Excellent video

Awesome as usual. One of these days I'll be there again

Most important part about live bait off the bottom is to crank them quick off the bottom and the keep your COOL the rest of the way up. Relax and enjoy bringing them up without high sticking and pumping your rod. Promise, youll loose less fish. Tight lines/bloody decks

I'm so glad you shared/filmed this. Going out here tomorrow for a week and I planned on paddling out to these man made reefs a few times, and wasn't quite sure how far it was from shore. Hope I get as much action as you got. Cheers mate.

I’m headed out tomorrow from literally the same beach launch, same time of year, same exact kayak in tan, same bow cooler, same pedal drives. Just searched Destin kayak beach fishing and you came right up. Got some artificial reef marks to chase down within a mile. Planning on getting live bait on the way out with the sabiki and picking up some frozen shrimp before. Flatline the live bait while I’m drifting over the reefs and drop the frozen shrimp to the bottom. Gotta say though, I’ve literally never had that hideous sabiki mess happen and I’m an avid sabiki user, even inshore. but I always expect it and bring multiple sabiki and weights as as backups. I think it probably has to to do with getting greedy and letting some slack get in the line and letting them tangle themselves up. Would much rather have 2-3 than a full sabiki worth of bait that ruins your rig. Really hoping to get something crazy on the live bait, still havent caught a kingfish. And I know there is a possibility of gag or black grouper too, that’s the dream. I catch Goliath grouper where I live on the east coast of Florida but we don’t have many other groupers. and hope I don’t get too much red snapper on the bottom as they appear to be closed based on my research via fwc and fish rules app.

Awesome video Sir.

DAMN GOOD VIDEO BROTHER!! YOU GOTTA LOVE DESTIN AND THE FORT WALTON AREA!!! THATS OUR SOON TO BE HOME BROTHER FISHED THERE LAST YEAR AND HAD A BLAST!!! TIGHT LINES BROTHER!!! 🤘🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸🤘

I got that red fever lol

Man that looks like fun! I'm bummed that our trip to Destin was canceled due to the virus, I would have been there this week. Tight lines man!

Great vid!

Nice content, really enjoyed your videos. I am heading down your way this week (delivering a travel trailer to Gulf Breeze). Bringing the Kayak and going to wet some lines.

I have had plenty of twisted up sabikis. In the yak, I cut my sabiki’s in half and add another snap swivel on the cut end. Easier to handle, and I still get my bait. Have you tried using a knocker rig? Helps me with hookups sometimes. Aren’t those red snapper a blast?

Hey Lawless Tide! I’ll be down at Miramar Beach in a couple weeks, we’re looking to go fish the Destin Pass. Gonna be fishing from the Jettys and maybe from the surf. Targeting anything really, but mackerel, bluefish, and snapper would be awesome to cook! Recommendations for artificial lures and rigs? Thanks! Been watching a bunch of your videos because I just can’t wait!

Heavier weight helps keep your bait rigs from getting twisted up .. if you are catching hardtails or small jacks it won’t matter they tear them up regardless

Great day of fishing, fun to watch! I've been thinking about getting off shore in my kayak, haven't built up the nerve just yet. lol. How far do you/would you normally go out? I'd like to find some reefs that are in close in the PCB area.

This may be a dumb question; but do you ever anchor, fishing offshore like that? I could see where it might be dangerous but it seems like it'd be exhausting trying to stay on your spot against the wind and or current.

End of may is there anyway to catch blackfin tuna inshore? Have a little mariner 4 with a trolling motor and oars. Wondering if theres any spots to hook one up maybe paddling off the beach a few hundred yards. My only species I havent caught. Great videos as always you put me on my first bid red and crevalle from watching your videos. Love them and thanks.

Just moved to Santa Rosa Beach from Central Florida. Fished all around Tampa but always caught our white bait with cast nets, even if it was on the beach. Have you had success getting bait on the beach?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

love watching your vids. we are coming to fort Walton june 5 though the 11th for our 20th anniversary and will be bringing our kayaks. plan on fishing the choctawatchee bay and maybe head off shore if the wind is right. is there a website that gives the locations to some reefs? and where is some of the best places to launch in the bay or gulf? thanks for your time and videos...

I plan on taking my kayak out from Henderson state park this weekend. What do I need to look for when it comes to weather and the tide to be safe. This will be my first time

How far away from land were you guys fishing?

I plan on going kayak fishing around the main bridge close to the jetty there next time I visit my sister at her condo down there. Are there specific rules in terms of equipment you have to have for kayak fishing? Flag, whistle...etc?

I think one day june 9th through june 19th is "take a subscriber to work day" 😉😂😂. I live outside Cincinnati Ohio and me and my wife will be in the ft walton/destin area on vacation lol. Any tips for that paticular time?? We come down every year. I managed to catch my very first snook last year. I was pumped! I would appreciate any tips man. Thank you and keep up the cool videos man!!!

That was sick! I didn't see the other guys catch anything. Did they stop and get cigars on the way out? Great video man.

have any recomendations for a 13 year old with a pedal kayack to go to the reefs? And i also am trying to find locations of the reefs so i can mark them on my fish finder

Hey There are you still surf fishing down where in destin?

You’ll save yourself a lot of sabiki tangles by using a heavier sinker on the bottom of the rig. I won’t put a sabiki down with less than a 1 ounce lead...and if I’m getting into threadfins or hardtails, I’ll increase it to 2 ounces.

Bro whats the name of your kayak to buy it ?

Where did you park to launch?

Hey u have any tips... I live in destin and since i moved here 4 years ago I haven’t caught a single redfish and really want to hook up on one, I’m only 12 but me and my dad have been trying to hook up on reds for a longtime, u have any tips u could give me, anyways have a good day. Tight lines!

Do you have any recommendations for a beginner kayak

Is this yesterday?

U live in Destin what reef

Does anybody know what reef he is on

😂😂😂

Does anyone have the coordinates to this reef?

Hey The Lawless Tide - would you be interested in teaching me and my son how to fish for the day? Would love to learn from you and compensate you for your time!
