If you’re heading to the beach this summer in search of tarpon, kingfish, cobia, or just some drag-screaming fun…
Your first move of the morning matters more than you think.
Capt. Peter Deeks breaks it all down in today’s video on how to locate and catch the right bait so you’re ready when the fish show up.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
-
Why fresh bait caught that morning gives you a major edge
-
How to use sabiki rigs and cast nets to match the hatch
-
Why variety matters (don’t just load up on one bait species!)
-
Where to look when bait schools are scattered
-
How to balance bait prep with fishing time
This Isn’t About Lures vs. Live Bait
We love fishing with artificial lures year-round.
But there are certain days on the beach, especially in the summer, when having the right live bait is the ticket.
And if you’re set up with a net, a simple sabiki rig and a game plan, it’s easier than most anglers think.
This video shows how to get it done fast and effectively, so you’re not guessing or relying on frozen bait from the night before.

Thanks Captain Deeks
just fantastic info👍👍👍
Good info on how to use a Sabiki Rig !
What if you don’t have a boat. Is cast netting the beat method for catching live for surf or inshore fishing?
Makes perfect sense, thanks.
