Thank you! Wish I knew how to catch those big ones more consistently. They throw down.

Thank you, it was a lot!

Thanks buddy, I didn’t quite get that size for the tournament but still made a few nickels at the end of the day. I’ll be waiting on those videos, that sounds like a fun trip. Flounder on a spinner, they must have been feeding pretty good!

Thanks, yeah stingrays are always fun to fight until you have to unhook them. That’s the biggest flounder I’ve hooked in several years. The big ones always surprise me at how strong they are.

Thanks, yeah it was the biggest one I’ve caught in several years. I’m thinking that area may be stacked with them.

Thank you! No crumbs left

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, it’s a nice lake to fish.

Right off of Hwy 31 NW and close to Bowles bridge rd.

@@Eightmile_Drifter nice. Fished there all my life.

Oh yeah that world pop gets good strikes all year down here. Catches some good ones too.

Thanks, it’s a nice lake with some big bass!

Haha yeah that one had me salty for a while at myself. I’ve made sure to have the tube or a worm tied on at all times since then. Next weekend I’ll have all my tools but I’m planning to run to the creek North of Gravine. Never been there before so it will be a learn as you go deal. Praying for decent winds but nothing too crazy. Hoping to get on a jerkbait bite.

@@Eightmile_Drifter I had thought about Briar but have decided to stay in Byrnes I think. It depends on how crowded it gets with tournament guys. I feel like I can get 3 fish, but it could be a struggle with 6 or 7 guys all hitting the same water. We'll see...

This video was scheduled before the shout out convo. That will be on the next one. 😎👊🏼

Based on the previous year I didn’t think I needed them. So far it’s been my worst trip of the year. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Haha

How are you Lee Lee? How’s School?

The delta is tidal based even many miles upstream so thinking about that is a big key to understanding when fish will feed. Unless the wind is blowing enough to move the water you want to focus on when the tide is pushing or pulling. For bass in the delta you need to master casting close to cover with weedless soft plastics. Target the bases of large trees or laydowns getting as close in as you can. Learning to pitch or skip baits will help here. Hard baits can be effective if you have wind moving the water. But soft plastics are the baits you need to master. On the crappie side of things try to find a creek bend with at least 10ft of water. Look for laydowns with branches or submerged bushes just out of the current flow. The school needs a large enough piece of cover to hide in but there should be a deep area nearby that they can relocate to if they get spooked. I’ll make a cast to an area and count my jig down a couple ft before giving it short hops back to the boat. Next cast let it sink a little deeper. You may have to work an area 5-15 mins before you get your first taker. Once you get one focus on that spot and you can usually get a few more before the school spooks and moves a few feet away. Find where they relocated to and catch a few more. If you snag up and shake the tree top or bush just leave for 30 mins and let them sit. They will calm back down and you can catch em again. In my videos I don’t show all of the lead up casts where I’m gauging depth and working the bend and hunting a school. It can be boring to watch. Finding that first fish is critical because crappie do not live by themselves, they are always in a school. Hope this helps!

@@Eightmile_Drifter Thanks! I appreciate this and will definitely use this info soon

Thank you! They are a blast to catch. It’s a shame they don’t get the same respect as most other gamefish. It’s always an exciting time when you hook into one!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks fam, no cap!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you! It was Parker lake in miss point MS

Thanks, it’s for crappie and bluegill mostly. Some guys use the bfs bass fishing just because of the shallow spool but with normal strength line. But with thin line I can cast 1/32 oz weight a decent way out for pan fish

Thank you! I was worried the whole time. There were so many snags in that area.

Thank you, it was a hoss!

Best I could tell from looking they were the same but I didn’t measure the angle, you could be right. I still have not done well with the shallow.

@@ThePentUpAngler thank you! I like to paddle out to get away from the other yakkers and boaters. The fish are a little less pressured most of the time. I wish I could sight cast all the time. It’s a blast when it works. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@girlfinfishing thanks yeah it’s really nice when the wind is low. All of those islands hold fish and the boats can’t get too close to them. It’s a lot of fun!

Thank you!

Thanks for checking out the video! Glad you enjoyed it. I have quite a few videos from coastal AL and MS. I usually will share the launch and general catch location info. Hope you are able to catch a bunch!

Do you also live in the Eight Mile area?

@@SouthAlabamaPiper yeah

Thank you, it was a good first inshore test. Those reds couldn’t resist.

Thanks bud, I’ve been paddling for several years so I guess my muscles are used to it now. It’s a pretty nice paddle out there as long as the wind is below 10mph. Once I was surrounded by fog heading that way and it was a little eerie. That island holds some great fish so it’s always worth it! Thanks for checking out the video.

It’s a great little corner over there. Loaded with fish.

Thanks Johnny!

A little under 2 hours. Not bad if it’s flat in the open water.

Great day of fishing! That last red you caught was awesome to watch him run after you set the hook! Magnificent looking fish.

⁠@@yakkittymackthanks, it was a fun trip. I wish the area was closer to the ramp and I could fish it more often. Reds are a powerful fish

Thank you! Alligators are not bad about getting close to you unless it’s breeding season or someone has been feeding them. When you get near them they will typically swim away. Thanks for the sub and checking out the channel. I see you have a fishing channel also. I’ll check it out and give a sub as well. Tight lines!

I don’t have the info about the drag strength but I can give you the line info from the back of the box of my 201sg… the 12lb mono capacity is 130yds spool line and 170 to full spool. I’m thinking the spool line number is leaving about an 1/8th from the top of the spool and the full spool number is if you filled it all the way up. Hope that helps. Good luck on finding your 200

@@Eightmile_Drifter thx. I guess what was the diameter of a 12 lb line in 1982 (I think that nowadays Is thinner)

Thanks brother 😎👊🏼. Days like that are why it’s good to have the camera. When you back away and analyze it in a non tournament way it wasn’t a terrible day. Looking forward to the causeway event in a few weeks. That would should be a test also.

It’s an original Jackson Big Rig. Great kayak but very slow. Thanks for checking out the video!

Yea you’re right, I usually take a back paddle stroke after the catch but after taking the photo I end up closer than I need to be often times. That is something I need to be more mindful of especially in tournaments. Thanks for the tip

Thank you!

Thank you, that tube setup helps out tremendously with skipping. It’s a technique I had to learn after having someone fish behind me and catch fish after fish in an area I had just gone through. They were skipping under bushes and I was just casting to the bank. It really does get a few extra bites. Once upon a time I had a pretty good tennis serve but haven’t played in quite a while haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you!

Thank you! Some days are like that

Hey Leon, how’s school been going? Miss you guys.

@@girlfinfishing Thanks, it’s a pretty good area. The bite usually picks up when the wind gets moving. Thanks for checking out the video and for the sub!

It’s a bull bay bayou LMG shorty. I’m not sure they make it anymore. I tried to order another one a couple of months ago from the site and could not find them. It’s a modern day take on a pistol grip.
