I know your enthusiasm of the water clarity is REAL. I know that water and it is super rare to get that kind of clarity in Galveston Bay. What a treat!
Swan is a great redfish lake especially on a low tide, and that little reef by the old stevedores camp is a good winter time fishing on a incoming tide. & all the rip rap along the SE side of the old causeway RR bridge, but in the winter I’ll take off colored moving waters over clear it holds more heat and fish seem to feed more aggressively in it? I really like that little skiff it’s seems very versatile and can get skinny! Nice fishing!!
Amazing clear water footage dude. Fished the Galveston Bays my whole life (mostly east bay) and not sure I've ever been out on a day where the water was that clear. Love the channel, just watched a few videos in a row. New sub for sure man keep it up.
Great videos new sub. I will be in texas city in July hopefully I'll see you out fishing I like how you give out the general area you go to fish it really helps people like me who have no clue what I'm doing in salt water!
I have been fascinated by the solo skiff but am concerned about my balance in it. I have arthritis in one knee and don't have the sea legs I used to have. How is the balance standing on it? Did you have to get used to it?
Love the channel man, I’ve been to Texas city dike but I always get skunked, any tips I usually fish on the jetty’s or the beach site. Any tips would be awesome !
@@KagenFishing the new maps from today are really good maps to have but if you can get a hold to some maps from the 50s and 60s like I have they Mark a lot of really great locations some of them went to reprint and they labeled them with different names however when you hear someone say a name you never heard those are considered old salts an old map can be really valuable especially when you're looking for the old intercoastal and ghost rigs if you can get your hands on any they're worth it keep a tight line that water was really clear
Kagen Fishing about twice as clear as you had and just a tip about that area it’s not very good on a high tide. I usually throw a red head w white body skitter walk top water when I fish there.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I have a little solo skiff rigging video that I have done previously. But I agree that I should do one now since I’ve have had time using my rig the way it is and I love it!
I’m thinking of getting a solo skiff. Right now I have have a 19 outback and a 19 17’ coastal skiff that gets real shallow but not quite kayak shallow. I was thinking of selling my outback for a solo skiff because the stretch of water I live on now is about 4 miles one way to where I like to kayak fish. What do you think about the solo skiff vs outback? I love my boat but sometimes I just want to put in quick from my yard and not pack the boat and not make the trek in the kayak at the same time if that makes sense. Love the videos and been binge watching.
Mud Duck Fishing I had an outback and went to the solo and every time I take my skiff out im happy I made the switch. The solo gets skinnier than my outback did and having the motor to spot hop and then get home quick is game changing. I also still launch my solo in the same ditch like spots that I launched my outback in.
Kagen Fishing I was thinking the same thing. Spot hopping is my main issue where I live now because spots aren’t as close together as the last area I lived. Thanks for the reply
Man you've been gettin some good drone footage, new challenge, you should make your own solo skiff commercial haha, who knows maybe solo will pay you for it.
Travis Baetz thanks man! I often converse with the owner of solo skiff Tom and I think he feels that my videos are already a commercial for them haha. Cool idea tho!
good video - you need to be an expert to ride the skiff among big tankers - FYI never go to gyb area since pilot boats take off from gyb and go to north jetty and back .. every time I see them I am yelling and stopping since my 20 ft boat gets pounded by 4 to 6 ft waves .. I hate them
boashna I work in UTMB and I can see down where the pilot boats blast in and out from where I work. Yah they fly in and out of there with no real regard for any other boat. I get it they have a job to do but it does get sketchy! I have gone over some of those rollers once in the solo skiff. Just have to make sure to you go straight into them at slow speed, the self bailing hull was a life saver cause any other skiff without that feature would have got swamped.
The main solo skiff distributor in Houston is Brice Sanchez he doesn’t have a store but hit him up on Facebook. Just search his name and send him a DM great guy!
Great video. Love the solo skiff. I'm Trying to work out a way to buy one soon. Until then I'll keep paddling lol. The paddle clip has been out of stock for 3 months. Also a great idea but can't get one. I have resorted to making my own. Part is on the way
I just pre ordered one when it was out of stock and was sent a week after purchasing it. Sounds like they just can’t keep up with orders so if you pre order one you will get it in a respectable amount of time.
I would like to know this as well, I cannot tell what he called it and even the closed caption calls it a rex tiller paddle holder no google search gets a hit on that name.
Hey dude love the videos , I've got a solo skiff and a mavic pro aswell. My question is how are you taking off and landing with that drone. I know a lot of UA-camrs like the phantom for the legs to grab hold of. I completely understand why you wouldn't want that one for storage reasons. Just trying to get my drone out while I fish here in Florida. Wondering how you are doing it. Keep up the good work
Im glad you enjoy the vids! Its sketchy but I hand launch (just hold it and hit launch on remote and it will take off from hand) make sure there isnt anything like rods up in the air for it to run into. ALso you have to be sitting still or it will fly sideways into water. Then landing I get it turned sideways grab the underneath it and then turn over untill it shuts down... Practice over ground first haha. Good luck and I would love to make a trip to florida to fish in the solo!
@@KagenFishing Thanks for the info man. Let me know if you want to come down here. I live in Bradenton there is a ton of places here to fish. Im also going to start diving off my solo and do some spearfishing
Sweet video man! What are you using to hold your paddle on your belt? I push pole my Solo Skiff and that would come really really handy. Thanks, keep doing what you doing. Cheers!

Hey Bud Join our FB group called Dirty Bay Anglers based out of Baytown and members are in Clear lake, Texas City area too. Would be cool for you to post your videos there too. Great Videos!
its nice to see people from our area catching nice fish and sharing knowledge with the new fisherman
I know your enthusiasm of the water clarity is REAL. I know that water and it is super rare to get that kind of clarity in Galveston Bay. What a treat!
Really enjoying your videos. It’s how I keep the powder dry while waiting for the country to open up again. It motivated me to fix my boat.
That was a hilarious day of catching!!!
Can't wait to try our new kayaks based on your videos. My wife and I are hooked. Ty
Texas city resident! Watching my skiff is almost here
Great video dude, we don't see too many sight fishing in Galveston videos!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great video! And what a great day of fishing! The water clarity makes it extra special!
Jeanette Polinard When you get nice clear water like that In this area I get a little excited! Haha
Yeah you’ve convinced me this is the way to go
cheers from Anahuac bro...fresh water up here on the north ridge now thanks to Livingston damn...SUX

Jerry Stephenson Awesome! Thanks for subbing. I’m glad you are enjoying the content.
Wow!!! I wld love to see that clear water...It looks so good ..None here in Kansas...🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽
Tight lines awesome 🎣
Awesome day, nice video
New to your channel. Great content. Awesome you actually keep some fish to eat, in comparison with bass fishing.
Amazing clear water footage dude. Fished the Galveston Bays my whole life (mostly east bay) and not sure I've ever been out on a day where the water was that clear. Love the channel, just watched a few videos in a row. New sub for sure man keep it up.

It's been great following your channel this year man. Cheers for a lot more redfish/trout and flounder adventures like this. Happy new year !
Good job kid. Keep it up.
best of luck on your channel, got a new sub
Great videos new sub.
I will be in texas city in July hopefully I'll see you out fishing I like how you give out the general area you go to fish it really helps people like me who have no clue what I'm doing in salt water!
Peter Garcia thanks for the awesome feedback and supporting the channel!
These north winds making the tides too low for boats...that's why I love my kayak.
NHK Outdoors that’s one of the major benefits of shallow floating kayaks/skiffs!
Badass video
Have you done night fishing by the kemah boardwalk you can get some monster reds the biggest one I've gotten was a 43" red and a 40" black drum
MTZ Fishing I have some night fishing under the causeway but never the Kemah bridge! Sounds like something I will have to try!
@@KagenFishing yeah give it a shot, and good luck on growing your channel keep on the good work
Great video!!
Heck yea 11k views nice!! 🔥 Baby!!
I have been fascinated by the solo skiff but am concerned about my balance in it. I have arthritis in one knee and don't have the sea legs I used to have. How is the balance standing on it? Did you have to get used to it?
Yah you do have to pay attention to what you are doing but it’s pretty dang stable
Where is this I live near there!?
Great Video! If you fall in the water with your paddle holder you can fight off the sharks! lol
manny Haha true!
@@KagenFishing I am too short to use that paddle holder. If I bent down to pick up a fish I would be Paddle Blocked!
Love the channel man, I’ve been to Texas city dike but I always get skunked, any tips I usually fish on the jetty’s or the beach site. Any tips would be awesome !
mserrano22264 live bait finger mullet, croaker or shrimp when jetty fishing is very helpful same on beach side.
Swan Lake is also known as Campbell's Bayou there's some really big trout caught over there during the winter months
South from Texas Never heard it called Campbell’s bayou before. Thanks for sharing that information!
@@KagenFishing the new maps from today are really good maps to have but if you can get a hold to some maps from the 50s and 60s like I have they Mark a lot of really great locations some of them went to reprint and they labeled them with different names however when you hear someone say a name you never heard those are considered old salts an old map can be really valuable especially when you're looking for the old intercoastal and ghost rigs if you can get your hands on any they're worth it keep a tight line that water was really clear
If you get far enough in there there's an old Cemetery from the 1800s
I’ve seen the water clearer in there and always surprised the fish aren’t spooked more.
Big T wow that’s insane that it get even clearer. I know water clears up during winter but I was still surprised when I got out there.
Kagen Fishing about twice as clear as you had and just a tip about that area it’s not very good on a high tide. I usually throw a red head w white body skitter walk top water when I fish there.
I thought swan lake was in freeport? Did you mean Moses/dollar bay?
Either way good fishing!
Where are you fishing out of in Louisiana?
Awesome Video
Thanks for watching!
Nice video bro!!!
Reelfishyaker thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Is there a way to know water clarity before driving out there?
You can look at salinity charts and check random web cameras that look at the bay or gulf to get some idea but that’s about it
Bro come to corpus ! All the water in the laguna madre is way clear!
Jodie Penn I will be making a trip down there in the next coming months for sure!
I actually live by here and would love to do that
Happy New Year
I’m a new subscriber to your channel
Great videos
Would you make a video on how your skiff is setup?
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I have a little solo skiff rigging video that I have done previously. But I agree that I should do one now since I’ve have had time using my rig the way it is and I love it!

Oh nice, were you the one who was saying Tom said to run ethenol free gas?
Travis Baetz I don’t remember specifically saying that but I know I run ethanol free gas. Small motors that are carbureted don’t like ethanol.
@@KagenFishing for sure man, thanks for getting back to me, Hopefully I'll be gettin my solo in the next few months
Good day of fishing bro
EFRAIM Garcia Jr it was indeed!
What kind DRONE u got
good video - you need to be an expert to ride the skiff among big tankers - FYI never go to gyb area since pilot boats take off from gyb and go to north jetty and back .. every time I see them I am yelling and stopping since my 20 ft boat gets pounded by 4 to 6 ft waves .. I hate them
boashna I work in UTMB and I can see down where the pilot boats blast in and out from where I work. Yah they fly in and out of there with no real regard for any other boat. I get it they have a job to do but it does get sketchy! I have gone over some of those rollers once in the solo skiff.

Where are ya fishing specifically
VERE GOOD jntl man🤗😄👍👍👍👍👌
ua-cam.com/video/9e56vJM8BIg/v-deo.html this is the rexdelray (youtube channel where the paddle holder is mentioned) for anyone who wanted to know.
what action is your waterloo phantom that you used in the video?
ッAgena it’s a 7ft medium.
Kagen Fishing thanks!!
@Kagen Fishing, where did you acquire your solo skiff, is there a dealer in the houston area?
I saw one for sale at Austin kayak
The main solo skiff distributor in Houston is Brice Sanchez he doesn’t have a store but hit him up on Facebook. Just search his name and send him a DM great guy!
Where is this is place?
You ever take it offshore?

Why post the video when people asked you where this place at and you don't answer back???
Water is to clear for trout.''
Love the videos, but way too much talking.
