BRIDGE MONSTERS! - Jumbo Sheepshead Fishing & A SURPRISE CATCH!
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- We made a little stop at the Chesapeake Bay on my way north and decided to jig for flounder and sheepshead. Fishing was pretty tough but I tried my best this outing. I worked fiddler crabs and chunks of blue crabs all around the bridge pilings for a few sheepshead, a monster black drum, and a small eater size drum too!

The lock system in baldwinsville NY has the largest sheep heads I’ve ever caught. About 1999 or so there were absolute monsters living there.
Hope to see you come back to VA sometime! Maybe chase some big Cobia on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel! I moved to this area shortly after this video was posted. Love to see some giants being pulled by a Long Island kayak legend haha.
I use fresh clam for both species here in NC. If you can find large clams you can get two baits out of the one clam. Try to cut the clam were you have the same amount of muscle on each piece then try to get th point of the hook through the muscle twice when baiting. You don't need a tool to open the clams just put one in each palm of your hands and smash them together. One will break and just use your finger like a spoon to dip the meat out. For the black drum find deeper water, maybe 15 ft or deeper, around the structure to keep the pinfish off the bait. For the sheepshead always bounce the bait off the bottom right up against the pylon you are fishing. This keeps the trash fish off the bait even in shallow water. The sheepshead attack the clam with no picking on it like a catfish. They basically hang themselves. I caught a 15.5 pound sheep in the summer of 1998 in 4ft of water near south port nc.
God! Never seen that big sheepshead. I crossed that area several times, but never had a chance. Good job.
I’m so hungry- that throwing back that sheep head back into the water gave me death chills !! 😂
I was born and raised on the islands on the eastern shore of the Bay Bridge-Tunnel half my family work there I just grew up on fish and crab and hunting deer hunting duck hunting
Dude you could open a seafood store with everything you catch all the time. Love your videos.
Keep them coming! You are literally my favorite thing to watch. Period.
Thanks man!
@@EliasVFishing Great video. What power rod are you using for this video
5:40 ish. Surprise catch. I'm waiting on a shark to blow up. You dudes are nuts. Awesome fishing. Gotta be fun out there under that bridge.
As soon as u said crabs and jig heads and almost addicting I said almost ? It’s supper addictive ! u said it right after ! 😭 the crabs are prime bait man there like gold out here in Stuart Florida !
You and Field Trips should do a meet up!!
God I love these videos I've seen like 20 today alone he's got such a. Chill personality and he's just fun to watch go fishing he has good angle on the rods so you feel the action absolute quality videos
Thanks dude!
EliasVFishing thanks for responding it's cool to be able to talk to guy I watch haha you really make me take the family out yoire responsible for new jersey trips with my wife thanks for that
Very cool to see you fishing in my neck of the woods at the CBBT. Have been watching your videos even more since you moved south. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man
That’s so sick. I catch scup on Long Island and they fight pretty good for their size. Can’t imagine how hard a sheepshead pulls
nice sheeps and black drum, great video
Welcome back to the big city. . We saved some blues for you. . And traffic
Plenty of traffic....
EliasVFishing I would love if you could show the dept finder structure you're with fishing with your camera.. I'm a Brooklyn boy that loves your videos
We love Sheepshead!!! Those were some bridge monsters! Right on! Great vid! 👍👍
I've set up a 5'6" heavy catfish rod with a Daiwa 120UL triggerspin reel spooled with 20lb mono.
I'm going to try to connect a sheepshead.
I would had keep those big sheepsheads and make a catch and cook video great video I loved it 🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice video. Beautiful fish.
MODEL , POWER AND LENGHT OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ROD....PLEASE ?
Them were some nice fish
Cara nota 10...
Super like...
Só peixão , sera que vc poderia colocar a lubragem da vara?
De qualquer forma um abraço.
Where did you get the fiddler crab again?
Elias, will you please do a video with Mario when you return to New York. Your video's with him are awesome.
I love fighting fish on flexible rods.. makes the 'catch' last longer and more exciting..
stateniland you're right but to hear moaning and groaning like a huge shark is being pulled in just strange for me to hear. I catch really large red drums and black drums and you wouldn't know but only because the rod is doubled over. Ha ha ha no need for vocal enhancement 😂
I hear U
Great vid! I love fishing down at the Bay bridge tunnel.
Man what a day of fishing! You killed it bro
Great vid as always!
Like these kind of travel vids. Interesting, enjoyable and different. Nice work.
Thanks!!
Does the drum fish taste better than the sheep head?
dude youre living the dream life awesome stuff
What are you using to transport your kayaks. Ive never seen a set up like this!
Hey Elias! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also this video was really awesome. You are a good fisherman and the fish you caught in this video were so awesome. That is the biggest drum I have ever seen except the red fish drum but yeah awesome catch on that one. Then those sheep heads were really big also but that last sheep head you caught was so big that was a great catch Elias. Wonderful job Elias and I loved this video. Anyway you and your family have a blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎆🎊
Nice work!
Hoping Rob can get me on one of those this season. Sheepies and Black Drum are on my bucket list!
Rob=Legend
Really enjoying your videos I’m staying at Holden beach for the week lots of rain fishing not so good always fun
Yeah rough weather in Carolina this week
I use to have a minnow bucket like that but it was made by Plano
Nice video. Going to enjoy your road trip & seeing you back in NYC! Music was tasteful. Thanks.
Thanks Bob, stuff coming from your neck thanks again.
nice one!
During 10:00 Minutes, I Really Liked That Fish. By The Way, Very Enjoyable Fishing Video, Thanks For Adding.
Could you do a video on your rack and kayak holding system?
That looks like so much fun great video 🖒🖒🖒
Yo Chesapeake is my home town that tunnel/seagulls pier is awesome had some good times there overnight fishing!!!
Does anyone fish the ocean side of the Eastern Shore? In all those islands and sheltered bays seems there would be some good fishing.
Very Nice
It's like bream fish
Elias v i have to thank you....OMG i watched you trash fish cooking series and decided to try sea robin. This is one of the least tasting fishy of fish ever! i fish out of Raritan bay, sure you know where that is, and have threw so many back. i would have never thought to try this unless for you! I made mine with a batter of shredded coconut and fried it and holy hell was this fish good ! My father of 45+ plus years balked at the idea, but is now i favorite fish and so does he!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah sea robin ain’t bad!
Fun video Elias! Enjoyed it.
Great video ! Could you tell me more on that kayak rack on your truck?
Nice but why not use a conventional reel and a rod with more backbone? Seems like a better approach when bottom fishing pilings.
Great video man, we'll be towing the boat down for a few days in june for cobia/sheeps, did you try fishing the jig up the water column at all or just on the bottom? Seems the only time to get to jig fish at cbbt is on a slow tide, that water moves.
Nice video! I noticed you don't seem to have any sort of flotation devices like Savour products, or pool noodles around any of your poles or net, have you ever lost gear? Are you worried about that happening at all? I'm new to kayak fishing and still learning stuff, and my gear is all pretty inexpensive compared to yours (I think my poles would have snapped at those fish in the ocean!). Thanks for posting!
Something eerie about being under a bridge especially that size.
I hate being under bridges. Too much noise and exhaust.
glad you catch and releace nice man wishevery body would do it RESPECT SIR
Yeah and only eat unsustainably mass produced beef and chicken
That big Sheepie was a beast. I do love eating them, but probably would have let that beast go as well.
Hey Elias , what size hook & style do you use for sheep heads.
awesome video!!
Man that looked like a good time. Are drum that size good eating?
i stay in vb area... i have been wanting to fish that bridge on my kayak but whats the best place to launch from.
Hey what day were you out? I think I may have seen you from the bridge
Where is this bridge?
Awesome video. Hey man, don’t forget about the freshwater fishing here in nc. I don’t know if you’ve ever eaten a flathead catfish, but it’s right there with flounder imo. Maybe even better. Good luck!
I hear flathead is delicious. Not too sure if cape fear is a clean body of water or not to harvest a flathead. Hearing mixed things.
EliasVFishing I don’t ever eat any over about 10 lbs for that reason. Probably the safe thing to do on any body of water. You get plenty of meat off of a 6-10 lb flathead any way.
Awesome fish man. Lol he said oh son big fish. I love sheepys. Local on OBX come hit the inlet bridge. Fish on
love your videos Bro awesome job :)
nice bro love the vids u should come down and fish with us in new smyrna beach during the mullet run love kayaking the inlet big reds that time of year and Mosquito lagoon
Awsome video as always elias!
Loved the video. The music, not so much. That second sheep was a monster.
I like.
Great Vid. As usual
Hi
Nice video & good fishing
Regards,
What shop did you buy the fiddlers from?
Monster sheep head man !
What dates are you thinking to be in NYC area?
Something else besides shephead
Aqui no Brasil, esse Caiaque na lateral do Veículo é multa.
I love this man
Great great action. Its a good thing to be addicted to. What do you like about the Dark Matter Rod. My friend just bought one of your tsunami coastal rods from J&H
Best MF power rod, great for the subtle sheepshead fishing stuff
Man you had to stink after landing that black drum lol
I hate u guys that can ocean inlet fish. 🙈. But u got me to go fishing on this hot day, love your video thanks, Ty.
I so wish I could afford one of them nice kayaks. All I have is a sundolphin 10ss.
I SAW YOU IN ITHACA TODAY!!!!! I hope
Fantastic 💕💕💕💕
I would be afraid that when you lay them on your leg it would chomp down. Those are some gnarly teeth! Also on a unrelated subject. I woke up this morning nice and early saw your video and started watching. In the middle of the vid I was like, I should be out fishing instead of watching you fish lol
What’s ur set up?
Looks like I-83 at its finest
How far north do sheephead live? Always enjoy your vids especially catch n cooks, thanks.
seththebard goatsghost can get them in ny but got to work hard at em and know when they come in
Montauk as far as they go
Giants
You sound like the guy from The New Yankee Workshop

Sorry to say I love fishing, but your fast head moves made me seasick, it could be nice if you set your cam on some place where things doesn't move faster than your head. :-P
Where you launch from ?
What's black fishing
What drag setting you use for this trip?
Relatively light one. Fishing 15lb braid from yak
Back on those slabs ha?
Do you ever fish with sea money any more
Dude you eat the sheep alot better than drum
Would love to see you make toad fish civeche
