- Still breaking in the new 25 HP Yamaha 4 stroke so I decided to run the back country in search of Redfish and Snook.....The Redfish have been easy but the Snook have eluded me!! The more I run the motor the better I like it here on the Florida Nature Coast.
We are very lucky to have this area in our backyards. Enjoy the new motor. Great videos as always.
Thanks Nick!! Up there late yesterday and finally found the Snookers....Seems the Reds had the upper hand in managing to unhook themselves.....Must be Genetics or something wacky like that.....LOL....How do you avoid 6 4Xhooks in your face.....Fishing is always a great time where ever you manage to wet a line!! With the extended range this motor is producing I'm going to start eyeballin' the River to Mason Creek from down here in Bayport on occasions!!
Sweet! Nice to see the Reds popping in your boat to check out the new outboard! HA! Nice to have a day with little wind too!
Thanks!! Nice to know some of my repeat friends decided to show up to get hook'd up....LOL....I'm really likin' this new motor.....Might even be the last motor I'll ever neew to buy!!
Hey Wes that 24’ Lady redfish was a real beauty! And even a couple small croakers came to say hello and some trout . That Yamaha has some good juice. You were cruising! Nice sunset at the end! Have fun out there and be safe . Have a great weekend . Like 11 😎
Thanks Ryan!! With the summer almost here it's either on the Salt before Sunrise or fishing into nightfall.....This middle of the day stuff is a waste and miserable to say the least!! I never matters how or what I catch it's all about enjoying the lifestyle that I've managed to create for myself.....Have a great weekend!!
Wes, I love a Yamaha outboard motors. I didn't know they had an electric-start small engine for smaller boats. Nice. Man, those redfish loved smacking that top water lure. Smooth waters to run the Yamaha and skinny boat. Enjoyed a full-watch, Wes. See ya on your next run. Don 👍🏽🤠 04/26/24
Thanks Don!! This is my second and probably my last.....I dropped one on my center console 4 years ago and I have really enjoyed it!! I can't use Tilt and Trim because of the tunnel so I didn't get that.... but that electric start....I had to have that.....LOL!! Have a great weekend!!
Some nice Reds on topwater! They fight hard Wes! They definitely wanted to come out and play! The Yamaha was good luck! 👍 🚣♀️ 🐟 🎣
Thanks JJ!! The topwater bite is only made possible in the skinny water and water clarity of which there is abundance of both and if you have access to the Chazz during the week you eliminate prying eyes.....My mindset is if I can see you you won't see me the next time you look....I enjoy being a Ghost and the Master of Miss Direction.....LOL.....Have a great weekend!!
That new Yamaha has you really cruising Wes! Nice day out there and the sunsets never get old👍
Thanks Rob!! This new engine is giving me more the abiity to go from navigating about 20 sq. miles to 30 sq.miles....I'm now fixin' to invade more territory....LOL.....Have a great weekend!!
Have a look at Wes out there in his natural habitat doin his thing! Glad to hear the new 4stroker back-saver edition is hummin like a song & treating you well.
A trail cam out there would be 2cool!
Thanks Marc!! Gotta have a new play toy every once in a while and I'm getting use to this electric start.....It will probably save my right shoulder in the long run!! Was up north yesterday and I'm back up there later on this PM.....Hey someone's gotta do it.....Might as well be me.....You and the family enjoy the weekend!!
That was a good trip no doubt. Yeah I still have a yank the cord start on my outboard ! May have to rectify that 😂 thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ron!! I've got so much territory to cover....Upwards of 20 sq. miles and that's going to increase to about 30 sq. miles with the efficiency I'm seeing!! I've been cranking 25 hp or less my whole life....It was time to upgrade just because of that fact....No regrets at all on this new engine.....Catch you on the flip!!
More reds. Nice outing, Wes. It’s a pleasure running brand new motor.
Thanks Yuri!! Just got out of the swamp with the trail cams!! Nice to know I still have a few friends without sore mouths.....LOL!! The more I get used to this new motor the better I like it!!
Looks like a good excursion running the back country with successful fishing and a chance to use your new Yamaha motor. I enjoyed in full to the end. Thank you, my friend. 9:30
Thanks Dave!! No place I'd rather be than somewhere in a 30 sq. mile area in the Refuge having the experiences that will last a lifetime.....If I can remember them.....LOL!!....Have a great weekend!!
The Redfish have good tastes in outboard motors! I'm glad you're enjoying the new motor.
Thanks Rande!! This was my second 4 stroke and more than likely my last....The motor I bought 4 years ago only has 200 hours because the offshore seasons are so short and I have the range of about 120 miles and that's not enough distance anymore with the exception of the Keys.....The offshore waters have really changed since I moved here!!
So fun video 🎉🎉 I'm very enjoyable for watching your video 🎉🎉 thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!! I really enjoy my back water trips in the Refuge.....The fishing is a lot of fun and the scenery is outstanding.....Enjoy your weekend!!
Sure is a quiet engine. I miss catching the big redfish like that. I need to get back out on the water. I hate those misses like that. Beautiful sunset
Thanks Dave!! I've enjoyed having this place here on the Gulf.....It was always a dream to live on the water and I've reaped the rewards from having the opportunity to enjoy that passion for fishing and the outdoors not only here in Bayport but all over the State of Florida.....Enjoy your week!!
Wes, looked like a nice day to be out on the water. An electric start motor is a big plus. Have a great day!
Thanks Phillip!! It was even better yesterday....I managed some nice Reds , Snook and Trout in the bushes.....I really like my push button....LOL....Enjoy your Sunday!!
New motor sounds smooth ! Nice day in the refuge!
Thanks Lee!! This was a great purchase and my last 4 stroke. Yamaha makes a simple Hour/Tach under cowling add on that tells me the total hours which is showing 10.6. This fuel injection is a bit sensitive but I'm working through that. Fuel consumption is about 10 miles per gallon and I can now get 4 trips on 6 gallons versus 3 from the 2 stroke....And it's reel quiet!!
I bet your new Yamaha is a lot quieter too, I can hardly hear it on the video. Some nice fish and a beautiful sunset too boot.
Thanks J!! I've been hand cranking small outboards my whole life.....It was time to get out of the Dark Ages and to embrace a new direction and pushing a button seems like a big difference....LOL!! The critter is quiet and fuel efficient and will allow me to cover more water in future trips at Sunrise and Sunset!!😎👀
Congrats on the new motor, Wes.
Thanks Mark!! First time with a small motor starter......That's now become my favorite feature......Ahhhh the simple things in life.....LOL.....Have a great Sunday!!
Some nice redfish.
Wayn.....Thanks!! And the hits just keep on coming.....Never figured that life could be this much fun.....And I'm having a Blast.....Have a great weekend!!
Nice fishing!!
A-laise......Thanks!! The fishing has been great down here in the Refuge on the Florida Nature Coast.....Have a great week!!
Love how they start so easy!
Thanks!! That small battery does the trick.....I'm really enjoying the new tech after 8 hours on the meter!!
The battery I got was even a little small for the U1 battery box. So far no problems. I may even try and run my depth finder off it.
@@TimeOnTheWaterFishing My battery fits fine without any internal blocking....I have a second box under the bow with a smaller battery that runs nav lights and compartment and floor lights....I had to block that battery with cutting board stock....The forward box takes a beating and I haven't had any problems!!
@@WesLovelace yea I have a battery up front that runs the trolling motor, lights and depth finder. I made a little snug spot for it to sit with that spray foam.
@@TimeOnTheWaterFishing To save weight I decided to use my 12 ft. Stiffy push pole....I gave my trolling motor and battery away.....I was actually using a small deep cycle that fit in the U1 to run the troller.... a 30 lb. thrust Minn Kota....
if I ever need a new motor I'm going to try Yamaha
Thanks John!! This is my 2nd Yamaha 4 stroke after having Johnson/Evinrude for 25 years.....You just couldn't do any better from my point of view.....Enjoy your weekend!!
You won't find less pressure as you go southern or in the crystal river areas.
Thanks Martin!! The southern part of the Chazz from the River south is not an easy place to navigate.....You know the old saying ....If it was easy then everyone would be doing it....I've put in the time and effort to allow myself safe passage and the ability of having found places that produce the bite.....Have a great weekend
@@WesLovelace you got that right. I used to run the Chaz in an 18 ft flats boat. There was little more than a prop ditch at low tide.
Nice out Wes get that sunblock on would be interesting to see what you get on the island maybe a monkey 😂
DMP.....Thanks!! Yes sir.....If I want to avoid the skin doctor I take a bath in sunscreen....I really hate being carved on....LOL!! I've actually got an Island in mind because of the Gator population I've managed to film.....It actually has a small lake in the middle and I've come across 4 Gators in the last 3 years that seem to call this paradise plus there are signs that there was a cabin there, cistern and that it was connected to the mainland years ago....This Refuge is an interesting place to run around in.....Sea Ya!!
@@WesLovelace can’t wait to see the footage
@@dronemafiaproduction. The 5 Cats are 100 yds. from the house and I'm getting them Day and Night....Just can't beat the wildlife variation here on the coast!!😎
Do you ever have a blank day out on the water.
Thanks Vincent!! Yesterday I caught one Snook and lost 3 Redfish.....Just don't remember a Skunk.....LOL!! The area I'm covering is approximately 20 sq. miles and that's about to change with this new engine to about 30 sq. miles......This Federal Refuge is about 160 sq. miles....You really don't get to see the full magnitude in these videos......This is one huge area to navigate.....Seems most of the time I'm all alone in my own personal playground.....LOL.....Have a great weekend!!
They can't outrun you, now and the only yanking and cranking is on the bronze torpedoes.
Thanks Dug!! I never figured I could record all my fishing trips to fall back but the modern tech has allowed me to look back in the past with pinpoint accuracy....I'm knot sure it gets any better.....Unless I snag more fish than the last trip to the Refuge.....LOL!!
