Is your last name Hillman by chance?

2 things

1. I would go with a stiffer rod for sightfishing reds. It helps to penetrate their mouth and I’m seeing after you set it initially and give slack you’re losing the fish. This generally happens with light/medium setups. Also consider braid. Less flex than flouro and would also help your hookup ratio imho.

2. Are you making the content for yourself or others?

If yourself, make what you want and do you.

If for others, most creators follow a format. No graphics, music, or other frills. Headcam with the occasion pole cam for sightfishing / transit shots.

I follow about 50 of them and know a couple personally. This format is best for algos and general engagement / most efficient editing long term.

Typically you have:

-a ride out shot 1-3 seconds

-intro, whats going on guys, out here today in ×××× / with my buddy xxxx / trying to get on some ×××× ( 10 – 30 seconds)

-cast, cast, cast jump cuts ( 5 -10 seconds)

-explain what style / method you’re using and where you’re targeting them (banks, ledges, other structure) and where you expect them to be in water column (30 seconds / 1 min)

-show hook ups / misses (5 -10 minutes) make sure you narrate, [point] I see one right there, lets see if he eats, OH HES GOT IT!

-explain some tip / trick thats working for you ( 30 seconds – minute)

-explain your tackle setup (30 seconds – minute)

– CC&C = catch, clean, and cook if you need to make it longer (2 – 5 minutes)

-outro on water if no CC&C, ok guys thanks for coming along we caught XXX, if you have any questions or specific content be sure to let me know in the comments, subscribe if you wanna see more, and ring that bell so you know when a new video goes live, we’ll see you on the next one, till then thank you for watching and tight lines blah blah blah (30 seconds – 1 min)

Chop out 1 -2 minute highlights to cross post on FB and YT shorts.

Chop out 15 second – 1 minute clips to cross post on Tiktok.

So wait…if this is the 2nd time shes been fishing.

That means the Eden Isles girl was another chick.

So it’s not just fish you slaying then huh?

Ol’ catch and release Denman out there filling boxes!

Listen to this man. <div>

I used to post in tripletail fever on FB and guys would try to give me brain at the launch for tips.

I had to start showing up 15-30 minutes early most days to launch on time.

I lovingly custom-make every pic for this group.

I was raised on 4chan.

It’s a problem.

A bad day on the water is better than a good day at work. 😉

Wife called me asking when I was coming home. I told her an hour and kept casting. My phone overheats and shuts itself off. She got worried. Calls the Coast Guard. Coast Guard tried to call me but phone was off. As soon as I got to the launch I realized my phone was off. As soon as I turn it on, Emily is calling me. I tell her I’m ok. Then call my wife, who was in tears because my tracker showed my last location where my phone died.

Choose wisely my friend.

He would’ve been slinging a fish over every 2 minutes.

ONE MORE CAST!

Is it a catfish or a throwback?

The suspense is what makes the bird bite fun!
