Canal Life
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2011
This channel is about making lifetime memories fishing SW Florida. Fishing Sanibel Island and the Pine Island Sound is a fishermen's paradise. So we don't forget our roots, there is an occasional trip to Minnesota mixed in!

Hurricane Milton Cape Coral, FL Experience
Documenting the impacts of Hurricane Milton in Cape Coral, Florida. Super lucky for us that this big storm stayed north. Prayers to those impacted so much more than us.
This is primarily a fishing channel but I named it Canal Life because it's really all about living in Cape Coral with gulf access. It's total paradise 99% of the time....that other 1% can get a little sketchy!

Unleashing BEACH MONSTERS: TARPON Fishing Made Simple
Hey, got a boat question can u pm me?
Thanks for the tour.
Tuck your elbow into your torso and shorten your stroke. It’s the best way to spend more money to catch less fish! Great video though.
lol!!! Good advice on elbow. Appreciate that. I’ll be out tomorrow trying again.
Dang, ya gotta burn $15 worth of fuel to get to open water?
Not exactly but it is 2.4 miles.
Awesome Canal!! Stay safe over the next couple days, and I’ll see you out on the water in a bit!
Will do! I heard after Ian there were a lot of fish in the canal seeking refuge. I may look after Helene passes.
How many boats have you owned in your short time in Florida, and the makes?
Only two so far. My previous boat was a Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay.
Is your power poles an 8 and a 10 or is it just the mount?
I have 10’ power poles. Great product.
Love the channel! Love the boat! What can you get your exact setup for?
Where do you park it when a hurricane come in the neighborhood?
On the lift! With every rope and strap I own! Actually I have a trailer and would probably pull out and in the drive way as close to the house as possible. There's really no good option except inland storage.
Great videos. Have the same boat. Can’t figure out the fresh water wash down as it’s not priming. I have the tank full and the switch engaged. Any thoughts? Thx!
Ever try back flushing water through the hose? that could help if the pump is jammed.
I have a 266 on the west coast. Love this boat. Great video.
Thanks - I’m loving it.

Funny stuff - love your videos!
Glad you like them!
Good info - thanks
Thanks. 😊
Love your boat videos. Please keep the updates coming!
Thanks - appreciate the comments.
Not interested in catch and release? That’s cool “Dude” but how that shows I care more about them than my family is not logical, the words of an idiot.
for the record, all fish were released....not sure who posted a concern about your comment from a year ago,
Check the screws on the live well hinges. Same boat, 3 of mine backed all the way out, and 3 others were loose.
Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on that.
Just found your channel. Great tips and the story at the end was unfortunate but glad the outcome was so good. Thanks for sharing. Btw, is it inappropriate to reveal the brand of your traps and pen? Love to know what you were using. Thanks again and I look forward to your videos! Be safe.,
Thanks. I really don’t know the name. I bought they at Lehr Economy Tackle in Cape Coral. Anderson Tackle has a lot too. They were pretty cheap and have paid back enormously!
I appreciate your 266 videos. I’m in the market for that boat.
Was that 57 mph top speed?
I believe so. I was in an area with some tide so actual could be +/- a few mph.
Great job and a boat I have looked at very seriously. We have fished the same area's for I live in Pt. Charlotte, on a waterway. I am looking at new bay boats now and need a hull to deal with Charlotte Harbor for you know how it can be wicked at times. I need something with some speed for I am 18 miles off to my favorite flats area's.
I have a Robalo 266 now. I miss the ride of the tidewater! It’s dry and smooth.
Nice little vid 👀
Appreciate it
Great video! I’m moving from Colorado to the “space coast” looking at the 266. Is that a good choice for in and around Merritt island?
Sorry I don’t know the area. I love it but you give up some draft. For me, it’s ok because I like the space for tarpon fishing and near shore/occasional off shore. The layout is amazing with the live well and cast net storage. It’s near perfect for me.
I’m right off del Prado bro we gotta get together for some fishing someday
Neat setup
6” draft and all that room! Pretty cool.
Hey brother! moving to the space coast. I am specing a boat very similar to yours what's your opinion on transducers with dual simrads?
Not sure I understand. You only have an echo transducer and the downscan. Both are shared between the units and Both of mine read at full speed. Where I’m at, I leave the port Simrad on sidescan 99%. I’ve found lots of good structure that way! Let me know if that doesn’t answer the question. Good luck with the spec.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Hi
Everybody haw to say hi
Gave you a follow in Instagram.
Lady fish count as -1, get a stripping basket to control the line or it will get cut off in the trolling motor.. watch a double haul video pratice at the park. Rod tip in the water when you strip. Hook one tarpon on the fly and you will never want to catch them any other way. Good video.
Awesome tips. Plan to keep practicing.
So pretty
fun morning
Lol😂 hell yea man!
Love it when a plan comes together! Good work guys!
Us too!!! This plan was Perfect!🤩
It's a dream boat
I purchased the same utility bar . Thanks for the suggestion. Where did you purchase the disconnect rubber clamp ons?
Adamar Industry’s part number is SG12515. Still working perfect!
Thank you !
Don't forget to long arm!😅 Thriple B's?? #2 Mango's N. Captiva on the weekend!!🎉
Was thinking about mango’s!
@@CanalLifeSWFL great place on the weekend to go! Great chicken wings,good drinks! There's a nice gift shop/market next door, I hope still?...
@CanalLifeSWFL Waterfront, on St. James too with the seafood philly cheese steak! That is soooo good! Mike got me on that!
Hey guys FYI have fun, take photos with fish. DO NOT put them on your dating profile. Women don’t care and they’re tired of seeing photos of men holding up fish. It doesn’t make it wetter down there for them.
Great advice! I don’t know if there exists any photos of me without fish.
Just don't do it with offshore fish... I can't remember which one (I'm thinking it was a red grouper), I stuck my thumb in there and it was sharp as hell and hard as a rock. I got a nice cut from that one.
Good point. Not all fish are the same!!!
Mine suck 😂
Hi Dave - I just discovered your videos over the weekend. Very informative and great insights. Thank you. Curious as to why you didn't get the 266 SD - sky deck? Jeff
I would have but I have a 9’ 6” bridge I need to get past where I live.
Which type of cast is this
Beautiful landscape there Dave!
Awesome video, very informative! Shared it with the people I am going with in a few weeks. Watched 11 part one and know going to watch again straight through one.
Have a great trip! Feel free to ask questions. Can’t believe it’s been a year.
Great video Dave!
Thanks. Should be fun 🤩
Nice job! Looking forward to getting some grub. I’ll remember to bring the tequila!
Thanks. I enjoy your channel!
Epic catch. Cheers from another SWFL boating channel! See you out there in it.
Thanks!!!🙏
Saw them on Sunday, great family!
Hey - I was just watching your channel! Planning a run to Boca
@@CanalLifeSWFL Nice. The sandbar or fishing? We love it up that direction. Cheers man!
Both! Planning a run up there tomorrow to hit the pink elephant. Hope the weather isn’t an issue.
@@CanalLifeSWFL A great stop. White Elephant in Englewood also a great boat stop. Enjoy, we were going to head out Saturday but looks like a wet day so far.
Love it Dave! Especially the fact you keep a bottle of tequila on the boat. Just in case you run into a margarita that needs a floater :)
Well, I may have brought that along for the occasion!!!
Thanks for your content! I have the same boat with the 425. Did you ever calculate the full weight of the boat with full water and fuel? Website says 4500 lbs with engine (dry weight). Curious if you know if that is with the base engine or the upgrade to 425 Yamaha? Appreciate your content!
I haven’t. I have a trailer but haven’t used it and my lift is pretty big so weight isn’t too key for me.
Looks great Dave! Tight lines brother! Next time we're out, going to have to stop! Lol!
