That’s awesome are you fishing from a boat or from the seawall?

@FLFlatsmaster boat 14 ft Grizzly tracker love it

Didn’t keep any but I should have! Haven’t fished that area. 10k islands right?

@@WhiteGhost21 I still have the sustain but I’m partnered with Okuma at the moment so I’m using their rods & reels

@@FLFlatsmaster gotcha. i started off on okumas when i first began and theyre good for beginners. i also felt the ceymar hd yesterday at a store and it felt like a 'mano- was impressed. so how long have you had your sustain now for? youve only changed the ceramic roller in that entire time?

@ I’ve had the sustain for like 3 years. I changed the line roller multiple times before I found the ceramic one. The new X series reel from Okuma is very similar to a Stradic

@@FLFlatsmaster I went with the new Twin Power as I already own the 2020 version and it still is going strong, a year later.

@@WhiteGhost21 nice! I saw the new twin power at Icast and was super impressed

@@TheDiamondLadder the full video is on my channel I think it was 34”

@@joeyjoe8892 yes the 3” minnowz would be great 👍🏼

@FLFlatsmaster don't get me wrong I love salt strong products I got a ton of them but you can get away with the Z man easy to get

@@fishingwithhonor2520 nice to meet you! Where is Calaveras lake? I’m not familiar with that

@@stevedupree525 I’ve heard great things about the Pro Greens. Wish I could have tried one. Loomis inshore rods are all a little lighter than the rating, not sure why that is.

@@TNRVG I think a 6000 Salina would be great on it. It will still hold plenty of line and save you some weight. The Silver Slayer rods are pretty light in weight for how heavy power they are so the 6k will fit nicely

@@FLFlatsmaster Awesome, thanks for the reply!

@@aidanobuck5779 I live and fish the west coast of FL. I’m not very familiar with that area. However, I would assume to look for areas close to Sebastian inlet. All of the water movement through there should be better clarity.

In the mangroves somewhere around Burt Store.

@@davidlawrence327 was outgoing

@@FLFlatsmaster Yep..missed that at the end. Cool footage-thanks!

@@yotojojo522 why is that?

Thank you, me too. Yes, they were clearing out a lot of dead trees and debris

@@inshoreproductions4735 yeah it was crazy!! Thanks! 👍🏼

Thanks 💯

@@HugoPerk not really, it’s south east Naples

@@FLFlatsmaster I gotcha. Just looked like a spot I tried next to the water treatment plant. It paid off.

It's been my experience that "land guys" will share their spots while "boat guys" are stingy..... What's weird is that it should be the opposite. Boat guys have hundreds of spots to share, and land guys might have only 10 if they're lucky. Here's my morals on "spot sharing.".... even though you never asked. 1) Community holes are open to share verbally or video. 2) If someone shows you a spot, you can use that spot, but you can not share it. 3) If you find a spot, you can keep it a personal secret or you can share it with whoever, and they need to follow rule #2 until you share it with so many people your spot becomes a community hole. Then rule #1 is back in play.

@@francus7227 Can’t argue with you there. I fish a little north of this young man so I’m not trying to infringe on his fishin holes. There’s plenty of fish down here and zero need to fight over them. We do have a boat but it’s more for inshore but hassle of taking it out just isn’t worth it some days. Especially when shore fishing down here can be just as good if you do some research and scouting. You from SWF?

@HugoPerk Jacksonville... Probably not as good as yall's, but PLENTY good.

@@CharlotteHarborFisherman it’s great! A lot more comfortable than the chest straps and I was surprised by how stable it was. It also rides a bit higher than the chest mount which get a better view for wading / shore fishing

Nobody drops fishing locations you put the work in and you find your own

@ you green asf them small ass tarpon

@@Bigwalk787 I like 7’6 when flats fishing but it would be kinda hard to maneuver in some of these tight spots. I might get a 7’ mh to use for this. I also didn’t want to have the drag too tight cause I thought I would pull the lure out. What kind of 15lb braid do you use?

He won't have the room to cast for the trees

@@EiverSilvente not quite but on US41

Thank you, I will.

@@tyyvlogz Okuma X-Series 3000

? FLFlatsMaster is this channel and we are supposed to vote for him in the giveaway. It's not for us to create names

@@alilo-da9153 I voted for him in the giveaway. His channel name is good, but I’m trying to help him get really Big on TH-cam in the future, because his videos are excellent. I’m trying to do Donnie a favor, and I’m not asking for anything in return. So stop acting like a fool when you don’t know the whole story!

@@alilo-da9153Maybe you’ve heard of: AnglerUp with Brant? He’s a Florida TH-camr with 282,000 subscribers. FLFlatsmaster (Donnie) creates videos that are just as good, and he just needs to attract more viewers, which would help him to earn more money on TH-cam. A name change to the channel in the future could possibly help him. Don’t be closed minded. He can always stick with the current channel name.

@@francus7227 you don’t want a free setup!? lol anyways thank you 🫡

@@tbirdsdign never used the bolt but I’ve felt it in store. It seems nice and I’ve heard good things. They have similar components so it will really come down to personal preference. Try to find a shop that carries them and feel them out. It’s worth noting that the 7ft medium st croix is 8-17 lb line and is going to be closer to the 7ft medium heavy bull bay. The medium power 6-12 lb bull bay rods are pretty light for what I like to do but it could be different for you depending on what you’re doing. Also, if this makes a difference, st croix avids are 100% made in USA. Bull Bay rods are assembled in the USA but they no longer roll their own blanks in house and get them from overseas somewhere. Both have excellent warranties I prefer st croix

@@FLFlatsmaster great info. Thank you. I did a lot of research recently and held them both today. Still can’t decide. lol. Mostly wading for reds and specks or casting in surf but an all around rod/reel. I’m used to st. Croix also. But you’re right, I should probably go with the one that feels better in my hand. I wish it was easier to find the weights of a rod. I’m not having good luck with that. Also debating over 3000 stradic or vanford. But man that sustain is sweet. There were reviews on the Banford have made a little leery about it. I could probably close my eyes in pick any of them and hopefully be happy. Regardless it will be the most I over spent on a rod n reel. YOLO‼️‼️🎣 And the banchee and sniper felt good to. lol

@@tbirdsdign you’re welcome. You really can’t go wrong with any rod or reel over $200. They’re all really nice. You definitely get what you pay for. A st croix avid 7ft medium and a 3000 stradic would be what I recommend out of those options. That’s a perfect combo for wade fishing. Unless you want to spend up for the sustain.

@@FLFlatsmaster thanks again. Liked and subscribed 👍🏻. Looking forward to watching older and upcoming content. Im buying them in next 2 days and going to Hatteras nc for a week. I’ll keep u posted.

@@tbirdsdign anytime, let me know what you get and how you like it

@@SeniorGymBro-Tom hey Tom, I appreciate the support. I haven’t thought of changing the channel name but I may be open to it. I’ll have to spend some time thinking on it. Any suggestions?

@@FLFlatsmaster I will think about it and get back to you soon. Your videos are excellent, and you do a variety of fishing situations, which so many fishermen and fisherwomen would enjoy watching.

@@SeniorGymBro-Tom lol a 3.5 inch FishLab swimbait. Sexy shad

@@FLFlatsmaster Nice! Thanks!

@@Landon-S-j4h no this is in ft myers

@@carlomiranda3799 thank you! I don’t think it matters if it’s high or low tide. It will draw strikes if the fish are around and actively feeding

@FLFlatsmaster Thank you, man. Love your content, I'm learning a lot.
