How do you judge the water condition or weather before you go Kayak Fishing ? I'm in the Richmond area thinking trying to kayak fish at Lynnhaven Inlet and Rudee inlet.
i check weather through a couple different apps. i use Windy, the Weather Channel app, and then a few different tide apps just to have a good idea of what the tides will be doing. but the vb area weather is tough to gauge because it can change pretty quickly
When using shrimp, how do you prevent spot and croaker from hitting it? Wherever I use shrimp as soon as it hits the water it's gone within sixty seconds from all the small fish
ya man, unfortunately there isn’t really a “trick” to it, other than getting it out of there when you feel the little taps. sometimes when i’m vertical jigging like this, i’ll refrain from letting it get to the bottom if it’s really bad like that. i don’t remember when exactly i shot this video, i want to say it was april or may, but i usually stay away from shrimp in the summer months because of that problem. when the little bait stealers show up, i usually switch over to sand fleas and try to use the biggest ones i can find. that tends to help but they still pick at them.
i think i shot this in june or july. the transient reds start showing up in mid-late april, depending on how warm the water is. this winter has been mild so we are expecting those fish to show up earlier this year, but there are local fish that stay throughout the year as well. they are just more difficult to catch in the winter because they aren’t as active.
it’s possible, i’ve seen people under Lesner with paddle kayaks. wind and tidal coefficient will play a role, but if you are not a solid paddler, just know that the currents under that bridge can be really strong and dangerous.
for drum, all the way.. when i fish for sheep, i start at about 3ft, and work my way down in 3-5ft increments. when i’m fishing on the bottom around bridge pilings, or around structure, i just make sure not to let it roll around down there because it’ll get rolled up under the structure.
Congrats walt, u just got you self another subscriber!!-sim
Awesome I’m local and fish the Lynnhaven every Friday might see you out there
i’m always lookin for others to fish with jason. hope to see you out there man 🤙🏼

Trying to plan a trip here when it gets warmer. When was this filmed? Is there a better month to go than others?

Do you think this is possible with only a paddle kayak, not a pedal drive?
it’s possible, i’ve seen people under Lesner with paddle kayaks. wind and tidal coefficient will play a role, but if you are not a solid paddler, just know that the currents under that bridge can be really strong and dangerous.
Typically, how deep did you drop the bottom sweeper?

@@Reining_Fish - Awesome and thank you
What the hell is that aggravating background noise.
not sure what noise you’re referring to, the bridge noise?
