Catching Speckled Trout in the Santa Rosa Sound | Kayak Fishing Fort Walton Beach 

They are such a nuisance and time killer. Thanks Joe!

You know it bro!

I usually tighten up the line after about 10 casts but sometimes forget and end up paying for it. I’m glad they were chewing that day.

Thanks bro! Sometimes I get lucky and do find them.

Mine too!

Hopefully you have some luck on your next trip! Thank you!

Thanks man! You definitely gotta get on some saltwater fish! For sure man, thank you.

That is the NRS Chinook OS. I purchased it in early 2020 through Amazon and it’s been a great.

@@oafishing Thank you! I was looking at that same one for offshore kayak fishing here in Navarre!

@@oafishing I couldn't really decide between the NRD models. From what I was reading online, for a Hobie or Old Town seat, the Chinook high back worked fine and wasn't too low. From there, I couldn't quite decide about the pocket layout differences between the Chinook vs the Chinook OS. But ultimately I think the OS is where I landed for the orange color and VHF pocket.

@@JustTheLip I think the pocket layout was the main reason I went with the OS. so far I have zero complaints about it.

Yes I have fished over there a few times and have had some luck with redfish. 3” paddle tails have worked for me in that area and a friend of mine has luck with live shrimp. I normally fish along the shallow flat areas there. I haven’t had much luck at the mouth of those rivers.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching the videos. Download the go paddling app to help you find launch spots. Using google you can determine if some areas are shallow or deeper. Grass flats and docks are always a good place to start to find trout and redfish. Bridges hold fish most of the time, just gotta figure out what’s there and target it. My go-to lures are a 3” paddletail on 1/8 or 1/4 oz jighead for the flats and a 4” paddletail with a 3/8 or 1/2 oz jighead for deeper water. I usually have decent luck throwing a Mirrolure 17MR twitchbait over shallow water that has grass and if trout are there they will eat it.
