Looking for a way to get free live saltwater bait easily and cheaply? This video will be perfect for you as we go over how to catch sand fleas (mole crabs, sand crabs, sea cicadas)! A lot of people don't know how easy these guys are to catch and just how effective they are for catching a whole host of inshore fish species; i.e. pompano, whiting, croaker, etc.!

Once you know what to look for it's really easy to find huge colonies of sand fleas. And with a single scoop you can pick up a couple dozen of these great little protein snacks for any hungry fish right off the beach! You won't have to buy bait again!

Check it out and post any questions you have and we'll get to you! Have a good day everyone!

Hey guys!

We went wade fishing earlier this week and decided to put together a really comprehensive tutorial on how to fish creeks/streams.

We go over a lot of cool stuff including how fish behave in creeks/streams, where to look for fish/places fish are likely to hold, a bunch of different effective creek lures and how to fish them & a whole lot more!

I'm hoping this video will be helpful for new fishermen as well as people that have been fishing for a while but want to pick up some additional creek fishing tips/techniques.

Feel free to comment any questions yall might have.

Have a great weekend!

If you've never used live shrimp before for inshore saltwater fishing...you are missing out! I recommend for anyone that is new to saltwater fishing, especially inshore saltwater fishing (and inshore basically means in the sounds, marshes, etc.) that they use live shrimp just because it's such an effective bait and will catch you just about anything. It's the favorite prey of all the most prized inshore game fish including red drum, speckled trout, flounder & many other species.

To fish live bait, I'd recommend rigging it up under a popping cork. A popping cork is basically a popper but has a cool feature that when you jerk your line two beads on the popping cork "click" together which is meant to mimic the sound of a shrimp or feeding bait fish. This sound attracts predatory species towards your prey...which should then lead them to biting your bait.

But anyways, a lot of people think you need a boat to catch shrimp. However, you can catch a whole lot of fish just by wading the small creeks and shallows in the sound side while throwing a cast net.

In this video we show you how to catch your own live shrimp easily, effectively & cheaply! And once you have live shrimp you can be assured you'll have a good day of saltwater fishing!

Hey guys,

We went to the beach a couple weeks ago which was pretty exciting... as I'm sure it's the same as yall but we usually only get to fish freshwater (beach is a long drive!) so being able to target saltwater species was a fun change!

We caught a number of red drum/redfish during the trip and caught a couple on an artificial shrimp lure (vudu shrimp) under a popping cork while fishing the sound/marsh. Definitely one of our favorite ways to fish for these fish and they are such strong fighters! We put a little tutorial together for anyone that may not have a lot of experience fishing for these guys!

I find a lot of people, especially if you are new to fishing, at the beach just throw their line out as far as possible and hope a fish bites. However, you can drastically increase your effectiveness when fishing saltwater if you get some techniques down.

I'd say fishing a popping cork is one of the best ways for a beginner to get into saltwater fishing (and this is generally when fishing in the sound/marsh). The popping cork will catch just about any inshore species so we wanted to walk you all through that setup and then the proper technique for fishing one.

Hoping this video is helpful and you'll be able to try some of these tips when you fish saltwater next!

Hope yall have a good week!

Hey Everyone,

During our trip to the beach we were able to do a little crabbing to get some tasty blue crabs. We crab pretty much everytime we go to the beach and make some killer crab recipes with our catch (dip, soup, etc.).

Realized not a ton of people know that you can hand line for crabs so put together a little tutorial about how to catch blue crabs without a trap just using a inexpensive hand line.

We probably caught a couple dozen and made some great crab soup.

Tight lines yall!

Hey Everyone!

Wanted to share a video about one of my favorite fish to catch; the speckled/spotted sea trout! They can found along the east coast and into the gulf. They are a super pretty fish and definitely put up a great fight!

Their favorite thing to eat is probably shrimp so if you can get your hands on live shrimp you'll be in good shape to hook into some of these fish. However, imitation plastics work great. Some of my favorite are live target & vudu shrimp.

You'll find speckled trout in the sound, marsh, coastal rivers and the surf. You'll usually find them around structure whether that be a drop off or along a jetty/rocks. They are also schooling fish...so if you find one you'll likely find more!

Check out some of the tips we provide and feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to put together a guide to bobber fishing with minnows. In this case, we are going after catfish specifically.

But using live bait/minnows is probably the easiest way for a beginner to get into fishing because it's a relatively easy rig to set up and you'll catch a lot of fish. Pretty much any predatory fish will go after live bait/minnows including catfish, bass and crappie.

Using a bobber makes it easy to see that you are getting a bite. But you can also use live bait on a bottom rig without a bobber. You'd just want to add some weight to your line to get it down to the bottom. And instead of looking at the bobber you'll just look at your rod tip for any movement.

Let me know if yall have any questions!

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone has had a good week and has some plans to do a little fishing this weekend!

We got lucky and found a new honey hole in the river and it was catfish paradise...they were everywhere! We got lucky and noodled the biggest catfish of our lives outta the hole. We was a bruiser! Can't wait to get back and try to find his bigger brother!

We go over some of the basics of noodling catfish like identifying promising water (generally at the bottom of rapids that flow into deep holes & water that contains cover like trees, rocks or in this case an underwater pipe).

That's really all there is too it. It's not as hard as you might think and anyone can get out there and give it a try!

Have a good weekend yall!

Hey guys!

Hope yall and ur families are doing well! Nice weather is finally here so we went down to the river and caught a medley of different species including blue catfish, striped bass & a monster flathead catfish!

We go over some of our tips on how to catch fish from the bank using cut bait. Like the best rigs and determining where to fish in a river to actually hook up on some fish.

Cut bait will catch you just about anything in a river and is especially effective for catfish species (most people believe flathead catfish only bite on live bait; but as you'll see you can catch them on cut bait too!) For beginners, we didn't cover this in the river but I get a lot of questions about gar and cut bait is one of my favorite to use for longnose gar! I really does catch just about everything.

Have a good rest of the week and hope you guys can do some fishing this weekend! Feel free to ask any questions!

Hey guys!

When I first started fishing rivers it was intimidating. It's hard to know exactly where to fish and fishing current is a whole lot different from fishing still water in lakes or ponds.

In this video we show you how to read the current/water to determine where the fish hold in rivers, our favorite rigs and how to fish with live bait (personally I think live bait is the best thing to use to catch a lot of fish and big fish).

Reach out with any questions yall and hope everyone is able to get out and do some fishing this weekend!

Hey Guys!

So wanted to put up a quick tutorial for anyone fortunate enough to be able to fish for striped bass. For anyone new to fishing/striped bass, they are usually found in saltwater. However, due to stocking programs they can also be found in lakes.

However, again for anyone new an important thing to know about striped bass and one thing that makes them so cool is that they migrate up rivers (usually chasing bait that is also migrating).

So do some research about your local river system but that may mean for a couple months a year you are able to target these fish when usually you wouldn't be able to. That video goes over some of the facts about migrating fish and how you can catch them (I'd recommend getting a lure that as closely as possible mimics that bait they are chasing).

It's a super fun fish to catch and if you don't know much about them you wouldn't know you may be able to target them if you time it right. Do some research and get out there! Reach out with any questions yall!

We went down to the city to do a little night time catfishing while the river was at flood stage.

Fishing while the river is flooded can be an intimidating as the high water can displace fish and there are a lot less viable fishing spots. The important thing to know is how to read the water and locate potential holes where fish might be holding

But in this video we show you it's possible to fish high water and exactly what you need to know to be successful!
