3F with GF.....Thanks!! We've got a Pile of one & two year old Snook around this year & by next year they will be 25"+. St. Pete is a crowded place...Hernando county is about 60 miles to the North & has about 182,000 people..... not reel populated for a coastal county.
It’s Jane...Ken keeps telling me about these red fish you catch...had to come by and see👀 They are beauties! The opening shot was so beautiful...water so still and sky so lovely...looked almost like a painting. That 28 inch one look like a work out...woot!
Life with Ken and Jane....Thanks!! I love running to & from the Refuge before daylite & after sunset... The Colors & Stillness can be Xceptional!! Try to film all the Finns with the sun @ my back to Highlite the color enhancement due to the Tannic Stained water coming into the Gulf from the Swamp!!
Ozk Fishing....Thanks!! Mine is a 15'-3" Landau which was made in Missouri(No longer made) & has a tunnel 4 runnin' in Skinny water here on the Florida Gulf Coast. It's a stand up tiller with a 25 Yamaha 2 Stroke. It's capable of running in 5" of water !! Appreciate you stopping by!!
I started with a 15 HP Evinrude & switched 2 the 25 Yamaha a while back....Running a 4 Blade prop which pushes me to 29 mph @ the top end!! The 15 would do about 22 mph...so you could do reel well with the smaller motor!! I'll tell you small motors are hard to find that haven't been ragged out!!
Ga Angler....Thanks!! Trying with Flies is tough!! Most of the time the water is less than 2 ft. & relatively clear....thus the Reds are reel spooky. I pole the boat to maximize stealth!!
Jag Fishing.....Thanks!! The Refuge where I'm fishing is 33,000 + acres of a Fresh & Salt Mixx. It's fairly remote & requires a skinny water boat 2 get around in. Where are your Catchin' Adventures taking place!!

BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics.....Thanks!! Probably the best day in the Refuge this year!! The editing software is Cyberlink Power Director 15. It has an Easy Editor Program that is fairly fast & intuitive. Most of the videos take about an hour to produce. It came with a function that allows me to set the Cam parameters while editing which I set @ 1080p@ 60fps which corresponds to the settings on the Go Pro Hero5 Sessions which I use....Thanks 4 inquiring!!
Josh White....Thanks!! You could from Pine Island at the Park!! It's over a mile & a half from Pine Island to the southern boundary of the Refuge & over 4 miles to where I flew from so it's quite a hike & there's 25 miles of Refuge....Good Luck!!
You don't have to go that far to catch Reds, Snook or Trout!! Once in Pine Island Bay to the east there is Higginbothem & Eagles Nest ....It's a jungle in there with lots of creeks & a pile of Mangrove passages....Good place to start....Sea Ya!!

It's been a grind down here and I spent 10 hours on the Lagoon down here without a bite , Rain and water conditions are not looking good for us .Good to see someones catching fish, Nice looking reds for sure !
Robert Agri Chillin' Outdoors....Thanks!! Good old Brutal Summertime Blues!! I'm only fishin' on the pre-dawn high tides which means about 4 to 6 days & then I'm back @ the house by 9:30!! Appreciate you visiting the West Coast!!
Looked like an awesome time out there my friend!
Edgewood Outdoors....Thanks!! I had one of those days that just about everywhere I heaved a Topwater the fish were all over the Plastic....Knot 2 many like that!!
Love it..... hearing that drag scream is nice... cant wait to go get back on some Reds myself
OutlawTV....Thanks!! Topwaters & Screamin' Line Reely get me Crank'd!! Makes fishin' worth while on lite tackle!! Have you ever tried the Freshwater Lakes that Texas has stocked with Redfish!! I hear they get quite Large......Appreciate U stoppin' by!!
@@WesLovelace yes just did a trip to Calaveras and got on a few two weeks ago.... Video is on the channel
Yep & I eyeballed the Critter & commented... So much 4 the Memory!!
@@WesLovelace lol yup happens to the best of us
Bro that place looks so fun to fish! Great stuff bro!
Enthusiastic Fisherman....Thanks!! It's 33,000+ acres of Wilderness with very limited access Xcept by Boat...& most days especially @ Dawn I never hear or sea a Boat...Glad you could Reel over!!
Nice job man👍
Weekend warrior outdoors....Thanks!! One of those days where the Finns were where I decided to heave plastics!!
Nice!!
Rippin lips57....Thanks!! This was probably my best day 4 Bigg Redfish this year...The Critters seemed to be following me around...LOL!! Appreciate U following the Adventure in the Refuge!!
Great job as always Wes
PITDAWG 1977 1977....Thanks Carlos!! A rare one of those days where the Critters were everywhere I went!! Saw you go by the other day during the rain....How was the Catchin'!!
Wes Lovelace also a great day only a few reds and a bunch of snook I guess the pressure before the rain storm got them hungry lol
Sweet...Like hearing those results...Tight Lines & have a great weekend!!
I wasn't sure what I was going to do today but I just made my mind up for you did I'm going fishing
Walker Outdoors.....Thanks!! I'd like 2 but day after day the Coast here is getting hammered...4" yesterday & almost 5" today & it's still raining!! Hope you found some Biggins'!!
Great video bud! That one fish was a giant! Woah I had more redfish in my area haha
Osny_fishing_adventures....Thanks!! Today was the Day of the Biggins' & Whoppas....Wish everyday was like that....Glad U could drop in!!
Awesome video man!!
CoreyBanksFishing....Thanks!! Yesterday wasn't the Norm.....I'm usually runnin' all over the Refuge lookin' 4 fish...this Adventure kept a smile on my face the whole time!! Appreciate U Reelin' over to the Chazz!!
Nice
Pinmook channel....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by....
full viewed my friend to gain you more views
My Korean DreamS....Thanks!! Appreciate u following the Adventure in the Refuge!! Have a great day....
that little snook looked nice, never fished near st. pete
3F with GF.....Thanks!! We've got a Pile of one & two year old Snook around this year & by next year they will be 25"+. St. Pete is a crowded place...Hernando county is about 60 miles to the North & has about 182,000 people..... not reel populated for a coastal county.
It’s Jane...Ken keeps telling me about these red fish you catch...had to come by and see👀 They are beauties!
The opening shot was so beautiful...water so still and sky so lovely...looked almost like a painting.
That 28 inch one look like a work out...woot!
Life with Ken and Jane....Thanks!! I love running to & from the Refuge before daylite & after sunset... The Colors & Stillness can be Xceptional!! Try to film all the Finns with the sun @ my back to Highlite the color enhancement due to the Tannic Stained water coming into the Gulf from the Swamp!!
Nice jon boat! I'm rolling a 1436! 👊
Ozk Fishing....Thanks!! Mine is a 15'-3" Landau which was made in Missouri(No longer made) & has a tunnel 4 runnin' in Skinny water here on the Florida Gulf Coast. It's a stand up tiller with a 25 Yamaha 2 Stroke. It's capable of running in 5" of water !! Appreciate you stopping by!!
@@WesLovelace super nice man! I need to find a decent outboard for mine too, been looking at a 15hp!
I started with a 15 HP Evinrude & switched 2 the 25 Yamaha a while back....Running a 4 Blade prop which pushes me to 29 mph @ the top end!! The 15 would do about 22 mph...so you could do reel well with the smaller motor!! I'll tell you small motors are hard to find that haven't been ragged out!!
Eyeballed your setup from a month ago...starting out with a clean slate....& there all sorts of possibilities!!
VERY very good job ! You've got a new supporter !! I just subscribed to your channel.
Andrew Kasyanov....Thanks!! Glad you could take a boat ride to the Refuge...I"ll Reel over to your channel!!
Nice red! I'm still trying catch my first on the fly
Ga Angler....Thanks!! Trying with Flies is tough!! Most of the time the water is less than 2 ft. & relatively clear....thus the Reds are reel spooky. I pole the boat to maximize stealth!!
Man that looked like a good time.... i get a lot of bass action but would love to try this out!!!! Good video
Jag Fishing.....Thanks!! The Refuge where I'm fishing is 33,000 + acres of a Fresh & Salt Mixx. It's fairly remote & requires a skinny water boat 2 get around in. Where are your Catchin' Adventures taking place!!
@@WesLovelace it looks absolutely amazing man! Thats when a good kayak will come in handy haha. Im fishing up in New York. I am actually going up to Lake Ontario this coming week to try and get on some salmon!
Good luck!!
great vid sweet
big fish....Thanks!! Appreciate you taking a ride to the Refuge!!
You catch this fish early in the morning?
Matescium....Thanks!! That morning I was in the Refuge @ sunrise with the High Tide & was back @ the Shack about 9:30. The last fish was about 9AM because it takes me about a 1/2 hour to get home....Appreciate U stoppin by!!
Hey I stumbled over your videos, nice work, you way back there huh,,,i recently bought a place is Sassa , looking forward to exploring with my skiff and kayaks. Keep the content coming ,thanks
Ricky Wolbert
Coastal Kayak Fishing Adventures.....Thanks Ricky!! I've been roaming the back country for quite a while from Aripeka to the Wacasassa River....Knot sure there is a better area for flippin' plastic.....Catch you on the flip!!
@@WesLovelace I agree that's why I want to settle there ,,my dream shack..
Take care
So reds....look alot like Carp.....and Corn works really good for Carp....anyone ever try that for Reds?
Just Let Me Travel....Thanks!! Redfish are a Saltwater species & are not veggie eaters. Shrimp, Crabs, live bait, & what I use this time of year....TopWater Rattle Plastic Baits!! Not aware of anyone using corn it's not part of their diet!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
nikos...Thanks!! Six Thumbers is better than 5 Stars....Appreciate you checking the Adventure out!!
lucky fishes are freed
My Korean DreamS....Thanks!! When I'm fishing in the Refuge I'm strictly Catch & Release!!
NIce!
Matt Blackfish...Thanks!! Appreciate U taking a trip to the Refuge!!
My buddy from Florida tells me snook fights like striper on steroid. I need to go down there catch me some snook. 😀
MooMoo Outdoors....Thanks!! Snook don't get as Bigg as Stripers but are great leapers & max @ about 50 lbs. Stripers are Bulldoggs but aren't leapers + Stripers dig in for the long haul!! Glad you could stop in!!
That was a good day ! I love your camera (or editing software), because those colors really popped ! What are you using, Wes?
BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics.....Thanks!! Probably the best day in the Refuge this year!! The editing software is Cyberlink Power Director 15. It has an Easy Editor Program that is fairly fast & intuitive. Most of the videos take about an hour to produce. It came with a function that allows me to set the Cam parameters while editing which I set @ 1080p@ 60fps which corresponds to the settings on the Go Pro Hero5 Sessions which I use....Thanks 4 inquiring!!
Could you make it out there in a kayak?
Josh White....Thanks!! You could from Pine Island at the Park!! It's over a mile & a half from Pine Island to the southern boundary of the Refuge & over 4 miles to where I flew from so it's quite a hike & there's 25 miles of Refuge....Good Luck!!
@@WesLovelace sweet! Looks nice out there I'll have to go check it out!
You don't have to go that far to catch Reds, Snook or Trout!! Once in Pine Island Bay to the east there is Higginbothem & Eagles Nest ....It's a jungle in there with lots of creeks & a pile of Mangrove passages....Good place to start....Sea Ya!!
@@WesLovelace thanks for the info! Tight lines!
What's better than That 1st bite in the am. Another solid production brother keep hanging those reds for me
D.Nasty Fishing....Thanks!! Get out early & get home by 9AM!! The hell with this Brutal Heat!! One of those days where the Finns were following me around!! Have a great weekend!!
Great stuff as usual mate.
Weflikin Fishing & Outdoors....Thanks!! Probably about the best day this year...Finns everywhere...just don''t sea that 2 often....Glad U could stop by!!
