Saltwater Fishing w/ RIDICULOUSLY BIG BOBBERS!

Think bobber fishing is just for little kids, small fish, or freshwater? I am here to prove you wrong! Bobber fishing is a really fun way to catch all kinds of fish wherever you go! I have a bunch of different, large bobbers to use on my slip float rig today and we’re trying for some nice-sized fish to keep for dinner. What size bobber do you like to use? Comment below!
Today, I am fishing with my dad, Erin, and some other friends who are around and we’re all using a slip float rig. I’ve heard that a float rig is the best thing to use in this area to catch some nice-sized trout. Let’s see if I get any to bring home to my Grandma today!

I grew up in Eastern Europe fishing the river with bobber's 90% of the time just like all the other fishermen in the area.We used fishing rods (without reels) that extended to 4-6 meters.Some used even longer rods but i liked 4-5 m usually.This video brought me back some really good childhood memories.

I LOVE big giant floats for saltwater. Especially mackerel season. I can pull 12-20 fish out a day!
Way to pass on the skills and the knowledge Brandon!!! Great to see you all out there together!!

The bobber stopper can also be a very small split shot. I find that it’s way quicker to set up, and works just as well

I’ve learned more from this channel than any other. Young really does teach, not click bait! My family actually catches fish when we go to the Gulf using his techniques! And most of my favorite episodes have “ the old man” in them. He adds a new dimension to the videos in a good way, mainly because I’m the old man in my kids’ lives.

In Missouri, we use bobbers all the time to catch panfish. It was great to see how the setup is for saltwater.

You are a great teacher! Thanks!

Thanks for the video. i find these bobbers all the time in tackle boxes I buy in flea markets.

[coreylett]

Love video. Thanks for the info on bombers. There are so many on the market. Keep those videos coming. Can't wait till next Thursday

I always enjoy these types of rigs. Depth is never an issue. As you basically have your whole reels worth.

I always just check the weight of the sinker. Rather have it sit low than lop sided. Also keeps it rather set in place. Avoid false strikes.

And better than a uni knot at and a beed is just a soft neoprene bead. Also called gummy beads.

Works like a charm

One more fish for grandma, I like that 👍👍👍

[tripplebeards]

Thanks for the tip on tie int my own slip knot

[reelfishing]

Great info
One thing about floaters, especially styrofoam is that some soft plastic lures actually have some sort of reactions to the styrofoam if you leave the soft plastic touching it, I have one floater that the soft plastic actually melted away some of the floater all the way down to the built in weight, and the soft plastic lure didn’t have any damage to it, only to the styrofoam

Cool video and definitely some interesting bobbers. Whenever I travel to a different area to fish, like from inland fresh water to the coast, I make it a point to check out the tackle shops, Academy, and Walmart. The stuff they sell tips you off on what works in that area and it varies by location.

A round of applause for an outstanding video! Tight lines!

[jamesjudson]

Guana is my favorite spot in north Florida. great choice

[rolandcaldwell]

We use balloons for live bait. Especially live bunker. Nice video

[jayeshpathak]

Thanks, definitely this video changes my fishing 👍👍👍🙏

[backdoorwoods]

They also work well for fresh water to cast far

[CatchingDinosaurs]

need to come use those floats with me for gar in Texas

[allbunsglazing]

I use floats here for saltwater, heaps! Love em so much, but theyre hard to find in that style. We use em for Australian Herring, Garfish, mostly, but you could also use em for tailor (aka bluefish).

[saltwaterinmyveins]

Something bout that float going down!! The old "float-hi-glo" floats where the best. This is the only way people used to fish.
