Which side of pier to fish on is based on which factors? Topsail Island NC.
In this video Wyatt mentions using larger (2-3) gold spoons. I don’t see any that size for sale on “Tackle”. What brand do you use for the larger spoons?
I typically order them off of amazon in bulk. They’re sold by a number of different manufacturers, so I always go with what’s cheapest, as I know I’m going to lose the majority of them .
Wow! Very informative and I expect to use most if not all this information to increase my jetty/ pier catching. Was trying to figure out a catchy phrase to help remember which side of the jetty to fish depending on the tide and came up with: if it’s OUTgoing fish INside (the boating channel) and if the tide is INcoming fish OUTside the jetty (beachside)
So it’s always opposite incoming – out, outgoing – fish in.
Anyways, thought that might help others remember as well.
Very informative! Thanks for the good tips guys.
Thank for sharing your insight on fishing on jetties and piers. Next year Port Arkansas is going to have the fishing piers replaced, the Harvey took out.
I gotta get back to fishing the jetties in my area. Great video made and the catches are awesome
