Ok guys, we’ve got an array of pretty expensive baits We pretty much bought out the bait shop with all of their b- the most popular baits that- that they have I spent about $60 fo all of this fresh bait I want you guys to vote below: Which do you think will catch us the most and the biggest fish? We’ve got bloodworms soft shell crabs razor clams So we’re gonna test these, may 15-20 minutes each bait and see which one catches the most So we are fishing in the Chesapeake Bay uh, this area is very famous for their striped bass their perch right now is the fall time which means a lot of the fish are coming in and feeding and getting fat and uh, fattening up for the winter This is the perfect time to get out there and get on some dinner fish I’m looking to catch some keeper stripers today Which is, I think 19 inches If I don’t get any of those, hopefully we can keep some Jumbo Perch I’m excited! I LOVE using all these baits and we’ve got a nice arrangement of uh I mean, these are all like the best baits Let’s go try ’em out Peeler crab: Test #1 It’s called a peeler crab because look how soft it gets During a certain time of the year Their- Their shell starts to- to molt off and they start to grow a new one So what we’re gonna do here is just cut the legs off And if you’re squirmish: don’t look But keep in mind These creature don’t feel pain the same way we do We’re gonna cut it in half Look at how wet and juicy this is it’s different than a fresh one alright and I’m gonna fourth it Since these are expensive, I don’t wanna use this all in one shot I’m gonna cut this into 6 shots Who else use peeler crabs? Comment below I’ve just got a classic rig on right here, just a single hook Just like that And here’s what we’re gonna do: Here’s the trick They like to hide by structure. They like to hide where water is fast right next to water is slow They like to hide in the slow spot so that once a fish passes by, they can without much energy attack it, eat it, and go back into the slow moving water So, we’re gonna drop our bait right next to that I’ve got a 3 ounce sinker on here And look: I’m gonna just drop it right here right next to that pillar Once it’s on the bottom, I’m just gonna leave it I’ve got a circle hook on here So if anything starts to run away with it, all I’m gonna do it reel up OOHH! Woah! That one took it [Erin:] Took the crab? [Brendon:] Took the crab and left the crab Now these are your average size. This might be on the little bigger spectrum of the area that I’m fishing right now But I mean, it’s nonstop action it’s a lot of fun and in between, you might catch a nice size keeper Look at all that Look at all that You see that? [Erin:] I’m on! ok This is definitely not big enough to keep, so I’m gonna let it go There we go [Brendon:] No jumbo perch today, huh? [Erin:] huh? [Brendon:] No jumbos today? Got ‘im aaarrrggghhhh Nice! I think this is a keeper Yes! Got him on the live peeler I think this is a 19 And look at its stomach full of shrimps Let’s see let’s see That’s it! That’s in That’s the first keeper and that was on peeler Oh my gosh! That is the fattest perch of the day for sure [Erin:] Yes [Brendon:] Holy cow! Holy cow! [Erin:] Yea [Brendon:] That’s as big as your face, Erin [Erin:] Pretty much [Brendon:] Oh my gosh Wow! Nice job! That’s a big one Nice goin’ [Erin:] Yes! [Brendon:] Alright, let’s switch to clams now [Erin:] Ok! [Brendon:] Alright guys, so I’ve been using the live peeler crabs and these oh my goodness it’s been very-very successful for me so far Alright, so crab is done. We’re gonna try a different bait now Ok next up, we’re testing out Razor Clams I have never used razor clams before so I’m gonna give it a try See how I like it compared to the soft shell crab Um, and you guys’ll see the results So these razor clams $7 for this whole entire bag of it They’re native to Maryland and they’re alive and I guess I take a couple of these kinda messy I mean, how am I supposed to hook that? [Erin:] You just try [Brendon:] I’m using circle hooks because that’s the way to target striped bass is use circle hooks. They like to hit it and run So I put one piece on just like that Maybe I’ll put one more. What do you think, Erin? one more? [Erin:] Try it [Brendon:] Two There we go, just like that And we’re gonna do the same thing. Same exact thing: drop it by the pylons. See if they prefer this or prefer the crab aw, a lot of perch! They’re pecking at it the second I put it down wow Bait is all gone I dropped it down- dropped it down 3 times perch took it all I wanna be able to keep it down there for the striped bass and not have the perch pick it off maybe if I tied it up with some like string or like some- some thread around it it would stay on a little bit better There we go That’s a sand perch though This is- this is the last thing I wanna catch besides a oyster toad fish or a oyster cracker it’s the last thing I wanna catch: sand perch don’t wanna eat it, don’t wanna use it for bait all gone all my clams are gone again like I just put it down I don’t like that [Erin:] Yea, I bet you mine are gone, too ok [Brendon:] Perch? [Erin:] Yea! Got a perch on my clam Hello little perch guy We’re being very selective about the fish that we harvest today, so I’m gonna throw this one back. I don’t think it’s quite big enough. It’s pretty big, but not big enough And now, unfortunately, I have to go rebait [Brendon:] On the clam But, you know, it got bitten off so many times before I could actually hit a striper I don’t know if it was worth it, you know? Ok, we’re done with clams. I’m not- [Erin:] I’m over clams [Brendon:] I’m not using clams anymore I just walked all the way down there The second I dropped it, taken. Gone. I’m- I’m done [Erin:] Yea [Brendon:] Did you miss one just now? [Erin:] I think so [Brendon:] It’s probably gone [Erin:] Probably gone [Brendon:] Ok, clam test over! Don’t like it very much I like the crabs a lot more Next up, bloodworms? [Erin:] Blood worms! [Brendon:] Ok, blood worms next We bought half a dozen jumbo blood worms for… [Erin:] $12 [Brendon:] 12 bucks! $2 each worm [Erin:] They’re just as expensive as [Brendon:] They’re just as expensive as, oh my gosh [Erin:] peelers [Brendon:] As expensive as the peelers Alright, let’s see which works better So, you’re gonna put some on your little hooks, Erin? [Erin:] Yup! [Brendon:] For my big one Got a bigger hook here I’m just gonna slide ’em on like this I don’t typically use blood worms except for like Earlier spring season Not in the fall like this But, I’ll give it a try. They said it’s working really well here, so… Right off the bat, it’s tougher than the- It’s definitely tougher than the… than the clam It looks really juicy. Very appetizing Let’s see Let’s see if I can hit a striped bass bites already Instant bites the second it hits the ground Alright, I got a million bites And the bait is looking… A- Okay! We’re good! It’s looking good I can keep going with this [Erin:] Huh Spot! I got this spot It has a spot These are really good striper bait because they are so soft, but we have so much bait today I don’t think we need it Another spot huh interesting huh [Brendon:] Our conclusion with the blood worms: what do you think, Erin? [Erin:] I was very surprised to find that all I really caught was spot [Brendon:] And that’s it Usually, I catch striped bass on it too and and regular perch but I didn’t hit anything with this one [Erin:] Right [Brendon:] Um, it stayed on better than the clams [Erin:] Definitely [Brendon:] But, the clams caught all sorts of different things I think the clams worked better here Uh, but you have to be prepared to continually put more clams on all of them are like that Like, all of them are pretty soft Um But I think all-in-all, the crab was the hardest for them to pick off and it also caught us the biggest fish So if you guessed crab, You win! Congratulations! That was a really fun test I’ve always been curious which would work best I stick with the thing I know works I didn’t know if these other 2 would work very well Tried it out Man, they both worked well [Erin:] I think the crabs worked the best here today, maybe something else will work different where you are Comment below what works best in your area! Is it shrimp? Is it live bait? [Brendon:] I think shrimp would’ve worked really well here [Erin:] I know! They were eating shrimp all morning [Brendon:] Yea, a lot of- most of them- their stomachs were filled with shrimp If you guys want more help, we do all sorts of different kinds of ebooks, tutorials, and guides We have a lot of crash courses on our website that we’re teaching you how to do all these different kinds of fishing Whether it be learning how to tie a knot, whether it be learning how to tie certain kinds of rigs, we’ve got a whole bunch of different crash courses that I have written personally Uh, from the stuff that I’ve learned basically the few years of just fishing fishing fishing Um, if you wanna help support our channel and maybe you wanna read- you wanna have a nice, interesting read, you wanna learn something new, Check out our website!

Yea [Brendon:] PEACE! [Erin:] Bye! Thank you!
Blood worms
Who won the give away?
I think bait selection is a matter of location, fish being targeted, and time of year. However, there are some baits like bloodworms that catch fish all year round.
Sir can i have your old rod for christmas gift ..plss
blood worms
A crab.
Your soft shell crabs alone probably burned up most of your $60.
can you add what is the Fishing gear are you using in this video?
I would have used bait thread and tied the clams onto the hook.
Whole live marcel where I am for striped bass you would come on my boat this coming summer
what is the hook brand are you using in this video?
Crabs
Softshell for life
Nice video bro
I am also youse a worm wile fishing
In my pursuit of lake trout here in BC, I use up quite a few inline spinners and endlessly debate with myself what I think works best. I usually add a tiny sliver of beef liver as an additional attractant and seem to get more strikes. Currently, I favor Mepps' lures as they seem to have some of the smoothest action in the water and have been around a very long time and have a truly mind boggling selection in the thousands if you go to the French distributor's website 6000leurres dot fr.
You know there’s a better way to hook ur crab by putting the hook through the hole of the leg and poking it out of the shell
There’s videos on YouTube
If your going to spend 60 bucks on bait just go and buy some fish
In the uk it’s called baiting elastic. Holds any bait on to the hook and is super cheep
Does bloodworms available in philippines?
My prediction is soft crab 🦀 then blood worms 🐛 lastly clams
When you're using peeler crabs you can peel the legs and thread them on your hook like bloodworms for perch,croaker,ect. Yes bait elastic is great for soft baits like clam or peelers. You can even wrap bloodworms with it too and make them harder to strip off the hook.
I got a like from the team on my other comment, just saying 🤭😅
Razor clams slay at Kent Narrows. As soon as it hit the water it was being torn up by schoolie stripers and decent white Perch. I was targeting perch so I was using bait keeper hooks, but the clams still came off immediately. $7 for a big bag of clams and they straight caught fish, I wasn’t complaining and I gave the rest of my bait to some people fishing there when I left.
This time of year on the texas coast night time for big trout reds ans black drum ballyhoo a jack of all trades is crab jerky! Aka salted crab
This was a nice vlog. I've never fished with crabs before. Definitely will have to give them a try. If nothing else, I can cook them. 😊
God job
Most : worms
biggest : got to be the crabs .
It’s so convenient to just buy bait.
The sound affect remind me of Mario video game
Yeah shrimps would have been my choice of bait
To be fair for it to be a real experiment, you need to throw them down all at the same time. With at least three poles for each bait.
I preferred the old intro.
dafuq r u 2 wearing? 😂
Who is the winer give away?
Y did you not use you super salty squid
That's a Chesapeake perch for u they get big there
Skipper u got try try a oyster cracker or toad fish befor u say u dont want to catch them they are pretty good if u catch I nice size one
crab
Crab and eel work best here in delaware and hard and soft plastics r the real way to go around d here
Magic string with clams
Bloodworm.
i like the blood worms
Don’t you guys have a better way to release the fish? You kill them throwing them from that distance
I think bloodworms
Nice video guys, like always, I’m hitting the road Monday, I’ll be in ft lauderdale, trying your last rig
You was using the razor clams the wrong way. You have to take them out from the wheel woole and then you absolutely need a fishing needle to put the clam on the hook. Also you must have elastic fishing line to reinforce all the clam
Chicken vs beef vs pork please 😁
What do you think about Sand Fleas vs Crabs? I know it's like the same, but which ones work best between both?
Where i am i use squid most of the time for sea bass
Hoopers island
Lures are the best 🤷🏻♂️ less messy in my opinion
Can’t go wrong with bloodworms!
Try earthworms
The worms!
You should be able to get 8-9 baits out of a sheddar that size: The four quarters, the carapace or "cap" x2, the claws x2, and the abdomen or "apron" if it is a female. (The "caps" are actually the most productive bait, with the female apron a close second as well as the hind quarters. The front quarters I usually try to deshell a bit if the sheddars are ripe, and you'll most certainly need a very ripe sheddar to deshell the claws. If you can take the shell off of the entire claw leaving it all in one piece, you know you have a ripe sheddar…
My vote sheddar all the way, although I haven't used them in years since the weakfish left the Delaware Bay…
Good works man i like you Chanel it help me a lot coz i'm new at the fishing world . Thanks
SWEET!!!!
lure is good. What type of your string? braide or nylon?
Blood worms
I think worms
Erin has the penn slammer nice
crab
Brendon, why didn't you try the Squiddy Bits in that challenge?
New to braided line how often should it be changed
Well done guys love the vids.
Are you going to be out there Saturday?
instead of doing each bait by rounds I would've used 3 rods with bait type on each rod and drop them all at the same time and see which one gets hit / catch the most.
Worms.
Beautiful fishing gear, this place is amazing, your fishing was great, congratulations.👍🎣🐟😉
I wish he caught a more variety of fish.
Did you announce the giveaway winners?
Peel the shell off the crab. Then cut into chunks. Secure to hook with bait elastic. That's how we do it in the UK.
Nice video. Where is this place?
19" stripers? Those are babies. Ours have to be 28" – 38". or 44"+ to keep. BTW – if you got skunked, you could eat the clams or crabs. Could you tie the clam up in a little bit of nylon stocking to hold it on the hook?
Clams all day long
SQUID
my entire fishing arsenal cost as much as your reel
my entire fishing arsenal cost as much as your reel
Hi. I went fishing in captree today. I had a dozen short stripers and I had a keeper fluke 19 and a half inches that went back.
Crab
Use elastic to hold the razor clam
Loodworms good too
Your fishing spots are idiot proof…if you fish in the med you be fisherman with least fish.
We got 63 keeper yellow perch in half a day on peeler crab , ran out of bait !
It’s over 18” here in California. Strippers are mighty fine eating.
Skipper – Great video as I learned stripe Bass love softshell crab… Not available in California here… Bloodworm is the top bait for pier fishing for croaker cobina… $1/each here so you must get ripped off…. Love fishing over there as not crowded over CA… Did you guy use whole shrimp?
Where did you get those sunglasses ?
Soft crab
Clear rubber band helps keep bait on
Soft crab works really well. I go fishing in Kent island just across the bay bridge. To keep soft bait such as crabs and razor clams we use cut pieces of netting or small rubber band.
Lol he throw the shell nd it bounce back
Holy crap you used a huge chunk of bloodworms. Those things are expensive so I only use a quarter of what you put on
Seems the soft crab works the best among them… But haven't tried it yet… Thanks for it guys… 👍
Thank you skipper for more idea more power to you God bless 💓🐟 🐟
Brendon, how come u don’t disclose ur fishing location? I am sure other show their spot. When u go fishing at new spot the locals shows u their techniques and their favorite spot. I know where exactly where that bridge at, and there is plenty of more fishing spots down the road. Share not just ur knowledge. Cheers
i do
Nice never tried it but will try for sure thanks, when are you announcing giveaway winners
Awesome video. I'm from va beach and been beach fishing here my whole life. I really enjoy watching your videos cause y'all always like doing something different and switching it up and testing different bait out. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this for us.
Crab
This is how many times hey skipper has fished
👇🏿
Hi man, I am using a shimano stradic FL 5000 with a shimano speedmaster 11ft medium heavy rod. is that a right setup ? appreciate your advaice
