Your video describes pretty much what I had in mind, plus a few other ideas that I didn't think about back then. I'm not growing any younger, so, this is a project for another life, but it sure looks like a good reference for younger fishermen.

      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.

    So basically don’t fish where the waves are breaking. Either in front or behind. Infront of sandbars is better at night. That’s what I understood

    • @richtroxler
      @richtroxler 2 місяці тому

      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.

    Awsome tutorials👍💪. Out of curiosity, when floating bucktails, plugs and chunking what is your favorite brand of heavy monofilament if you where using 30 or 50 lb mainline? Plus what are your thoughts of circle hooks when chunking on the beach and inlets in particular in todays current era and regulations ?

    • @richtroxler
      @richtroxler 2 місяці тому

      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.

      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
