

Would love to see what you could yeet offshore with different baits like crawfish, crab, slim jim, etc. Saw one you did with a wrench jig, that was awesome!

Sounds good! I did it again with the wrench yesterday haha

[@daltonjohnson3289]

Saw you this morning in the bayou we was in the two Jon boats I hit Dauphin island the bayou and industrial canal looking for sheepshead and nothing I heard everybody had a pretty slow day how did you do

[@CaptCollier]

It was a tough day for sure, i was on a charter. 4 keeper Sheepshead in 5 or 6 different locations all day. Finally said screw it and went and got a 4 man limit of redfish

Are the crawfish sitting on the bottom and they pick it up or its sitting halfway in the water

How do you tie the floracarbon to the braid ? Do you use a certain knot ? What’s your technique or preference? Absolutely love the crawfish 🦞 🤣🤣🤣

Man that’s crazy, I would think so as well. Did you try pinching the head off and just using the tail? We noticed we got more bites that way. I think their big head intimidates them

[@aarongonzalez5066]

Could have used the tail and the head two different baits the head looks like a fidd 😂👍🏾🎣 grate video brother.
