I haven't done much fishing this year due to some inconvenient weather. However, I was able to catch a nice crappie on a wacky rig, so that's probably my current highlight.
Nice couple of catches. Bet you are glad you restrung that rod. Keep the videos coming. Watching your videos makes me wanna switch to circle hooks and try a popping cork
Great vid FirstState! I can’t wait for fishing season to come to Maryland so I can cast a line out. You have been making me want to fish all winter. Stay strong, man.
I'll go with drift fishing myself let the wind do all😊 work it's a good eating size to what's the sound that you make it's got a lot to do with fish biting use everything to your advantage
I would be terrified that a Gator or something else would take a chomp at me in a kayak!! Thanks for allowing us that have fears get this type of experience with you!!
Love kayak videos. One thing we liked to do while moving along is troll a mirror lure off the back to cover some water. It has been successful from time to time. Looking ward to you running into a 30 inch Snook with that outfit. You will be taken for a reel ride.
Hi everything thing fishing just found your channel in the coments I hope this sub helps your channel out love to you and yours frome a fellow youtuber paul in p.a
my boyfriend said The best time of day to catch redfish in shallow water bays is early morning when the water is cooler and midday is best for redfish in deeper water like bridges, jetties, and wrecks to escape the hotter water inshore. The tide plays a huge factor as high tide will push redfish into the shallows to feed in the rich flooded bays and into channels as tide is receding to feed before the water dries up forcing redfish into deeper water.
Hey man I hope you read this but I live up here in Jacksonville fl and I kayak fish religiously if u need some tips or ever wanna get on some big fish!!
i fish that creek that ur in often and they are very finicky so if you throw artificial shrimp in the middle and work it slow you will get many more bites
Not a criticism, just curious, but why do so many anglers seem to never let a cast finish out with spinning gear? I feel like they always flip the bale at the end and stop short of where they could be casting. Habit from throwing baitcasters, or just a learned action/twitch thing?
I think I usually do that to try to get to the spot I’m trying to cast to and not over-shoot it and get caught up in the reeds/trees/etc idk it might just be habit too
The Florida coasts are always windy. If you’re 5 miles inland your weather will be different than the coast. Always check the wind at the coast, not inland.
Thanks for the response. I enjoy watching your videos. I will be starting my own channel soon. As of now, I only have one video up from New Years. The weather here and current state of the river has been very challenging. Anyway, thanks again for the reply. 🤠👍🇨🇱
What's your favorite fish you've caught so far this year?? 🤔🎣Had so much fun making this video!!
Channel cats 😂
It's been a while since Ive caught one of those! @@Jai.money.
Big snooks so far
I haven't done much fishing this year due to some inconvenient weather. However, I was able to catch a nice crappie on a wacky rig, so that's probably my current highlight.
My line hasn’t touched the water at all since 2024 and I’m very disappointed with myself
Glad to see you back on the kayak.
It feels good
Now you're talking! Love watching you kayak the flats! Please do more of these. Nice catches.
Thanks! Will do!
@@FirstStateFishing And I know your foot was/is messed up. Hopefully you can get out there more when it heals!
It’s a good video when the pup is there
Great day of fishing, you caught some beauties! I really enjoyed it!
Appreciate it! It was fun as heck haha
Love to see you back on the water, I think your kayak vids are the best, glad to see for doing better.
Glad you like them!
Great red, great catch, even better release. Go fisher DA MAN!!
Fish was pulling that drag! Heck yea thats like the best sound ever! Thanks for sharing your adventure out fishing 💯💯💯💯
🤙
Love these type of videos and would love to see more thank you for all the effort you do for us. Keep up the amazing work state
I love these type of vids too! Thanks for watching !!
Totally agree
So glad you’re back on the yak! I can’t wait to do the same thing Lol!
Loving the kayak videos being back and earlyyyy
Nice couple of catches. Bet you are glad you restrung that rod. Keep the videos coming. Watching your videos makes me wanna switch to circle hooks and try a popping cork
Oh yeah it’s so much nicer to fish with now! Yeah give it a shot!
Good for you man, I’m happy for you and how things are going!
I appreciate it! This is gonna be an awesome year
Great vid FirstState! I can’t wait for fishing season to come to Maryland so I can cast a line out. You have been making me want to fish all winter. Stay strong, man.
Spring is coming soon!!
I'll go with drift fishing myself let the wind do all😊 work it's a good eating size to what's the sound that you make it's got a lot to do with fish biting use everything to your advantage
Your videos are getting better & better. Fantastic red fish!!
😎🎣🐟
For sure
Thanks 👍
Nice reds man. Glad to see you back in the honey hole.
Let's Freakin gooooooooooo!!!!!!! You're on a 🔥 red fish bite... Keep the🔥 Content coming my guy!!!
How does he turn with the pedals? Or does he need the paddle for that
I have a dial on the left side of the kayak that controls which way the rudder faces and I can turn it to turn the yak
Dude! I thought I was the only one 🤣 every time I take the kayak out it gets windy or it rains or the tide becomes super strong! 😅
ive been getting into fishing lately and tommorow im getting my permit! :D
Nice!!
As soon as that video started I knew it was redfish heaven..
Try a vudu shrimp jig under the popping cork.
Same price
That’d be interesting to compare to the live shrimp
Great video
I would be terrified that a Gator or something else would take a chomp at me in a kayak!! Thanks for allowing us that have fears get this type of experience with you!!
Haven’t seen one since I’ve been out! I’ve seen em in these creeks when I’ve been on shore though 😂 I always got my paddle ready to bonk something
awesome vid man. Love to see it.
good to see you back in the yak
Awesome video bro you should do more fishing from the kayak
Definitely!!

That's a great idea!
I was blessed to catch some Black Sea bass
Alright, we need a collaboration with someone. I wanna see you get a good decent sized catch and cook again!
Who should I fish w/ ?
Those were some nice reds!
Shrimp dont move much but the fish love the smell
Nice job 👍
Nice catching bro keep up the great vids💯
Appreciate it!!
💪👍, nice job brother that was some beautiful fish.
Thanks!!
Hey man i love your channel and the saltwater vids! maybe using your drone to scout for reds would work? Awesome fish!
I’ve always wanted to try that! Just scared I’m gonna slice myself trying to land it in the yak lol
@@FirstStateFishing fair😂
Very cool
bet you're happy to be back in tha yak!
Oh yes! Haha
GREAT yak video....nice fish!
Ayy thanks!
I like your fishing videos very much.👍
Ay thanks!!
Awesome video bro. Should have kept that first one tho
I’ll be back out to catch and keep some for sure
Keep the good vids comin
Thanks for watching!!!
I love your videos man! Keep it up please😂
Also I’m trying to start up my own channel and would take any advice you have to give.
Thanks! I'd say to make vids that you yourself would wanna watch!
Hi everything thing fishing just found your channel in the coments I hope this sub helps your channel out love to you and yours frome a fellow youtuber paul in p.a
@@FirstStateFishing thanks for the advice! I would also like you to know that I enjoy your creek catch and cook videos!
@@paulbohn1971 Thanks for subscribing Paul, I’ll try to make it worth it!
@@LoneStarFishing83 anytime glad to help
Nice man. You have any lure suggestions for snook and redfish I’ve always used live bait and frozen bait to.
I’d try a soft plastic paddle tail, gulp shrimp or vudu shrimp
@@FirstStateFishing thanks!
Nice upload loke the way those reds fight, love to see u using 6ft rod on like a 2000 real fight should be good
It’s so much fun!
Nice Bull Red
You should have done a catch and cook on one of them maybe next time?
Definitely soon!
Are any of the reds the PB on the kayak?! Good catch man!!
I’ll have to go back and look! They could be ! Thanks!
Are those things good eating or what? Cheers brother and greetings from India 🤙🎣💯
Yeah they’re actually really good

Keep it up brotha
whatever the weather people say the wind speed is going to be, add 5-10 mph when on the water.
Yooo love the vids bro
Appreciate it!
Where was this at? im in central FL
Hey man I hope you read this but I live up here in Jacksonville fl and I kayak fish religiously if u need some tips or ever wanna get on some big fish!!
Send me a message on IG!
i think ur a cool kayak guy
2/0 kahle hooks under the cork. Setting the hook on a cork improves your hook up rate a lot move than a circle hook imo
Red fishing is addicting but honestly nothing is better than a top water bite. Try using a spook
You think they’d eat one? I’ve never tried it for reds
Great vid firststate
Thanks!
check out haulover creek in the kayak, used to do it all the time its sick area
i fish that creek that ur in often and they are very finicky so if you throw artificial shrimp in the middle and work it slow you will get many more bites
i think u need some smartwatch to make sure go pro always recording
My crush texted me… BUT THIS COMES FIRST 😤
😂😂😂😂
@hype4216 Boy why you be having a crush on the tackle shop owner? And ignoring him? That's not how you get free bait😂😂😂😂😂
Can we get some Florida fresh water videos ???
What should I try targeting in fresh water?
@@FirstStateFishingpeacock bass
the only think I enjoy living in Iowa, I dont have to worry about gators or sharks when I go fishing XD.
Not a criticism, just curious, but why do so many anglers seem to never let a cast finish out with spinning gear? I feel like they always flip the bale at the end and stop short of where they could be casting.

What rod and reel is that?
Glad you are catching bigger fish. Does your wife not like fish? I would have kept at least one of those reds. Great to see you in the yak. 🤠👍🇨🇱
Yeah a lot of times she eats some off camera after she gets back from work if I do a catch n cook , wasn’t planning on keeping any this day
Thanks for the response. I enjoy watching your videos. I will be starting my own channel soon. As of now, I only have one video up from New Years. The weather here and current state of the river has been very challenging. Anyway, thanks again for the reply. 🤠👍🇨🇱
80cm flathead I am Darcy and I love your videos and 10
Also what line did you use
I think I have 10lb braid snd 30lb flouro leader
@@FirstStateFishing oh I use 15lb just in case ya know haha
Why do you not give the float more time? It seems like all you give is a few seconds then off - genuinely curious.
I always use live o cut bail..
what creek is that?
Tell me if you find out
I also want to do the same thing as you, but in my country everything is limited. I like America. introduce me to your friends
Hook up with Skinner while you guys both down there.
Skinner will put you on fish.
Mantap jiwa,,,, salam kenal kawan😊
Cutbait works gud for me
I always fish my Florida canals in Coral Springs but I never catch anything I try everything bro please help me
👍🏾
Micro life, build some flies and start using a fly rod
That’d be sick to try to catch some of these dudes on a fly
