    Good eating size slot red there. Throw some medium size mullet cut in half with a 3-4oz spider weight for some bull reds and black drum. Bull reds will fight like Mike Tyson, but black drum give up pretty quick. You can upgrade to 30-50lb gear and pull 6-7 sharks out of the surf.

    @BraddaAllBussMokuNui would love to. Live on oahu now so hopefully I can get a chance to fish for them. I see them fisihng for em off the rocks all the time. what do you guys use to catch em?

  6. eddie978n says:

    @balla32636 Just a 4-8oz spider weight and fresh shrimp or mullet. I use those two hook lines with the weight on the bottom. keeps your baits a foot or two out of the mud.

    Nice going Man. But when holding a Trout, make sure your hands are wet if you’re releasing it, and it was unfortunate you didn’t get anything surf size, because those fish are all bay size. You have the dedication, keep it up man, Fishing is the best, Especially in texas.

    cool. im on a quest to catch a shark too from the surf. but im down in galveston. so far ive lost 2 sharks cause i kept my drag to loose, but now i learned to keep it tight. ive reeled in mullet heads, and its made me angry.

  16. OGWEASEL says:

    Cool man….I love to fish matagorda and surfside beach. But you really need a fishing buddy if you are going to be on the beach alone at night, there are some crazy people that cruz the beaches at night just looking for trouble. My buddy is my son and 40 cal SW lol.

    I am from Burkburnett Texas, but during these videos I was stationed at fort Hood in Killeen. Right now though I am stationed in Hawaii, but cant wait to get back to texas! The surf fishing here in Hawaii blows!
