What a great day on the water! Lots of fish and pelicans riding a dolphin, who knew🤷‍♀️❤

5:53 Big Snook on a windblown mangrove shoreline. Classic!

Love those jigheads. Exactly what I'm using. Been using the 1/16oz with a white zman slim swimz

Awesome trip!! What is that phone mount you have on your kayak? Interested in getting it.

It seemed to me that you were moving too quickly that's why so many fish got spooked. Probably slow down and cast twice as much as you were. You could have been giving up on an area too quickly. The other issue that we're all having is the water temps are cold and the fish are lethargic. Me personally I don't like water that clear and that shallow because the fish have way too much of an advantage. Seems like if they get a good look at your bait they know something is not natural about it. On the flip side if you move it quickly so they don't get a good look they don't want to chase in cold water temps. I'm no expert but I like to find three to six feet of water with moving current. In Louisiana it seems they sight fish reds all year but the Florida fish are way more spooky in that clear water. Louisiana has muddy brown water and the fish rely more on vibration and smell than sight. My strategy lately has been downsizing my bait to a zman slim swim 3 inches or less and making sure my swimbait hook or jig head is completely hidden as much as possible. I also think 8 lb braid and 10 lb fluorocarbon leader is smart in ultra clear water this time of year. FYI I've had better success fishing in low populated areas and not highly populated cities or towns. I'm on the West Coast of Florida and the fishing north of Dunedin causeway is much better because the fish see less pressure from boats and fisherman.

I don’t see the link for the items required.

Great video! Mirrodines are definitely great lures you can fish all day with. One of my favorites In response to what you’re talking about around the 10-11 minute mark about leeward or windward areas, I’ve sometimes found some VERY good bites on the most windward sides of mangrove islands, seawalls, and rock piles where baitfish are being blown in and forced up against that structure where they’re almost helpless to large predators. In those situations though I usually need a pretty noisy lure that gets a lot of attention. Chugging topwaters or ones with really loud rattles, popping corks with a very short leader (12-15”), and spinnerbaits have worked very well for me in those cases.

Cool video. Just Subbed

How skinny does your boat get i got a 21 foot seafox bay boat and its supposed to draft 12 inches but its more like 24 inches

My wife makes the same whooos when she hooks a tarpon. Your Mom did great

Sick dude thats the best putting your mom on a fish. where you been at been waiting on some videos lol

Nothing better than spending a morning out on the water with my son. The tarpon was a bonus!❤

Nothing better than taking mom out fishing. Glad you were able to get her on a tarpon. Great video!!!

great videos. Q: Do you ever guide? I'm doing a kayak fishing trip to Cape Coral area from Cleveland area to get away from my fire EMS work early May.

Hello, I have a question. What if you are 18yrs old and you don't have a valid driver's license or identification card yet? Will you be able to get away with your social security number?

With those k-tails.. a really slow retrieval works best for me

Try working the mini mullet and the lil mullet more erratic… I have caught nice snook and reds on the mini. Not so much luck with the lil mullet though. They say redfish love the mini and snook love the bigger profile.

Looks like you’re only moving your rod tip by like 6-10” when you’re twitching the lure. Try really ripping it, like slash the rod tip across like 2ft each time really quickly but also give slightly longer pauses. Slash slash Pause 1, 2, 3 Slash slash slash Pause 1, 2, 3 Slash Pause 1, 2, 3 Slash slash slash Pause 1, 2, 3 At least for now. Once we get into Winter then your original light twitching method might be better Also, personally I agree that NLBN plastics aren’t very durable so I mostly use DOA jerk shads or Zoom flukes. But I find the fish seem to respond better to a very aggressive retrieve with any fluke style bait

Try the Spook Boyo ! It’s crack to fish

I do use the nlbn lures a lot and you are right they do get beat up pretty darn easily but I caught my first Grand slam on the nlbn and k-tail 4" best technique that works for me with all of their lures nice loop knot and it's a good twitch twitch motion and I've gotten plenty of snook redfish trout Jack's 1 pompano and Still counting

The nlbn mini mullet for me is one the best lures I have used. I recommended

Honestly I think nlbns are the most overrated lures ever 😂 it’s crazy how much I’ve used them and rare to catch on em. Compared to using doa or saltwater assassin

How much do u think they weighed?

I slay fish on the 3” NLBN paddle tail. I have used the mullets but my feedback is: 1 skip it, snook are reaction fish and when the lure skips 2-3 times and then hits the water they think is a mullet fleeing, when you cast over hand and makes a splash majority of time you will spook the fish. Also on the retrieve you were way too gentle like you were scare to work the lure, you need to try different retrieval methods but more erratic with a few pauses. Hope that helps!

great to see the videos back after the hurricanes

hey man, don't feel bad about losing that fish. I hooked my biggest tarpon at the beach by accident, I was using a lighter tackle like you. That tarpon almost spooled me in 1 minute. Btw, It also proves the charm of kayak fishing. Lighter tackle still got some chance to land big fish. You are doing a great job!

What a tarpon! I’m going for the big ones today

I whent to west marine they will take cash also the dmv is the only other places that take cash now . Even Walmart is electric currency only

“You didn’t bend the hook didja?” 😂

What area do you fish

Where in Florida keys is this

Nice! Maybe carry a tape measure. Thanks for taking us fishing.

Would have broken off 20# line too. Powerful fish. Keep using 8-10# line. Its so much easier/fun. You get more fish overall.

Peddling back out with a big one on will definitely reduce mangrove escapes. I think the fins, in motion, will keep them away better, too.

really cool video! And lots of topwater blasts.

Jacks remind u to hit the gym

early bird catches the worm. off the water by 9 in the heat and catching fish equals solid day

Probably foul hooked something

I have not seen a sinker on your line, why?

"Now we both will surely drown." "Lol" said Ozzy, "Lmao"

Congrats that’s a stud of a snook

Now they can get on with the business of killing each other aka nature 🙄

3:52 has to be satire.. “my wifes boyfriend”

Red slammed it.

Great video!!

This is cool! When I see Osprey around the river I’m fishing I take it as good sign that fish are around.

Thank you brother

reminds me of denny’s grand slam breakfast
