I go fishing every year in ocean isle in June. They have a pier there and every year i watch the old timers from 6:00 A.M. till about 8:00 a.m. p/u Trout with live shrip but they won’t tell ya were to get them because the bait houses don’t have live shrip yet. My question is there a lure out there that you no of that i can throw over the pier and catch trout. They are also using bobbers about 2 to 3 ft deep. And tell me how to use the lure. I have a ocean rod and reel. Thank-You

Can you tell me a simple saltwater fishing rigging that is pretty universal and will catch most small and medium sized fish?

I used to see the old guys fishing for snook off of low piers at Marco Island Fl in the late 70’s with a homemade rig. The rig was about a 6′ piece of bamboo pole with about 6′ of heavy live and leader. The lure would be a cone shaped piece of balsa with a treble hook in the end. The lure was painted or had fluorescent rings around it and they worked it in a figure 8 at the lights. Have you ever seen this and know what it’s called?

Hey Dan, First of all, I think this is a great website and what you are doing for the fishing community is a really good thing. The more people learn about fishing, the more likely they are to support the conservation of this great pastime/lifestyle. I am from southern Georgia and have fished the waters between Savannah and St. Simons Island for my entire life. I usually have no difficulty catching good numbers of speckled trout, but I have yet to learn how to really “zone in” on the larger ones (20″ ). I was hoping you could give me some advice to put me on the big fish (particularly during september. Im sure you are familiar with the salt marsh environment native to Georgia. Our trout are usually on the beach front and in the mouths of the sounds during summer, but fishing in september really gets tricky since it is a transition period for the fish in Georgia. My father-in-law is making a trip down this way soon, and I would really like to put him on some nice fish. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

1. Trying to figure out if less is better in terms of terminal tackle, etc. and how to rig pre-built leaders with hooks, 2 and 3-way swivels, etc. What terminal tackle and rig would you recommend for flexibility without sacraficing turning off the fish with too much equipment to attach leader/weights/hooks? This would be for: (A.) surf fishing in Indian Rocks Beach/Gulf side (trout, black drum, whiting, ladyfish…whatever bites) and (B.) fishing Tampa Bay from a dock in Ruskin/Apollo Beach area (snapper, snook, small blacktips). 2. Also, I have found myself taking up valuable fishing time w/ my 3 kids b/c I don’t have pre-built leaders, rigs, etc. What would you recommend I do the night before…specifics on what equipment to buy and how to rig (I’m looking for recommendations on: line and leader strength, weights, hook size, and what knots to use as well to bring it all together). This is a detail question. It is the there are too many options/rigs out there…which one should I use / narrow down. 3. I have seen hooks with pre-built leaders with loop at the end. How are you supposed to attach these to main fishing line? –Are these designed for swivel snap combo, where you simply open the snap/fastener, loop on the hook/leaders combo, and close it back up? It seems this setup is designed for flexibility to quickly change hook size, leader, etc. Am I on the right track here? Or do you/can you tie the loop directly to your main line? (I guess if you were only using split shot vs egg weight). And would you recommend always using a swivel to prevent twists in line, or are there any times you tie leader directly to main line? 4. Can you metion how to use swivels with snaps…can/do you ever attach the hook directly to the swivel snap combo, or do you tie leader on the snap or do you have to first tie a loop onto the leader/hook and then put the loop on the snap swivel? Just wasn’t quite sure how to set this up. Novice question I know. Thanks in advance…I am determined to make this a lifestyle but just beginning, something I can do with my kids, as they love it in the little fishing we have done…seen many successes thus far and a couple really slow days off the dock, some slow off surf. Erik

Moved to Seal Beach, Ca. Would like to surprise my husband with an inexpensive set-up. We have fished some 25 years ago in mid west ponds but have no equipment. So what do I need to get him. Pier fishing looks like fun and is only 1.3 miles from our new home.Please don’t me to ask other fishermen. He is always with me. He just retired and remarked when we went to eat at a resturant at the end of the pier that he would like to do this. Thanks so much. Joy

what kind of bait works the best for shark fishing in the pacific area on the pier?

Last summer my family and I went snorkeling in St. Joseph Bay on the Florida Panhandle. We were able to find, among other creatures, scallops, crabs, and (surprisingly to us) many sea urchins. We are going back this year to try our hands at fishing, and were wondering what type of bait we should use, and what kind of fish we can expect to catch. The water of the bay varies from just a few feet deep, even at some distance from the shore, to (I’m guessing) more than 50 feet deep, close to where the bay meets the Gulf. Sorry for the wordiness of this “question”!

Hi Dan! I have a question that is eating away at me…. I am looking to buy a Cape Coral canal lot on the “Enterprise Canal” off of Gleason Pkwy. Some have told me it is a freshwater canal, and others have told me is leads to the Gulf. I used Google Maps and it does seem to eventually lead out to open water after a very long series of going under bridges and twists and turns. Perhaps I overlooked something though. I wanted to know if you can give me the 100% correct answer… Doest this canal lead out to the river and Gulf? Thanks in advance! Brian

Some buddies and myself are going down to the keys in a few weeks. This will be the first time down there to actually fish. We’ve taken the boat (20′ bowrider) down there before with the wives, but now the men get to go and do some fishing. We’ll be in Key Colony Beach just above Marathon. I have a gps with the needed charts, and just got a hot spots map for a little insight, but now I guess I’m looking to you for some actual knowledge. Like I said, we’ll have a 20′ bowrider for a boat. I have 2 heavy saltwater rods with 80 and 100 lb test, as well as several medium duty rods that basically hold 20 lb test. This is our first time saltwater fishing on our own. Can you give me some pointers, such as riggings techniques, tackle, and lures? If we can actually bring fish home with us, the wives will have no choice but to agree to let us go every year. Thanks, Dan
