Awesome bro! I had to undergo another surgery and haven't fished in quite some time, but do hope to get back out there again eventually. I am in SE Georgia now where the reds get up in the marsh grass.

Exactly bro, such a fun fish to catch.

Yes it it. Such an amazing fishery.

Sorry for the late reply. I have moved to Georgia and do hope to get back to filming and fishing again eventually. The lover's key boat ramp will put you close to good water. Just fish the mangrove islands in the bay when the current is moving and you can't go wrong. Closer to the Gulf is good Spring, summer and fall, and back on the eastern edge of the bay/creek mouths holds more fish in the winter. Have fun!

That day was gulp jerk shad rigged on a 4/0 owner weedless 1/8oz hook.

Thanks man. I have been recovering from another surgery. I lost 15 feet of my intestines to cancer this time around and it letting my body adapt is a slow process. I hope I can get back out there again soon.

Glad to hear you got back out there. I have been recovering from another cancer surgery. I lost 15 feet of my intestine this time around and letting my body adapt has been a slow process. I hope I can get back out soon.

I'm curious. In what way?

Thanks for checking in. I had to have another cancer surgery a few months back and I ended up losing most of my intestines, so it has been a challenge to get out on the water. My priorities have shifted to spending time with family and trying to grow my cabinet refinishing business so my family will be ok when I am gone. I may have still have some fishing in my future though, so stay posted. A 40" snook sure would be nice...

I’m a Naples local. Window cleaner by trade. Let me know if I can help in anyway!

I am pretty sure it is still closed due to hurricane Ian damage. Let me know how the fishing goes. I haven't been up that way for quite some time, but I miss those waters. They are the best grass flats within an hour drive for me. I am down in Naples, but haven't been able to fish for almost a year since cancer came back. Have a great trip👍

I have not done that. I really want to do it over on the east coast from Dania beach one of these days.

Thanks for watching bro. It may be time you use this strategy again by the time I finish recovering from surgery and am able to get back out there.

Thanks man, I haven't been able to make any videos for a while for health reasons again, but hope to get back to it soon.

Thanks for watching Ron. Sorry for the late reply. I am still sidelined recovering from surgery again. That is an Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal, which is now my extra kayak for my wife/son's. I use an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL now.

Thanks for watching man. I hope I can get back out there by then. My latest cancer surgery has been a tough recovery.

Thanks bro. I tried New Pass once with no luck back when I was still using a paddle. It was much harder to hold position there. I have been wanting to try again with the pedals. It's on my to do list, but I am recovering from another big surgery right now, thus the lack of new videos.

@@jakewkayakfishing8457 sorry to hear that man. I hope you fully recover soon and can get back out there. Thanks for the info, I may give new pass bridge a shot tonight with the full moon, or just cast from shore around some passes. Looking forward to seeing you out there!

Thanks for watching Michael. I hope to get back out and film some more as soon as I recover from my last surgery. This time of year I do best there using live palm sized pinfish, mullet from finger sized up to 8 inch, or cut ladyfish. The fish will be on points with decent current, especially points with submerged oyster bars that extend past the mangrove edge. On high tides they will also be on open grass flats with oyster bars. You can throw artificial at first light until an hour or two after sunrise.

Thanks bro. I am so glad you enjoy the videos. Cancer caught up with me again so I am recovering from another big surgery. Hopefully I can get back out there in a month or two.

@@jakewkayakfishing8457 Prayers on the way. Keep on keepin' on. Your fishing is super and so are your vids! I can only think how great of a person you are.

Sorry for the lack of content recently, my health caught up with me again. Different retrieves work on different nights. I like a quick double twitch on most nights, but sometimes a straight retrieve is better. The key is the be near the bottom.

@@jakewkayakfishing8457 thank u for the response jake, I hope u get well soon 🤙🏻

Sorry for the lack of content recently. I am recovering from surgery again. I like to free line live bait if current allows. With cut bait I go with a knocker rig in heavy current, but often the weight of a ladyfish steak or half a big pinfish is sufficient.

Sorry for the late reply. My health caught up with me again and I am recovering from a big surgery. My rod holder is a YakAttack Zooka. I think the model I have is discontinued and replaced with the Zooka 2, which uses the new lock and load base. I have that base on my camera mount and fishfinder mount and really like it, so have thought of upgrading the rod holder too.

Sorry for the late reply. I have been recovering from surgery again, thus the lack of content. Thanks for watching bro. I hope to get back out there again at some point.

Kenneth, they must be between 28-33 during a certain season to harvest here on the Gulf Coast.

I now have a sportsman 120 and definitely prefer the extra space. It just feels roomier in the "cockpit". It is substantially heavier, but with a cart it is a non-issue. Once on the water it is fast. It is also quieter when stalking the flats. The Malibu is a perfect second yak for my wife or kids though.

Thanks man. It worked out great for me.

It is considerably lighter than my Predator and Sportsman 120.

That is awesome man, congrats. The Gambler 6.5 and 8 inch GZ swimbaits are popular over here for night fishing tarpon and snook. The Sunshine Ace hardware stores here carry big 3/4 to 1.5 oz jig heads for them that I don't see on the Gambler website. I carry them in my night tackle tray, but always end up going back to my flairhawk after a few throws because it is my confidence bait.

Yeah that was funny, lol

Oh no! These old ones are terrible🤣 I still do have that net. I still look down when I pass that area where you lost yours. It must be encrusted in barnacles by now though, lol.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

Thanks for watching Mike. The main reason for switching to the Sportsman 120 was length. I recently bought a Promaster Van for work and I can fit the Sportsman inside with the doors closed. I can actually get the Predator in there if I raise it up and wedge the nose between the seats, but with the sportsman it is just easier. As for Hobie vs Oldtown, I just prefer the instant hands free reverse, especially when I fish the bridges at night for big snook.

@@jakewkayakfishing8457 Thanks for the response. Yes the instant reverse is appealing to me also.

I use 10 lb braid with 25 lb floro for throwing my favorite lure(jerk shad on 1/8 oz weedless hook). My live bait/cutbait rod has 20 lb braid and 40 lb leader because I normally throw big baits(hand sized pinfish or big chunks of ladyfish). My night bridge snook rod gets 30 lb braid and 40 lb floro).

Thanks James👍

At this location the jigs work better for snook. A chunk of blue crab is good to target the big black drum. I have tried big live ladyfish and mullet, but they usually get smoked by giant goliath grouper and sharks.

I show the light in this video: ua-cam.com/video/gRcZmmjRU8w/v-deo.html It is made from an old surf rod, a flashlight, and an plastic spice container(like they sell Italian seasoning in) that I lightly sanded to make it less clear so it really refracts the light.

No because you have to throw it into the current which would put your anchor in front of you. The fish ends up pulling you right over your anchor. Pedal drive is the best solution. I explain it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/gRcZmmjRU8w/v-deo.html

Thanks Steve👍

Sounds like fun. Snook and reds tend to stack up in the furthest reaches of the bays and creeks this time of year. When you find areas with lots of mullet, the reds will be mixed in. Let us know how you do.

@@jakewkayakfishing8457 it was a tough day. Was all over the bay. Got 2 small snooks 2 spotted trout and a big jack. Still a great day.

Not bad for first trip out👍

At the Isle of Capri paddle park

Thanks, it was great grilled.

Thanks John, it had been a while for sure.

Yeah, we usually got lower slot reds and baby snook back there.
