About 35 years ago, I was fishing that same spot at the boat cut, even the same direction. About my 5th cast, I got spooled. Never even had a chance to click the drag on. My line broke off with about 20' of line left on my reel. I packed plenty of lures, etc, but no line. I had to walk all the way back to the bait camp and buy some line. Ended up walking back out to the boat cut for the second time that day. I'm 64 now, and can't walk on uneven ground because of my knees. Thanks for the trip back in time for me.
robertintexas WOW!! Must have been a big one. Awesome to hear your story and that I could take you back.
Kagen Fishing my favorite place to go,I don’t go as often as I used to.next time you go let me know I have a particular spot where is full of flounder I will show it to you with the only lure that I use so you can make another video you won’t be disappointed!
J D we are not working next weekend, is it a good day ( Saturday) for you? We usually walk good 35 minutes in but it’s worth it; let me know.
robertintexas WOW, talk about remembering. I used to fish Galveston bay until I moved away. That was over thirty years ago. I can’t wait to get back out there. Especially since the take limit has gone back up to five flounders. I wasn’t driving from Dallas to Galveston for two (maybe) fish.
Like I said, it’s been awhile. I used to go every October.
Thank you for making full disclosure on your fishing sites. Shows confidence in your abilities and you really serve your subscribers. MOST of those putting videos up don’t reveal their fishing spots and STILL ask for “patrons” to send money. I deliberately seek others who have the same level of confidence as yourself and delete those who don’t.
Ron Forrester thanks for the huge compliment! Fish move around it’s all about knowing how to find them! Also this is my hobby so I’m just able to show what I love to people that love to do the same!
I hear you. After your reply, I know more about you. I have a deep appreciation of competent people. I’ve worked with people since I was 12 yrs old. I have businesses in 14 countries and 1000’s of people I work with over the past 39 yrs. I make my living working with people. what am I saying? I know people and I know competence. You will win at any endeavor you undertake. I’ve been fishing since I was 5 yrs old, 67 yrs now. I know I will catch fish when I wet a line. I have no fear of that. You don’t either. Simply put, I would bet, you and I go “catching” not “fishing.” I appreciate your transparency. Thank you for the reply.
Congrats on making it to the boat cut. Take my word for it"don't try that hike in July".
Maybe with a backpack containing a gallon milk jug of frozen ice , perhaps....lol...yo , in Galveston
Today I was talking about going saltwater fishing with my friends there and now I get to see a ground view, thanks
I love that shaking feeling after a big hook up.
I did that hike one day, all the way to the cut, what impress me, a mexican couple loaded out with back pack, rods, cooler made it out
there an hour after I arrived. I applauded his wife, she was heavy set no too, they sat for 30 minutes before casting out their first
rod. I gave them all my fish I caught, when I asked them when they plan on going back, they said the next day! After leaving I gave
them all my water, food, and wished them the best. I believe it was in late June too, hot, hot, and hot.
That’s one heck of an adventure to stay all night out on jetty rocks like that! It’s an adventure just hiking out there but dang.
North jetty was one of my favorite spots to fish when I lived in Galveston. Lots of trout, croaker, reds, small sharks, stingray, and especially gafftop... lol
Hello Ericd when I get of the ferry how to get to the north jetty?
@@davidnguon6972 Drive a couple miles down and turn right on 17th street. Easy to find on google maps... Just don't park in front of the bait shop.
Thicker than I though it would be, perfect cheap surf rod. Paired with a 6000 size penn pursuit. Perfect.
I used to go to that spot as a kid. Good spot for crabs
Nice video. I fish Galveston A lot also I never realized you could walk all the way to the end. Cool.
I've cought huge black drum there, its a good place
That monster that got away is the perfect excuse to go back. And you didn't get skunked so i'd say good job.
Wow. You’ve definitely got me hooked. 😍
That definitely looks like a awesome structure to fish from.....
Big ups on the effort!!!
When I was much younger (1960's) I caught Tarpon from the Jetty from time to time.
Neat seeing this video. I used to fish that area way back in the early 80's. Huge reds there. I used to catch a lot of small jacks, too. There were also schools of Spanish mackerel that would just devastate your line.
I've been wanting to go to the north jetty for a while. Used to go all the time in the boat, don't have my boat anymore.
Name change worked, subscribed brother
"Finger blast that like button" 😂 had to subscribe after that!
Fished the fishing pier in Galveston for about three years. Caught one red and hundreds of whiting. Great fun catching them, but the reds don't run there because I believe the water nears the city is not clean enough for them.
Cool, dude!
New sub here from Come On Reds Fishing! Wish we wouldve seen that biggun that broke off
Man tell me about it! Thanks for subscribing! I have a great video for next week so stay tuned!
The walk back is the most brutal. My dad and I walked out there and on the way back I ended up having to carry all our take and gear cause he almost didnt make it back. Got skunked that day so I know what u mean by almost regretting the walk
Nice vid!! I've always wanted to hit up that jetty. Maybe soon!
Great video mate. Earned my sub.
Noah Cummings thanks!
0:30 they were CATfishing lol
I'm not that familiar with Galveston. I got there after Ike hit and stayed one block from the 3005 in Sea Isle in West End. I loved it there. Even though the city was devastated, I had the time of my life. I hope to go back and hang out at The Spot and 11 Oaks bar ( I think that's what it's called)
Got my dog Rocky from some dope fiends in Jamaica Beach. Rocky is still hanging strong.
Excellent fishing video on the Galveston North jetty. Like 496. New here #1882.Watched fully
I did the same thing in Galveston and slipped on algae on one of the rocks. Scrapped my leg BAD. Lucky I didn’t die.
J Peach that feeling when your whole leg is submerged under the rocks is terrifying. Luckily my leg didn’t get stuck, otherwise I would’ve been stuck for possibly hours.
I'll be there in November hopefully I'll be able to go fishing but I wana target the black tip
Nice vid bro! You probly hooked into a big bull
I caught my PB Bull Red on North Jetty it was 52 and 1/4 inches it was huge
Nice video ever consider doing a catch and cook
I’ve done some in the past
BTW, I almost fish exclusively for flounder now. I fished off the bank on Feb. 7th and caught 8, but they were all between 12"-13 3/4" The bigger fish are still in the gulf doing their mating thing, I guess.
I live in Colorado and would like to flounder fish. Do they also spawn in September?
Flounder season starts after the first cold front. Usually November.
Awesome fishing man! Hey would you help me by letting me know how to get to the north jettie on boat?? Just got a boat and hear there's good fishing out there, want to take the kids. I usually launch on 61st and go under causeway and fish there or back by gulfcopper. Would be a big help if you could show me. Thanks in advance! Keep on fishing!
There is a launch right at the base of the north jetty on the bolivar side to save motor run time or you can launch at causeway on the Galveston side and run back under causeway, follow intercostal to the main ship channel and run down to the jetties
@@KagenFishing awesome! Thanks!
When I get of the ferry how to get to the place you fishing at call the north jetty?
Just google map Galveston north jetty and the pin will drop right at the start for ya.
Good video. Just subscribed to your channel
Awesome thanks!
What does the rule board said at the entrance of the jetty? Can you pull a wheel fishing cart? What other stuffs can't you bring to the jetties? thks
Quoc Nguyen I don’t recall what it says but I’m sure you can but a cart. Concrete part doesn’t last long though then it goes to just rocks.
Have you fish Frenchtown Rd. ? Alot of flounder on the marsh side of the bridge
Nappy Locs I can’t say that I have but I will have to give it a shot for sure! Thanks for the tip!
Kagen Fishing Frenchtown Rd is gonna be your first left when you get off of the ferry big reds, trout, smacks, & flounder run through there
Maybe next time when you walk all the way out there use the right equipment like a proper reel you might catch something
I was just out there my first time
Googan
What was the neon green lure you used?
It was a Gulp swimming minnow.
Was this on Bolivar side?
Still staking out areas in Galveston but haven’t gone to north jetty yet. How’s the parking there?
Ron Tarvin parking is fine. The ground is packed. I wouldn’t leave it there overnight though haha.
Good Ole boy just fishing doesn't get any better than that. FYI don't bring a bait caster to a saltwater fish fight LOL
Ritchie Fierros yah I was underpowered for the trip but was still a blast!
Hey whats goin on man, that looks like a good spot to try, ive been to the spot off in east beast all the way to the left if you walk a little further theres a spot there as well, how would u get to north spot if im comin from houston
Darkwolf91 google map search Galveston north jetty
Wow really lol didnt think it was that easy to find on the maps 😆 appreciate it bro
Darkwolf91 happy to share!
If you don't mind a walk I know a spot that never fails
Kenny Cooper obviously I don’t mind a walk if I’m going to go all the way out on the jetty.
Have you ever fished the Bolivar Flats just East of the jetty? You casted a few on this trip to the east but the wife and I are going to camp the beach for our anniversary in a couple weeks and just curious how that area looked or fished?
Darren Miller I haven’t been there in a while but it mimics the gulf clarity. It’s a nice beach area and the flat is huge to fish on.
@@KagenFishing Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes. My wife is excited to use her saltwater license for the first time, so hopefully we can hook into something and I'm going to start posting my fishing/hunting videos. I just got hooked on your skiff videos last week and it's been hard to get work done! You've produced some great videos.
I’m going on there in 2 weeks any good spots you would recommend?
Thanks 🙏
Jesse A, the spot that I pointed out and switched to the map toward beach side where a deeper gut seemed to be produced a trout. I would fish that for sure
Kagen Fishing awesome! How would I get there off of the sea wall?
You have to take the ferry over to bolivar. It’s the north jetty. Google maps is a good resource. There is a bait shop that you can park at and walk straight out.
Kagen Fishing sounds good! You ever fish rollover pass?
Yup I sure do.
I am subscribed and watch your videos, you're doing a great job.
I just have one question... Why the channel name change? In It To Limit was a really cool badass channel name
I appreciate the support and I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! The reason for the name change was an experiment with CZcams algorithms to see if having fishing in my channel name helped get my videos to be seen more in searches dealing with fishing. I really liked inittolimit also but I was going on the premise of keep it simple. To my surprise the name change has actually brought in a lot more views on my videos.
@@KagenFishing makes sense, keep up the great work
You came up on my search. Guess it worked. Subscribed
Do you only fish the Galveston area?
Mike Martin Jr. I fish other places along the Texas gulf coast like Sabine, trinity and Freeport. It’s just that Galveston is very close to my place of residence and makes it more convenient and easier to fish more often. I have yet to make a trip down to Matagorda bay but I plan to in the near future.
@@KagenFishing please do. I will show you the area
Kagen Fishing you should try fishing Matagorda bay near Sargent Tx. I catch tons of reds and snappers but mostly trout!
@@pattyleabo426 that's my home. Lol
Patrick Leabo I have been wanting to get down there for a while. Plans are in the works for a trip though!
Can I ask why do you reel in so fast when you hook a fish. Im not being critical but everything about such a rapid wind in seems counter productive to me. If the fish is big then you are going to bump it off by winding so fast.
Ian Gray Everyone has their own style of fishing and I guess that’s just how I feel more in control of the fish. I have my drag set so that if it was a big fish and wanted to run it would keep constant pressure on the hook while letting it wear itself out. With the smaller guys if they come up to top and I can ski them back to me that just saves time and more time I have the lure out looking for a bigger fish.
That’s bolivar. Not Galveston
What time of the year was this ?
Benito Barrios late fall right before when it really started getting cold so early to mid November? I found the video and I just hadn’t done anything with it so I made the video
Ah ok I'm not from that area Iv been to Galveston but never to fish I know about that big jetty but never been on it either not to familiar with Galveston I live close to POC
can some one give me the address cuz idk where this is at
That's on the seawall..?
Can you hook me up with the address for this place? I always fish in freeport and Texas city and i want to start fishing at galveston too
Just type into google maps Galveston north jetty and it should drop you a pin right on it.
Even better search north jetty bait camp and you can park right there
@@KagenFishing thanks
I always fish the Freeport jetty too. I will try this Galveston jetty pretty soon .
filthy brown water... strike one. Laying into a tiny fish and thinking it's a flounder, twice!.... strike 2. Skiing a tiny trout across the top of the water and all the while claiming it's a solid trout... strike 3. Full on rookie.
gatekeeper over here
Full on CZcams troll. You’re out of there Bill.
Hey jackass, if u gotta better place to fish please tell us.
