If you're looking for a unique and peaceful fishing experience, secluded beaches can offer just that. Today, we join AnglerUp with Brant as he takes us through his fishing adventure on a secluded beach in Florida. Brant's tips and tactics can help you make the most of your next hidden beach fishing trip.

The first step to a successful secluded beach fishing trip is to ensure you have all the necessary equipment. Brant uses an eight-foot cast net to catch bull minnows and finger mullet for bait. These types of bait are great for catching a variety of fish, including redfish, which Brant catches in the video.

When choosing a spot to fish, look for areas where the beach drops into deeper water. These spots are often where fish feed, and you're more likely to catch them. In the video, Brant chooses an area with a sandbar and a deep drop-off where he believes he can catch fish.

Brant uses a Carolina Rig to catch his fish. This rig is easy to set up and allows your bait to float naturally in the water, making it more enticing to fish. When casting your line, try to place your bait in the spot where the beach drops off into deeper water, as this is where the fish are likely to be.

Another tip Brant shares is to explore the beach and look for spots that could be holding fish. As he walks along the coast, he notices spots where he thinks he could catch fish and tries his luck. Exploring the beach not only helps you find the best fishing spots but also allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Once you've caught your fish, it's essential to handle it carefully. Wet your hands first to avoid damaging the fish's protective slime layer when handling your catch. If you plan to release the fish, hold it as little as possible and release it quickly and carefully back into the water. 

Brant catches a slot-sized redfish in the video, which he plans to cook later.

As Brant showed us, fishing on secluded beaches can offer a unique and peaceful fishing experience. Remember to bring all the necessary equipment, look for spots where the beach drops off into deeper water, explore the coast for potential fishing spots, and handle your catch carefully. Following Brant's tips and tactics, you can make the most of your next secret beach fishing trip.
