Bama Beach Bum14:53

Transcription

What is up, beach bums? Man, I am in Melbourne, Florida. We're getting started; this is our first afternoon of fishing. I'm hanging out with Caleb to tour, check him out, popping our eggs by couture, and this, this way, Dusty Hayes. We're about to get set up. They've been catching a lot of pompano out here, which is a little bit earlier than we catch pompano. Fingers crossed on possibly hooking a permit, but we're just getting warmed up today. We're just getting started. Tomorrow, we're really gonna put in a lot of time. We just got into town today.

This video is sponsored by Fish Bites. Fish Bites is a bait company. They have a whole lineup of easy baits that are sent in from everything from bloodworm to sand flea. They have all kinds of colorful combinations, but they also have their Fish Bites Fight Club lures. You can check those out; they have all different kinds of soft plastics for inshore fishing. Be sure to check them out. I do have a link to their website below. I use Fish Bites pretty much every day I'm on the beach. You've got to have them; they're great for pompano, but everything eats them. Trust me, I've called tons of fish on Fish Bites. I actually have an entire video series where all I did for an entire week was fish with Fish Bites. I'll put a link to that in the description as well.

Well, let's get a fishing. Oh yeah. [Music] [Music] That's how he cut them; they were kind of angled. I don't think I'm doing it exactly like he does it, but it's close enough. I prefer when you let a golf coaster cut East Coasters fish bite. It looks like crap, yeah, but hey, it's always interesting to see what other people do. Yeah, just because how do you do it, don't mean it's right everywhere. Maybe for us, yeah, man. Yeah, variety. The shrimp is the route to please. We got some live please. I got some Fish Bites, so that's good. Jasper, yeah, shrimps like home, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all we do. I thought you have like, it's elephants, do we, being here that this is one left pocket, yeah, out of the dryer and everything right there. Oh, baby. Yeah, they laughs. Yeah, here, well, here we'll get some chomp going for them. There, we're fishing. Dusty, grab the rod. He got it. First fish of the day, it's out there outside. We got a block of ice. You know, I get away from a little bit too aggressive on, on the reel, but it's okay. I never felt, it's not your fault. You blew it. Yeah, suicide. Yeah, well, it's like regardless, thunk out there. Good man. We got fish, shellfish, elpizo. I don't know if he's there. Yeah, he's not there like normally what I tell, it's Dusty, c'mere. Everything like you said, everyone fish is different. Sure, maybe it won't work the same. That's like what you guys do there, cuz you use it a smaller, lighter setup now what we're doing here. It's normally, and even when I do it, I rarely ever will take the rod either odd or unless I know I'll play that bum pretty good. You start reeling before you take it out. Yeah, it's not even that, but what I'll do is I'll do this like noggin slam a one-two it instantly, and I'll just start real. So when this rod gets it off but one hand right here and keep the rock to the slows again, you know, just, just sink nice and steady. You know what I'm saying? You just want to make sure that there's weight on the other end. You know, sometimes you might not feel like they're there. Sure, you know, it's just the omission looking to fly them right, and then sometimes, you know, you'll be like, oh, he's not there, he's actually running out, you know, you need to pick it up a little bit. You'll kind of know and be able to tell. So me and Dusty were for two now. Yeah, we saw we do suck. Caleb is trying to tell us what to do, but we're from Alabama; we like to catch for use, you know, that's right. So we get excited about things. Wait, we are hooked on there. We go. Yeah, we're hooked. These, oh, now we got him now. First pitch of the day, how to get Kayla to do some coaching so that we knew what we were doing here. Yeah, I mean it must account Perdido Key, which I guess technically for late, this is actually my first offense the golf, you know, Joseph in, I saw. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, man. Beautiful. Look at that Sun on them. Yeah, it's gorgeous. Hey-ya is going back. Hey, we got a fish. Blue, is that a blue? All right, there we go. Dusty's first fish over here. Sorry, does see would be better if we were like New Jersey's. Right, right, right. A little blue. Yeah, that's what was definitely pecking at us there. He called them a cocktail blue. Cocktail blue. I don't know why. Yeah, I'll have to investigate that one. There you go, dude. Yeah, we got one. There you go. Little bit yours might, well, it might be right at the same size, maybe a little bit bigger, man. Here's hooks like a pipo, popipo. He's missing part of his tail. Yeah, bluefish probably got him.
