Hey, I really appreciate your channel. New patron of the show. I have been to the shop visiting Marty, for kayaking and things, he talked about you and your channel. We will be back. Keep bringing the great content.🤟😎
I have been trying to find some new spots and watching your videos so thank you, do you find your spots are generally channel side of the edge, on the edge, or non-channel side of the edge? Thanks
the spots are on all three. There really isnt alot of consistancy to where any of the locations are, which is great, because some days they are on shallow spots, while other trips they are in 42'
I have watched allot of your videos. I see you guys snap lines way to often...Over and over. It drives me nuts! Why don’t you use heavier line and leader? Increasing your braid and leader by 10lbs-20lbs isn’t a noticeable difference. Your in 50ft of water, what braid/leader are you using?
The snapper in the bay are extremely line shy. I’ve had them come up in the chum and they won’t hit 20lb fluoro leader. I’ve gone down to 10lb and had to use a very tiny hook. Sometimes I start with a jig and after you catch one or two snappers they won’t hit the jig anymore. If you go up to 30-40 leader you will still get the grouper. Fishing the bay isn’t easy and it can be extremely frustrating. I watch these guys videos and he definitely knows what he’s doing.

I have a question which wind direction would I need to avoid trying to fish the Skyway Bridge from my boat thank you
Toddy got a question that big grouper why didn't y'all keep it is grouper season closed
Yes closed till June 1st
. Thanks Todd I could have sworn the season open April I would have messed up I'll see you out there
Do you use/sell jig heads made with circle hooks or regular J hooks? What kind of snappers are you catching?
We have swing jigs with circle hooks and regular jigs with J-Hooks. The snapper that we catch are called mangrove snapper
is there a specific range of tidal coefficient that you find is more favorable to Grouper & snapper?
Nice Gag grouper! 10lb test too👍
What knot do you each prefer to use for the jigs
I use a loop knot and Chad uses a clinch knot.

What's your website

Too bad grouper season is closed now
yes it is, it is painful throwing the gags back.
Todd seems to lose more fish than Chad, just sayin! Knots or maybe horsing them a little too much for that 20lb leader. 🙄
we are using the same leader, it he is just not on the fish as fast because he is talking.....

The braid is not what typically breaks. Normally it is the 20# leader that breaks. If we move up to 30# or 40# leader the bites slow down or stop.
