Thank you.

And thank you for watching.

Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching.

Hi Will. It's in my DNA LOL. I just gotta know.

Hi Jose. Yeah, most of them are to keep kids from wandering away from their cars and getting themselves in trouble.

@@richtroxler Yep, I thought so 🙂

For Blue Cats down here in VA, I'd say quite a bit.

I don't see why not. There is no hard and fast rule for a sinking stick lol. I actually think that it would be a good technique to try. It would mimic a dying bait fish struggling while sinking to the bottom.

The use of this plug depends on the type of bait present. If you have long, slender bait, then it is a good choice. Also, the type of water you're fishing has everything to do with retrieve speed. No current, faster retrieve, or stop and go type retrieve, but definitely not real slow. Current, depends on how strong the current is and how deep the water is. Sometimes you just cast up current and let it sink and swing around with very little retrieve, it's hard to sat because it's all spot dependent. Ocean, it's all about hitting the backside of a wave and slow retrieve in the back suck.

Glad you liked it!

Glad to help! Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately that was before they rebuilt the bridge, but the area is still very productive.

I have several old Gibbs bottles, and yes, he was the originator. The reason I pitched the SS bottle is that they are molded, ergo fish consistent out of the package, and right sized for a beginner. No disrespect to Stan intended.

Thank you ;-)

Thank you kindly!

Hi Raymondo. I hope my videos have helped you out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching & the sub!

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching.

My stomping grounds for the past 10 years, since I left Long Island. I love Lynnhaven inlet and bay from my kayak, and Drum from the beach in the fall.

Thanks for the kind words Dale, and thanks for watching.

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

Hi Jose. Yeah, I ain't getting any younger either and I'm hip to unexpected complications. Been dealing with a few of those the last couple years and recently. But you know, life only goes in one direction and sometimes you just have to make the best of what you got. Keep kicking at life, even if it's kicking you back lol. Thanks for watching and be well.

@@richtroxler Thanks Rich! Very true and wise words! Be well.

Hi Will. Kayaks open up a whole lot of new territory. As much as I love to fish with sand under my feet, it's fun to fish from a kayak also. But many time I just use the kayak as a taxi to get me to shorelines I can't otherwise get to. I have a lot of bay and flats waters near me with tons of islands, so many times, I just beach the kayak and get out and fish from the island shores. The kayak is my water taxi lol. Get yours rigged up, you'll love it. Thanks for the kind words and for your viewership.

@richtroxler that is one of my plans. Just get to spots I usually look at from afar and wish i was there. Like you said,a water taxi. Im in ny on the island. I usually go out fishing by myself and do not know too many great spots yet. But now i have more time to explore. I really look forward to and appreciate your posts and the time you put into them. Thanks again.

Where abouts on LI? A kayak can take you to a couple of great places I know of.

It did. I just remember when I was first looking to buy a kayak for fishing, I really didn't know squat, and had to kind of learn through trial and error, so I figured I try to help those thinking of buying their first kayak on a budget. Thanks for watching.

It depends on where the sandbar is located, how deep the trough to shore side is, and the species you're fishing for. For example, if the sandbar is at the end of a long cast, but has a nice, deep trough on it's backside (shore side) then that's where I would focus my efforts. If the sandbar is close in shore and I'm fishing Red Drum, then I'm looking to clear the outside of the bar past the first wave, or find a cut or dip in the bar and fish that.

LOL

Ande or Berkley Big Game Mono, but mostly Ande line. Plugs I use mostly braid now, specifically Power Pro 50 lb. to Spro 230 lb swivel to 40 lb flouro leader. I used J-hooks and Siwash hooks forever when chunking and had very few gut hooks, but I've gone to circle hooks now for Drum down here in VA. I use a non-brand name circle hook that has a little wider gap than Gami's in sizes 10 and 12. Big Drum must be released and the regs on Red Drum have been very successful, unlike most of the regs on other species.

@@richtroxler gotcha.👍👍 With the change in regulations for circle hooks for chunking, what type of circle hooks do you prefer when chunking from the beach?

Down here in Virginia Beach, I use a circle hook from Custom Offshore Tackle, which is a local company, in size #10 for Red Drum. It has a wider gap than other circles, which I like. But I've also used Gamakatzu circles #10 and Owner's #10, which are smaller than other #10 size circles, but heavier wire and sharper out of the package. For smaller drum I use Gami's and Owner in smaller sizes. For Bass chunking, I would still stick with the #10's

For the gamakatsu circles for bass do you like the snell knot circles or straight eye inline circles?

Offset for snell.

Hi Carl, good to hear from you again. Not much I miss about Long Island, but I do miss the group of guys we had at noreast. It was special. How's Florida treating you? I see your posts on FB all the time.

The pleasure is mine, and thanks for watching and the sub.

Thanks for the sub :-)

p.s. hope your dizziness is under control

Glad you enjoyed it

Knock on wood, it's been good lately.

I don't know what happened to him, sorry.

yeah, I have not been as productive as I should be lately, I know. Thanks for staying tuned and for the sub. What part if Ireland do you hail from?

Hi Will. I hope you enjoy them.

If the sandbar is close in shore and I'm fishing Red Drum, then I'm looking to clear the outside of the bar past the first wave. If there is a cut or dip in the bar, I'll fish that. Same goes for a hole next to a point, which is one of my favorites.

You're very welcome!

Chunking is a bit of a dying form. It's considered stupid fishing by purists, but it's not really. I'm glad you enjoy my videos and I hope they help you out.

Thanks. Vertigo has been behaving (knock on wood).

There's more videos to see lol. Thanks for watching and for the sub!

Please do. One of my FB friends has a a group on FB devoted to Washington Coast Sand Perch fishing. It's called Surf Fishing Washington / Oregon and I think this link will bring you there facebook.com/groups/1850042138549331 Check it out.

You are very welcome, and thanks for watching.

You are very welcome Jose, and thank you for watching. Have a good season.

Thanks, and thanks for watching. Tight lines.

Hi Salty. Thanks for listening. I'm glad you enjoy my channel. I need to get more content going lol.
