I've been shore fishing in Jax for a while now. I've been wanting to get on the water, just picked up a 14' malibu kayak last week. Found your channel this week. it's got me pumped to get out there and fish. Thank you, fellow Asian fisherman, for your content!
I really enjoy your videos! Super high quality(great B-roll) and very informative. After watching I always get excited for the weekend to go fishing on my boat. Thanks for the time stamps!! By the way, I’ve never had a lot a luck with hard bait, and even a lot other fishing TH-camrs seem to have a hard time with them as well. They’re fun to buy, but not as good, at least for me, as the soft plastics.
I’ll choose soft plastic over the hard ones any day. I think if there’s trout around you can do good with them, other than that🤷♂️ How often does someone catch a flounder on a hard bait, right? Lol But thanks for the nice comments! Go get them this weekend!💪🎣
Thanks man! And to think I almost didn't drop a bait to try it out. Was gonna head straight back to under the bridge. Ended up skipping it completely lol
I fish that area all the time in my Jon boat. Crab island right by the boat ramp, is also one of my favorite places to fish. Nice job, and I really enjoyed the video!
You know I paddled to that bridge once and it took forever. Never tried by the power lines. I usually just stick by the boat ramp on Rogero and do really well in that zone. Great day!
It was pretty damn far lol. But totally agree with you about staying by the boat ramp. I just had to find out if there were any sheepshead under those power lines😅
The 1st time I dumped my kayak was about 50 yards from Lonnie Wurn.😂 I was still a rookie. Let's just say, I bought a life jacket the next day. It was in the dead of winter too. I was lucky I was somewhat close to the boat ramp. Anyways, great videos man. I enjoy them.
Oh wow! Ironically, my first kayak trip ever was also at Lonnie Wurn. It didn’t end up like your trip but glad you made it out ok! Thanks for supporting the channel!👊
Not sure when I’ll make it back out that far again but will def give that a try. I can see it being deadly especially on a higher part of the tide. Thanks for the advice!🤙
I remember when the tarpon came to Mill Cove before the construction of the Dames Point bridge. Since then the Cove has become really skinny water. Would not advise fishing low tide.
Oh yeah, several yeah ago, the first boat I ever owned on the first day I used it, I took it to the cove. And not knowing how shallow low tide was out there, I ran aground and my motor died. I was past the bridge and launched at Lonnie. I had to use my trolling motor all the way back to the ramp, against the tide. Luckily I made it as it got dark😅
lol I have a Mill Cove story about the time my buddy & I spent the night in the Cove waiting for the tide to rise, but I won't elaborate. lol This was in my teen years, early 70's.
lol Careful whatcha wish for! Around midnight we were heading home from downtown. (Ramoth Dr just past Clapboard Crk/Palms). It was dark; Dames Pt Br was still years away and Blount Island was just beginning to develop, so there were no 'landmark' lights. We'd partied a little. So, I made the turn too soon. I cut into the Cove just past Goat Island instead of staying in the channel swinging wide around the Cove. I hit Dad up on VHF to let him know the sitch. Fortunately, the tide was in-bound and we were floating within a couple hours and I tip-toed back out to the channel and headed back to the home dock with no further 'issues'. (We were in our 1970 24' Stamas 'Clearwater', I/O, cuddy, V-bunks fwd...heavy boat not suitable to go blasting into Mill Cove in the middle o the night with a buzzed teenager at the helm!) lol Told ya!
Thank you! It was starting to be low tide and if I didn’t get out of there, may have been stuck in the mud. So I’d say 2-3ft or little more around high tide, and almost not navigable at low, depending on the moon phase.
I’ll be moving to the Jacksonville area around September. Maybe we can do a meet up. I’m currently in Upstate NY but originally from Miami. Yulee or Oakleaf are my moving destinations.. any good spots around that area? Thanks in advance man!! FISH ON!!! Appreciate the content ..
Definitely! I actually lived in Ft. Lauderdale and Kendall for several years back when I was in school. But out of Yulee and Oakleaf, you'll have better access to fishing in Yulee. It's a small town but the Nassau river runs right through Yulee and Fernandina, which is directly east. You'll catch all kinds of fish in the nassau river and all of its tributaries/feeder creeks. Good luck with the move!
I was riding my boat out there in mill cove just past the dames point right where those towers are and there is a huge sandbar right in the middle of the river where it's like 5 inches deep at low tide 🤦
Lol man, the day of this video, my kayak prop ran onto the same sandbar you’re talking about. I can only imagine how many boats have ran aground there. Actually I did in my very first boat, long time ago lol
@@matthewbruce5682 my first trip in the cove was a disaster. I was solo, and after hitting that sand bar, my motor sucked up too much sand/mud and stopped peeing. I ended up having to use my trolling motor from there to get me all the way back to Lonnie Wurn, against the current. Took over an hour and trolling motor battery died right when I got the the boat ramp😂🤦♂️
@VISUAL-LY that sandbar is definitely a force to be reckoned with then lol. I'm glad you made it back safely ill make sure I'm treading carefully in areas I'm unsure of
Hi Mark, sorry I can’t take on any new projects at the moment. I have way more than I can handle through my daily work. Perhaps once I have more free time, can take on more side gigs. Appreciate the inquiry though!
I don’t know when we went from keeping our spots a secret to spilling the beans on TH-cam of all places this is the exact opposite of how I grew up because the worst thing is when you go out to enjoy a fishing spot and have it all to yourself because YOU have blood sweat and tears out there figuring out all this stuff in the rain, before daylight on the coldest day of year just to get a little money from TH-cam I hope you get rich! Thanks for bringing more people to my fishing while I don’t do it for money
It's still the same. It's the idiots that don't understand fish do migrate and keep spots a secret. Fish location changes all the time. Some places like this cove just happen to be consistent. People aren't flocking there.
@@treadingwater247 let me check out marketplace real quick. Ideally, if you plan to mainly fish out of your kayak, you want a sit on top style. Something stable and lots of room for fishing gear. I high seat would be nice too. You may be able to even find one with foot pedals around your price range. That’s the game changer for fishing. Let me see if I see any good deals out there in or around our area. Get back to you…
@@treadingwater247 I found a good one! On marketplace search bar, type in “pescador 12ft pilot”. You should see a blue kayak pop up located here in Jax. Offer lower than asking and see what seller says. But that is the best kayak I see available on marketplace right now. Good luck!

Another awesome video
love the music, the editing and especially all the fish. that was a long trip!
Too long of a trip! Lol
Ready to do our 1v1 challenge?😁
That one pylon was LOADED! Awesome catches, thanks for sharing.
Thanks man! And to think I almost didn't drop a bait to try it out. Was gonna head straight back to under the bridge. Ended up skipping it completely lol
@VISUAL-LY I've learned from bass fishing Lake George that you NEVER pass up an isolated pylon.
@@bjschofied1 seems like a good rule to follow. I’ll be trying way more pylons from now on🙌
I fish that area all the time in my Jon boat. Crab island right by the boat ramp, is also one of my favorite places to fish. Nice job, and I really enjoyed the video!
Thanks Scott!🤙 Glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely some really fishy areas all over the cove. But also a tough place to figure out😅
Great video like always. Keep it up. Tight lines brotha.
Thanks man! Tight lines!🎣
And that there my friends is fishing! What an adventure broh!
Thanks brother!!👊I need to go back and try the power lines at high tide. There might be some there👀
You know I paddled to that bridge once and it took forever. Never tried by the power lines. I usually just stick by the boat ramp on Rogero and do really well in that zone. Great day!

Sweet video and great day of fishing 👍
Thank you sir! Long trek but it was worth it!🙌
Have a request, can you start adding the date on your opening description. 🙃
I can’t provide everything now lol. I’ll see about that😂
Not a bad trip. Nice catch.
Appreciate it!👊👊
Awesome video and a nice fishing trip.
Thanks bro! Wish it wasn’t so far lol
Yep, I only cover up to the entrance of the icw.
The 1st time I dumped my kayak was about 50 yards from Lonnie Wurn.😂 I was still a rookie. Let's just say, I bought a life jacket the next day. It was in the dead of winter too. I was lucky I was somewhat close to the boat ramp. Anyways, great videos man. I enjoy them.

Way to find them man!
Thanks brother! That was a mission!🎣
Bro those sheepheads are strong! Would love to fish them one day
You’re welcome to visit anytime brother. We have room at our house!🤙
@@VISUAL-LY thanks bro!
Another day at the office! Some nice scissors ✂️
Only the best from mainga V!👊👊
you might want to troll a bait on those transits - like a 3" Storm Wildeye swimbait. The pearl color is killer...
Not sure when I’ll make it back out that far again but will def give that a try. I can see it being deadly especially on a higher part of the tide. Thanks for the advice!🤙
Loving the videos. Thanks
Appreciate the support!👊
Started a drinking game with this video, everytime you caught a fish I took a drink...lmao went thru a 6 pack in a heartbeat
😂😂crazy! Watch the redfish cheat code video and play that game again lol
Great video!, what app are you using, I like the way the information is displayed.
Thank you!! I just use iMovie, free Apple app lol

BTW, I enjoy your vids! I've watched a number of them. Always very interesting and informative.
Heading down to JAX in May and will be leaving the Chesapeake Bay Area of VA! Loving the content. What Kayak do you run?
Chesapeake is an area I’d like to fish one day! But it’s also good here so hopefully you don’t miss much lol. I have a native slayer propel
@@VISUAL-LY Awesome! Maybe we will run into one another on the water soon!
@petekenny614 for sure! Say hi if you see me🤙
Awsome video where did you catch fiddlers at
Thank you! We had a couple warm days last week so the bait shops had them. I got mine from Arlington Bait tackle.
another great vid! How deep was the water over there?
by the power lines

@@matthewbruce5682 💯💯just be careful in the cove anywhere around low tide. Even sketchy on a kayak lol
What you using to tie up to the pylon? I was planning on making my first kayak fishing trip this weekend but the weather seems bad
Just using a standard blue dock rope. Tying it to my anchor trolly system so I can control how my kayak drifts and turns. Be safe out there!
Would like to discuss some graphic art work. 🎨 you were referred by fishermen's friend.
Thank you
Mark

👍
Thanks brother!👊👊
I love that color Where did you get it from ?
The hard bait?
Your soft bait
Usually order online, basspro or Amazon. Sometimes Academy and strike zone has too

Mill Cove’s greatness is no secret! The breaks in the oyster bars by the power lines are killer during tide shifts.
I hope you get rich as well. Good luck with your channel!
I like your videos, keep doing your thang.
@@swag1040 Appreciate it!🤙

do you ever do any big bull red fishing?
Never from a kayak, only boat. I’m not crazy about it but I may try it this year from kayak just for the experience (and video) lol
@@VISUAL-LY ive never tried it from the yak either . i do have some spots by clapboard that would be good to try.
@@dashero11 oh cool. I would prob try near dames point and goat island
What rod are you using for the sheepshead and are you in the tournament coming up
That’s a custom rod from a guy out in Louisiana, CDCustom rods. Thinking about joining, not 100% yet though. Would be a cool video to document the day
@@VISUAL-LY it’s a beautiful set up might have to look into them thanks
@@TropicanaFishing His name is Corey. Look him up on IG. Cdcustomrods. Not sure if he still does it or not but I love this rod for Sheeps🙌
Did you put in at Lonnie Wurn?
Yes sir. That was quite a journey!
@@VISUAL-LY I bet. Looks like it was worth it though.
@@colinfauntleroy7800 won’t be doing that too often😅
im trying to start out kayak fishing and been looking on marketplace for a yak any recommendations ? i found a vibe seaghost 130 is that any good
What’s your price range? I can recommend some
@@VISUAL-LY im looking for right at 1000 maybe a little more never kayak fished before so ddnt wanna go too exspensive or too cheap
