Trying to Catch Dinner When They Showed Up!

let's go fishing what's going on guys dial here welcome to Pensacola Beach it's a beautiful Saturday morning here we have a full team coming out today and I'll introduce them to you once

they

arrive but I'm going to scroll down. Here first alone and see if I can put some fish in the fridge for

dinner

before everyone arrives, but man, these conditions looked exceptional, the best conditions I've seen in a long time, we have our small rods, our big rods. our sand flea rake we are ready to roll, let's hope the fish bite, this is the flattest I have seen on the beach in a long time, we have a super low tide, usually the water line reaches here and the ground is completely dry, no I don't know if that's going to be good or bad, but we'll find out here shortly.

Okay, the first rod of the morning comes out here. I have it on my butt with my daa saltist 5,000,000 and I'm going to link everything that I use in the description below I have it on a normal pompo rig, we have a piece of shrimp right here and a piece of fish bite, We'll see what happens, the water is still quite cloudy, it has rained a lot. Lately, so I hope that doesn't ruin things too much, okay, first bait, let's go find another one. Then Rod comes out, it's our little Rod, right here, we've got this in a 10 pound quart with a little piece of shrimp, just a little light line rig that we're going to throw into the surf right here and I'm going to use my cart. of beach as a rod holder for this guy, here we go, there are some, there has to be something in Here look at all the sand fleas I have on that shovel over there, we won't need to rake anymore today, that's all we need.

This line just went slack. I'm almost thinking he has a fish, let's see, oh oh, yeah. He does what's right, he has a fish, he's fine, every time your line goes slack, you have to check it, I don't believe this, I don't know, he feels, he's almost fighting like a catfish, which I wouldn't doubt be. uh, in this muddy water like we have now, it's turning straight, unless it's St. oh, it's a shark, what the hell, dude, oh my gosh, I've never caught one of these on our beach before. really cool

catch

, holy cow, look at this, little bonnethead shark.

I've never caught one. I've caught them in South Florida, but I've never caught one here. That's the first one. I hope I can get my hook back. we'll be fine here if you relax these things are wild if you relax I'll get that hook out and we'll get you on your way buddy there let's hook it it's a pretty cool

catch

that's how I've done it I've never seen one here before so it's cool oh , in another way, in another way, there you have it, now it's going, hey, you're doing today, how are you doing? I got it over at a football game here early to say hello to see how we can help.

We have some special guests at the Today on the beach we have Jackson and Jamie and

they

are Cub Scouts, but we have another group of Cub Scouts coming here in a little while and we're going to try to get them some fish now, huh? Boys, you have a great day today because you are graduating from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, is that right? So what they're going to do to catch these sand fleas is they're going to crawl into the water they don't want to walk in, they're going to listen to the vibrations of your steps and you're going to let a wave come in like this and then

when

it comes out you're going to pick it up as it comes out like this, that was not like that. big scoop, but hey, we've got a check, well, we've got one, we've got one, we've got one, he, we've got half of it, we must have accidentally cut it in half while we were reeling in, but that's some pretty good bait here on the beach . will keep the sky oh look we did it there's the other half so unfortunately that happens sometimes

when

you're digging for these sand fleas so now we have a five rod extension and we take out their rods too so we've got a big rod here and then we've got a little Zebco right here, my rod here and then two more down there, so we're just waiting for some bites.

Hey, they're biting us. Someone come grab it, hurry up, grab it. We're on reel, reel, reel. start reeling, pick up the rod, okay, start reeling, man you got it, are you right? Let me start reeling as fast as you can, as fast as you can, we gotta keep up with it, here we go, keep the rod up, there you go and then. and then I'm right handed so oh there it is I see your fish he's coming in good work buddy it'll probably be a little blue or pompo fish we'll see Jay you want to go ahead and walk towards the edge. out of the water while we go, let's go see what it is, yeah, you keep spinning, here it comes, oh, you caught a, you got a pompo, look here, look, here, there, come on, let's bring it here, yeah, okay, buddy Have you ever caught one? pompo before, okay, hold it, hold it here, okay, so that's your first pompo, right, awesome man, congratulations now in the state of Florida, they have to be at 11 at the fork, so let's uh, we're .

I'm going to release them, okay, now they are very excited about the release, yes, they are very good to eat, but we are going to release them if I can get this hook off my finger, there it goes, the Cub Scouts soon to be boy scouts this night they head. so hey, I have to ask if you learned anything, yeah, quite a bit, okay, cool, Paul, did you learn anything? You learned how to catch sand fleas. I know you did, so it was fun to have those kids come out and catch themselves on a fish, but now we're headed to Bayside.

I'm meeting up with bearded Brad and a yak pack there, they're doing some fishing and we're going to see if the bite is better there. Friends, I want you all to see what a beautiful day it is at Fort Picking, it doesn't get any better than this right here, perfect conditions, there's the dock, right there, there's a ton of people fishing, oh there's some fish, oh my goodness . Guys, there are fish literally exploding right there, okay I have to stop talking because I have to get out here, these fish yeah, they are still exploding so it looks like I'm going to walk, walk right into a feeding frenzy, there are a lot of them. of fish exploding on baits here I have a molten metal with my staff my diwa Sal is 5000, let's see if we can't catch some, I mean they are exploding everywhere, let's see if I can get one to hit oh, hit it, missed it, hit it, missed it, G oh, big hit right there by Shore, holy smokes, wow g, that was a good hit right there, damn, there's a fish, there we go, go, go, go, and there's a a lot of fish right here, guys, I mean a lot of them, Spanish, yeah, come here, nice, check it out, nice Spanish mackerel.

I just got here and there are fish exploding everywhere, let's see if we can get another one right here. I've got a es casting metal on a big bait there we go there we go that's a decent one right here oh look at them blow up buddy look at them blow up I'm not going to stop fishing I'm walking I'm

trying

to get to me and there's banishment like that everywhere let it sink Oh, I'm on my way, he hit it in the fall, damn, there we go, come on, that's a decent one, that's a good one, come here.

I'll check out that nice Spanish mackerel right there. I'll try it, uhoh, let's triple here, there, come on, come on, that's a triple, oh come on guys, this is an absolute Spanish mackerel Blitz, here, look at this. talking to Jack right next to me, he's approaching them right now too, like every one of the cast out here is crazy, oh, I'm going to get one there and one, two, three, they start spinning, they start to turn, oh, that was one chasing him, but he didn't. Get it, time can't pass up a good bite on the beach like this, oh, there we go, come on, come on, come on, another one, okay, oh, that was a good man, we took the boys straight to a Blitz that No you happen to look at it often.

We have the molten metal right in his mouth. I didn't even have time to take off the tag. I tied it again and there is such a barrage here that I even worry about the etiquette. There's no better weather than this here maybe the most beautiful day of the year how are you today what's up man Brent TJ yeah you too I already have a video they left me hanging with all the rods and I was like So it was actually a mouthful very difficult. I sat there with bearded Brad and chatted with Jack and Yak for two hours and neither of us ate anything.

Let's go home right now and cook that Spanish mackerel. Alright folks, we're back home, we're about to cook some fish for lunch, but we're going to cook it at the Blackstone. I haven't cooked at the Blackstone in quite some time. Let's shoot. some other things on top, like bacon and things like that, but let's clean these Spaniards real quick, that won't take long. I'm only going to cook a couple of these Spaniards and as you all know, I'm still looking for a blacktip shark because I'm

trying

to catch and cook a blacktip shark on the beach and for some reason every time I go I keep catching others species, so GNA I will go again in the morning. and we are going to try one more time to catch a blacktip shark or a spinner shark.

I'll also take a spinning shark. They are both legal to keep, but there are many sharks that are highly regulated and you cannot keep them for cooking. So I want a black tip or a spinner, here we go, we've got our fish here and it's really well seasoned, but look at this, this might be the star of the show and that's bacon and our bacon is really going to go. First, down, that bacon will give us cooking fat. Have you ever cooked fish with bacon grease? You don't know what you're missing, woo, that smells good. Now I'm going to show you all a game changer, okay, season your bacon.

Alright, bacon is good on its own, but can you comment below if you've ever seasoned it? I'm curious, this is something Melanie and I do and it makes bacon so much tastier now with some of these. They're ready to go here, look at that man, all right, let's prepare the fish, let's put some butter on it, now let's light it up, look at that and while I let this cool, I want Melanie, my wife , which is. behind the camera to share with you how he seasons this blackstone, now the number one secret to keeping your Blackstone seasoned or if you have to reason is to always use bacon grease, that's the best fat, that's the best fat to seal it, that is the best grease to prevent rust, so I took the black area out of hibernation and cleaned it.

It wasn't bad because I used bacon grease all last year. I seasoned it just a little bit with bacon grease this year and it's ready for all summer long we're going to put a little lemon juice on the Spanish mackerel and this is what's for lunch today. I know it's kind of a mixed bag, but I'm not mad about it. I love the flavor. of Blackstone fish and Spanish mackerel is a great fish to eat right now. If you travel to our area, there are a lot of Spanish mackerel coming down the beaches, chances are you'll see some Spanish around and If you keep them, eat them fresh, it's not a fish you want to let sit for 2 or 3 days, but if You eat them fresh they are very tasty, so let's try this bacon because it is the star of the show.

True, there's something about making bacon on that black stone that just hits differently. I'm telling you, uh, if you've never made breakfast in your Blackstone and you have one, I recommend you try it, let's give this egg a shot of everything, phenomenal friends, if you enjoyed that video, go ahead and send me a big thumbs up for everything I'm involved in.
