@@GregPate-l1i Thanks!!!! So glad you enjoy the content and thanks for watching!

Yes! We sure did! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I remember what it was like after Hurricane Michael and without outside help it’s impossible to rebuild. Yes Stephen doing good, hopefully last surgery for a long time!

Thanks! Could have been devastating for our area, but feel so bad for the areas that were affected!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Never been out there, but it looks like a great area! Congrats!

Yes great day! Glad you enjoyed the video!

You should be fine to come. This storm looks like (right now anyway) that it will be to the east of us so we shouldn’t have long lasting impacts. We aren’t planning to evacuate. But things can change. If this storm is a cat 3 or higher and turns more west and we get the north eastern edge of it then we will evacuate. But in any case by end of October things should be fine.

@@forgottencoastfishing Thank you for your help. Hopefully you won’t get hit too hard. Stay safe

Thanks! Agreed! Great boats, and perfect for what I now do over in Florida. Have you checked out their new boats now that they are built in the Carolina’s? New owner but seems like they kept the great things about the old ones, just modernized them a bit. Mine is a mid 90’s and still as solid as a rock. Thanks for watching!

@@forgottencoastfishing Yes I have seen them. They are not even remotely the same. A man named John Pabst Originally started them in New Orleans. He built them for about 25 years and then after Hurricane Katrina he never really fully recovered. He then sold the molds to Mike Butler who owns Venice marina in Venice Louisiana. Mike then sold them sold the molds To Carolina composites who currently owns it. The new ones are very nice boats but the two are completely different. By the way yours is a 21. They only made a 21 and an 18. I don’t know if you have a Facebook page but I have a brochure that I can send you and it gives a ton of literature if you’re interested.

@@fishnfreak18 Yes, I would love to see the brochure! Thanks! facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090280696991&mibextid=LQQJ4d

@@forgottencoastfishing sent you a pm.

I’m not seeing it.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. This boat does really well in the standard 2-3ft seas. I can still usually go at least 20mph without banging. I can usually keep my fuel consumption between 1.5-2 mpg. I don’t run it hard and keep my eye on the consumption and ride to keep it in that range. Let me know if you think of anything else

@@forgottencoastfishing I appreciate your response. Your reported mpg's is better than I would have thought. if all goes well I'll have this boat soon. Do you know how many hours these motors will typically last as long as they are properly maintained? I think the boat I am looking at will likely need a repower in a few years as the current engines have 1550 hours on them.

It corroded a hole through one of the outside walls of the exhaust channel and was blowing hot exhaust air under the cowling. My mechanic said I also had corrosion in other areas and not worth trying to weld which often times doesn’t work. So I found the same engine , but it had water in the fuel system so I had to get that all cleaned out. But so far so good and in the end I think I came out ahead.

Thanks! Yeah I found your channel the other day and subscribed! For sure! Let me know when you are headed this way!

@@forgottencoastfishingWill do, what town do you fish out of?

Mexico Beach

@@forgottencoastfishingdo you typically fish certain days?

Unfortunately the GoPro doesn’t do the rough water justice and it always seems to look less rough. But I’ll tell you what I’ve noticed. It can handle the chop and rough water rally well for not such a big boat. I don’t like to bang and I am usually able to go at least 20mph when it’s decently rough. It’s still not a huge boat and you feel it’s size at times but for its size it does really well. I like the boat since it’s small enough for me to handle by myself, doesn’t take a fortune to take it out, but big enough to feel extremely safe offshore. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Mississippi has some great fishing. It’s been 30 years or so since I’ve fished there and I’m sure things are a bit different, but there are a lot of options with the marsh areas as well as the rigs offshore. Hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching!

When I use chum which is not that often, I just use the frozen type you can buy. But this trip that was some carcasses of some prior fish I caught. I was mostly taking it out to dump it out there but just put it in the bag for the day just in case it helped, who knows? But I’m thinking I might figure out an easy way to grind up the carcasses and add some menhaden oil, and oats or some recipe i come up with, freeze that and sort of use chum more often. We’ll see.

@@forgottencoastfishing Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m just fishing the public reefs off the coast of Mexico beach. Go to the MBARA association website. There you can get a lot of info on the reefs including an sd card for your gps with all the reefs pre loaded. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

Thanks! Wish they were in season, very good eating! The best thing that works for me in the bay, whether it’s hot, cold, rainy whatever, is don’t stick with one thing too long. Try different lures, colors, depths, etc until you figure out something that works. I’ve felt sometimes I’ve wasted a lot of time doing the same thing over and over hoping the fish would start biting.

Thanks! Yes definitely if there’s a stronger tide and faster moving water I may go up to 8oz just to keep the line headed straight down. I like to use the smallest weight I can to get it to the bottom with it mostly going straight down. So for me that’s typically between 4-8oz.

@@forgottencoastfishing as far as the bite, notice any changes?

Definitely hopeful after getting these red snapper. Hoping with the upcoming cooler weather the red snapper will pick up. Last fall was really good so hoping for the same!

@@forgottencoastfishing we are headed down to PCB second week of October. Was supposed to be next week but canceled with the incoming weather

October will probably be better fishing anyway!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Thanks! I edited a lot of it out, but you might notice the camera shifting….the triggerfish were almost constantly biting the camera….like a bunch of bullies! 😂

@@forgottencoastfishing Mmmm, dinner!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Yeah, a little slow but a fun day for sure! Thanks for watching!

😂 Thanks as always and glad you enjoy the videos!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. This was a fun one for sure!

Thanks! Yeah, it was a great day, thanks for watching as always!

Yeah. I cut them up for bait for future trips. Check out my video a couple videos ago, “ how I caught my personal best Bonita” I show how I clean them and cut them into strips.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos. I kinda doubt the Mahi will still be around. Within about 50 miles anyway. But the red snapper and gag grouper bite should be good by then.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve caught them anywhere from about 60 feet and out. However I seem to catch more 100ft and deeper.

Out of Mexico Beach, Florida

Thanks! Definitely a good day! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! This was definitely a fun day, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video. Those aren’t stainless steel hooks, I don’t use stainless hooks since I want them to rust out if I get a break off plus it’s illegal.

Yeah I’m definitely lucky to be able to get fresh ones!

Great! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! Thanks as always for watching and leaving a comment!

Dang man! Way to go!

Yes definitely! I’ve heard scalloping is really good over there.

Thanks! It sure was!

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. I only scalloped once more than about 20 years ago, but my wife and her family tell the same story from the 70’s and 80’s!

Thanks! Yeah crazy but it’s amazing how it works so easily!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment!

Awesome! You’re right about east bay! I’ve fished it a couple times in the winter, it’s an easy ride for me launching at overstreet. Yes definitely going to do a scallop video! And hopefully a catch and cook. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Yeah it was good to get out and just have fun after some time off! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely good to be back on the water!

Thanks! I was determined to catch fish! Strapped my life jacket on, had my personal beacon in my pocket, attached the kill switch and took off!

I heard it in my head too!

Thanks! Missing the comfort of the Grady for sure! Thanks for letting me know how much you enjoy the videos, means a lot!!!! 😀

Im in Sebastian on the East Coast We Love your videos lot of good info.

Thanks!!

Thanks! Once I got the boat balanced properly on the trailer it’s not been a problem. At first the boat was set up on the trailer too far back and I didn’t have enough weight on the rear tires of the truck and struggled to get it out of the water, but once I had it moved forward I’ve not had any trouble. Thanks for watching!
