    Amazing video with the sharks. I’d enjoy that adventure for sure. What separates you from all the other UA-camr wannabes is your dedication to doing your own thing. You don’t wait till someone finds fish or posts they’re here. Then have to watch the same UA-camrs post the same thing over and over.

    We are going to reach a point in a lot of inshore fisheries that regulations on sharks will need adjustments. We have a place in Jupiter just up the river from the inlet and the bullshark population is bananas.

    shark feeding frenzy on this one - they are always around but this was pretty unusual day - one after another! the only advice i may be able to give is to get out deeper? maybe try to target more pelagics - tuna, kings, small mako? you need the good days but you have the motor and experience - still be safe, it is a long summer. happy memorial day #remember

      In my opinion…Everybody is fighting the wrong fight for flounder. Go after the summer flounder (fluke)reg in NC. Limit 4 at all states north. 100% in NC is commercial trawling only. Why? DMF says rec cant tell the difference between summer and southern flounder. I can. Anybody that can see spots on the flounder can tell the difference. I think it is about money.

    I think for sharks its fun to get those big runs and feel how powerful they are but then it gets kinda old because youre likely gonna lose whatever tackle you're using. Unless you're using shark specific tackle. Then the issue becomes bringing a large, angry fish that is sharp everywhere alongside your kayak and trying to unhook it.

    Sharks are great on Nat Geo or Discovery Channel, but they suck when you're fishing. It'd be nice to see you hit on a big cobia one of these trips. Spotted a small cobia on the jetty just a couple weeks ago. What's the overall verdict on the ePDL in the ocean now that you've gotten a good number of trips in?

Water was murky those skrs were crusing right on the beach . Three ft of waters. It was nothing more than a shark fest week . FFW needs to address the fish caught an sharked !!! All y'all are doing is feeding an attracting more. When they gonna realize that. Don't feed birds , alligator an now pleading for them to let y'all keep what's left. Crap trap baits??? Or maybe a piece of dinner. Be safe man love the content. It's not just y'all it's Florida wide problematic.
