You guys are pros at fishing, but my question is what is the point of fishing if you are not going to keep the fish that you caught? You guys were just throwing them back after you caught them.
@littdna317 hey thx 4 watching and commenting :) neither bill, ed nor i would call ourselves pros but we do enjoy fishing. if anyone in the video is a pro it is Bill Martin - truly expert surf fisherman. We do keep an occasional fish but it is rare - we are more inclined to preserve species which need all the help they can get these days!
@bloodknot101 You guys were not really at a river, right? Was this salt-water fishing that you guys were doing? Rivers don't have big waves like this. I don't know why is surf fishing right on the shore not so popular over here in California? What we do over here is we cast our poles right off the pier into the surf line. Maybe's it's because we don't need a license for any pier fishing, so it's easier. Unlike in some states that require license for any fishing activity.
@littdna317 we must have a license to fish any kind of water in delaware - no exceptions. Indian River is the most famous fishing spot in Delaware. It is a tidal river and is saltwater. Instead of the usual estuary where it meets the ocean it simply meets the ocean with sand beachs on both sides. When we fish those beaches we refer to them generally as IR. More and bigger fish are caught inside the inlet in the river part of it but it is usually too crowded and rocks snag lures. tnx 4 watching.
@XRS975 for bait Bill uses 10' St Croix casting rods and AbuGarcia Mag Elite reels. I use 10' Diawa Emcast with Mag Elite reel. For lures we use spin tackle. We have not caught any big blues so far this year - surf fishing in Delaware has been terrible. Thanx 4 watching.
@mrderrick007 if you want a chance to catch the big blues you should consider NJ or NY beaches. over past years delaware beaches have seldom seen the big blues - what is shown in this video happened only once over past 5 years in delaware
