Lousy Fish Found Footage and Faves
It’s winter and I don’t ice fish hard enough to make vids. No Florida this winter either so there’s going to be a pretty long gap in videos. To make up for it, and to scratch my editing itch, here’s some of my favourite on film catches. Some were LF episodes and some were just hanging around, enjoy.

Return to El Jobean | Myakka River Fishing Log 3
Переглядів 1,7 тис.11 місяців тому
Last vid for Florida fall 2023! It's been a couple years since venturing out to the El Jobean, should be doing it more often. Here's Rick and I trying our luck with some live greenbacks under and around the bridge.
My fishing instincts are wrong, let's try the opposite. Myakka RIver Fishing Log #2

I'm back in Florida and this video highlights four different attempts. I only get out a couple hours every day fishing the Myakka, and i'm learning almost every time - but still guilty of pounding the same places with the same lures... let's try something different. Bucket list fish included!
Let's hope there's fish this time! Myakka River Fishing Log

I'm back! In Florida that is. Searching for fish, not sure what's happening in the river these days so i'm chucking everything at everything and hoping for the best. I try and get out for 2 hours or so every morning, some are ok, some are busts, we're a few sessions in and it's still a bit of a grind.
Pikeminnow save the day (bass fail!)

October fishing, great weather, challenging bass but the pikeminnow come to the rescue.

Headed out east to Ontario to try fishing the French River for the first time.
Jack Frenzy!
Переглядів 127Рік тому
This was about a 1.5 hr outing on the Myakka back in February. I'm just posting it now because i've been seriously slacking on the edits! Check it out, Jack Crevalles, I almost wish fishing was always this easy! And once those Jacks hit 5lb they can FIGHT. I can't imagine what a 20lb would do.
MORE Florida Fishing!

I'm back in FLA again in Feb. This time fishing even more casually then before, maybe 1-2 hours every other morning! I managed to get some small ones in this vid and took a few people out during the first week there. Enjoy.

Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
Nik is gone back home, Dad and I head out for a couple of sessions, fishing is generally slow. I start to lose hope (as you do) but we still manage to get a few. I should learn how to edit out the slow times instead of being so share-y! But that's fishing!

Переглядів 769Рік тому
Here's the next 10 minute installment as Nik and I continue our fishing/vacation on the Myakka River. We head out for an hour or two at a time so only take what we can get within that time and distance, fishing is slow but we persevere and catch whatever swims by us. Enjoy!
Fishing Myakka River Series | Part 1: Post-Ian and Fish Bingo
Переглядів 912Рік тому
My brother and I head for a rare vacation in November to Myakka River/North Port Florida for some sun and fishing. We are lucky to even go as Hurricane Ian hit the area hard just 5 weeks prior, and it shows. We make up a fish bingo game and document our short daily outings for snook, redfish, tarpon, jacks and whatever else wants to eat.

Super cool video thank you
Hey guys…it’s a fishing video not a fucking rock concert lose the music
More witty banter, less tunes, on it. Thanks for watching.
Fatty is not nice the way he throws the fish back in the water.
Thanks for watching.
The El Jobean Fishing Pier caught on fire and was shut down in the end of May. Just had picked back up my desire/ability to fish again and I was there a couple days before it got closed.
Wow I didn’t know that! Just googled it, closed for 6 months, maybe they’ll make it better?
This is Windermere lake by Invermere bc correct?
I’m going today there
Nice! Let us know how you do.
I'm pretty sure the bait you're using is called a greenback. Great bait too, caught thousands off of Venice pier
Annual run or are they around a lot?
Didn't see big snook.
Lost the battle!
Lots of great fish. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hey, i moved to fort st john like few days ago. Do you know if the fish you catch there is edible? allowed for human consumption? Thanks
Might want to check with locals. I’ve eaten them before and delicious but it might be a seasonal thing, water gets algae choked in summer. Also has some old stories of sewage issues but I think that’s ancient history too and some folks just put off because they remember how it used to be…
@@LousyFishermen Hey really appreciate with the response! Ill keep that in mind, ill ask around town
I’m staying at Rivers Rest and it’s been slow from the bank.
Hopefully it gets better.
Maybe use a leader?!
Might have done that if I had one.
@@LousyFishermen There is no way you went fishing for Pike without a leader (amateur move)!
Actually honestly I don’t even own them. Flouro is usually good enough but mine needed to be heavier.
@@LousyFishermen Yeah, for sure. I usually use steel leaders. My biggest Pike is around 30 inches and 6-7 lb and if it wouldn't have been for the steel leader I wouldn't have landed it.
@@Caleb.M_Fishing i also never use leaders and have landed pike and musky well over 30 inches...just got to retie your lure after every pike.
Looks like you are around the 41 bridge? Myakka can be tough, but there are some huge snook. Try jerkbaits sometime, i have done well with rapala x raps.
Starting to think it depends on the time of year and weather if there are giants in there or it's barren!
I caught alot of fish out of that lake, there used to be monster jacks in there. The lake has drastically changed in the last 10 years and probably going to get alot more shallow because of no snow or rain. It needs a good flush because of the algae. Fort st John used to get there drinking water from that lake. It was very bad water especially in the summer, the tap water smelled and tasted like the lake.
I've seen the algae. Like a carpet. But used to fish there a lot about 12 yrs ago and you could get 50 walleye in a day, which was wild.
This is cool! My friend and i were out there a few days ago. We usually fish by Harbor Cove and my Tarpon Point/41 Bridge. Hope we see you out there!
Hopefully the fishing was good!
Sadly for a week now it's been dead. My friend caught a little mangrove snapper at the bean and that's been it lol. Using live shrimp and lures. Nothing at the 41 bridge/tarpon point.@@LousyFishermen
A couple of decent size snook. Looked like a good day.
Could’ve landed a few more but not bad for a few hours. Fun either way.
Cool video man. Its always a good day when catching none stop fish. Nice snook buddy. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep them videos coming.
Thanks!
Your Video and Photography are great. Very Professional
Thanks! I like the editing almost as much as the fishing.
What lake is this?
Thats awesome. Makes me miss my Vedder River in the Fraser Valley
I got stronger fishing line than you i have 50 lb test
So, you're back for the season, eh? I've been in Florida all my life and I've never seen such a dry summer! I don't know what effect that will have on this winter's fishing, but we'll see. A couple more good cold fronts should bring the snook and reds further up the river. You might stay alert for cobia down by the bridge. I've seen some whoppers there!
I’m still learning but starting to realize timing in the river is everything and mine is lousy. Keep me posted on how you do!
Congratulations on the Tarpon. I haven’t landed one this year yet.
Thanks!
Awesome.
slay
How far from mangroves do you cast the green backs?
I found the farther out the more you’re getting the catfish, trial and error I guess. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another myakka video! Seems like the reds are out there. Nice new shimano
Hey lousy, do you fish north or south of 41 bridge?
South. Should I try more north?
@@LousyFishermen i haven't tried either yet, going to try kayaking south of the bridge now. Would you fish around the islands?
You’ve got a huge advantage on the kayak you can get into the back cuts off the main river. The fish were super active today, tarpon and snook surfacing everywhere and I still couldn’t get them! Good luck hope you do better!
@@LousyFishermen was able to catch a snook.. ill be back out there tomorrow morning with my terroreyes! Should be good fishing day, if you're back in florida please make a video !
Great!! Workin on vids, little short on fish so far!
Myakka missing lousy rn 😢
For the love of..... lose the awful gopro cameras!! Unwatchable garbage. Especially with your dirty lenses!
First fishing trip of the year. Stupid broken back. That was so much fun. Looking forward to next year.
Nice video hope to fish with you this winter ZIPPY
I’ll be there in just a few weeks, can’t wait!
Need more myakka river content !
Coming very soon! I plan on getting my tarpon crossed off the bucket list.
First! Nicely done!
Thanks!
You can't fish for big pike without a leader. You'll get broken off more times than not if you don't. If you're using lightweight mono, they will cut right through that.
It was 25lb flouro so much better then mono but still not as good as wire for sure.
It took forever to clean all that aluminum and foam out of the mangroves! I'm still not sure we got it all. More keeps turning up and the river bottom is filled with debris. You really ought to invest in a small boat like a Gheenoe or johnboat. It will open up all those creeks, marshes, backwaters, and distant upriver locations to you.
I live around that area, I have hooked huge tarpon off the dock in my backyard. Also seen giant snook schools of jack, and a bull shark swim in front of my dock
Cool! One day I’ll catch a tarpon, on the bucket list.
Awesome video dude! Super helpful for me because I use cheap ones too and I usually put a split shot on to make them fall but I'd like something a little sneakier like your hooks!
Thanks! I find the smallest weights the best, the larger ones sink too quick. Downside is the hooks are not great on any of them.
Canada come get ur boy.
Haha yup! Would love to live there one day.
I used to fish on that pier with my grandpa years ago
Very nice ! Fishing the river is usually a good time !
That was awesome. Love the fight of the jacks. I miss it.
Was this your first Myakka River video? I've watched several others and it seems you've learned a lot.
Thanks, yes it was! As cringy as it may have been, I definitely feel i've come a long way - both in Florida fishing skills and video edits.
@@LousyFishermen Are you coming down next winter? If so, I'll see you there. I live on the river.
It was heartbreaking to see all that trailor-foam blown down and hung in the mangroves from the parks after Hurricane Ian!
Going fishing there tomorrow!!! Wish me luck!!! And love the video!
Thanks! Hope you had fun!
@@LousyFishermen caught a 16 pound monster there!!! Used a five of diamonds
Nice video, new subscriber. Were the roads pretty much clear mid May?
Thanks! Road should be all clear.
Got me dreaming! Thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait for warmer days!
Are you out of Lazy River Village or Village at Riverwalk? Ken
Nice Jack. I miss the fight they put up.
You’ll like next vid coming….
Love the sail cats, not as impressed with the hard heads. Still can’t get into the Laser Eyes.
Sailcats are a fun fight when 3+ lb but may be the slimiest fish on the planet.
