SECRET BAIT FOR SURF FISHING? Diet Pepsi Soaked Shrimp
Legend has it that soaking your shrimp in Diet Pepsi will cause a reaction that fish can’t resist. The bait changes consistency, color, and scent. Fishermen have insisted for years that this trick produces more fish, but are the legends true? I’m ready to find out for myself! Have you tried this before? Comment below!
This week, I am fishing on a beach in Florida I’ve never been to before! I’m here with Erin, her sister, Emma, my mom, and my dad! I’ve got my Diet Pepsi Shrimp concoction as well as fresh shrimp and my very own Shrimpy Bits to try out! Let’s see which one I catch the most fish on!

I'm a new subscriber, and this is my second video from you. I've been saltwater fishing for...let's say more than a couple decades, and I love your openess to trying new baits and teqniques, and especially reminding people the importance of keeping unwanted/un-needed plastics out of our oceans. Your personality is great, and you don't come off like a know it all like some of the others I've seen with their own channel. Stay humble, keep fishing, and keep teaching us new things! I can't wait to watch more of your videos to see what I haven't learned in all these years, even though my success has been great, it can always be better! Thanks for the vid and the interesting info on diet Pepsi. It may not have made much difference as far as the fish were concerned, but it could make for an interesting dish with the right ingredients and side dishes....FISH! lol Take care and be safe.
Thanks for taking the effort to test out the baits for all fishing friends out there, Thanks.
You guys make a great team. Family Thanks we appreciate the content
Pepsi shrimp ; what a flavour
I love ALL the saltwater videos and can't wait to go to either NC or GA to give it a try. Building up my equipment and camping essentials.
Baby hammer head 🦈 that was cool!!
We often soak krills into a syrup to harden and make them more attractive. This is the similar method used at ISO(rock shore) fishing in Japan.
I love to see Dad's fishing with their kids!

Exactly!! My Dad, "Pop", taught me how to fish, first in fresh water, and then salt water. In his later years, it was me taking HIM fishing...just the two of us like it was when I was young. He's passed on now, but it was Father and son times that I'll never forget. Definitely priceless memories! For any Dad's out there who fish and have kids, especially a son or more, take the time to take them fishing. You'll never regret it, and they'll never forget it. Life moves so fast that we tend to forget the simple things, the most important things, and before you know it, time has slipped by, and it's too late to have a "do over". Do it right the first time and leave nothing TO regret with your kids. Just sayin'
I love ur vids just sit back an its almost like I'm fishing with you. Lol thanks for the cool vids keep them coming an always (keeponfishin)
Thank you for that awesome fishing bait technique Master Skipper.🥰🥰🥰
Great info enjoyed it ty
Always enjoy your vids bro!
GRACIA POR LA INFORMASION
Little secret for you.... Pompano LOVE the Shrimp heads!! Never throw them down or away. Put them on your hook! Yes.... you Can't cast as far as with a tougher shrimp... but the Heads of shrimp get hit Almost as quickly as sand fleas do! No joke! I learned the Heard way! I had ran out of my shrimp and only had heads left in my bag, so started using them! And to My Surprise, they were Slamming them quicker than they were the actual shrimp bodys! Maybe because of the juices it releases vs the shrimp bodys.
The seagull laughing at 1:16 😂😂😂
killer opening man! I love the content you make.
Try 3 hooks on the same pole with three different bait to rule out location of the casts.

Thanks for sharing the video! Can’t wait to fish again
Great videos!!
Super have to try once🥰
Cooked shrimp works soooooo good
Hey Skipper, if you are trying to do a fair test...then you need to remove the painted do'hickey that you have just above your hook. you won't know if the fish are attracted to the "pepsi shrimp" or the piece that looks like a "sand flea" egg sack, although...i do like that idea. tight lines to you and Erin and Dad. keep up the good vids...you make me laugh.

I have been using Diet Pepsi Soaked Shrimp for years. This is we do it in NE Florida, prep the shrimp to your choice, then place the shrimp in the DP for about 15 minutes before using, not over night it will make the shrimp soft if you leave the shrimp in it to long. One last tip we only use it in cold weather when the water is below 65 dergrees
ha ! Love your "experimental " videos !
Hammer Head dude how cute... first time watching your show, it’s pretty awesome 👏. The Pepsi shrimp heard of never seen it tried. Thank You 🙏 ❤️
I love the fact the thumb nail had all the info. Respect that

Growing up in Africa, we used salted whole shrimp. Get the smaller size, and hook it all, not cut. Hook from head to tail, leaving the tip of the hook exposed at the bottom of the tail.
I do love your idea of sea salt shrimp and now I use your idea to make sea salt mackerel lol it works well I'ma try the diet Pepsi next
Thanks for another great video.

From Australia...well done. I will try the D Pepsi.
Some part of the video the seagulls' sounds like they are doing the intro hey for Hey Skipper 🤣
Your videos only make me love fishing more! Keep up the AMAZING content!
Love you guys and diet Pepsi!
Muito bom video 👏👏👏

Parabéns! Gostei do vídeo e da novidade. Também pesco na beira da praia. Continue assim. Está muito bom.
Ive heard about this before from another fisherman but i have not tried it. Guess its worth trying to find out myself.
There are a ton of Googans insisting that you had a hammer head shark. WRONG. Look it's up. The closest to a hammer head is the scallops head hammer Big difference in the head. Google can show you both It's a BonnetHead! Love your videos!
In Australia we remove head and hook from Tail forward. Fresh is always best. Natural baits always fish better over here.
I can use on the BRASIL.
Very nice 👏👏👏
We are gonna be trying your Trck dude... Hope to get more fish...
Birds laughing at you (paper oh pepsi)😂😂😂
I know this is an old video, but I tried this last Friday 07/28/23 offshore with cut Sand Perch i had caught in the surf. It hammered the Red Grouper, Strawberry Grouper, and Red Snapper in NE Florida
Hi guys love your videos keep up the good work and tell your sis I said hi
Hey Skipper!!! Hey Erin!!! Hey Dad. Always great to see you all on the ⛱. I've been using wild caught shrimp from the grocery store seafood department for the last month or so. Shrimp 🍤 is now my favorite go-to bait. Awesome video!!!

Thanks for a lovely view of the ocean. Not too wortued about Peosi. Just sardines is good

nice vid man
Shrimp flavoured Diet Pepsi what is not to like.
With the Diet Pepsi theory, I would be afraid of “Hey watch this” or “I double dog dare you” with my crew. Best to avoid such situations.
Put some small rubber bands bait will stay on you can find then in any dollar store
Nice day of fishing!! Can you eat those little sharks?
Wow 🤩 That’s badass. I wonder if DP does that to shrimp what does it to you our stomachs 😱
Bonnet head have that rounded front and look like a spade, or the "bonnet" hat women used to wear. Hammerhead have a flat front edge, and look like a double headed hammer. Nice video.

We caught some like that in Florida when we moved there, and as newbies we had no idea what kind of shark they were, but the marina owner said they were shovelhead sharks. Idk, but they were damn good eatin'. I'm planning on a trip to the NC coast right after Labor day just to fish a few days. I know laws have changed concerning sharks, but can or can't you still fish for them if it's not commercial? I've seen so many people catch them, and just leave them on the pier to die, or beat them to death and throw them back in the ocean, doing nobody anygood. A simple Google search would work, but I'm kinda over Google

Exactly, so the fresh or salted shrimp catch should be divided by 2 to be statistically fair, so if the final tally was the same, then diet Pepsi shrimp wins out.
Diet shrimp. I'd be all over that too.
Another great video! What beach are you guys fishing on? I’m going to try Atlantic in two weeks.
Nice Gulf Kingfish aka: Whiting.Here off the East Coast of Florida we catch both the Southern Kingfish which is more dark in color and does not have the black tip on its tail.Whereas the Gulf Kingfish are bright Silver with the black tip on its tail.Both of these fish are commonly referred to as Whiting and are both delicious to eat. The 'Kingfish' name is not to be confused with the King Mackerel species of fish which is an entirely different species of fish. Good video.
i think a hammerhead. sure looked tasty, looked like it was covered in pepper flakes ready for the grill.
Fun video.
I heard a long time ago about an old guy that accidentally spilled his diet Pepsi in his shrimp bucket here on the east coast of Florida. Swore to God was the best fishing he ever had and from that day on he always poured diet Pepsi and his shrimp bucket when he went fishing.

You're right in your mind
If that other man with you is your dad I like that !!!
That little shark was indeed a bonnet head, you can tell by the curved/rounded head , a hammer head tends to have a straight/flat head

Watching your videos has got me thinking. I love sesame chicken but, because most places fry it, it's not good for me so I don't eat it very often. But, the way some restaurants prepare it the chicken can be fairly tough. It will probably stay on the hook as well as dead shrimp and the sauce with the sugar and red color may attract fish. It's worth trying some time. Maybe try soaking shrimp in the sauce used in sesame chicken or orange chicken.
Hey i used your shrimpy bites at a paylake in Indianapolis and caught a 25 pounds catfish
