SURF FISHING GEAR I USE

I’ve been making pompano floats out of discarded wine corks and red plastic beads. 40 lbs main line, 25 lbs snood snelled to a 1/0 circle hook. Works like a charm.

I also bought some of the metal rigs the first year I came down to the Gulf. Main reason was I had no idea what I was going to catch and figured I'd better go heavy. Now I know better - I make my own with mono.
Thanks for the video.

Yes ! We are in the same camp on bottom (light surf) rigs! 25-40lb. mainline, #6 or #4 E.C. snelled, long shank, 1/4" chunks of peeled shrimp, LETS GO! 🌴🐟💯

I have subscribed as I really like your channel! Hope it grows for you! I saw and commented on your FishGum Fishbites comparison video your boys are adorable. I’m getting two more grandsons this May. Hopefully everything goes well. I raised two daughters. I make my own rigs using painted hooks and colored weights and various small hook floats. They work well and are much cheaper. I used the same hook as that Tsunami rig for years but now I use circle hooks. I wish Sally’s rigs were sold up here in NC. I have a problem with social media like Facebook, etc. and just don’t use them. I liked your analysis. We have to use heavier tackle up here in NC than you do in the Gulf. Great video!

Hey Brad, I watch all of your videos. I did not realize you were a Vols fan. I live in Tennessee, but travel in Alabama. They are not fond of Orange!! Love your videos.

Excellent video! I have tried tying me own pomp rigs and using Walmart specials. I caught more Crocker and small whiting with the Walmart special. Good to know I need to buy some local rigs when I get to the surf!

Cool test BB, Saltys only rig I use. Good video

Me and my daughter will be coming to gulf shores on the 18th and 19th. We would love to be able to meet up with you. We plan on trying the gulf shore pier and maybe the surf.

What is the issue with using snap swivels to attach the hook? Thanks.

[tjwebber]

Hey Brad, love your logo intro. Good luck on your channel !

[edwardkrasno]

[ryeckley]

Great video, I’m out every weekend myself. The fish are biting right now.

[runestryder]

Have you tried out the SnJ rigs?
Also, go DAWGS! *I couldn't resist*

[rickmetz]

😁😂🤣😃great save Brad, dont know if I would have blocked it with my body but glad you were able to save the fish for supper. as always thanks for the show, entertaining, informative, and enjoyed.

What rod and size do you use for beach fishing? I have a battle 4000 setup for the river but I’ve been trying to hook up on a pompano at the beach. Figured I could just get a beach rod and transfer my reel over when I go

[happy_hartshornes]

When you say you are going to bleed it out, what do you mean? I clean the fish when I’m done fishing. You think it makes a big difference? I’m just getting into surf fishing.

[thefatmanoutdoors]

There's that Tennessee boy repping the Vols!

[keithwhite]

Great vid brother. Can you show how to bleed out a fish in another instructional vid? Appreciate it!
