Harols Devoe.....Thanks Lucky!! The early bite is about all I can stand in the heat ....AC and a Flat screen are more to my liking....Have a great weekend!!
Evi.....Thanks!! There is some great variety up in the Refuge and if I look long enough I can usually get hook'd into the 3 species that give me the Slam.....It's knot everyday that I get this calm weather either at daybreak or sunset.....Enjoy your weekend!!
Hank Pretz Kayak Fishing.....Thanks!! I never get tired of the scenery and the bite requires me to grind it out to find where the fish have dispersed to over a 25 mile swath....Have a great weekend!!
MooMoo Outdoors....Thanks!! The water is starting to cool here after 91 degree water for the last 5 months and with bait everywhere the critters are on the chew!!
Milton Hollerbach.....Thanks!! The Refuge is 25 miles of Gulf Coast remote real estate.....Great fishing in the back country and a lot of unspoiled beauty!!
John O toole dog games.....Thanks!! Don't get the calm very often so a top water is the best way to get the fish cranked with the noise and splashing....Have a great weekend!!
The Fishing Fool.....Thanks!! Any time I can get the skinny boat in the Refuge there's no telling whooze going to be slurpin' the plastic....Have a great weekend in north Florida....Sea Ya!!

BBQ PIT DOG.....Thanks Rob!! Dodging boomers early can be tricky sometimes especially if they drift towards the coast but they do provide a great light show....Sea Ya!!
Jersey Joel Fishing.....Thanks!! Here lately it's on the water before daylight and headed back to the shack by 9AM because the bite just quits and 91 degree Gulf water is a bite killer!!
Wesley Carl.....Thanks!! If you're getting some cool weather the bite should be getting reel good up there....It's just now getting cooler here so I'm expecting some better fishing here soon!!
True North Angler.....Thanks Adrian!! I'm a creature of habit when it comes to top waters but in the summer I have to consider paddle tails and suspending twitch baits cause the fish get reel finicky when the water temp is in the 90's....Have a great weekend!!
Mark'nFish....Thanks!! I've been catchin' a good bite at sunrise here lately....It's just blistering during the day here....The Tannic stain with the help of the sunrise really puts a shine on the Bronzze Boyzz....Have a great week Mark!!

Blaney's Channel.....Thanks!! The Spring and Fall are the best when all three slam species are available.....The winters are the slow time when the Snook stop biting and the Reds are hard to find...but the Trout bite really turns on!!

Scapes Insane....Thanks!! The Refuge is 25 miles of remote Florida Gulf Coast shoreline that is only accessible by boat....Great fishing, scenery and no people!!
@@WesLovelace Would absolutely love to come to the states specially Florida as love the warm weather and oceans. Our family stays in Orlando so it been on the cards for a while.Visiting the states 1st world country is really something looking forward to
Sunset and sunrise are awesome! Thanks for beautiful views! All nice catches, strong fish you have there, I can hear the drag running and love it,You said 91 degrees water? That’s hot Awesome video Brother 👍
F.A Catfishing......Thanks!! Summer time is hot here and the fishing is a reel grind....knot as hot as the central valley though....I lived near Santa Barbara and in Pinehurst when I was working on a fire crew in the Sequoia NF....Did a lot of fishing on the Kings Canyon River in the valley and in the mountains.....Great area to live in!!
Wandering Wiley.....Thanks!! There are knot too many areas with limited access by boat and in this Refuge the lime rock bottom is a lower unit killer and eliminates most of the traffic because of the remoteness of the area!!
An excellent video of your fishing trip to the refuge. Wonderful sunset and sunrise and lots like great fishing. Full view and like. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Dave Stredulinsky.....Thanks!! The bite has been reel great lately most of the time before sunrise and is well worth a sunrise boat ride up to the Refuge!
Great day out there Wes. Those late shift catchings can definitely be some of the best.😉👌👍 that was undoubtedly A awesome day of fishing especially when you throw in the storm scenery. 👍👍👍
Out and About Outdoors With Ron and Friends....Thanks!! Ron the weather is cooling down early this year and for the next one to two months the bite should really pick up in the back country because over the last few weeks the water temp has dropped from 91 to 82 degrees!!
Thee Owl Queen - Owlology.....Thanks Heather!! One of the few places on the coast where time has pasted by and people have knot influenced or destroyed the beauty of the Refuge.....Enjoy your Sunday!!
Bobcrappies....Thanks!! I don't get too many calm days but when I've got the top water splashers rattlin' the surface the slashers aren't too far behind....LOL!!
I see what you mean now early and late... Wes you've got'um figured out over there hot are cold.....91° water temp I would've never thought those fish would be in that skinny water..... Absolutely beautiful sin rises and sets.... Nice catches and as always Stay At'um......
SK's CRAPPIE Catchin Adventures....Thanks!! Here lately I'm just on the water before daylight to 10AM bite because the temps at sunset are almost the same as the middle of the day and when it's that hot I prefer AC and a cold beverage....LOL....Have a great weekend!!
Nice wes!!! summer kept us busy fishing, the 5 year old loves it...good to get caught up. Always love that rip through the refuge. Looked like a beauty day!
Brother Dunne....Thanks!! That's about the time I started and I'll be chasing fish here in Florida until they scatter my remains in the Refuge....I really have enjoyed all my years on the water.....Everyone of my trips is different!!
TWO WHEEL FIX.....Thanks Stevie!! When it's this calm, skinny and clear the splashin' draws a lot of slashin' from the locals and when the bite is slow there's a lot of beauty in the creeks and swamps....Have a great weekend!!
i-fish....Thanks Victor!! Yessir only in Saltwater will you find these critters....Skinny water and top water plastic then add calm and the splashers attract the slashers....Most of the water is less than 2 feet in depth....This is my kind of place....Have a great weekend!!
I always enjoy my boat rides with you Wes. 😄 That snook looked like a fun catch! Beautiful fish! Greyt sunrise and thunderboomer. This looks like a very fishy day for you! 👍
Xanders Adventures.....Thanks Chrisine!! Some days I'm dodging boomers when they drift from the offshore waters early but the bite has been good reel early and the boomers put on a great light show....Have a great weekend!!
Man what a way to start the morning I'm over here Reagan up my crappie gear and getting ready to go to Ray Roberts hopefully for some big crappie and you're over here pulling out beautiful Snook, redfish and Lady Fish😁😁.. just awesome especially when the big fish fight on the top water and splash all over the place LOL😜😜😜 Love the video Buddy and I love that scenery in the back especially the lightning LOL😵😵😵👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🎣
Fishing with Fredo....Thanks!! I got into a pretty good bite after running all over the back country flippin' plastics and I've got lots of real estate to check out in 25 miles!!
Fishing_With_BIG-D.....Thanks!! It's just too hot in the summer to enjoy myself on the water when the temp is 91 degrees and on most days the air temp is north of 95 degrees.....When the cool down gets here the bite will get better....Right now I'm on the water before light and off by 10AM enjoying the AC.....Have a great weekend!!
YouNextCast.....Thanks Titus!! It's kind of like having a shiny new fish and the next time he/she smacks a top water they get to be on UTube....again....LOL!! Since we're both catch and releasers think about this.....A fish is too valuable a resource to catch only once....Sea you on the Sunny side up!!
You had some good action in that warm water Wes. The water in Kerr lake was down to 74.8 when I went Thursday. These cool nights lately are making it drop pretty quick. You had some pretty sunset and sunrise views. I saw some lightning in some of them clouds off in the distance.
Casual Carolina Fishing.....Thanks Bill!! I'm ready for fall weather and the cool down...It's a grind in all this heat and chasing the bite has been reserved for a few hours at daylight when there is a big tide!!
Khmer Dishes....Thanks!! I've been fishing all my life allover the US and the Refuge has been my paradise for many years....Fishing is a great hobby....Have a great week!!
Kill and Grill it.....Thanks!! Popping the top has always excited me and when it gets as calm as this time line all the splashin' gets a lot of slashin'....LOL....Have a great weekend!!
Big John's Life......Thanks!! It has....Daytime temps are in the mid 80's with the water temp now at 82 degrees down from mid 90's . Expecting even cooler weather by the end of next week....The fish should really get cranked!!
Yudi SL.....Thanks!! When the water is this calm it's like riding on glass.and the scenery is completely unspoiled because of the remote area....Have a great week!!
Allen Outdoors.....Thanks Tim!! So far this year Florida has been under a bubble of high pressure that has pretty much steered all storms away from my house on the central Florida coast.....This next storm Delta will make landfall around Louisiana or Texas maybe as a Cat 4....about 500+ miles from here....This has been a busy season!!
👍 Hi Wes, I am surprised at how shallow it is there in the creek! But the fish are there and you have to fish in different places to conquer different challenges, surely. But then it looks like you changed boats perhaps? and got back to your more usual location? That Snook looked a good size Wes, a little bigger than the norm'? I love the sunrise as a setting to show your Red-fish too. You continued to have a good day and I'm sure the average size of your catch this day was better? A good day for you and a good video my friend, well done. 👍◕‿◕
Wildlife & Birds UK....Thanks Jane!! My tunnel boat will run in 5" of water and I'm always pushing the limit!! I've been fishing this 25 miles of coastline for 30 years now and know where the bite might occur so I check out as many spots as I can in 2 to 3 hours especially during the summer with the water temps in the 90's along with an air temp near 100 on some days!! This time of year I'm on the water before light and off by 9-10AM!! I've got 2 boats but this boat is custom designed to navigate the skinny water in the Refuge and the other is strictly for offshore fishing....The tunnel is the only one like this that I know of....Have a great weekend!!
@@WesLovelace Wow, the tunnel boat is fabulous for you and wherever the water is skinny you must be the only boat out there! I imagine that a heatwave could lower the water level a little? Or is it always the same depth? Enjoy your weekend too Wes 👍◕‿◕
fishy dubs fishing....Thanks!! Just waiting for that first cool down to start back on the Grouper offshore and a more consistent bite in the skinny water!!
Some great catches, seems like such a variety in Florida. The area looks amazing and the reflections on the water are incredible. I don’t think I could navigate inland waters like this, I’d get lost.
Jeremy of New Scotland.....Thanks!! The Refuge is quite large and I've been running this back country for 30 years so I have quite a few places to check out every time I'm up there.....They call Florida the fishing capital of the world....I know I've got a reel paradise where I live here in Bayport....Have a great weekend!!
Diamond H Farmhouse....Thanks!! The Inshore bite has started to get hot before dawn in the Refuge with multiple species available on top waters and soft plastics....Have a great week!!
Excited to be moving to Homosassa. Grew up in the area. Can’t wait to get back. I have a kayak with trolling motor. Is it to far for a kayak to the gulf.
Nick Hatziatefanou.....Thanks!! From Mc Raes it's about 5 miles to the Gulf but there are other options since I fish the area. First you could try the Mason Creek Ramp....It's about 3 miles to the Gulf plus there are plenty of canals to be explored during the winter and when you start toward the Gulf you are on the northern boundary of The Chassahowitzka NWR where I fish to the south. There are a lot of islands to the Gulf and a cut called 7 Cabbage that will take you to the Chassahowitza River. North towards Crystal River is Ozello.....You take a left on the road and after you go over the first bridge there is a road to the left called John Brown and there is a ramp there....It's about 3 miles to the gulf but there dozens of islands to explore and you can do your fishing at low water.....That means nobody to bug you!! North to Crystal River there is Ft. Island Beach Park on the Gulf and a launching ramp right on the Gulf.....Lots of water to explore!! Head another 7 miles north up US 19 you go across the Withlacoochee River to Yankeetown. Hang a left at the light and there are great launching facilities where the River meets the Gulf!! I'd suggest you go north toward the Waccasassa River and try every creek you can!! Those are your options and I've been fishing around this area a long time.....This is still a great place to live and fish.....Just way more crowded.....Feel free to drop more questions anytime.....Sea Ya and Good Luck!!
Randolph Relic Recovery.....Thanks Martin!! In the summer it's a top water when in the skinny water!! I've got 3 exact rods/reels.....One with a top water....One with a Mirrodine suspending twitch bait and a weed less paddle tail....If one doesn't work one of the other two usually will!!
Jim A.....Thanks!! Jenkins isn't in the Refuge....That's the Weeki Wachee Preserve....I live here in Bayport!! I travel up the coast in the area north of Pine Island Bay, Mud Bay, Wall Bay, and Haul Over Bay just south of the River!!
@@WesLovelace Thanks for sharing Wes! Have you ever tried or had any luck in the Centipede Bay Area? That ramp at Jenkins is perfect for my little jon boat, that Bayport ramp gets scary on the weekends with people that lack ramp etiquette lol. I’ll have to try the Chass areas sometime. My best scallop spot is right off the Chass.
Another great day in the refuge. And good weather too.
Harols Devoe.....Thanks Lucky!! The early bite is about all I can stand in the heat ....AC and a Flat screen are more to my liking....Have a great weekend!!
Every time more bigger and more beautiful fish ..

It's just too hot in the summer to enjoy myself on the water when the temp is 91 degrees and on most days the air temp is north of 95 degrees.....When the cool down gets here the bite will get better....Right now I'm on the water before light and off by 10AM enjoying the AC.....Have a great weekend!!
Had a dynamite thumbnail my friend. You know how to find em in that skinny water. Beautiful view as well brother. Catch you on the flip. 😉👍
YouNextCast.....Thanks Titus!! It's kind of like having a shiny new fish and the next time he/she smacks a top water they get to be on UTube....again....LOL!! Since we're both catch and releasers think about this.....A fish is too valuable a resource to catch only once....Sea you on the Sunny side up!!

You had some good action in that warm water Wes. The water in Kerr lake was down to 74.8 when I went Thursday. These cool nights lately are making it drop pretty quick. You had some pretty sunset and sunrise views. I saw some lightning in some of them clouds off in the distance.
Casual Carolina Fishing.....Thanks Bill!! I'm ready for fall weather and the cool down...It's a grind in all this heat and chasing the bite has been reserved for a few hours at daylight when there is a big tide!!
Fishing skill i like fishing too
Khmer Dishes....Thanks!! I've been fishing all my life allover the US and the Refuge has been my paradise for many years....Fishing is a great hobby....Have a great week!!

Nehemiah Pasaribu.....Thanks!! The remoteness and scenery make for a wonderful area to enjoy nature!!
Looks like you really have them dialed in!
The Shore Fisherman.....Thanks!! Anytime I can manage a 3 species slam in the back country I've had a very good day!!
Nice Wes. That first Snook was hungry he blew up on the lure 2 or 3 times before he finally grabbed it.
Kill and Grill it.....Thanks!! Popping the top has always excited me and when it gets as calm as this time line all the splashin' gets a lot of slashin'....LOL....Have a great weekend!!
Great video has it cold off any down there
Big John's Life......Thanks!! It has....Daytime temps are in the mid 80's with the water temp now at 82 degrees down from mid 90's . Expecting even cooler weather by the end of next week....The fish should really get cranked!!
Strike ikan predator yang bagus 👍
Plat E ryL....Thanks!! Snook are real aggressive and love to leap making filming an exciting adventure....Have a great week!!
airnya sangat tenang cocok untuk memancing di tambah pemandangan yang indah sekali teman .;.;.;
Yudi SL.....Thanks!! When the water is this calm it's like riding on glass.and the scenery is completely unspoiled because of the remote area....Have a great week!!
You survive all those hurricanes down there buddy
Allen Outdoors.....Thanks Tim!! So far this year Florida has been under a bubble of high pressure that has pretty much steered all storms away from my house on the central Florida coast.....This next storm Delta will make landfall around Louisiana or Texas maybe as a Cat 4....about 500+ miles from here....This has been a busy season!!
I suport you.... Iam from indonesia
ryan brebes rod.....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking the Fishing out here on the Florida Coast!!
@@WesLovelace oke greeting for me thank you
!!!!Like 👍👍
Petros Kalaitzis.....Thanks!! Great scenery and excellent fishing are available to those who know the area!!
👍 Hi Wes, I am surprised at how shallow it is there in the creek! But the fish are there and you have to fish in different places to conquer different challenges, surely. But then it looks like you changed boats perhaps? and got back to your more usual location? That Snook looked a good size Wes, a little bigger than the norm'? I love the sunrise as a setting to show your Red-fish too. You continued to have a good day and I'm sure the average size of your catch this day was better? A good day for you and a good video my friend, well done. 👍◕‿◕
Wildlife & Birds UK....Thanks Jane!! My tunnel boat will run in 5" of water and I'm always pushing the limit!! I've been fishing this 25 miles of coastline for 30 years now and know where the bite might occur so I check out as many spots as I can in 2 to 3 hours especially during the summer with the water temps in the 90's along with an air temp near 100 on some days!! This time of year I'm on the water before light and off by 9-10AM!! I've got 2 boats but this boat is custom designed to navigate the skinny water in the Refuge and the other is strictly for offshore fishing....The tunnel is the only one like this that I know of....Have a great weekend!!
@@WesLovelace Wow, the tunnel boat is fabulous for you and wherever the water is skinny you must be the only boat out there! I imagine that a heatwave could lower the water level a little? Or is it always the same depth? Enjoy your weekend too Wes 👍◕‿◕

Natural Technologist.....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by the channel.....Have a great week!!
Yes this is the time of the year
fishy dubs fishing....Thanks!! Just waiting for that first cool down to start back on the Grouper offshore and a more consistent bite in the skinny water!!
Some great catches, seems like such a variety in Florida. The area looks amazing and the reflections on the water are incredible. I don’t think I could navigate inland waters like this, I’d get lost.
Jeremy of New Scotland.....Thanks!! The Refuge is quite large and I've been running this back country for 30 years so I have quite a few places to check out every time I'm up there.....They call Florida the fishing capital of the world....I know I've got a reel paradise where I live here in Bayport....Have a great weekend!!
👍👍
Diamond H Farmhouse....Thanks!! The Inshore bite has started to get hot before dawn in the Refuge with multiple species available on top waters and soft plastics....Have a great week!!
Excited to be moving to Homosassa. Grew up in the area. Can’t wait to get back. I have a kayak with trolling motor. Is it to far for a kayak to the gulf.
Nick Hatziatefanou.....Thanks!! From Mc Raes it's about 5 miles to the Gulf but there are other options since I fish the area. First you could try the Mason Creek Ramp....It's about 3 miles to the Gulf plus there are plenty of canals to be explored during the winter and when you start toward the Gulf you are on the northern boundary of The Chassahowitzka NWR where I fish to the south. There are a lot of islands to the Gulf and a cut called 7 Cabbage that will take you to the Chassahowitza River. North towards Crystal River is Ozello.....You take a left on the road and after you go over the first bridge there is a road to the left called John Brown and there is a ramp there....It's about 3 miles to the gulf but there dozens of islands to explore and you can do your fishing at low water.....That means nobody to bug you!! North to Crystal River there is Ft. Island Beach Park on the Gulf and a launching ramp right on the Gulf.....Lots of water to explore!! Head another 7 miles north up US 19 you go across the Withlacoochee River to Yankeetown. Hang a left at the light and there are great launching facilities where the River meets the Gulf!! I'd suggest you go north toward the Waccasassa River and try every creek you can!! Those are your options and I've been fishing around this area a long time.....This is still a great place to live and fish.....Just way more crowded.....Feel free to drop more questions anytime.....Sea Ya and Good Luck!!
SLAM😎👍. Nice going Wes! If you could pick only one lure, would it be a mirrodean?
Randolph Relic Recovery.....Thanks Martin!! In the summer it's a top water when in the skinny water!! I've got 3 exact rods/reels.....One with a top water....One with a Mirrodine suspending twitch bait and a weed less paddle tail....If one doesn't work one of the other two usually will!!
@@WesLovelace I'm just guessing. But, I'm thinking it's working pretty dang good👍. You're consistently slamming the fish!
Nw friend here showing full support hope to see you around
Joy Great....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking out my latest trip to the Refuge!!
Hi Wes! Nice fishing! Is this in the Jenkins Creek area?
Jim A.....Thanks!! Jenkins isn't in the Refuge....That's the Weeki Wachee Preserve....I live here in Bayport!! I travel up the coast in the area north of Pine Island Bay, Mud Bay, Wall Bay, and Haul Over Bay just south of the River!!
@@WesLovelace Thanks for sharing Wes! Have you ever tried or had any luck in the Centipede Bay Area? That ramp at Jenkins is perfect for my little jon boat, that Bayport ramp gets scary on the weekends with people that lack ramp etiquette lol. I’ll have to try the Chass areas sometime. My best scallop spot is right off the Chass.
