Dude releases more keepers in a day than I catch in a month. I might need to go hunt some fiddler 🦀.

If you can't get any fiddler crab you can always get a soft plastic from savage gear that'll be realistic looking an get some proline attractant spray in creyfish frog an nightcrawler which is awesome to use. It helps attract fish.
Seems like fiddler crabs work pretty damn good.
Might just be me, that puffer fish catch was the most interesting thing I've seen all year.
Long, long ago, when my father would take my brother and me pier fishing in the Galveston area, sheepshead were considered trash fish. That was true of pretty much everything besides specks, reds, and flounder. We might keep the occasional large whiting, but we threw back a lot of good-eating fish. I didn’t find out sheepshead were good to eat until I was a grownup!

I hear where you are coming from Dan. Here in Australia, I threw a whole lot of ‘rubbish ‘ fish over the side while in pursuit of more desirable species. 30 years later, I quietly curse myself for those ‘bad’ days of yesteryear when all we caught was ‘rubbish’ and came home empty handed when we had a good feed but poor knowledge. Today, I still love catching the classic edibles, but I don’t mind catching yesteryear’s ‘crap’.

I love how he’s like these reds are so abundant then dang a nice flounder I’m lucky to catch a damn sand trout or a croaker when i go to the gulf lmao
When I was a kid, first time ever going to the ocean, my dad took me on a fishing trip. First day was on a smaller boat in the bay and the second and third days would be in the Gulf Stream on his friends big charter boat. Well the first morning at the docks I asked about all the tiny crabs handing around amd if fish would eat them. The guide said fish would eat them and if I caught one then he would let me use it for bait. My eyes lit up. I went to WORK. I found a net on a boat and asked to borrow it. I chased those crabs everywhere. 😂 I ended up catching a couple dozen and we had the best day catching those sheepshead fish.

That was cool to see the puffer fish like that.
Now this is fishing! Looks like he had a ball
Super cool video. You make catching look easy. 😂🎣📹
That's what I call a good day,no crowds,no waves,
Those Redfish fight so hard!
My dad was a captain and I grew up at a marina fishing for sheepshead. The best crabs to use are those little black ones that hang on the pilings. We would freeline a crab on a #2 gold hook. Those sheepshead just can't ignore a crab.
Elias, reminds me of yesterday's Crappie massacre. Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless
stuck up in boston with crappy weather, keep the vids coming lol

Chris, come down the cape, I fished in this crappy weather today and caught a keeper striper! 😊
Looked like a pretty decent day on the water. You caught some nice eating size fish and it looked like a couple gave you a pretty good tussel ta boot. Good fishing Eli
NICE video. This was very informative
Here in the Florida Panhandle we use Fiddlers all the time throwing them on a small hook and no sinker and letting them drift under the docks. Almost always produces red fish and sheepshead it’s a great time on light tackle. I prefer them over mud crabs
You are exstraordinary fishing👍
Good job on fishing 🎣
Sweet set up with the kayak. Do yo have any videos were you go over the kayak set up? In particular the motor set up.
Love flounder. Salt, pepper, dusted with cornmeal and fried. Can only get them a couple months in the fall here.
Killer day of fishing!! I wish I could do that good in Charleston.
Coolest looking quill back in my opinion
Nikko makes a nice little 1" crab. They hold up really well and work well for me. Would like to see them tried out.
Dude you were killin it... nice yak !!
That's an excellent start
Those little guys play the fiddle? ...Awesome.
Beautiful red fish that first one was beautiful
Awesome content!!!! Keep it Up!!!

Enjoyed that. Good days fishing. Thanks for bringing us along. Closing in on 100K! Keep it up Elias.
The key to catching sheepshead is to set the hook just before the bite 🤪
Love the sound off the drag going off specially when albacore fishing. Great video
That was awesome
Elias the dock slayer. Sheephead fishing so much fun and technical. Love to chum it up and fish the natural bait. Best pound for pound fight In tight spots.
Great way to catch flounder
Down here in Florida my preferred bait was fiddlers because they caught sheepshead, red and black drum and a host of other fish in the rocks and around bridge pilings
Gotta be tough catching quality flounder and not being able to take it home. Nice job out there
Love seeing you beat those docks up in that area. Have you heard anything about the flounder numbers or anything from the state? From this past season. Seemed the sizes where better
Nice setup
Nice lure😨👍
Great vid
Nice fishing brother.
Love jigging world rods
Great Vid Man
I laughed so hard at the pufferfish
I remember there were loads of fiddler crabs in Gerritsen creek marsh off of Avenue U in Brooklyn
Great video
awesome video!!
Got that KZread drag goin lol you always kill it though.
I am down at North Topsail island all this week and can’t get nothing much to bite. Shrimp on the bottom Croakers and pin fish. Had one good Speckled trout on the dock I lost cause I didn’t use the net on. Been real slow and can’t put any kind of pattern together. Not giving up and have my Kayaks with me. Tight lines Brother.
I’m not a fisher I just like ur vids and it’s crazy how u are such a great fisher and u still take everything as a learning experience man awesome vids
Good stuff thanks. If Fiddlers aren't your favorite sheep bait, what is?
Cool video. How well do you like that rod? You are throwing really light for its specs. I love the look of it. Its currently unavailable
I bought a whole bunch of those bottom sweeper jigs a few months ago, gonna take some tips from ya so I can hopefully snag some sheepshead in the future!
Hi there great channel! what brand of yak are you using? And what are its dimensions. I like the mount for the electric motor. Cheers
I am not sure if I've ever seen him keep a red? Great tasting fish.
If you gonna throw the fish back would like to see it treated a bit better, like the one you leverage your pliers on its eye to get the hook out was a bit meh. Ah well maybe im just to sentimental, I would probably put some soft mat on the floor as well so they damage themselves less. But great footage you inspire me to go out and get a kano to fish myself, greetings from the Netherlands.
Awesome coverage. Which voodoo shrimp did you use?
Nice! Especially that Puffer fish! Where were you fishing?
Coool myfrnds good job..
The only problem with fiddlers is that pinfish can destroy them. Not as good as muds, but damn close. Ive caught big black drum on tiny little fids.
I use vudu shrimp . Great lures !
That’s a good way to spend some time on the water. Multiple species days are always a good time. I’m looking forward for some cool weather cause it’s still pretty warm here in Louisiana
Cool video
What size jig are you using for the sheepshead?
What jighead weight you reccomend for surf and jetties?
Mantap sekali sambarannya pakai umpan kepiting
The black stripey fish look like they have plenty of meat on them. I'd be tempted to take one home for my supper... as long as they're not too boney!
Hi Elias ....thanks for all your great fishing videos! Nice to see a real good fisherman out there doing his thing ! Don’t know if you’re familiar with Skin so Soft ...it’s works really well regarding those pesky “ no see ums”.....
Great video, when can we expect the Elias V Jigging World spinning rod? Great work out there 👍
Great channel and I personally Love using fiddlers at the causeways for the sheepies!
Good bait
What wakes at the top at around 3:00-3:-05 wen u pulled in it pulled out
Wow. You pulled out a big piece of meat first. I caught really big fish using crab and shrimp. I'm getting refreshed after watching a fun and good video today. This is a video of vicarious satisfaction. Fighting! 👍👍
A couple fish you caught two redfish and Sheepshead and a flounder I don't caught that all month
Man All I could think about was you getting stuck in the foot with those Fins. I’ve been stuck a few times in the hand while catching them on the boat and it can hurt like hell. Great job either way though. Tight lines
I miss living in Wilmington NC. 1 spot you can catch 5 different species not even moving to a new spot. Things are much different here in So Maryland fishing wise you have to bounce around and still maybe catch just 3 species
So great to see how that Old Town with the Spot lock is working for you! I think the 14 to 18 sheep are ideal. I generally want to let go any that are over 22 inches because they are the old breeders, right?

Hey Elias, I live in the area as well and wanted to know what you look for when you’re fishing docks for sheepshead and drum? Do you prefer docks closer to inlets? Awesome video by the way.

The biggest and most structurally complex docks will always be the best.
To cook a fish is a great honor
Elias... there you are bad mouthing mr flounder for eating your crabs and I'd love to catch Flounder. Haven't had a chance to get into those down here yet. I guess we got Flounder here in SWFL.
Each time I see you fish, I never see the current running very strong. Do you only fishing beginning/end of tide change? I tried your method but the tide was moving so hard I would have needed a brick to get the bait on target
Bro whats the brand and model on the kayak you are using, I like it
Elias I was looking at getting into kayak fishing and was wondering if you could recommend a good kayak in the $500 range. I’m a big guy (250lb) and would really appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks:)

Damn, this is amazing! Fiddler crabs eh? How you keep them alive for more than two days?? Also, why you said its not prefer bait when most fish like snapper, sea bass even delicious sheephead take them?
Black drums look like west cost spot fin Crocker we also got a yellow fin Crocker
My stepson caught a sunfish and a big bass it was amazing
Is the fiddler crab your preferred bait?
Nice catch master new friend
