Thanks for being one of the few local people doing vids to mention the trash issue. Was at Gandy a few weeks ago and it was a mess. Went to Bay View park, same thing. Next time out I will bring a trash bag and do my part. Others should to.
Great video. I kayak fish that area as well. The mangroves just across the Getaway has been good for me with snook and sheepshead. Just subscribed. Tight lines!
Nice vid. Been fishing St. Pete since a kid as well. Haven’t been to Weeden in a long time. Next time try trolling your soft plastic to pick up that trout for the slam on the ride back. Works like a charm.
Enjoyed your video brother. The way you broke that rod lol. Ive done the same thing so many times, just been lucky not to break anything more then a tip lol. My 7'2 chris green rod is now a 6'8 lol.
What generation? The newest generation was born in 2013 idk many 11 year olds but I don't think I can blame them for something that's been happening forever
@@FishingWithHeath You are correct but it's because of this very reason. I was using your video of how spots get blown up and turned into community holes. All just for subs , likes , shares and get people to be " friends ". I personally wouldn't even share a community hole if one's catching fish out of it. Just makes zero sense to put anymore pressure on an area when there's already tons. Plus makes it harder on yourself too. Never understood blowing up one's own areas 🤷🏽♂️ Every time someone ask me where Im catching I tell them hours away from where Im really catching them 😂😂 Can't stand lazy people 😂 For the record this is why I stay away from community spots like Weedon , Crb , gandy , picnic and so on. So much pressure on them. Be lucky to catch 10 fish in 8 hours with one being maybe a slot or better
@ yeah I see how you feel but man, I've been fishing this area since I was 6 years old with my grandfather. My grandfather has been fishing this spot since he came to America. I catch fish every time I go to this spot on artificial. So even with the pressure of ALL the charters and weekend warriors that go here and use live bait, you can still catch on artificial. Meaning, it ain't that bad man. It's about how you fish. I don't care about "spots" at all. You can come to any of my spots and have a bad day or a good day. If you can fish then you can fish man. It doesn't make it harder on myself. You realize the tarpon guides in Tampa Bay literally show the hotels they fish in front of? If you can fish you can fish. If you can't, well...you can't. Sorry you don't like the video man. I can't be all things to all people. Keep it moving brother. 🫡
TH-cam has ruined spots. People are shown exactly where and what to do. Makes it annoying for the locals around here who have to compete with a bunch of broccoli head kids shooting TH-cam content cause they saw someone else online at that spot.
@skidmarkzuckerberg worse part those TH-cam kids think they gonna make it big or have something come out of it where it allows them to continue to be disrespectful and lazy 😂🤦🏽♂️
If you are new to kayak fishing and decide to fish this spot: DO NOT fish here if winds are above 6knots/8mph coming from the north when you plan to return. You will get crushed by the waves, it’s a long route, and it is very challenging to find any cover from the wind. This body of water is not very forgiving, especially on lower-end fishing kayaks. Ask me how I know 🫡🫡🫡

@@JohnPetro-r3z of course!!! This is my hometown. I would love to see Gandy open for my kids well into the future.
This is great babe! Tampa bay needs content like this ❤

Love the vid bro. Wish you were coming out next week
Hey bro! I thought it was the week after next?
@FishingWithHeath you're right!

Good deal!! And definitely. Good tip!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it

Man!! That stinks. Chris Green is a nice rod too!
Yeah , i fish that area back in the days , i cant believe how trashy that area is now ..😢 i do wish people clean up after themselves. Nice channel !
Sad to hear, but glad you enjoyed the channel!
Quick question man. Where do you park when you fish. Like pay for parking areas? I live in tampa and want to start kayak fishing
The new generation of people have very little respect for nature! Every one is doing what is right in their own eyes.
Agree and disagree.
What generation? The newest generation was born in 2013 idk many 11 year olds but I don't think I can blame them for something that's been happening forever
what kayak is that?
Oldtown e-PDL
Only gonna get worse. Apartments being built right behind the crab shack.
Yikes!
How to blow up your own spots 101 😂
@@artificialslinger9730 nah. This is easily a top 3 known spot in Tampa Bay.

Good advice, I've definitely been there before!
