Your right fishing that area is a grind when you got wind and ripping tides to deal with. Right now you throw in the mosquitos around those mangroves. But I love it very challenging. Very day is different.
Justin, research phosphate docks Boca Grande pass. A boat ramp not too far, old docks are literally 100 yards from shore and 50 ft deep. Incredible Goliath grouper action! 50 to 300 lbs are plentiful, they will wreck everything you bring. It is a blast.
Nice vid. I've always wondered how good a spinnerbait for bass would work on Snook. Retrieving it right under the surface to make a boil and those silver blades spinning. Might work great. Maybe even a bass buzzbait. Worth a try. Subscribed also.
Seatrout eat with ferocity. I used to fish with a guy who always said that if trout grew to be the size of tarpon, people would never be able to go into the sea again. They will try to eat things large enough to choke themselves on.
Where are you guys staying ? What boat ramp? Hard to plan a trip down there blind any suggested lodging or towns to stay in? Information would be great.. ?????????
Hey Man!!! Great video! Your fishing in my backyard lol love that area. If your interested me and my buddy huge fans of yours work at Gumbo Limbo in Naples on the Gulf. You should come and check it out, we’ll buy you lunch/dinner.
What’s your fishing setup? Boat, gear, safety equipment please and thanks. Want to do same setup. I would like to see u fish the Caloosahatchee river in fort Myers
Depends on what size they are and what you're fishing for them with but typically drag set on the looser side to begin, tighten up through the fight, then loosen back up when it gets time to land the fish.
I know with some of the other penn reels the DX (dealer exclusive) have power handles on all sizes and brass main and pinion gear in all the sizes as well.
I have a question. I am fishing with a spoon on the Indian river right? I’m about to cast my spoon and when I look up to cast, I see a giant wake. There is no fin, just a grey back, and the thing is moving side to side. Does anyone know what it could’ve been?
Just curious, did you have any problems with the mosquitoes? I fished there one day in April and I thought I was going to lifted out of my boat by them!
@@justin_menendez I attract so many mosquitoes I’m pretty much a necessity for my friend and family to bring along, they will bite me and not them, but I don’t care, because I’m fishing. I do care about them after fishing though….
Maggie is adorable, great that she enjoys this with you
Imagine the everglades trip on fly. You would absolutely slay down there. Plus, the possibility of a baby goliath on fly is so dope
yeah that would be interesting!
I will gladly send you some everglades flies! I appreciate you letting me send you some before! Black sail flies!
Pinfish, or cut bait. Take some frozen lady fish with you and chunk bait. Let's get Maggie bit!

Is the dock called phosphate dock or something else and what do you usually catch the groupers on
@@backwater.fishin it's called the old phosphate docks they 90% on the bottom. Huge Goliath grouper hangout there.
Lol yes but don’t recommend that on the gheenue lol bring your flats boat @justin
Another super cool video!!! Thanks Justin...You should have 100k subs soon!!

Dude! Come down to Ecuador for some snook fishing..Mangroves for miles and miles. The biggest mangrove snappers I've ever seen inshore.
Great videos really enjoy them. Keep them coming..👍👍👍from NYC..

Justin, would you mind sharing the VRBO that y'all stayed in on this trip?

I catch goliaths like that under the mangroves at little mud creek all the time .
I hope you let her catch some fish
What tackle bag do you use on the gheenoe ? Without it getting ruined from the water ! Another great video
right now I am using a bag made by Bote.
Don't let Maggie get burned up !!

I’m in Naples too, is this out by Port or the Isles ?
@@Rykso we are located up at the Ritz Carlton in North Naples on Vanderbilt Beach Rd.

I would like to see u fish the Caloosahatchee river in fort Myers
Having withdrawals, need a new video to drop!
Yo justin me and my dad are going down to the Everglades do you know any publics boat ramps that lead to the mangroves ?
Gotta get them fries
Do you still have your other bigger boat?
No, Tarpon Boatworks is building me a new one this summer.
What GoPro cameras do you use on the gheenoe for your videos
nice fishing buddy 👍👍👍...what's the weight limit in your gheenoe?
I'm not sure maybe around 500 lbs.
Wait I’m going to the Everglades on Friday, nooo. Are you gonna be there, if so we can maybe fish together.
Justin, what’s your advice on hook setting tarpon? And how tight should drag be?
Depends on what size they are and what you're fishing for them with but typically drag set on the looser side to begin, tighten up through the fight, then loosen back up when it gets time to land the fish.
Fastest I’ve ever watched a video 😂
Are you on the west coast?
The reel. Could you tell a difference between the DX and standard Slammer IV.
The DX looks like the one he is fishing. It is black and silver, the slammer IV is black and gold.
I know with some of the other penn reels the DX (dealer exclusive) have power handles on all sizes and brass main and pinion gear in all the sizes as well.
I have a question. I am fishing with a spoon on the Indian river right? I’m about to cast my spoon and when I look up to cast, I see a giant wake. There is no fin, just a grey back, and the thing is moving side to side. Does anyone know what it could’ve been?
Maybe a big redfish
black drum maybe
Dolphin on its side. They do stuff like that when hunting in shallow.
@@satellitefishing thank you
@@mahogsed7539 haven’t seen a black drum in two years, doubt it, but thanks
what happen to the tarpon boat works boat
I am getting a new one built and it should be ready in August.
Just curious, did you have any problems with the mosquitoes?
I fished there one day in April and I thought I was going to lifted out of my boat by them!
No not really, I had an issue with my prop though and we had to change it out on an island. The sandflies about killed me.
