PINS FISHING, Fishing The Padre Island National Seashore

This the Tarpon and Kingfish video footage from Bob Hall Pier Texas, I shot with Shawncy Perez the day I got off the jet from Kuwait, July 22nd, 2008. We headed over to Bob Hall Pier, to see what action we might find. Bob Hall is has excellent saltwater fishing year round with jackfishing, redfish, lots of sharks, and speckled trout. There have also been a number of large tiger sharks landed from Bob Hall Pier.

This video shows a little bit of the live bait fishing techniques for the pier. We use a technique called slide lining, positioning a blue runner or threadfin herrin just at the top of the water waiting for a hungry kingfish or tarpon to come by.

There were four tarpon hookups that day and lot’s of kingfish. There was so much action that I never got around to producing the footage. Well it is winter time, and I am trying to get everything that needs to be published out. Fishing for kingfish and tarpon is a lot of fun. Here are some good techniques if you are on a pier.

This video is a Flash file. it loads quick as lighting.
