Yea, I like it. It’s an older reel so not as smooth as a modern day reel but I’m happy with it. Older reels were built tougher and that’s what I like about it. Not sure of the drag specs but I suspect it’s about 10lbs.

They sure are! Recently found out that Mann’s has gone out of business and sold all of their lure stock to bass pro. If you live near a BPS go check their clearance bins. And they may have some new old stock 1-. Once they are gone I don’t think we will be able to buy anymore new ones.

Yeah it’s the Curado bfs. Having a very limber tip that loads up when you flick the lure is critical for throwing tiny light weight lures. RX Angler and MDLR over your way made their TH-cam names by doing bfs stuff. It’s a lot of fun once you get you’re set up together.

@Eightmile_Drifter yea theyre pretty cool reels. Need to use em more

For the most part if I’m in the kayak I’ll target them to keep. You will catch some occasional bass over 15” and it’s always surprising how the different species will hang together and co exist the way they do. It’s for sure less stressful than bass fishing. Sometimes I get burnt out fishing for the same species, and after a few panfishing or catfishing trips my burnout will go away and I’ll go back to bass or something similar.

Thank you! Oh yeah, I’m missing that warmer weather fishing already haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

Sure thing, I’ll let him know. Thanks for checking out the video! Maybe we can make a trip one day like the old days.

@ Just no boat dragging with Jabo leading!! “I can hear the water right over this hill “ 😆

@ I still remember that 😂. Was a good time once we got to the water but it was a full time job getting there.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Those bream sure do taste good!

Thanks for watching Braylen!

Motor oil is number 1 and coffee is a close 2nd

@ thank you. They are sold out of coffee. What jigsaw head do you like to use on these?

@ I use the Joe boxer head, I think it’s by VMC or I’ll buy trokar if in a tournament.

Yeah, I regretted my decision when I made it to the cut and the water was rolling through. It was too late by that point. Glad I was in the big rig for the journey back. .. That hat gets a lot of looks. Had some teenagers tell me that I must know how to party 😂

@Eightmile_Drifter LMAO 🤣

Thanks for the tip! I really do need to pick some up. I’ve heard good things just keep forgetting to buy any. Does anyone sell it local?

@ Sea2Swamp but I also order it direct from Hawk Soap. Use it once and you will never leave without it. I have no affiliation with them other than knowing that product works!!!

@@randallcobb4282 I’ll have to give it a shot. Thanks. I’ve used bugging for mosquitoes but the gnats do t care haha

Thank you! It was a good day. Bon secour is a pretty nice area. It’s got me curious if the freshwater fishing would be good way up the river.

Thank you! It was a good weekend with some tough competition!

I went to mars pier lake a few weeks ago, and the national seashore launch last fall. Recently I’ve been exploring the area around pass Christian.

Thank you, it’s a nice fishery over that way. Looking forward to going back.

Thank you! It’s a fun hat to wear when it windy haha

Thank you! Day 2 should drop tomorrow. The fishing was better for me.

Thank you! It may be my new windy day hat. It got lots of looks 😂

Thank you, in hind sight maybe I should have fished BLB but it was fun either way. Day 2 was much better for me. It should drop soon.

??

What’s up Leon!

Nothing much it’s my birthday day

@@leoncs3182 Happy Birthday Buddy! I hope evrything is going well for you!

Thanks Braylen!

That’s awesome! It’s a great area for sure.

Thank you! I’m still learning it also. It’s a lot different than the upper delta. Hoping to make a winter trip up that way and look for trout. Thanks for watching

@@Eightmile_Drifter I live in Spanish fort so I’m a lot close to the causeway than the upper delta. Always been a saltwater fisherman but I’ve just now been getting into bass fishing. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to future videos

@ Thanks for checking out the videos. I bounce around a lot between fresh and salt also. The Mobile Baldwin county areas have a wide variety of water to explore. Hoping to do more causeway soon. Tight lines!

Thank you! I’ve always heard good things about the old Sally spinnerbaits. I may have to go back up there and give it a whirl. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Braylen!

Thanks, Going in I expected to struggle to get 3. They were stacked up around wood and those little creeks. I’m not sure if it was luck or I’ve gotten better since I was there last but I was happy with the day. I want to explore those back creeks more before next year. I bet they may hold some good bream.

@@SouthAlabamaPiper thank you! last time I was up that way was 2018 and I couldn’t buy a bite back then, so I understand that feeling. Even though I didn’t do well in our tournament it was a moral victory for me that I caught several fish. The fish seem to hang in the little creeks with trees and grass. The next trip I’m thinking I may go after bream up that way. Give the ole causeway another shot. I’m glad I had to fish there this year.

Thank you, I didn't expect to catch it off of that tree. The fish were very active that day. It makes me want to explore more creek systems when the trout move in good.

Thanks, I’m trying to work through my backlog and post a little more frequently than once a week as long as I can keep it up. Editing can be time consuming as you know haha.

Oh definitely. Well enjoying em brotha. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, I think the menace Shad will be good once I can locate some decent trout. Finding decent trout consistently is a struggle for me. I hope to do more of that this winter.

Reds pull harder and have more stamina but bowfin are meaner and thrash more. Also bowfin are harder to get a good hook in.

Thanks, yes it’s the full size not the baby model. Mann’s is out of business and bass pro bought all of their stock. What’s left is on clearance for $4.98 until it’s gone. Then it will be eBay only for them

@Eightmile_Drifter I heard about that, unfortunate. Such an awesome crankbait.

@ yeah it was, I found a few of their loudmouth 2 Crankbaits in the bin as well. If you run across those snatch them up asap.

@@ThePentUpAngler thank you! Yeah those big drum will make you think you have a 10 lb bass on every time.

Yeah, that’s how I feel when I’m driving back from that area every time 😂. It’s a longer drive but a shorter paddle, that part is a plus. The fish make it worth it though. I hope to explore those creeks to the North of the launch pretty soon.

Yooooo Braylen!

Thanks, it’s a chore trying to learn to skip different baits. I ended up settling on that Zman ez tube for all of my soft plastic needs this year. That thing skips effortlessly and the tubes are only $3.99 at bass pro. You just need to find 1/4 oz jigs with a weedguard you like. Skipping will be 10x easier with that jighead in a tube combo.

Thank you!

Thank you!

For the Mobile area you have MBKFA and Mobtown. MBKFA is inshore saltwater and Mobtown does the bass fishing side of things. MBKFA has more sponsorship but charges a membership fee to fish their events and Mobtown was free this past season. Both are good clubs to get in.

@ bro, thank you so much for that wealth of info! I sure wouldn’t mind getting into them tournaments! Can you use electric trolling motors?

@@raybrdjr yes, both clubs allow electric motors. Or they did this past year. I know Mobtown will allow them next year and I assume MBKFA will as well. MBKFA is going to a new board of directors but I dont expect much to change as far as motor rules. Mobtown is artificial lures only and MBKFA allows live bait in some tournaments. You’ll need a ketch board if you decide to do any of the tournaments. I recommend practicing taking good fish photos before next year. Making sure the fish’s mouth is fully closed is a big one that gets a lot of new guys.

I love that type of terrain. Especially all the lay-downs and tree canopy. Good video!

That’s a good idea, I bet it would work. If terminator still made the titanium models that would work out good for inshore.

It is, especially when the delta is flooded in the winter and spring. Launch needs just a little more parking now.

Hey Leon, maybe I can swing by Evangel one afternoon when you are there. Hope middle school is treating you well!

Thank you! I'm just going to wing it for that finale. As long as I don't skunk I'll be happy. I'll be rooting for Steve!

Very true, anything can be around those pylons. Personally I'd love to hook up with a big trout one day while working those docks. That would be a fun fight. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Eightmile_Drifter Anything is possible, landing it is the key. That's more the story than hooking one. The things that happen trying to get the fish on land. I've fallen in & off boats, all kinds of things trying to land a fish. Thanks for the video

They are great baits!
