STOP GETTING SNAGS on ROCKS w/ THIS Rig! (Slip Float Fishing Rig)

0:00 are you tired of getting snags Non-Stop and losing your rigs left and right I've got an awesome rig to show you guys perfect for fishing rocks perfect for fishing structure and you're never going to lose another rig again me help down oh yeah oh it's ping Dr Trout hey hey hey [Music] so I'm standing in an area where I'd probably be fishing out there this is just what it would look like without water look at how many rocks are here if

0:45 you try bottom fishing here imagine your Sinker getting stuck in one of these Nooks right here it's literally just going to get caught right away that's why you're getting snags you want to fish the Rocks without getting it snagged and I've got a perfect method for you it's called the slip float method now basically this float will float over top of the rocks and your bait will just be dangling here without the Sinker going into the Rocks I'm going to show you how to tie that up right [Music] now

1:34 [Music] so here is everything you need I'm using 15lb lader line using a wide Bend hook here I'm using this kind of Sinker right here inline Sinker a bead two-way swivel bobber stopper and I'm using this kind of float now this is just a slip float right here it's really easy to tie up all you got to do is just understand how it works and you'll be able to tie this up however you want to tie it up now let me just show you really quickly how I tie it up so this is something I discovered recently my friend Charles showed this to me this is a bobber stopper that you don't have to tie you just put your line through it and you

2:21 pull it through and there we go bobber stopper right on the line this is what's going to stop the bobber from sliding next we're going to need a bead put that bead on there like this see and this bobber stopper should stop the bead from going anymore then we're going to put the slip Sinker on and this this slip float there's many variations of this this is just one of the models that I like to use okay now you see how this bobber will stop at that knot right there we can adjust we can adjust this so if I want it really deep it'll go really deep and then stop over there this way we can adjust how deep we want it instead of like a traditional bobber where you have to have it fixed this way it's really

3:08 really nice so now after that I tie on the Sinker before I used to use an egg an egg Sinker but I found that this kind of Sinker works really well this is an inline Sinker and we're just going to tie it on like this look we're halfway built now from here we're going to attach our leader line in a hook the lighter the leader the less fish can see it so I like to have a really light leader 15 lb is a pretty good one for me going to tie that on here there we go I'm using an improved clinch knot on all these knots here now we're going to cut all these little tag ends off all right I like a little bit longer of a lader especially for a trout because it gives the live shrimp more

3:55 room to swim around and wiggle around here's a snail knot put the tag again through the loop right make a loop like this now take this tag end and wrap it around that Loop 8 to nine times then take that tag end and put it through keeping everything tight we going to tighten it down like that nice and tight and we're going to clip the tag in and voila we've got a slip float this is my new version of it before I used to use a egg egg egg Sinker here and before I used to tie my stopper up at the top so this is my updated version and with this I am able to Coast over top of any rocks that are off of the bottom so I'm not fishing any of the Rocks but I'm still

4:42 fishing nice and deep where the fish are that's why this rig is awesome and if you start using this rig you're going to stop getting nearly as many snags especially in Rocky areas like we're fishing right now nice and tight then we're going to clip the tag end all right here's the basic idea bobber stopper right here bead and slip float which stops at the bobber stopper Sinker which is an inline Sinker leader line hook it's a very simple rig extremely effective in the Rocks the awesome part is that this bobber stopper you can move it all the way up you can even have it all the way into your reel and cast it out this is what determines the depth of how deep you're fishing so if you're fishing in a really deep area you can have a really short line and cast it out really far without having to have a

5:28 really long line and cast this bobber stopper is the thing that's going to allow you to change how deep you're fishing a traditional bobber it's fixed in one spot and if you want to cast it far you're going to have to keep it short but this you can cast it really far because your bobber stopper is way back there and you can adjust it now that we're all tied up I'm going to see how deep it is out there and by doing I can do that by adjusting my bobber stopper to as deep as I think it is passing it out there and seeing if it hits the bottom I'll be able to tell if it hits the bottom because if it's on the bottom the float will go to the side if it's not the bottom the float should stand straight up and now I'm going to find the bottom first then I'm going to dial it back a little bit so it's just right off the bottom and then I'll let it drift and Float another really good

6:15 reason to use this rig is because you can naturally present your bait right above the rocks and have it drift at the same time so it's not just staying in one place it's Drifting by as if a shrimp was just floating by really innocently and a little shrimp is just so easy to eat for so many different kinds of fish there's many kinds of things that you can catch with this now if you don't want to tie up your own leader line and hook I actually have all these already tied up this is the mini sh catch rig this is going to be exactly what you would want to use on the end of the the float it's all three of them there's three of them in each pack it's just so easy to un undo this tie it on the hook and get fishing I actually made this specific version for the float and also for free lining also for Carolina rigs this is a really versatile rig that you can use and I see my friend is here

7:00 right now here's my friend Jerry what's up man you made it you help down I heard you wanted to bring real fisherman here to help you catch fish so yeah I need at least one more all right cool oh it's slippery yeah it's slippery today yesterday was all dry some of these uh lpia these lpia oh yes nice oh yeah dude yeah you ate it all I was going to tell you save some for her and the kids oh dude These are nice yeah freshly baked or fried oh yeah thank you cheers lpia on the rocks lpia on the Rocks doesn't get better than that right mhm we've been fishing these rocks for a couple years now he introduced me to

7:46 this kind of fishing and we caught a lot of fish here right first time he came out he hooked on a tarpet yeah right there right over there dude that was crazy what and then came out here hooked on a big red right away big red so we're going to be fishing like with Brandon on how to not get stuck but I'm using a micro jig with four almost like a treble hook and a hook so you know this is bound to get stuck and the way you do it you don't want to get stuck is just keep it on keep it on top of the water don't bottom jig it but you just got to know the structure he's got one of those GPS thing that reads to the bottom and yeah you just got to know where you're you're throwing your jig I guess I could use the jig first just to see if there's any fish yeah it's really nice it yesterday

8:31 was really sunny yeah I think I think a over overcast day is better for fishing [Music] yeah you see how the bobber is kind of not moving right it's not drifting right and it's kind of to the side that's because the Sinker is too low so we have to bring it back and move now we know the bottom at least but we want to be just off the bottom so I'm going to reel it back and bring the bobber stopper up a little bit you got Li bait yeah I got Li bait yeah cuz yesterday I didn't get I didn't get much without it oh it's really shallow today yeah might have to go all the way to the end bro yeah yeah

9:18 that's a very exciting way to fish watching your bobber just go down it triggers all your emotions you know like oh what do I got what do I got and sometimes it goes down real hard it's other just goes real slow okay we know we know the bobber is perfect now because it's drifting to the right really slowly and that's what we want to do we want to just keep drifting it so it covers water try here if I find a honey hole say I I'll let you know if there's anything here come for me okay come to me [Music] okay waiting for this tide to come in is this s yeah it's a snag

10:11 fishing it's a kobia oh it's pulling drag oh my God guys we don't know where we're catching in the Rocks here this is so exciting bro Third cast dang dud that's a big one TR oh dude right I thought you were snag for sure oh I see it out there what's your plan to get it out get him tired get him tired fun action right fun action on the

10:58 jetty cuz if we're stepping down there we get hit we're I'm not doing that just horse that sucker in if it snaps it snaps got it all right there we go safe release safe for everyone that was a giant I think need to bring it up a little bit more even do you think it could be a big shark dang that that is big the other

11:45 one wasn't shaking it like this one right what is it one oh yeah woo yeah trout swallowed them yeah look at that 16 in now it was hard to get this out here onto the jetty but I think it's going to be worth it you see that little dark spot in here that's his brain you don't want to hook the brain right in front of it is the perfect spot to hook it just like that and a little shrimp

12:31 like this it's going to catch me my dinner all right so I'm I casted it as far as I can out there and I'm just watching this thing float to the left as soon as it gets a little too close to the shore I have to bring it in and recast it back in front of me and that's called a drift every once in a while I'll give it a little twitch like this oh oh the twitch worked yeah yeah yeah and once you find the right depth you just floated over top of those rocks you're going to get fish after fish yeah this one might be undersized

13:18 they have to be 15 in to keep and you don't want to poach them you don't want to keep it illegally cuz it's called [Music] poaching it's on the DOT I'm I'd rather let it go I don't want to get in trouble beautiful [Music] fish all right so let's do the drift again I'm going to cast it over there let it drift to the left every once in a while twitch twitch and that just makes sure the the the shrimp is alive and moving you know you don't want it to be too stationary for too long today's already a lot better than yesterday fishing I'm here

14:04 yeah oh down down and out here we go this is number three or number four five five oh [Music] yeah there we go that's a 15 right there that's [Music]

14:54 in since you're catching all the fish I'm just catching the small stuff man you're catching the big boys yeah they they don't count oh I missed it got another one I missed it bro I hate you I was looking at your man I hate you I wonder if they had a dead shrimp what I found that they're really shallow right now and just switching my my bobber stopper to like maybe 2 ft right here I'm getting a lot more bites than when it was deeper yeah and I'm also finding that when I do little Twitches like this yeah that that helps yeah that helps so what's your bucket fish list for this year oh I want to hit a tarpon

15:41 yeah Land one yeah like a big one from here yeah I have that RC boat I can just drive it out and drop a big big bait or something you know like just drop a mullet out there yep well when they're here you don't need that cuz they come around here oh they come when mullets are running they'll be just right here along the edge I don't know how I'm going to land it off of the Rocks yeah that's that's the thing dude I hooked on to three of them and I could never land them yeah that's the hard part is landing them oh oh you saw that oh yeah oh no so fun I love watching the bobber go down it looks like they're in that spot right there huh I think so yeah I got one in close that's where

16:27 I got mine with the jig right there here that was probably a little [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] fish [Music] yeah dude it's the shrimps that are working today I know right last time it was the lures this time is the shrimp dang it's a nice catfish that's a catfish no it's not it's a [Music] trout oh yeah I hate you you want to use my rod

17:14 no did me set you up a float no I all I brought was jigs bro I have all the float stuff if you want to use a float and I got the shrimp too I know you like you like using your jigs I like my jigs 14 in not not big enough now you can use any kind of bait you want with this rig you can use dead bait you can use like a fish you can use a mudminnow there's a lot of things you can use I'm just using a shrimp today cuz I know that the fish here the trout in particular they like to eat shrimp Mig rocking just cast straight where where my bobber is you'll probably hit some right there I'm going to go catch some giant fish real quick now I like scope around I want to try to catch some blues blueish my go blueish yeah I can't

18:01 wait for the Bluefish and the macro to come around it was fun it was fun it was nice weather it was perfect time to camp we we just did tent camping dude this is a big one this is a big one this is a nice one guys please don't lose this I didn't even see it go down aiit oh it got off it got off it it's not my hook it's not my hook it could have been a big shark yeah I mean I don't know what would have bit in my line like that yeah that was big I'm just going to pretend that that was not a huge trout and that that was just a shark or a big Bluefish that bit me off that way I can sleep better

18:48 tonight all right that one just bit me clean off yeah the downside of this rig is if you lose the whole rig it takes a second to retie so I'm grateful it's just my hook that I lost and not the whole thing it's a trout what is that all right it's so nice to come out with friends cuz you get to see them using different things and you get to see what they're catch C in and they can cover more water if he starts slamming the trout I'm going to go over there cuz I

19:33 haven't gotten a bite in a second come on fishy fishy that's pretty Universal that that hack right there when you say come on fishy fishy fishy fishy come on fishy fishy I've heard so many fishermen in so many different places in the world say something like that as like a good luck thing it's in St John's yeah dude that's a nice one yeah I'll take it wait I got enough though you why don't you want it dude it hit the jig it hit the micro jig um oh boy is like so country over he doesn't know what he's doing uhhuh right I told him about your channel he subscribed my channel uhhuh and then I

22:39 still trying to well you got that huge wave coming in front of you hey be careful though be careful though yeah someone got to tell them be careful all right so just uh let the SL hey open the slack and I I'll get it from here all right how was it bro that was a nice little fight so Blaine that's hacer he's like the number one channel on on fishing yep all right come down here come down here I'm going show you how to use this rig right here all right look at this rig this is called a slip float slip float all right cuz this is going to slip all the way up until this bobber

23:25 stopper right here and you can move this bobber stopper oh hell yeah so you you know regular bobber it just stays in one place right right this one can slip all the way to how deep you want it right you can actually adjust it yeah cuz sometimes the fish are shallow sometimes they're deep if you have a regular sink float it's not going to work right so I found that they're about like 4 ft deep right now going to take one of these live shrimp like this hook it right through here right right before the head right before that brain right there let me see if I can find a live one they want them alive Last Resort will use use dead but we're going to use live as much as we can the same way same way right through the head like that I'm put him right there all right you see that bobber yeah hold this keep that line tight right keep that line tight when that bobber

24:12 Goes Down Start reeling and set the hook okay all right so just watch it's going to start drifting it's the bobber might start moving a little bit let it go down first oh it's down down reel it reel it dude reel it dude oh is it gone is it on oh it B you it B you all right let's get it back out there it went down though right I did yeah I it it got a hit all right we need another shrimp damn they're biting hard right [Music] now only monsters outside let's get a live one remember they like those live ones but they might they might want a dead one but I don't want to risk it when they're when they're biting they're biting oh see this is kicking when you hold the shrimp hold it in the middle here hold it in the middle gently right

24:59 and then we're going to put the hook right through the head like this all the way through yep like that that look like it got tangled it's got to be in that right spot or else it's not even worth it to wait so I'm going to keep casting until I hit that one spot cuz I was catching a lot of fish there earlier and we just missed a bite there that's right see see that reeling that slack and then once you see it go down you have to be able to feel it yeah just start reeling it or leave it right there leave it right there yeah put your hand on here get ready for it give it a little twitch when you twitch it that's how you know that you have a good contact with it so give it a twitch

25:46 see this the line is too slack reel it in a little bit give it a twitch yeah it came up a little bit we might need to recast this recast yeah let's let me recast this yeah so the trout like to stay in one hole mhm yeah they like the bundle up so there's a little deep end there and they just hunt you the fish that soon bu all right look this is how I'm going to find this is how I'm going to make sure that I have a good connection look reel it you see the twitching like that that's how I know it's good so when it goes down I can set it cuz when you set it the line was like this right it was already loose so you want it tight right oh come on we got to get him one yeah and you can take this fish home

26:33 when you catch this one put it through now there you go that yeah let me get it in the hole they're chewing every time I get it in there it's they're getting bit right they're right in there that twitch lets you know that that that you got a good connection right now yeah so when you said it's going to be tight sit down oh it could be a small fish too you know cuz when it's a big one it'll go down fast let's try a dead one can you run and grab me a dead one let's just bring that whole bucket up here it was way too deep before it all depends i' I've been finding them shallow like here yeah but some spots you got to do it real deep like 10 ft 12 ft you have to just like keep trying

27:20 different depths oh you saw that yeah's see that here here reel it in just take your time take your time it's just go easy go easy go easy there you go right you done fresh water right like bass yes sir just just reel it in like that you don't want to go too hard cuz you're going to it's going to come off there you go that's the right way you feel it yes sir yeah I see it there you go that's your fish man woo see it was it was too deep before right yeah the First cast on the cowboy yeah Cowboy all right bring it up here reel it in yeah dude all right that's it right right there right there yeah it's okay swing it to me all
