    You know probably the mangrove crabs fall from the trees sometimes and the fish are just waiting for that opportune moment.
    I watch Richard Gene the fishing machine and he has a tip to keep your soft baits up on your hook. He wraps some tooth floss around the hook then a drop of superglue then slide on the soft bait and let it dry.
    Works like a charm! Thanks for the great reviews.

  • @2587scott
    @2587scott Рік тому +1

    The hook saver could be used like the rubber pieces on the hook of the NLBN mullet lures to achieve saving the crab from falling off the hook. Use a lighter to heat shrink it once you have it in place. If you think the hook saver piece is too big you could use scissors to cut it to an appropriate length. Also, you have a great channel here on UA-cam! There are many of us that believe you should be getting more attention, views, likes, and subscribers. UA-cam, it is time to bump him up!!!

    I’ve been wanting a gheenoe for 2 years now. I’m buying a truck first, but I’ve officially built a “gheenoe” out of a fiberglass canoe. I cut the back off at a bulkhead and built a transom out of plywood and fiberglass. 15’ 5” long and it holds a trolling motor well. 45 pound thrust should push me along just fine in the backwater!

      My guess is in the Cocoa Beach area (1,000 islands). Not a lot of places have that many tiny islands, plus the water looks mediocre in terms of visibility. Been fishing the Indian River (north of the Beachline) and it's pretty clear. The farther you go south, the water clarity has been declining...just my 2cents.

    Interesting to hear you’ve never seen the reds school up. Where are you fishing out of, kinda looks like Sebastian area? I grew up near Orlando and used to grind the flats in mosquito lagoon, the fish definitely like to school up more it seems like when working the flats, it’s a strength in numbers move is my guess, also the fish don’t gotta worry about having a big presence as they’re normally feeding on shrimp/crabs on the bottom. If your used to fishing mangrove bank lines I can see why you’re used to only seeing small groups of fish. You should def give the lagoon a shot sometime, it isn’t abnormal to come across schools of well over 100 fish, especially this time of year.

I’ve fished the lagoon for the last 15 years and haven’t seen a snook/tarpon bite as good as this year on the positive side. The reds are definitely still there, but you gotta know which flats still have grass(not many) But youre totally right, many grass flats have died off, mainly 2.5 years ago, which sucks because the flats are my favorite forsure. I’ve seen flats die off and come back a few years later though so I am optimistic at the least. Tight lines
