That same set up works well off the jetty’s. Been doin it for years. Old guy showed me it off drug jetty years ago when I lived on the island. Love your vids and your passion for the sport. Don’t ever change.

You know you a fisherman when you start puting bait in your pocket 😂😂😂

A great way to catch bass on sand fleas is to get a small bucktail and drag it on the bottom and stop and start. But keep it on the bottom dragging in to store. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve caught many this way and my personal best this way. I normally do this when they are being picky. Because kicking up the sand helps they think it’s a stand flea or crab. This works great in clear water

[christophermorath]

That was cool catching bass just a few feet from the beach. Your cinematography skills are catching up with your fishing skills.. Keep up the great work! Tight lines!

Great stuff Dillon, keep grinding away. I love your passion and only hope that young people can learn and appreciate these unique and challenging fisheries that we have in NJ. I really like the content and way you explain things. Keep angling brother!!

I’m from ATLANTIC CITY been in mays landing the last 12yrs…I usually sneak over to the Ocean City pier a few times a week, but since discovering this channel 3days ago IVE BEEN HOOKED! Dillion has some nice spots around the islands….. hope I run into you one of these days🤘🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[jamesmcdermott]

Very nice!!! Seems like ya can't go wrong with the sand fleas!!!

[mtrout]

I'm impressed you have so much energy to keep fishing and pumping out all these videos. I sometimes make private videos for fun, but I only do it a few times a year haha.

Anyway, I've been watching your content for a while and I have to say that it's honestly a lot more entertaining than much more popular youtubers. Keep it up!

[josephpollera]

Love you content brother. You do an amazing job of showing the rigs, conditions, grind, and the passion it takes to slay. Keep it coming and tight lines buddy

Sleeping in the car eating ice cream..and fishing. A trifecta of wonderfulness. I remember sleeping in my car by the old brigantine bridge fishing pier back in the day when you could drive your car back there. Dodging mosquitos and greenheads. Sand fleas great bait for pompano in the Outer Banks. Great vid brother.

[dusranc]

Great cinematography skills, awesome content, great narrator! Hoping the best for you in the future🤜🤛

[thedukeofagita]

Great vid. I observed lots of cool sand flea wash action last summer. Rays cruising up onto the beach and schoolie bass patrolling, I even saw either a thresher or marlin farther out in the surf- it was badass. I’m def adding this rig and sand flea approach to my quiver this year. Thanks!

[masonodhner]

Keep grinding bro. The content keeps on getting better 🔥🔥🔥

[anewlookatlurestopwaterpop]

Great video! One $5 minnow trap will give you 2 awesome devices to catch sand fleas. Just use a half to rake the sand fleas and sieve out the sand.
