I'm from texas there are 3 types of kingfish all can be called whiting, northern, southern and gulf. Croakers actually make a cool croaking sound usually also. That looks like a southern one has the background stripe pastern. Squid will catch catfish, sharks and sometimes a drum mostly catfish though. If you want more fish like whiting rig with a small/er mutu light circle hook 1 or smaller(it can be tiny even like size 8 or 10 and use tiny pieces of fish bites. This works really good for taking kids fishing as the fish bites stay on and they will catch tons of fish. also good for catching some bait fish. Up the hook size for more eater size fish can do piece of fishbite with your shrimp or clams baits also would be good.
Hey man, I just wanna say thanks for all the videos. Like. All of them. From your gear that you use, to how to tie rigs. I've been using your tknot rigs and KILLIN' it on the NC coast with em. Nobody around me is catching fish except for me!! I throw 3 ft rods and I am learning to cast a 13 ft conventional for 8 and bait. Seriously man. I've learned a TON from you. Those double tknot rigs that you and your dad did a video on absolutely slaaaay! Everyone asks where I got them and it feels good to say, I made em and I learned how to tie em from HeySkipper on CZcams!! Bluefish, flounder just about everything hits on em. Thanks again man. I also wouldn't be able to cast these big surf rods if I hadn't watched your videos!!
Welcome to Texas! Sending love from the deep south in the RGV. So glad to have you at our beaches and I absolutely love you content! If your near drop by South Padre Island, we'd love to have you. You can bay fish or surfish. Much love Skipp! Also, fresh dead shrimp or live, work really well on the surf.
Living and loving Texas as I do. Hint for beach driving. 4X4 a must. Drive on the wet sand next to the surf. Stay off of the dry sand. You will get stuck in the dry sand !!!!! For Ronald K. below. Love Port A. Every kind of fishing you want to do.
Looks like Matagorda! Man so cool watching you fish our beaches!!! Keep up the good work!! Water can get nice at times down here right now it’s just very churned up. Cool video!!!
Mud minnows for Flounder and live shrimp on a popping cork for trout and Reds’ and half a blue crab for black drum work great in these waters!!!😎 you found out hard head catfish prefer squid Bob from TX
Welcome to Texas, lol hard heads are plenty. Try blue crab claws or fish bites for reds and black drum. Love watching your videos. Your Texas fishing license should allow you to keep 1 over sized red with a tag
Bro! I'm loving your content! Greetings from Puerto Rico! If you're ever visiting the island let me know, I'll show you the hottest spots to fish from!🤙🏽🎣
@@HeySkipper That would be nice, although I've never fished in the Island, only in Florida, Sebastian Inlet being my favorite spot. I'm subscribed to your channel for a few years and have learned a few things from you, like salting my bait 😁 Thanks for your videos, tips and tricks. Have you two tied the knot already? 😍 Keep those lines tight and keep us entertained Skipper 🙌🏻🌈🌞🎣🐟🎏🙋🏻♀️
You should check out PINS down near Corpus Christi! The water is much nicer, not brown at all, and you can drive on the beach until you're all alone for miles.
Channel is doing really well. Congratulations. Been with y’all from way back but it’s been a while. Left you a message on one of your shorts. Earlier. Glad to see you back in the algorithm. Oh. The cats. Was 4-5 with my father in hatteras .73-74 ish. Was different back then. We rented a room over a little bait shop. A last minute thing. I remember sneaking a bucket of small catfish in & putting them in the rusty old bath tub .while I was bathing. Dad wasn’t to happy with it but he had to get a laugh eventually. They went back in the bucket & the ocean. Lived. One of my earliest memories. Same weather y’all were fishing too. Y’all enjoy.
Haven’t been watching lately. No excuses, just hard when I know I’m not heading to the coast anytime soon. But now I’m thinking about it, and I see hey skipper tackle, you bet I’m gonna get some
Rule of thumb that I always used was, if the first fish I catch is a catfish I move spots. But then again I haven’t fished the gulf in over 5years, and I live in Austin TX. 😭😭😭
The upper Texas coast is quire often dirty, only a nice southeast breeze brings us nice water. The further south you head the chances of finding nice water clarity exists.
red fish in the surf - its a right of passage here in TX! Dude, they are killing it on 91st street pier in Galveston........ lots of bull reds, need to get out further.
I always air down! With deflators it literally takes 2 minutes. By the time I put the last deflator on the first is done! Takes as long as it does to walk around the truck! I go down to 18 lbs on my Tacoma. Also turn. off the trac control. Of course I do have the advantage that all the DE beaches have air stations. I've always been told to avoid 4W LO unless you're rock climbing or something
My brother and I are big fans of your channel, and I can tell you I grew up on South Padre Island, and now live in Houston…you will not find better fishing waters either for surf, or bay than South Padre Island, cleaner, period!
I'm from Corpus Christi Tx and I've always wondered how you would do fishing down here with the way you fish. If your in this area you have to fish the P.I.N.S. if your fishing the beach look for washouts in the sandbars to fish and live mullet is king for bait here. The driving portion has me messed up when you said head further down South for clearer water and by the video footage your driving North.
Be happy what you catch coz other people arent that lucky to catch a Catfish that big. No matter what kind of edible fish you catch, still a fresh fish. Have a great fishing day.
Thanks for the tips! I love watching your videos. I get a lot of ideas in saltwater fishing easpecially here in Qatar that it's difficult to catch big fish.😊
Next time you’re in Texas near Houston hit me up, October is great bull redfish and big shark time! We fish a pier in a Galveston that produces some good times! We will show you a good time and get you hooked up!
Here in South Africa we catch those catfish in dirty water as well, a real pain but to clean but taste pretty good. Give it a try. The old fisherman believed that you use them for bait as they dont eat their own kind🤷♂️
I dont think that salt is necessary for squids. No matter how big are they or small either. In Greece we usually use salt in order to conserve stale baits such as sardines and fishes that melt on your hands. With salt you lose all the juices of your fresh bait that feeds your fishing area. Good videos, love from Greece and may you have always great catches !
Awesome, I am very excited to watching your vidios bro. 😁 thanks for good Content, I send my greeting from Batam Island Indonesia, you have to try catch fish here 😄
Welcome to texas! Y’all should try fishing down in south padre island much more cleaner water on low wind days jetties and the surf are good, also you can go to the other side of the inlet in boca chica beach aka where spaceX is located or you can drive south on the boca chica beach and fish on the border where the rio grande meets the gulf!
26:51 kingfish In Argentina we call them Burriqueta. the whiting call them Pescadilla and the croaker call them Roncadora (Cria de Corvina Rubia) Matias From Argentina.
In the mid 90's I was working on a headboat in eastern NC I was bitten by a 4ft black tip shark on my left calf I was lucky it did not bite me very hard if it had the bite could have been very bad. Nice Red in NC we have to use only circle hooks when fishing for red fish I use them for everything now.
Yep, I drove down PINS to the 20 mile marker a couple weeks ago and never even put my truck in 4wd. The real trick is to check the tide tables ahead of time and plan to drive down when the tide is going out or at the lowest point for the day so you can drive on the hard wet sand.
must be fishing in Galveston beaches, they're always muddy looking. come fish in SPI we got clear water down here. great surf fishing here with live shrimp

@DynaMoe miss you bro lol! #Hammer
The further south you go on the Texas gulf coast the clearer it becomes. Still has its brown days a lot but blue/green water days happen often too
I never knew there are salt water catfish. I would've kept all those catfish and braised them in a clay pot Vietnamese style. Sooo delicious!!!
Don’t reply to the scam that’s not Hey Skipper. It’s scammer wanting you to send money for shipping.
The catfish in Texas are edible but you have to be careful Because they can make you sick. They have a slime on their skin that’s toxic
lol you would probably only do that once....hardheads dont taste very good..gaft topsails are better
Oh ya there’s lots of catfish in saltwater not as good tasting as fresh water catfish
Everybody seems to hate catching salt water catfish because the apparently don't taste very good.
Mud minnows for Flounder and live shrimp on a popping cork for trout and Reds’ and half a blue crab for black drum work great in these waters!!!😎 you found out hard head catfish prefer squid Bob from TX
love how he left the cat fish on the hook for a good while lol😂😂 but great vid gotta love Texas
lol didn’t mean to
I was cracking up at that to!
Welcome to Texas, lol hard heads are plenty. Try blue crab claws or fish bites for reds and black drum. Love watching your videos. Your Texas fishing license should allow you to keep 1 over sized red with a tag
I was thinking the same thing mine does an I usually buy an extra tag or 2
Bro! I'm loving your content! Greetings from Puerto Rico! If you're ever visiting the island let me know, I'll show you the hottest spots to fish from!🤙🏽🎣
Wow that is awesome! What part should I come visit? Message me on Instagram!
John, I'm in Puerto Rico and I haven't had much luck fishing in the north from Levittown to Dorado. I hope you can give me some tips on where to fish.

The best show out there.
great to see u hit the beach action again always awesome to see you land those redfish! they look so fun to catch from the beach
Everytime I watch your videos, I learn new things for fishing. Thanks for sharing bro, much love from Philippines.
Good red fish. 20 to 28 inch red fish and you can keep one over 28 inches and a total of three max. If you're are wanting whiting use fish bites.
Texas Nation where are yal'l at 💪🤠
Woop!
Teeny tiny itty bitty squid!!! Oh boy!!! That’s for me!!! Great video!!!
thank you senior for the feedback recommendation,,,,, I like your channel 😊😊 greetings from me (Indonesia)
See the notification immediately slides to watch the excitement of the fishing video, waiting for the next video, friends
Welcome to Texas. Go to port aransas texas (jettis). I love your videos
Just for future reference, the wild south is YEEEE YEEEE

Definitely a Whiting You missed so many bites when you weren't paying attention and I thought for sure you were gonna lose your fishing pole
I was trying to get his attention watching the video haha…
Me too lol !
“Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !”
Omg skipper I was dying every time you missed that rod being pulled. Try some bells 🔔 more bells more fish👍🏽
Please make some surf "shark" fishing content📣📣📣📣 this will spice up the channel alot... alot of us viewers love shark fishing
It's dangerous tho
@@yiqnni9789 fishing in general is dangerous...
My brother and I are big fans of your channel, and I can tell you I grew up on South Padre Island, and now live in Houston…you will not find better fishing waters either for surf, or bay than South Padre Island, cleaner, period!
That’s true Mr. Garza but lots of people still get confused with Padre Island “corpus” and South Padre Island
Yeah, I live in Brownsville. Go to spi several times a week!
Please come further south! We have the Laguna madre, and South Padre Island! I’ll be more than happy to tell you/show you some spots!
RGV fishing 🎣
umbrina has a dream 🐟🎣🥇. 👏😁
Catfish like muddy water! Luv you guys wish I were there!

Sand is always stirred up in the gulf of Texas, sometimes it'll clear up a little bit mainly a brownish color 🤗🤗
Great video!! That may be a California Corbina.
Be one with the Earth! That is your slogan brother! 👌👍
Granny watching from Tacoma, Washington. Love you guys, whole family. Makes me feel like I’m out there with you. Thanks.
Be happy what you catch coz other people arent that lucky to catch a Catfish that big. No matter what kind of edible fish you catch, still a fresh fish. Have a great fishing day.
Catfish are best at locating strong smelling bait like squid in dirty water, hence they often get caught first. Pest fish here in OZ
Awesome video ya should visit south padre island it’s on fire,reds and drum are hitting like crazy
Man I wish we could!!!!!
Another Nice Red.
Great to see you video fishing
You did not mention that you should let air out of your tires to app. 18-20 lbs for better traction and always carry a shovel, just in case...
Love how much fun Y'all Have!! Very entertaining!!!
dude I just wanna go fishing so bad😂😂😂. especially if you guys are still here❤
i miss your live video anyway still watching even 5days ago
Thanks for the tips! I love watching your videos. I get a lot of ideas in saltwater fishing easpecially here in Qatar that it's difficult to catch big fish.😊
Next time you’re in Texas near Houston hit me up, October is great bull redfish and big shark time! We fish a pier in a Galveston that produces some good times! We will show you a good time and get you hooked up!
Another great video...U have good patience and tolerance I curse Hardheads out before I throw them back...Welcome to Texas....
Might double check those catfish recipes. I know millions of people here in the Midwest love eating catfish.
Very entertaining, clocked 1 hour on the treadmill just like that. 🙌
Nice one 👍
i swear every time your fishing and as your walking away you always getting a bit with out noticing the fish is picking on the bait lol🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Here in South Africa we catch those catfish in dirty water as well, a real pain but to clean but taste pretty good. Give it a try. The old fisherman believed that you use them for bait as they dont eat their own kind🤷♂️
Texas surf during low tide = Hardhead catfish, every time.
Those catfish are some of the tastiest fish. Just cut it carefully behind the dorsal spine pin.
I would love to have those catfish in our beaches...hahahah
Brendon you should make mini squidie bits. Like salted mini squids.
King of the Hardheads
🔥🔥🔥awesome videos thanks for sharing
Nice buddy and always enjoyed watching your videos!
those catfish's egg was extremely delicious
Try to set a fisher ring bell so you won't miss the bite when fishing with multiple rods and is good to use gloves as well. Love your videos.
That's Galveston for you!
Great video and love using squid ocean fishing is the best
I dont think that salt is necessary for squids. No matter how big are they or small either. In Greece we usually use salt in order to conserve stale baits such as sardines and fishes that melt on your hands. With salt you lose all the juices of your fresh bait that feeds your fishing area.
Good videos, love from Greece and may you have always great catches !
I Hope you can do Big fishes fishing Like shark Sting ray And alligator gar Even though you do everything but it will be fun 🙂
Always love your excitement!!!
Awesome, I am very excited to watching your vidios bro. 😁

Hi skipper and Erin another great day for 🎣 trips stay safe out there bro regard
That's good bait fish for those big reds or sharks
26:51 kingfish In Argentina we call them Burriqueta.
the whiting call them Pescadilla and
the croaker call them Roncadora (Cria de Corvina Rubia)
Matias From Argentina.
You should have gone to penn beach, past the 25 marker. Depending on the weather the water gets clear. And way better fish!
Great video nice red
I love your videos guys I live on palos verdes California and there’s no fish over here that’s sad
Nice day on the surf!

Nice Red in NC we have to use only circle hooks when fishing for red fish I use them for everything now.
Closer to the water is what I would do when it got real soft
