Stop Getting Snagged while Fishing Structure! (EASY SLIP FLOAT RIG)

Today, we are casting out live shrimp on a float fishing rig to target speckled trout, red drum, black drum, and anything else that will bite. Using live shrimp on a slip float rig is one of my favorite methods to use in this area. It helps me avoid snags by not fishing on the bottom and the live shrimp provides nice natural action that the fish can’t resist. Have you tried this method before? What do you think?
We are fishing at this small creek in Jacksonville Florida. The fish of choice at this particular spot is speckled trout, but I wouldn’t mind seeing what else I can catch. It’s a bit windy, but Erin and I are ready to have a good day of fishing! What kind of fish do you like to catch on a float rig?

Everytime Erin touched it....you caught a large trout! WOW!

That float rig is deadly. I've tried using it on the jetty, once you get your depth right, it's non stop action.
Thanks to the Skipper for sharing.

This is the way everyone fished on Georgia's coast in 70's and 80's. Float-Hi-Glo floats, trout sinker, Kahle hooks and live shrimp. Fill the cooler, no limits!! Strike -Zone in Jax is the best! Enjoyed the video.

All your stuff is great Mr.Skipper thank you for all the hard work!!

This is my go to rig when fishing on the jetties. When that float sinks, i do an easy pull sometimes to make sure i let the fish chase the bait back or set the hook gently, then when i feel the tension thats when i start reeling.

What a delightful gentleman. Thank you for your tips and knot tying. I am watching.

[davidfigueroa]

Thank you, my friend, the fisherman. Fishing is a pleasure known only to the angler

[serranolife]

Do it bless it 😆😆 that's gold I love it.

[Sano_Ohno]

I usually loop the line three times inside the bead instead of making a knot and there is not limit how far(depth) of your bait to sink in :) hopes this helps

[julianigoe]

Love the reaction when float fishing. The intensity of concentration on that little float is great 🇦🇺🇦🇺🍻🍻👍👍

[ginoyo]

Hello Sir, thank you for your videos I watch them and it relaxes me especially at this time when my morale is at its lowest. I'm more about sea fishing and watched your dad doing sabiki surfcasting could you please do a practice video on the technique as it looks fun and productive to me. Thank you☺
