Tight line angler
Приєднався 21 жов 2012
For the past 18+years I have been working in the power line industry. It has been an awesome journey to say the least and I have met some amazing people along the way! Love building those tight lines!…I’m also a father to three beautiful girls! Raising and watching them grow up to be the women they are today has truly been one gods greatest blessings! Growing up myself, I always had great passion for the outdoors. I was never the type kid who would stay in the house all day! Every day after school or in the summertime I would be outside with a fishing rod or a rifle in my hand. While my wife and I were raising our girls, I would always take them fishing and hunting with me as often as I could talk them into it 😂! I did my best to share that same passion for the outdoors with them. Now that they are older, in college’s and building their own lives… I don’t get that opportunity anymore or at least not as much. So now I am making these videos and share those moments with you!
Inshore kayak fishing produces a solid "LIMIT of REDFISH" in an UNFAMILIAR MARSH!!
Navigating through an unfamiliar marsh for the first time! Set out to make the day exploring a marsh system that I have viewed several times on google maps.

Took a chance on exploring a new location. Moses lake was on point today! Found a lot of very skittish redfish stacked in a little back pocket of water on the north end of the lake. I had to throw multiple type's of lures just to figure out what they were after and in the end it was a soft plastic shrimp imitation click bait lure!....WHAT A BLAST!!!!

Thank you sir! And as always thanks for watching!
Awesome video and Congrats. 😎👍💯🎣
Thank you for watching! 🤙 Tight lines bud!!
I was out there fishing with ya man I was unaware of the tournament though until I ran into another kayaker.
Awesome how’d you do? It was definitely a fun tournament to be a part of! Thanks for watching!
@ sounds like it you crushed it man. Nothing like you lol I was getting off nights so I didn’t fish too long but 1 lower slot Red and a couple Just below slot.

Awesome stuff brotha!! Keep it coming!
Thank you sir!
Where is this ?
Freeport tx
Awesome video and nice keeper redfish. Justin from BFA definitely makes good fishing lures.
Yes sir he does! Thanks for watching!
wheres this at
Freeport tx
Where you kind of just blind casting known areas? Can’t believe you hooked up after that boat blew by you lol also congrats on the PB!
So yes.. I was sort of blind casting because the water was sum what murky, But on this particular day I was noticing a lot bait activity on the water’s surface! So I was casting out in front of the bait in hopes that whatever was chasing the baitfish would connect with my lure. In this case the baitfish were small finger mullet and shad!….Thanks watching and the comment!!! Tight lines!! 🤙
Nothing like giving you’re buddy fomo 😂
😂🤣😂 He didn’t miss out on anything!…. He actually did very well!!! He was killing it on catching flounder!
i'm surprised there's nobody casting from on top of you there lol.... the MS bit your shrimp on the bottom, or...?
I mostly worked the other side of the floodgate where no one could get to so I didn’t have to worry about other anglers fishing near me!… and yes I was fishing the bottom with live shrimp!
wonderful video. Did u launch from SLP Country park boat ramp?
Yes sir!
What group did you meet up with? Doesn't look like too terrible of a morning!
Thanks for watching bud! The Facebook group is called Matagorda kayak fishing… and no it wasn’t a bad mourning all! I love fishing Matagorda bay!
@Tightlineangler ah nice, I joined the group last month but haven't been able to make a meet up yet. If you're ever around the park at the end of beach road feel free to pop in and say hi
Great video! You have a very nice kayak setup! I'm wanting to get into kayak fishing soon. I live in Palacios. Hopefully we could go out fishing sometime. I'm new to the area and would like to find the fishing holes.
@@BriantreVino5 Thank you sir for the comment and thanks for watching!…. A friend and I are actually taking a trip down there this Saturday… as far as fishing holes … google maps is a great way to find areas to explore and fish. Just look for public places to launch “ boat ramps and such “ then find the closest marsh area that looks like it has structure like oyster beds and grass line! Good luck and tight lines!🎣
Just watched your last 6 videos in a row. Keep up the good work
Awesome! Thank you!
Just found your channel and sub'd. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching
Thank you so much for the comment and the sub! 🤙
Great video sir I’ve fished for mangrove snappers in the past they are very structurally oriented depending on how deep it is where you were you could drop your bait down right beside you also live finger mullet they like as well some smaller mullet preferably will get you some bigger snapper and keeps other unwanted fish away.
Thanks for the tip! Thank you so much for watching the channel! Glad for all the positive feedback and glad to see a lot of people liking it! Tight lines!🤙
Hello Fellow Angler , Great Start to Ur Channel,,, I Appreciate Ur Efforts & Thanx For Sharing Ur Experiences Out There ,, U Younger Guys Inspire the Older Generations,,, Go Getem Tightline Angler 🐟🤙🏼✨
Thank you so much for the comment! Very much appreciated! So glad to see a lot of people watching and liking the channel! It’s been a lot of fun getting this thing going! Good luck in the future! Be safe and tight lines!🤙🎣
Awesome job and video 👊🏾 those mangroves are kind of thick in there and it’s some nice size ones!! Reds and sheepshead as well
Thanks for watching and the comment!
is there a public place to drop a kayak near by there or do you have to drop it at Riverplace?
Public place half a mile away.
Nice rod you got there! is that custom made?
Yes sir! Thank you, I started making them on the side as a hobby!
Just where the heck is that floodgate? I know of the one at Moses Lake, but have yet to find the Freeport floodgate.
Freeport Tx…. Don’t have an address physical or anything…I literally just stumbled across it the day before, and watched some people fishing that spot and googled a public boat launch close by and decided to go back the next day!
Nice video. Very clear. Your giving up my mangrove spot to the public though. haha. jk. Good thing they can only get there by boat/kayak. We catch them off the dock like crazy.
That’s awesome!… this was my first time fishing this location… didn’t realize it was already so many people’s favorite fishing spot🤣😂🤣!…I literally stumbled across’ed it the day before and decided to come back in the morning with live shrimp!!! …thanks for watching and the comment.
@@Tightlineanglerhey brother. Next trip. Try up against the right hand side of those pillars. Fish bottom with a knocker rig and live finger mullets. There’s a hole there. 3’ 15lb leader with #2 j hook. You’ll thank me later. Good luck my friend.
I heard DJI cameras do a little better with the overheating issue.
YES!… that is my next purchase for action camera. I have a DJI drone and it works great.
Where did you launch from? Thanks for the video.
I launched from a public boat ramp half a mile away from that site.
Good job Brother!
Thank you sir! Thanks for watching and the sub!
@Tightlineangler your welcome. Hopefully you can return the favor and we can hook up fishing. I'm based out of Rockport TX. We have Hobie Kayaks, and an RV parked year-round at Mom and Pop's RV and Fishing Retreat right in Copano Bay. Let me know. God bless and Tight lines! Tom
@@kayakfishersofmen will do! Thanks!
Been wanting to take my kayak deeper inshore, cool stuff man. Water looked nice too.
Yes sir it was! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Where did you launch from to get to that location?
There is a public boat launch about half a mile south of there.
I have found that keeping lure up in the top of water column and going medium-medium fast usually gets those trout to bite under lights
Thanks for the tip!.. and thanks again for watching and the support!
you launch at swan?
Yes sir
Nice catch! 🎣
😘
Nice trout bro
Thank you sir!
I have been wanting to make my way out there would it be difficult to make it there with a peddle kayak looks like you have to cross the channel
Yes, but it’s really not that difficult to cross … but after you cross the channel it gets super shallow… then it’s hand paddling the rest of the way.
@@Tightlineangler thanks man I appreciate the info
@@sprad199118 yes sir! Any time!
am lures makes a small size of their lure that i throw in glow color in the lights like that, gets bit just as good as when i free line shrimp
Nice!
You think they will still run SSS with the rain storms coming this week?
Yeah, I think so. Saturday is still looking good.
Galveston is already starting to flood and it hasn't started raining yet. Promise you them trout won't be in the same spot come Saturday with all this rain heading the this way.
Yeah, you’re probably right! But I don’t think anybody’s gonna know where they’re going to be until they find them.🤙
Need to learn to show your lures on camera. You can see them, we can’t.
Yeah, sorry about that. I couldn’t see which way the camera was facing. Did not know. I only captured half of the lure. It was the only footage that I have so I went with it. Will work on it in the future. Thanks for watching.
nice work man. keep em coming!
Thank you and thanks for watching!🤙🤙
I fish the same areas. Love our bay system. Cheers!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the new yak!! Sick video , I’m going Sunday hopefully I can make a video out of it!!
Hell yea!… well,good luck Sunday! I will keep an eye out for the vid! Thanks again for watching, tight lines and be safe!
3 flounder , good stuff!
Thanks for the comment! It was definitely a good day! Thanks for watching!
near st marys?
No sir!…south side near 3 mile cut!
@@Tightlineangler i heard its good there
@yoink_fishing it can be really good sometimes depending on tide movement and water levels! Thanks for watching and the subscription!
Beautiful work! And it’s an amazing hobby. I’m going on my 50th build myself. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the comment! I’ve made probably about 15 rods giving them away to friends and family! Hopefully I can find away to sell a few to keep the hobby going! At about $120.00 per rod build it’s become an expensive hobby 😂. But extremely fun one at that. Tight lines brother! Thanks again!
Nice bro!!
Thanks you sir! Thanks for the comment!
I'm confused I don't know he making
Custom made fishing rod!
I am always amazed at where beautiful handcraftswork can be found! Really beautiful work!
Thanks you! & Thanks for watching!
Allwater tackle in Manvel is awesome
Yes it is! I was just in there the other day when I talked to the gentleman that owns all water. Hopefully I can get a rod built soon and put in there and see if it will sell.
Thanks for watching by the way
JJ munez is a great guy! I don't Kayak very much but I love to watch The Shallows. I run a 22 foot 2000 Kenner. I run alot in chocolate. Looks like you go everywhere lol
I have a channel but it's just us screwing around and fishing
Yes, I go in a lot of marshes around the Freeport area. Every now and then I will venture out to Matagorda or to W. Galveston Bay.
Good save son
Yea! Thank god for lightning reflexes! Almost lost a good rod and reel!🤣
Is that the TX13 reel
No sir “kastking”
Sheesh what a peaceful day on the water, with some good fish too man. Good stuff. Day ended up being beautiful once that fog rolled out. Nice fishing sir
Thank you!
