STOP Getting Snagged While Pier Fishing!
Ойын-сауық
We tried something we’ve never done before: we used a float rig to go pier fishing. We grew so tired of getting snagged, so we tried this simple hack to fix it AND IT WORKED. We were able to catch a multitude of fish using this method, and the best part: WE DIDN’T GET SNAGGED ONCE!
We are fishing on Jacksonville Pier in Jacksonville, Florida. We met up with some buddies of ours just to have a good time and see what we could catch. Using a float rig on a pier might not be unusual for some people, but it is a new method for us. Tell us your favorite way to pier fish in the comments below!

Good teamwork. That’s why I liked to watch your videos because you kept on experimenting and share your experience. 👍🏽Great fishin’🐋🐬❗️❗️❗️
Man, I found you today. I just loved your vídeos. I m gonna watch them every day. Congrats from Brazil.
That setup on the piers down here Texas is definitely a trout slayer here too. Artificial or a well hooked dead shrimp with a popping cork is like the ice cream truck song to redfish here maybe you can try that.
Love it !! I'll try that rig. It reminds me of my blackfish rig.
I started using a float tube a few weeks ago because of snags! perfect video
He is casting snake eye on you Hoping to jinks you with the “First cast fish “ 🤣
nice tips for my next pier fishing day.
Great tips guys!
really cool especially wen u got the shark on the float rig
I had that hard run happen to me recently. Probably a barracuda. No way to slow it down and it was under a dock to boot. The braid almost cut into me when I tried to cup the spool for additional drag. Never saw the fish but will never forget it. Also a shrimp for bait. Nice video.
Senko Skipper is my beginning of summer break must watch for pre-fishing news and tips - :D
Great vid. Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. 😃🐟🐟👍
Salute from Brazil! Nice vídeos! Nice tips!
Dude, she killed it!!
Good video!! We fish the Minnesota & Wisconsin waters and are amazed at the variety of fish you land. We'd appreciate one or two sentences per fish so that when we have an opportunity to fish your area we'd be better prepared. Thank you.
I use this rig on Jetty. It’s good at catching surf perch. But hard to cast for a good distance when the weather is rough.
I loved that method! I'm definitely gonna try it here in Brazil! Awesome videos, I've found your channel this week and I can't stop watching the videos! It's inspiring!

Man I wish you guys could do a video on the Oregon coast, I'd love to see what you catch in my neck of the woods.
This is y i don't use light tackle... i know it's more fun but I'd rather land the fish than get spooled or broken off. Usually 4000+ reels and 20 lb minimum (usually braid) line.
Thanks homie for your info and videos I'm hooked 🤣
Wow nice,good skill and tekhnique
nice technic !thx sir !!!
thanks for the video amazing catch...
Just a old-school slip cork rig we use it here in Oklahoma for catfish and crappie use bait or jigs
nice video , gonna try this setup with salad shrimp.
They just recently closed that pier for two years to repair last year's storm damage.
Sick. That fish smashed out with the bobber n all🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
I fish at Jax Beach too. 2 questions: What made you choose that particular spot on the pier? What depth did you end up making your bait?
Your very instructional thank you
Here In va we use that set up for speckle trout and red fish , the pop in water gets their attention, nice video

Amazing to fishing lke style
Yea, I tried fishing the bay from a pier for the first time and got snagged 2x last night. LOL I usually fish freshwater and wanted to try saltwater. I didn't catch anything but I did have some nice nibbles on my line. I think I saw baby snook deep in the water down below. I used some rubber swim baits and believe it or not something was nibbling at my chicken heart I put on my hook. LOL Was fun even though I didn't catch anything. My first experience and it can only get better. I also learned that it's better to fish during the week, the weekends are way too busy with everyone fishing. Thanks for the video!!

Hey bro! You live in Jax? Me too! But we normally go down to Flagler Beach to surf fish. Tear it up down there!
Do you have a video about "spinning vs baitcaster"?
Awesome video, Thank you! I don’t think you mention your Rod setup in the video. I’m curious 🤔
Going out tomorrow and get me some
Great vid! how do you set it up to adjust bobber?Thanks for all your info talent!!

Jay VanHouwe You can buy float stoppers that feed onto your main line, they have like a pin that you can then clamp the line with using some strength (pliers) or however you want to do it. My idea is usually give yourself a heap of line to let the float slide and then go as deep as you can. Keep adjusting the float stopper to shorten the line until you see your float bobbing straight (not laying on its side like he showed a bit in the video). If it’s straight up and down it means your sinker is holding in water and your bait is floating above the sea floor. Adjust accordingly if you feel like you’re getting no bites to go deeper or shallower. It’s a bit of a fiddle to get it set but once you’re set you just sit back and let the fish come!!
My new style from now on
I liked the lady......she has an amazing smile....she didn't feel angry when she lost her two fish

Strike...strike...strike 🎣🎣🎣
My old 92 Grand Prix with the 3.1... 60 degree V6, never really had a serious issue. Alternator went out once, and the ignition pack. Other issues were not engine related, but electrical stuff and some vacuum hoses, but ran great until like 2012 when I sold it, it had over 200K on the odo.
Tehnik yang bagus,salam from indonesia
How do you attach the bead that's on top of the cork ? Do you have a video of how to make this rig ? Thank you
Hi hey skipper can I ask I'm a one big viewer of your videos and my hobbies to is fishing like you.can I ask where can I purchase this kind of floater or bobber thanks for your answer.Godbless!!! From Canada
That's ace
awsome fish, it needs to get some flylure
Have you ever fished any of the beaches in Australia?
Instead of using a locking bead at the top. Use a sliding stop knot. That way you can adjust the depth of the float to 'any' length with ut being 2 ft or 200ft and still be able to cast
We’re heading to myrtle beach Xmas week any tips for me and my kids ? We fish ma. Cape cod . This will be a be an exiting experience!
1:04- those clever bait thieves, grackles. They even get into folded bags sometimes.
I really want to try the float fishing.
You must really like this rig
i am from Ukraine. good videos !!! ))
Hey Skipper it was great Can we yous in river
Do you use a bobber stopper above your float from up towards your fishing rod?
What size mono leader line do you use with this float rig?
where can we buy this product
