Great video man! This is random, but I spent some time during Covid down in St. Pete's and fell in love with kayak fishing in the area. This is back in Jan-July of 2021. One day I was drifting around Shell Key and I saw a guy fishing the flats from his paddle board and I recall thinking how cool that was. Just stumbled upon your channel today, and now I'm 99% sure that person was you haha.
You're one of those people that will kick back and wait for it to come through then ask for a rescue you will be charged for a rescue enjoy that quarter of a million dollar bill
In answer to your comment about hearing there aren’t tides in Mosquito Lagoon but the tide is moving out of that creek in front of you, I can tell by the fact that you’re in mangrove backcountry habitat that you’re in the upper lagoon around Oakhill or Edgewater. Up there it’s close enough to Ponce Inlet that it does experience pretty significant tides. It’s the lower half of the lagoon that doesn’t really have tides. Like if you launch at Beacon 42 or Eddy Creek. Down there, any current or depth change is primarily wind driven. Hopefully that made sense.
Damn dude! Living the dream catching 2 huge Yellows on a SUP then eating them. Hooked on your channel, bro! Keep up the awesome content! BTW I, too paddle on the HD Bugslinger cuz of your review & endorsement. Thanks!
This is why i almost never measure, weigh, or photgraph my fish, unless they are for dinner. Something about the first few times i posed with a fish, actually made it less special. I have nothing of my fishing past but stories and experience. To each their own, but I find the slower, cheaper, more intimate fishing to be the most fun. If I'm after food, its still fun and worthwhile. I enjoyed myself when I fished to provide supllemental food for my young family. But nothing beats a day bank beating for sunfish on a tiny rod. Or sitting on a rock in a river, cigar and fly rod, and a flask of good hooch. Best yet, is the day you spend untangling your daughter's line (and hair), and seeing her squeal with delight at her first fish. Thats the last fish picture i remember taking, and the only one i ever go back and look at.
Thanks for the checking out the video and the insight! 👏🏼 I don’t think my measuring or weighing days are over but it’s nice to have a reset every once and a while, just fish to have fun!
