I wanted to take a couple of minutes this morning to talk about the reels that I use in my charters and my personal fishing.

This happens to be 55 pound test here. I'm a huge believer in braid. It gives us several advantages over monofilament. The single biggest advantage is that it's decreased line diameter. This 55 pound here is the same line diameter as a 12 pound monofilament.

Wind seems to have picked up a little bit so we came inside here to duck out of the wind and I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the type of equipment that we use.

It's very heavy plastic, works real well for putting out the gill net that we have. I've got a 200 foot gill net, very fine lining. It gets caught on anything.

We've gone way off the edge of the reef and we're out of that structure. So we're going to pick up and make another drift. I'm noticing too that I'm starting to get a little bit of line scope, meaning that the line, as the tide picks up, the resistance against the line is starting to create an angle. We don't want that because we're working so hard to keep it that 3-6 feet off the bottom, taking our two turns.Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:31:19 GMTChoosing A Hook For Live Baithttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/choosing-a-hook-for-live-bait-Page1.htmWhen I'm running live bait, there's two different types of hooks that we use. The treble and the circle. Talk about the treble here. It's an Eagle Claw product. It's a 3/0, 4x strong hook. But it's made out of bronze. It's not your typical stainless hook. If we do have to leave a hook in a fish, these rust out extremely quick in salt water. It's not very long.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:08:15 GMTChoosing A Live Wellhttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/choosing-a-live-well-Page1.htmWhen I purchased this boat, it had an old, original square live well in the back of the boat. I guess it worked okay in it's day. But nowadays we have these great new tanks that are out. The old ones are square. The bunker get in the corner of these tanks; the water doesn't move very well on them.

We decided to keep one fish for the grill, a lot of people asking for it so. We gotta filet him up here. We got our Timberline Montauk series filet knifes here. These are great knifes. I like them for a couple reasons. It is a very flexible blade and it's long. A lot of knives I've been using in the past are too short.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:40:02 GMTLeaving Chunks For Big Striped Basshttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/leaving-chunks-for-big-striped-bass-Page1.htmIt's all sand bottom so all we're doing is letting the weight drag right on the bottom. We don't have to worry about any hangups or nothing. It's just all beautiful sand. The fish, they all gather here this time of year. The bait's coming out of the river and there's a lot of, uh, influence between the salt water mixing with the outgoing fresh water here. It creates a lot of disturbance in the water. It brings the bait fish and the bass in every year and it's a great fishery.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:33:04 GMTRigging A Three-Way For Bait Fishinghttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/rigging-a-three-way-for-bait-fishing-Page1.htmLet's touch base a little bit on the rigs we're using today. What we got here is our main line. I got over 300 years of 80 pound PowerPro. No stretch. Extremely strong line. Diameter probably 20 pound mono.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:23:01 GMTSetting A Gill Net In A Currenthttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/setting-a-gill-net-in-a-current-Page1.htmGood morning. This morning we're going to talk about a little gill netting, something I've learned in my 25 years from the school of hard knocks unfortunately of netting and current. Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:13:21 GMTReviving A Fish For Releasehttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/reviving-a-fish-for-release-Page1.htmBlaine: Tight up the drag, a little bit here. There we go. Now, last time we were talking about the two speed here. Right now I'm in high gear and this fish is really taking some line. When I get him stopped, I can switch into low gear here and just literally crank this fish in, give him a much better chance of survival here.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:07:27 GMTControlling Your Boat While On The Drifthttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/controlling-your-boat-while-on-the-drift-Page1.htmWell, so far, we're 0 for 2. We had one on the live line, one on the three way, dropped them both. The tide's starting to slack. I'm going to turn around and get back up on this pile and take advantage of what we've got left here. I guarantee we're going to get one. So let's do it.

We're losing the tide. So we've got right up on top of these boulders. We're kind of flat out here surrounded by big rocks and the stripers are hiding right in around the structure here. And the way we present the bait to them, right now we're in 26 to 30 feet of water. We have a rig that's called a three way.Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:55:36 GMTHow To Bleed Out A Fishhttp://www.saltwaterfishing247.com/Article/video-transcripts/how-to-bleed-out-a-fish-Page1.htmWell, we gave it a good five minutes but this fish just was too tired to make it. So we're going to harvest it. There's no shame in that. I like keeping my fill of striper. I smoke a lot of it. I bake a lot of it. This one will eat good. Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:51:40 GMT
