Alright, so the first lure we're going to throw today on artificial is going to be our
0:04
Hedden Super Spook. This is one that I like to use. It's got a red and white holographic as the color, but this is the Super Spook by Hedden
0:13
And how I'm tossing it today is going to be, I have a custom rod here that I built
0:17
It's going to be eight foot in length. You can see this, eight foot in length, rated for a 15 to 30 pound line and then lure weight
0:28
or lure rating of 3 8 to 2 ounce and so plenty of rod to chunk this head and spook way out
0:33
there and see if we can get some topwater action out here on this crystal clear December morning
0:39
here in Melbourne Florida see a lot of little bait fish and stuff running right here in the
0:44
surf so I thought I would give a shot and toss it out here to them all I do to use this lure
0:52
is first you cast it way on out there, and then you're just going to give it some nice
1:00
twitches and reels and twitches. And what he does is he pops really sporadically out
1:05
there on the top of the water out there. Really gets those fish excited. We'll see if we can
1:10
hit anything this morning on the first cast. Just reel, pop, reel, pop, reel, pop, reel
1:19
real pop. Oh, I see fish out there after. Real pop. Real pop. Real pop. And what he does
1:25
he just hangs out there right on top. Real pop. Alright. Strikeout number one. Oh, oh
1:35
I said that. I got a little bite right there at the front. Alright. So these head and spooks
1:45
are a walk the dog type lure So they basically kind of go back and forth and twitch back and forth on top of the water as you twitch them in And it just really makes a good visual attractant to the fish You can see them getting pretty excited right there next to it
2:02
Alright, here we go. Alright, let's get working some more
2:47
Let's see what we got here. This is a nice thing about having your spiked rods
2:55
Oh, heyo. Got something. Hey. What is this? Hey. Got a little tug to him
3:05
Got a little tug to him. Let's see what this guy is
3:11
Oh, man. Nice little pull. Oh, look at him go. Oh, hey, oh, look at that
3:22
Mr. Pompano. Look at that beautiful fish. Oh, my goodness. All right, let's put him down
3:36
Lean him up. Is this a pompano? It's a nice one. Check this guy out
3:44
Oh my goodness Beautiful fish Beautiful See this is why I always I love to have a nice spiked rod out in the
3:58
surf. Always trying to catch fish, that way it's always working for me. And then I
4:07
got a nice oak. Careful. Pompano here. Check that guy out. Beautiful fish
4:15
all right we'll go check them it's got to be at least 11 inches I think we got him let's see we got oh yeah
4:31
12 inch 12 inch pompano in the cooler and that was actually on a fish gum not
4:38
the fish bite Alright, let's get some more fish gum out there
5:32
Seemed to have done the trick. I hate these treble hooks
6:23
Alright, so what I got for this rig for Pompano fishing is going to be, I got a 2oz Sputnik
6:32
Sputnik sinker, size 1, circle hooks. It's got a little skirt on it, just tied up a little skirt on it on an orange and a black hook
6:46
That's all there is to it. And then a little chunk, a little chunk of fish gum on the hook there
6:53
And I don't cast this very far. It actually is really close in to shore
6:57
You know there's that one trough right there. I don't chunk it a good, just a nice and easy cast out there
7:04
That's all there is to it. You can see it didn't go very far. Kind of right there where that first trough is
7:10
And that's where I think the fish are going to be running today. Through pretty much this entire incoming tide
7:18
Alright. So we'll keep that going. While we throw around some more artificial lure
7:27
Actually. See if we can't get some other species out here. There's a ton of fish just schooling right there
7:37
These birds will love it
