I’ve been nearshore fishing for a long time, but I completely overlooked 3 fall strategies that can turn slow days into PURE CHAOS.
Capt. Ryan Harrington walked us through these patterns out on the beach, and once you see them unfold on camera, you’ll understand why the mixed bag action went absolutely nuts for us.
If you can learn these 3 moves, fall nearshore fishing gets a whole lot easier… even when everyone else is struggling to find fish.
3 Strategies For Nearshore Fishing
Bottom Rig:
- Rod: Slot Machine Medium Heavy
- Reel: 3000 Daiwa Ballistic MQ
- Line: 20 lb J-Braid 8 Grand
- Leader: 30 lb Ande Mono
- Lure: Prawn USA OG rigged on 5/0 Hoss Weedless Football 3/4 oz
Plug Rig:
- Rod: Slot Machine Medium
- Reel: Otis 2500
- Line: 10 lb J-Braid 8 Grand
- Leader: 30 lb Ande Mono
- Lure: Skinny Lipper XL
Conclusion
Nearshore fishing can be an absolute blast by using these various strategies shown in the video above.
Although live bait is helpful, it certainly isn’t required. The key is to find some areas that have a lot of life, and then deliver a lure and bait into the feeding zone.
Since the fish can feed throughout the water column, it’s important to have lures/baits that can cover various depths.

Definitely awesome day on the water and the cobia did not shy away from.. Two lures fished the proper way produced a huge variety of game fish for sure …… Thanks Luke and Joe for a great video…. Job well done

That was a great fun video with a lot of good information. I would like to see more videos like this one and the variety of options for fishing as you did here. I like inshore as much as the next person but enjoy the bigger fish offshore as well.
I can attest to the medium heavy rods and the 4000 diawa as a great combo. It has handled just about any situation I’ve come across.

Thanks Michael!
Epic day!!
Well unfortunatly my boat i believe is to small for fishing anywhere near the ocean nearshore and especially offshore i fish out of a 17ft carolina skiff and have found that even the jetties that lead out to the ocean can be very treaturus mostly because of the never ending boat traffic constantly throwing huge wakes besides the frequent ship traffic transverseing to and from the st johns river and the Atlantic ocean when I was in the navy stationed on a fast frigate out of nas mayport I witnessed many boats alot bigger then mine get knocked against the jetty rocks its extremely dangerous fishing and in my opinion especially for me not worth the risk just getting out there let alone putting up with the rocking and rolling associated pretty much the majority of the time while fishing the ocean but obviously you know alot of people because I would find it hard to believe you take your pathfinder out on the ocean but if you do that’s on you me I had enough rocking and rolling on the high seas in all my 20 years of naval service I love the safety and placid inshore mostly icw scene but thats me because I don’t put myself in potential danger but again That’s me and I only speak for myself never others so thanks but no thanks but I do thank you for all you do
It’s smart to stay safe from being out on the Atlantic on a small skiff as it can get rough quickly if the wind picks up.
