I tried a gray shad colored saltwater assassin fluke with a 1/4 ounce chartreuse shad head and switched up with a bunker colored 3/8 ounce spro bucktail the bluefish liked it the first hour but then the bite got slower so I tried a shrimp rig with some clams only caught 1 15 inch bluefish

Heading to the SC piers in a couple of weeks - this was very timely info. Thanks for sharing 👍
Caught my first fluke this past weekend using a Squidy Bits tentacle on a 3/8 oz. jighead off a bridge in MA. Appreciate you!!!
Going for our first saltwater fishing trip to Galveston in 2 months. I'm devouring your videos trying to get prepared. Great information!
Thank you for the tips I'll be sure to try them next time I go pier fishing.
I've seen like 8 different videos. I might as well just subscribe
Your videos are always helpful and you are always in such a good uplifting mood, Thanks from California
Again loving your video, very educational. Refresher is always good. 👍👍👍
One question I had was whether the height of the pier would impact what swim bay to use? Many of the California coast piers are really high up and the angle of retrieval feels off.
I love all kinds of lures and rigs that's how u check out what bites the most in styles remember all species have different ways to eat on there moods. I just experience anything new to get excitement to see what the fish behaviors on the bites that's the fun of sports to challenge tks keep doing what your hearts do keep on fishing
Hey! Fish from piers alot. Super useful. Im starting to make my own salt clams and thinking about starting fishing channel! Its great what you do. Tight Lines!
Thanks for your help!😎
Mario rodriguez from Ontario California Great video really good information & tips really appreciate thanks keep up the amazing videos can’t wait for the next video 👍🏼
Just started fishing. Your videos are super useful man. Looking to pier fish soon!
Thank you so much for all the knowledge . As a biginner i have learned a lot.
I couldn’t tie a dropper loop to save my life, lol. You should make a video of yourself trying to use a Sabiki rig-in as many scenarios as you can think of. There isn’t much too much coverage on that technique. Tight lines!
Really good video . This kind of video its what got me to subscribe. Keep it up senko.
Good info and tips for my fishing ..... Thanks to u actuator (Lumut Malaysia)
Great video y’all a video suggestion would be to do a food chain challenge! How it works is you start with something like sand flees and slowly work your way up the chain until you catch big fish! Love the channel much love from San Antonio Texas

Here's a little trick I use with a sinker. I attach an ordinary paper clip to my line and put the weight on that. It has very low break away weight. If my weight snags in the rocks, that's all I'll lose.
Great video man! Greetings from eygpt
Love the vids
Never use spoon yet. Will have a try. Thanks
I’ve had great success with got-cha lures on piers.
I love gotcha plugs I catch pompano, jacks, ladyfish, spanishmack, speckled trourt, blue fish and much more I also like fishfiner rigs with fishbites and dead shrimp.

Good advice. thanks. I have used a lure once or twice and didn't have any luck. I tried this morning for 3 min. before a lady got her line into mine, then went back to my live bait. I fish the jetty always. Think I'll go buy a spoon and try it again.
thanks for taking the time to explain for rookies like me!!!!

I am from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago I usually fish in the gulf of paria in Trinidad
The pier where I fish mostly is at Huntington Beach Pier in CA. Sabiki are used mostly because Mackerel and Smelts are always present at the end of the pier. Sometimes I see a few shark anglers there, but I'm not too interested in that. Anglers here use Carolina Rigs or Fish Finder Rigs to fish for Perch, Striped Sand Bass, and Yellowfin Croaker. These fish are mostly near mid or even beginning of the pier; though they use mussels to fish these. I wonder if spoons or the "flounder rig" works here at the pier. It seems it would work for surf fishing just north of my pier like around Dog Beach or near the jetty. I'm just so use to bait fishing for Mackerels and Smelts that I want to fish other species xD.

Inspired by the vids u helped me alot are u comming trinidad??
I like to start off with a speck rig when I get to a pier after I’ve set up a pole with live bait. I’ve also used the lures to catch live bait while I’m waiting on the big rod to get picked up. I’ll also use a modified speck rig, where I’ll only have a jig head on the bottom leader, but leave the top leader with an unweighted swim bait. After a few minutes I can narrow down where in the water column the fish are at. For example, if I’m getting more fish caught on the jig head, I know they are on bottom. My second favorite lure for pier fishing is a rattle trap style lure. Especially in really murky/dirty water.

I’m from Texas and fish the gulf coast here. Primarily the surf, piers, and wade fish the bays on occasion. One of the greatest kept secrets to pulling big fish off of jetties are using big spoons, 2-4 oz towards the end of the jetties at the edge of the deep water.
Hey for the spoon and doa swim baits at the pier, do you add a sinker? Or just the lure by itself? Thanks!
Do you have a basic rod/reel combo you’d recommend for some occasional pier fishing with a bit of fresh water fishing? Trying to stay below maybe $75, thanks in advance! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the great advice. What color DOA swim bait would you recommend?

He right about those spoons though. I remember, the first freshwater fish I ever caught, a 14in cutthroat up in Alaska, was on a small, golden spoon.
Never went pier fishing, but I guess I will in the near future 😂
Do you have to put weights on your spoon rig to cast it far? I know some jig heads are 1/4 oz weight but I can’t get a far cast
nice!
Good informative video. So when are you going to show us how to catch Snakehead in your kayak?
Some brand of soft plastic swim baits advertises with fish attractant as well. Do you know how long the attractant generally lasts for when in use? Tx.
great vid, ever use GOT-CHA plugs ? They are great for blues and Spanish from the pier as well.

Blacktiph I saw you at gandermounton remember
I don't have a pier near me but I do have plenty of rock structure and a couple jetties (northern CA). For cut bait, do you recommend a carolina rig or the high/low? For swimbaits/ lures do you recommend tying directly or would a snap swivel attachment be ok? do you put a trailer on the swim baits or lures (squid etc) ?

How much weight do you add to the line for small spoons?
Hi I wanted to know what is the best way to catch halibut from the pier
Is there some kind of artificial bait. That will be good. To use with a float of some kind to cast it out. And just let it set. Out there. That will get the fish to bit it and take it. That with the float will set itself. And catch fish ( passively. ) I am a outdoor survival Bushcraft man. If so what is it and how does it work that have a good chance of working

What kind of rig do you recommend for fishing off the rocks which also contain a ton of barnacles in the water. We kept getting our hooks 100% stuck last time. I'm thinking a stray line rig. Appreciate it if you answer. Cheers.
