location of the pier please. thank you
u can also use an xrap those can often get a big spanish or a king or if u you’re mainly targeting spanish u can use a hex head jig/cropie jig
It's the small things to notice...I like the way you have your extra line and leaders attached to your cart.

Thank you Martha! Definitely makes life easier! You reminded me I need to make a quick short on this - thanks!
Great video! I was in SC recently and really enjoyed catching Spanish mackerel, but I want to go again and zero in on them, so I appreciate these valuable tips. Many thanks!

What a fun fight!!!💪👍
Will try this , moving back to NC at morehead next month , been retired in Florida last 10 years
Great channel, great content, really helpful. I just started pier fishing again for the first time in 35 years so I could take my son with me without having to worry about the boat. We are having a blast! Forgot how much fun the pier was😂…🤷♂️

Ive never fished for Spanish from the pier. Always from the beach. But, its a new year! (Always used clark spoons and gotchas. Ive seen them caught on bucktails and glass minnow jigs though.) Good video!

You want nice clean water that's cooled below 68*. Usually the sunrise and right before sunset bites are good. I would focus however on fishing an incoming and falling tide. In the spring you want to cast off the S end of the pier and in the fall you will cast off the N end. Happy fishing 🎣

Been having really good luck with a clarkspoon spoon squid #00 and about 7 foot of liter with a 3 ounce weight and I get hit almost on every cast in the morning my pier. I just cast as far as I can and straight retrieve about half way let it drop to the bottom and reel again.

Nice video. I'm from holden beach and I'm trying to learn to catch Spanish I got the gotcha plug and also the Spanish mackel tree rig problem I have is I'm wheelchair bound and the pier railing is to high for me to work the gotcha so to me the tree rig woukd be best. Any other pointers for my situation woukd be appreciated. New sub love the videos

Yes i agree the tree rig will be best as you will be vertically jigging that. Dont be afraid to vertically jig the gotcha as well. You can look into the rod rocker that mounts to ur rod and pier and also some people DIY them

Is it ok to use the heavy duty liters, they are the black durable wires, and can easily hook on your lure. Is it ok to use the heavy duty liter?

In my experience, you don't catch as many spanish but the blues don't seem to mind that much. I always recommend mono or fluoro leaders for gotcha plugging. You will find the action is better too.
What rod and reel do you use?
@CarolinaShoreFishing
2 жыл бұрын
Rod is a star rods stellar light rated to throw 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz. And the reel is a 2500 runcl but idk that I'd recommend that reel. I'd probably grab a battle 2 or fierce 3 reel for it.
Do u use a clarkspoon with the tree rig?

I use a sting silver usually or a diamond jig
Been killing it at Johnny Mercers lately. Does color of gotcha plug matter at all?
@CarolinaShoreFishing
Жыл бұрын
It does matter a little and can be affected by the water clarity, color of water, how the glass minnows appear in those conditions, and that sort of thing.
Den using these lores for 65 years
Do I need a weight with the tree and spoon?

Either a bank weight on the bottom or a 1 to 2oz sting silver casting jig or a diamind jig will suffice

They are all different. Check here at www.carolinashorefishing.com for a list of piers in NC and SC with the addresses.
Great content.. just what I was looking for. Unfortunately your camera angle is not good to see what you are doing. Angle it down towards your hands more?

Thank you Kathryn! In this video, I just wanted to talk about the best ways to go after Spanish and how to work the baits. In a future video, I intend to show the knots and how they are tied in a more relaxed setting using paracord so it's easier to see. Happy Fishing!

Absolutely! I have this video which utilizes the same knot except you won't want to do the extra twists (t-knot) for the mackerel tree. It doesn't matter for it and will take a long time to do that many. I save the t-knot for bottom rigs. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4aHuaOHoafFdps.html
