It’s a good spot! I don’t fishing it much. If ya see me out there next year say hello! Mn river so under rated!

Nothing beats a good catfish bite! Hopefully you get on a good bite soon!

@@Iferenz I just went up to Cold Springs this morning with my brother and we boated 20 channel catfish bobber fishing. I have a new itch now, flathead catfish :D

@madam497 that’s awesome! 29 is a good day! Flatheads are tough but so fun! Live bait for flats heads work the best!

The corners are rounded some but they stay alive all day and night while on the water. Don’t really keep them for longer than a day, I don’t bring them home.

Thank you!!

Yeah first time I seen that happen… yikes!!

Thank you! This works well, without filters shad don’t last long no doubt!

@@Iferenz Amen to that!

Flatheads are tough to catch sometimes, time on the water helps. Keep at it you will get one!

Thanks buddy! Pine island is so magical, I love it too!

“Fishing points” I think it’s 20 or 30 bucks a year

@@Iferenzhow often do you guy go out??? Probably just when we get a nice calm window?

@adamblase4644 we are there every year for two weeks, if we can get offshore we go. we probably went offshore four times out of 10 days. One of those days the winds were like 9 to 12 miles an hour… it was too much. So yeah calm days and low waves, swells, and wind waves. All 3 kinda matter. The app is super helpful!

@@Iferenz awesome, I will definitely check the app out. We try to get out 2-3 times a week on a 25 foot boat we run usually 40-60 miles out at night or early morning

@adamblase4644 We are just learning so we have gone out 12 miles but it’s a 21 foot mako bay style boat, we gotta be picky on days. We want to go out far like you, we just need that perfect day with the boat Troy has.

Hey Bill, I remember drooling over your boat! I’ll find out from Troy and let ya know what that app is and get back to ya asap, it worked pretty well for us and we used it everyday.

The app is called “fishing points”

Yep “fishing points” 20-30 bucks a year

@@Iferenz Thanks. Tight lines.

So much fun wish we got one we could eat. I want to go back already!!

So it’s a 1 1/4 “ pipe, the bottom is sealed except where the pipe connects to the bottom. This allows dirty water to come up through the pipe and go over the filter thus cleaning the water allowing shad to live longer. Rewatch the video I have a shot of what the bottom of the 6 “ pipe looks like

Bee ready rod holders.

Thank you! It’s a Ugly stik striper rod medium action 7’6”

Yes very funny! You sent that shark back to the water! Then my rod got shredded… ugh! Can’t wait for more action like that!

I am so ready to get back there and live the dream for a few weeks!

Thank you! Yes it picks up scales and waste very well. If I could change anything and I will it would be that I would secure the 6 inch pipe better, it moves around with heavy waves. Also I would pick a cooler that seals better. When the boat rocks around sometime water comes out between the lid and the cooler. Other than that it works really well.

Thanks how about use some pvc pipe cut in stripes and attach the pieces to your pipe just under your lid and just above the lid sandwiching the lid so it can't move Thanks for sharing if you don't mind can I use your design

Absolutely use that design. That’s why I put a video up of it because It works so well. I like the pvc c idea you got. I have been using a cut a pool noodle to fit on the 6 inch pipe and sandwich it with the lid, works good, I want it to be better than good. It’s nice to be able to take it all apart and clean it, it gets filthy dirty so there is that to think about too. You are going to want to clean it out on the regular.

Oh man this snow…. Sounds like it’s going to be a lot! Month in a half we will be livin the dream!

Thank you! It’s a danco ventri aerator. I got it at bottomdwelllerstackle.com. It’s the 3/4 inch model.

I have never heard of live stock salt.. I have heard of coffee creamer never tried it I’ll have to give it a try one of these times. Thanks for the tip!

What is the purpose of the salt? I’ve seen other videos that suggest using it too.

It helps keep them alive, believe it or not. It hardens the scales and conditions the water. 1 cup per 10-15 gallons.

Thanks! We are from Minnesota, it’s a long wait for our yearly trip, we can’t get enough of fishing the pine island sound.

Can’t wait to do some off shore things, those sharks wore us down. So fun!

@@Iferenz yep not long. We will have a few things set up better than last year. Sabiki rig always ready to go, gaff, heading sensor. I didnt think it could get better but we always find ways.

Yes so pretty, especially at the end of the video when you caught that snook. I love that clear water!! I can’t wait to get back and do it again and again.

Yes the water just cycles in the tank(cooler) no need to bring in fresh water because of the filter keeps water clean.

This was inshore pine island in the mangroves in the spring time. Live bait with moving water seems to be the ticket. I have a video “Fishing pine island sound” with a sunset and me and my buddy Troy holding fish in the thumb nail where I give away spots.

Always want to get into it! 🤣 Thanks for the love!!

Thanks for the love!!!!

No problem, have a great day!!

Thanks! The fish donkey tourney is over tonight at midnight… we gotta hit it hard next year!

Thanks buddy!

Hey thanks!! I think it was mile marker 911, it was at the north end of jug creek shoal.

Yeah they all look a little similar to each other.

Thanks! I have used it a lot for two years now, I love fresh shad for bait, and this works awesome for keeping shad alive.

Thank you! I get to fish the salt once a year with my buddy. We did get into them really good, on a number of days. It didn’t seem like there was any less fish than the other years we went. Hope you get into them big time in Estero!

Thank you, it was a fun day!

Winter is coming, we gotta get out!

@Iferenz let me know, we can get it on the calender. I need to burn some gas up in my boat

I have fished there once caught some nice channels I’ll have to get back down there again soon. I did like the looks of the river that way.

Awesome river to fish lots of nice sized channels and flatheads

Haha thanks only been going fishing on this river for 30 years 🤟🏻

Thanks buddy!

Love seeing that pole bend!

Thanks!

Thanks buddy!

Thanks!

It always looks like this before deer opener by my stand, then I never see any when I hunt, good ole public land.

@@Iferenz ah dang

Actually this is from this season, SPYPOINT flex camera.

I thought it mixed well also

It’s a 30 gallon or 120 quarts

Yes! I had to make the pipe letting the water in a bigger diameter. I started with a 3/4 inch pipe then I had to go bigger to a 1 inch pipe, this fixed the problem you stated of pump pumping faster than water coming in. So if you are using a 1/2 pump you need a 1 inch pipe or maybe 1 1/4 inch. Or the water level is not high enough in cooler. I bet it’s the size of the pipe letting in water.

I found out pvc too long inside 6 pvc pipe.. Cut short a bit water pull in. Thank you. I finally got on 30 qt cooler bait tank to work properly.

Glad you got it working right!!!

This is DIY not a product of mine. I am thinking of doing another video on it to better explain how I built it and how it works. Look for it in a few weeks. If you have a specific question on what materials used or how I built it I’ll be happy to try and help.

Hey thanks that’s a good idea! Yes the lid is insulated already though.
