BRIDGE SLOBS - Mid January Fishing

Published 2024-01-16
It's mid January and the bridge fishing is hot right now. You never know what you are going to tangle up with when you fish deep water bridges near the inlet. I recommend using heavy tackle to make sure you can bring these critters out of the pilings and back to the boat. I can't wait to eat some fresh fish this week! Get out there and be somebody!

16' Sundance Skiff, 30HP Mercury

Shimano Torium 20HG - Penn Carnage II Jigging 6'2"
Quantum Cabo 50, Star Jigging Rod

100 Pound Power Pro, 50 Pound Fluorocarbon Leader

Double Hook Carolina Rig taught in "Early Spring Sheepshead" episode at 2:38

Fresh bait matters. Catch Mud Crabs under "stuff", below the high tide line (Wear Gloves, oyster cuts are nasty). The purple crabs with spots and striped legs are stone crabs and are illegal to possess.

    My dad passed away on Dec 22, 2023 and he loved to fish in Morehead City. RIP Pops, hope to get there soon and catch one in his memory. Tight line my friend

    Agree 100% with you on black drums. I live in Florida and have caught a ton of them. Only a few have had worms. Great video. You caught som monsters.
  • @SeaWolfFishin

  • @captainkirk1102
    I may have missed it but you should do a video on catching bait.
  • @ronalddills4566
    Good to see you again. A great video as always. I have fished the same area in the summer time with not much to show for my efforts. What time of year is the best to catch sheepshead and black drum .
  • @briandunn1018
    Love your videos. Moved from FL to NC. Trying to find some good fishing holes or general advice fishing the NC coast. I fished the pylons near bicentennial park and caught quite a few flounder. Was hoping for some sheep head. Would love to sync up. Wouldn’t mind paying a fee to pick your brain to learn to fish NC
  • @NCSUME1
    Wow, thay escalated quickly! Congrats on all the subscribers! 100% concur on black drum and pecan crusted sheep is about as good as it gets too...I need to find a good spot to get mud crabs down there. Hoop creek a good spot to find em?
