However you want to word it...still sucks losing a fish.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to watch. That's the one tough thing about kayaking fishing around structure, my chances of pulling out a big fish go way down, especially in deeper water, since I can't use my stake out pole.

It's sad to see but I try to pick up as much as I can when I'm out.

Ha, seem to be testing that a lot lately.

I've seen some boats back in some skinny water. You time the tide right I think you could be ok.

Thanks Randy!

Catch and release is like the bible to me.

@@United_By_Water Great... Good job my boss, he really has his own pride in being involved in the world of fishing. Greetings, my friend's fishing hobby 🤝🎣🔥

I'm not sure what happened with the one that broke on me. I don't recall hitting a dock or anything like that. I did contact Zman and the actually sent me a replacement pack (pretty cool). I do have the Texas Eye jigheads which are kinda similar to the Snake Lockz. My only compliant is the weight flops around when you're trying to make long casts. Maybe it's me but I can't seem to cast as far with them.

@@United_By_Water could of been a flaw in that hook. The review of it was good though. I like non sponsored reviews

Think that's the first time I have come across them, pretty cool to see.

I would think so, a knot is a knot...but a birds nest would be a different story.

@@United_By_Water thanks

Yes that's what I did. You can launch into the river or the compound from PP.

Been crapped on more than I would like to admit 🦅

She was over 2.1lbs!

Thanks 👊

Super glue is tried and true. Still not a big fan of these hooks. Been putting some casts behind them and IMHO, I prefer the Mustad Grip Pins.

@@United_By_Water I do wish they would put the keeper on there like their other weedless hooks but I do like the bait stop on there so your bait stays rigged when skipping docks and stuff

Yeah, that beer has got some high alcohol content. Couple of those and I would be in the spirit world. Thanks for watching 👊

I guess, that paddle is pretty far and if the wind unexpectedly changes on you and you got to fight it on the way back.....not fun. I had so many chances at fish, should have caught way more than I did....next time I hope.

You got that right 🍺 👊

I don't think I've ever had catfish but I will take your word for it. I've caught some mighty big ones in the past.

@@United_By_Water I never ate the regular saltwater cats but sail cats are very good.

There's restricted zones now? Heard little bit by little bit the UN wants to slowly phase out recreational fishing by a certain date.

@@rogerclaiborne6815 just google no motor zone and you will find a map..looks official ?

No signs are posted but if you go farther north, they have buoy signs that say "no entry" for a certain area, that's it. Lots of signs on the shoreline say "restricted area, no trespassing" but that's regarding to the land only (not water). I also saw another kayaker floating around as well. This is the only map I've been able to find that outlines the area to stay out of (scroll down about halfway through his page). www.kayakingksc.com/No-Motor-Zone.html I would think Top Spot maps would have it marked but I don't have one for that area. Maybe Navtronics or some Chartplotters have something marked?

Nice beer selection. Have you tried Big Nose and Stump Knocker? They're by Swamphead Brewery.

​@rogerclaiborne6815 I hope your being sarcastic.

The three times I've fished YT, two of those trips were at low tide. Kinda figured it was going to be tough but I wanted to fish a new spot regardless of the tide. It gave me a good idea of how all the oysters beds are layed out. You ever fish the area where the JB ramp is? I fished it twice, never had any real luck. Tide seems to have less push on that side of the bridge? Thanks for the tips!

@@United_By_Water Yeah, that Yankeetown video you did some time back when you were at the negative tide….Been there. I just fished JB the other day. I have one more video to edit before that one gets posted. Usually I paddle out to the right and then fish west of the St. Martins. I’ve only tried right around JB once or twice, not much luck, but I didn’t fish it hard.

Shrimp are your best friend out there at Yankee town

@@listen2dylan788 I hear that, everything eats a shrimp. Didn't have any luck when I did use it on this trip (more of an artificial guy).

Thanks man, I appreciate it 👊

I actually have that lure, yet to catch anything with it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I appreciate it!

@@United_By_Water snook and reds eat it also

Lets do it 🎣

I hear ya, I fish because I love to fish and I want to share my experiences with others that have the same passion I do, whether I have a camera or not. Heck, a couple weeks ago I fished two days straight in the pouring rain a loved every minute of it. You would be very surprised how many times I don't bring the camera.

Yeah, those little guys were stacked up pretty good. Went back the next week, all I got was a crap ton of lady fish. I agree with you on the digital picture frame, my mom really seems to be enjoying it!

Looks like you use a swivel, or maybe a clip/snap from line to lure rather than a loop knot. I had used clips years ago but slowly just went to direct knots as the clips were lost or rusted. Can’t say one way or the other if it affected the bite or lure presentation. Did affect weight though. Doesn’t look like it gives you problems.

I was using Norton's Quick Twist Swivels. The big benefits; I can quickly change lures, which has often increased my catch percentage throwing the right lure, second, I don't burn through a lot of leader having to retie often. Right now I've ditched the swivels and use a loop knot or improved clinch knot.

@@United_By_Water Being able to quickly change lures saves you from buying an extra rod/reel just to have a different lie tied on. 🤣

I don't have any problems with being/getting it weedless, it's the nose pin that doesn't hold the bait very well (even when it's not broken). Just my personal experience with them after a couple weeks of use.

Thanks Bob. The good thing about being in a kayak is I can get in those backcountry spots that don't identify where I'm at. I know some of my videos it's pretty obvious on where I'm at but Florida doesn't have a lot of non-pressured spots left. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

I've tried to respond to this three times and it never posts...but yeah a mini chainsaw would have been nice to have.

I have an actual anchor but hardly ever use because rarely I'm in water that's 4' or more. I should have used the stake out pole, thought I had the fish under control, that went sideways pretty quick. I can put the date in the description for ya, thanks for watching and commenting!

I was fishing inside a compound and to get back out I had to portage over the levee wall. There were two pedestrian spots open for people to fish from and that tree was right in the line of fire.

Lately it's been the complete opposite of kicking ass. Struggling really hard to catch quality fish. Hope to get a video up in the next couple days of "the struggle".

I haven't been over there in a while, let me know how you do.

Yeah couple small trout to start with and a few small snook. I'm originally from VA (NOVA), did a lot of bass fishing while I lived there but never really got to fish the Chesapeake all that much, wish I did!

Would have been better catching more fish but thanks for watching HN 👊

Unfortunately no. I fished 4 days straight and the first 3 days were terrible. It's so hard to put a video together when the bite is almost nonexistent. Hoping to get out this weekend on the Indian or Banana River.

True!

Loved the area but my entire four days of fishing was a struggle fest!

@United_By_Water just fished there last week, I'm working on the video now. It was tough, and I lost a lot of fish. My buddy lost a bunch as well, but at least he landed some. Haven't had a tough day like that in ages. Going to fish low tide Yankeetown tomorrow, north of the barge canal.

I'm sure with the hurricane that came through got them all out of sorts.@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397

The best feeling in the world...IMHO

I think I saw a few rolling when I was driving down the road on the way in.

I hear lots of good things about the area, check it out when you get a chance and make sure you check the wind/tide before you go.
