Практика Shadowing: Things are heating up: Texas City Dike Bull Red Run - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Welcome back to the Texas City Dike, y 'all.

Welcome back to the channel.

Check it out.

We just stopped and picked up some live mullet.

I asked for the bigger sized ones so that we could get started immediately.

Water is nice and calm.

We have the wind at our back, so that's pretty cool.

I got the cast net just in case we need more mullet.

And we have all the creature comforts here chair, rod holders, which we need to set up and hurry up and get two mullet out there.

I'm going to send them live and we'll see

if that's going to help us out to just have those guys wiggling around.

Water level's pretty high.

You got it within the rocks.

I took a look at the closest buoy from NOAA and I saw that the water level was going to be decent.

So that's pretty cool.

high water level the temperatures have been ideal for bull reds and that's what we're going for

bull red fishing october time frame all up and down the texas coast

that's what a lot of people go after this time of the year man where am i gonna put this at

all right anyhow we'll we'll figure this out and we'll get started get this one set up first

love whenever i can pull these big rods out of storage setup that we're using is an old 18 outfitters

surf rod and it's 11 foot seven or no 11 and a half foot

medium actually this is a heavy 11

and a half foot heavy rod we've got a spinning reel with 64 pound braid probably 200 yards

or so so we got the power check out that gorgeous sunrise over there

these are the leaders that i use i make them at home they're pretty easy

if you're interested it in something like that, you can go down into my video description.

I'll link the video on how I make these, but let's explain it really quick.

It's two segments, and each segment consists of two feet.

I've got a sized 7 -aught circle hook right here.

It goes to a barrel swivel so that If the current gets ripping,

that swivel will keep turning rather than your line getting twisted up.

And then we got another two -foot segment.

Some beads to prevent the weight from kinking your fishing line.

And then another barrel swivel that ties to your main line.

The line itself is 300 -pound test.

That's monofilament.

It's very thick.

I'm not trying to catch a 300 pound fish, I'm simply using the thickness of this line,

put it around my hands when it's wet or if your hands are dry.

But when it's wet, your skin is very soft.

It's easy for a thinner diameter line to slice and cut through your hands.

This stuff is not going to do that whether your hands are wet or dry.

So that's why we're using the 300 pound test, not because we're trying to catch a 300 pound fish.

now to anchor our our bait down at the bottom out there i've got a six ounce spider weight

a lot of people say you don't need

that it's too much weight i mean whatever works for you it's going to work

when the currents start ripping through you'll find

that your line starts right here and then it ends up over there

and so that's why i'm using a six ounce

and these little arms help to dig into the soft bottom that's out there.

What you want to do is just basically swing for the fences.

When you cast out, try to get it out there as far as you can past all the other discarded line that's out there,

the random bits of rocks and what other structure pieces

that you have down there

that will have a tendency to snag your line you get it passed as far as you can out there

and there is a channel because this goes to the port of texas city

which is right down that way but there's a channel out here the closer you can get to it

the better for you and them fish are going to be coming out in and out of that channel

um to come

and feed i want a big boy start with the big

guys first go right through the eyes at the very back corner like right over here

if it was a clock straight up is 12 straight down

six you want to go at around 10 o 'clock behind the eye socket

that way they're still going to stay alive

and this is a very tough piece of the fish so there we go pull that through

the technique is just called like bridling your bait then you

come to your hook go through one end of the loop go through the other end

and then start to twist it to tighten up all that slack

when we cast this fella it's basically not going to uh

relinquish its grasp and it's not going to impede the the bait from coming off

as well and it won't impede him from being able to swim

so what you're going to end up with is just a good hookup.

There's no part of our hook that's blocked from hooking up.

That's a good cast.

That thing is out there.

Loosen our drag a little bit so when they do bite they can take it.

yeah that's good enough

all right we'll go get the other setup ready

and we're going to be in chill mode for most of the day

because this is some you got to have patience style fishing i got this one ready for grandpa to use

this reel has 61 pound braid it's a 6 000 series

and we've got i think this is 11 the pin carnage

3 is 11 feet long it's my son's rod i'm going to use the same style leader

the same style or the same like weight as well

let's see what time it is 7 .48 we'll probably just give it about an hour before we check them

DIY measure board right there for bull reds got this my airframes shop in New York whenever

that was like my last duty station they built this for me out of aircraft grade aluminum

and so it's going to last a lifetime it's just so

that we can measure our catch mine

got hit oh yeah go ahead daddy yeah

i think i think whatever it was hit it they felt the tension and just let it go

because the mullet is not strong enough to put slack into our line

so all right let me just put it back

and we'll loosen up the drag and wait for the next hit

because you said you felt your mullet right yeah cool just

put it back inside there false alarm hopefully we get something that's a little bit more aggressive.

All right.

Check to see if it's time to check my setup.

No bites on it.

100

No bites on the other one.

101

It's been an hour now.

102

I want to throw another Another piece of bait on this fella right here.

103

I got somebody's line.

104

This is what I mean by getting snagged my mullet's still alive really?

105

yeah I thought I was using heavy braid.

106

This stuff is like steel cable.

107

Dang.

108

I don't want to keep pulling it with my hands

109

because it felt like it was going to cut through the leather on my gloves.

110

Trying to catch a dolphin.

111

That's super thick.

112

There we are.

113

I'm just going to set a one -hour timer.

114

let me get this net ready i saw some mullet really close by the rocks

115

if they start showing up like

116

that then we should be able to throw this out there

117

and come up with maybe a little bit bigger sized ones

118

yeah they might be bigger like there's a couple of big ones in there you see

119

that one yeah replace the four

120

that we've used already it'll be a lot hardier too yeah

121

because we already got one that's in here belly up yeah that's why i don't like getting

122

bait fish mullet or bait store mullet

123

almost two hours have went by y 'all

124

and what we're gonna do is change locations there's been a lot of people

125

that have left so far because no no bites whatsoever

126

so I parked the truck way down there

127

and just reel it in son six to seven good turns and then reel it in fast

128

yeah let's get a little bit closer

129

which will help us out there's more current moving towards

130

that end of the dike we got these nice flat rocks over here

131

oh yeah these were bigger the ones

132

that we caught yeah look out how much bigger compared to the others he's a lot bigger he's one of that yeah

133

and he's very lively too spunky they they go

134

after it thinking it's shrimp i know oh wait

135

no that's yours yeah it just got hit i saw it bouncing at At least I think I saw it bouncing.

136

Wishful thinking maybe.

137

You start seeing stuff.

138

You think you see it bounce?

139

I don't know.

140

I could have swore I saw it though.

141

Probably the crab ripping my mullet apart.

142

We're seeing that the guy at the very end of the jetty, the one who held out last is leaving

143

so I guess we're the ones who have been out here the longest now

144

because he's leaving we got somebody pulled up right next to

145

us maybe this is is this the same no this ain't

146

the same guy both rods have been soaking for probably an hour and 15 minutes to

147

hour and a half we haven't seen any bites yet

148

so let's do what we can can you hit record on

149

that one see what we can yeah nothing give it a look over

150

and see if we need to put some fresh stuff on there the water is perfectly colored it's nice

151

and calm the wind's at our back

152

yeah i got both of mine on crabs have got them though the crab got one of them

153

I'm going to put

154

two fresh ones on something's

155

on it oh gosh

156

definitely not mullet i wonder if a crab is snagged that's two mullets feels this freaking heavy

157

it feels right in the house it's nothing oh wait you got somebody's line

158

look at that here walk back with it i got it No, almost.

159

I pulled some of it.

160

There it goes.

161

Here we go.

162

Snapped it.

163

So this line was stuck with more line out there and then you can feel it budge and give way.

164

The good thing is, look at this we got it out of there this has got to be a hundred plus pound braid

165

that's the bigger one

166

i don't want to weigh him down with another fella so

167

if he does see something he can swim away if he's trying to swim with a dead one and yeah

168

I may have cast in the same damn direction as our other one.

169

I'll just leave them both out there.

170

See what time it is and give ourselves another hour.

171

12 .30?

172

Yeah, 12 .30, we'll check it.

173

Little rod ties can double as our umbrella holder.

174

I forgot the piece that goes on my tow hitch.

175

so let's see if we can anchor the umbrella down if it doesn't work oh well at least we tried

176

now we got us some shade again whoo man it was hot too

177

good thumbnail

178

this one's yours Liza come get it yeah yeah hold up hold it up at the top

179

180

He's on mine.

181

182

Oh, wait.

183

Am I on two?

184

Oh, gosh.

185

Oh, wait, no. What is going on?

186

I think the line got wrapped around mine.

187

I'm going to see if it's wrapped.

188

I don't know what's going on, like how it...

189

Yeah, just keep bringing it in.

190

I'll figure out mine somehow.

191

I don't know how it got wrapped.

192

193

194

195

210

yeah my son my youngest son yeah it's ricardo

211

yeah we saw it too

212

and i was like oh gosh he's taking it i just couldn't believe it

213

that first bite all day i know yeah live mullet we

214

kept them alive we uh we brought we bridled it yeah so

215

the hook is wide open and the mullet the mullet doesn't get jerked um yeah yeah oh my gosh

216

all right let's get another another mullet on there

217

i'm gonna probably have to try to cast net some more

218

because those other ones are just not lively yeah they're not moving at all

219

it's chilling in the shade

220

and you can't ask for anything better i'm getting ready to throw the cast net y 'all

221

because the bite that we just got was from one of the mullet

222

that we cast netted

223

and they're very lively they're vibrant as far as their colors

224

are you know concerned they're not kept in captivity for too long

225

and they stay out there wiggling like crazy i see some big ones like all swimming ever

226

so often okay yeah i don't think i can get him i think that's too far

227

yeah i already ran out of line

228

he said that he saw the rod oh man look at that crushed him huh dang

229

it doesn't matter that's three bites we got

230

thanks again brother yeah

231

if you want to you want to put them i mean i'm not saying

232

that it will work or not

233

but that's all up to you real mind okay just yeah

234

if i had another needle i'd send you with one

235

but all i have is just the one no that's fine all right only four bites

236

that we know of we got lucky enough to get three of them

237

and then the neighbor ricardo got one bite

238

but by the time he said he got to the rod they had let go of his bait

239

We might come back out again tomorrow in the morning, see if it's a little bit better than it is today.

240

It's now 2 .30, just about.

241

It's probably going to be my last update unless we hook into a fish, we get another bite.

242

i just got hit i literally saw them hit it and it went slack i do not feel them on there

243

i don't feel them look they hit it he hit it pretty hard

244

it took the bait no we got some oh yeah

245

My gosh, dude

246

Let's see.

247

I'm going to take a look at it.

248

There we go.

249

We got him.

250

I got it, I got it.

251

Ha ha ha yes, baby

252

i knew i had saw it get hit yeah just let me get him a little bit further in it's taking forever

253

same size goodness i mean i brought him in very fast

254

Just stay there, stay there, son.

255

There you go.

256

You let's

257

get a measurement on him really quick look at that 38 and a quarter one inch bigger

258

sweet finally thank you dear lord all right gorgeous

259

right there y 'all uh yeah you can really uh that's okay i just yeah i'll get a screenshot Gorgeous fish.

260

You know what?

261

Just hurry up. Do it.

262

Thank you.

263

Yeah, like that.

264

Alright, thanks, son.

265

Buddy.

266

We will see you later.

267

Yeah.

268

Belly flop. That stunned him.

269

He'll turn over and take off.

270

Get my rod really quick so I can nudge him.

271

I made him hit.

272

Oh, there he goes.

273

Yeah, there he goes.

274

yeah he took off we just got lucky my goodness

275

he's uh his milk they're here to they're here to spawn oh my gosh

276

well you want to throw another one on and just wait for the battery to die

277

they're just being very like finicky with it they tap it

278

and then they let it go

279

but i left it out there i think that's what sealed

280

the deal for us on being able to catch this guy he came back for it

281

I love it whenever they do hit it because he just starts taking the drag

282

like when they fully commit they just start taking that drag there's no better sound than just hearing it

283

did you get hit oh they hit it oh man We've been keeping our fingers crossed,

284

hoping that you would get one.

285

Oh, he took your bait.

286

And then you heard it?

287

Oh, wow.

288

Oh, man.

289

That's what, two bites for you?

290

Second one?

291

Yeah, we're getting ready to leave here in a second.

292

We'll probably stay here until about 4 .30.

293

yeah both bites were they mullet or crab both of them mullet okay man wow yeah

294

so we're probably gonna stay here for about 28 more minutes

295

and at that point we're going to wrap things up

296

but the bull reds are here they're biting you just got

297

to be very patient cast you out some live mullet swing for the fences

298

and just hold on whenever that bite does go off

299

and what you'll find is the bull reds whenever they pick

300

up your bait they run with it there's no messing around they'll usually hook themselves on these circle hooks But yeah, what an amazing day.

301

Two fish, one for my son, one for me.

302

Two bites over there.

303

We lost, what, three bites on our side.

304

And for those of y 'all wondering why I didn't keep either one of those redfish, they're the breeders.

305

The bigger ones, like the milk came out of the one that I measured.

306

So that's a telltale sign

307

that they're here to do their spawn during the bull red run

308

and i prefer like the 25 inch and smaller redfish they're easier to clean

309

and there's nothing wrong with keeping a bull red in the

310

state of texas you're allowed to keep one per season you can buy extra tags

311

so what you'll do is on your tag you'll fill it out

312

and then affix it to the redfish tail somehow and

313

that lets the game warden know

314

that hey I'm taking this redfish that's over 28 inches home

315

and then you can go buy other redfish stamps

316

if you I think you're allowed to get an extra stamp I'm not too sure somebody correct me

317

if I'm wrong in the comments

318

but I think off the top of my head that's what the rule is

319

but I honestly don't know by heart

320

because i don't keep anything over like 25 26 inches

321

but yeah um a great time out here at the texas city dike

322

so if we don't catch anything else don't hook into anything this is me signing off

323

so thank you all so much for watching i truly appreciate the support

324

that y 'all give if you enjoyed the video don't forget to click

325

that thumbs up button a lot of the gear

326

that we use including the wax thread

327

and the bait needle i'm going to link those in my

328

video description down below y 'all can possibly purchase those

329

and bridle your mullet what that does is it keeps your mullet alive a lot longer

330

and whenever they're down there and a big old redfish comes by it makes them get

331

like super sketched out the mullet now i'd imagine they're gonna start wiggling trying to get away from them

332

and then that it excites the redfish to bite

333

but yeah very blessed to have caught those two thank you again

334

and we'll catch you in the next one tight lines y 'all still alive

335

see if we can save him his eyes don't look popped out

336

oh he's good you're gonna be

337

okay Billy he just swam off that's

338

exactly what I do yeah I ain't stupid he's probably there he is bro I was abducted by aliens

339

uh oh careful

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
