Nice video Captain!!! I have not fish for snook before mostly fish offshore or shipping channel. Looking to get into inshore fishing this spring. Not going to lie when the dolphins show up I am leaving the spot.
I own a lot of sniper bull bay poles and I love them. Butts not to long for kayak fishing and I've caught 15-20 pound Jack's on them. I have one bigger one one but I the rest are the 12 to 17 so your in that sweet spot. I have been adding more of the assaults cause the only one I have is the 20-40lb cause I also use that for the surf and lighter grouper fishing. Also own a brute for grouper and run straight 50lb on that for grouper. Customer service ain't no joke when it comes to them. For me those poles are great and they hold up great in the salt water. But been eyeing the small assaults hard
ive been using a 8ft 15-30 and ive been turning big snook and reds heads the heavy backbone makes it so much easier to pull them out of the mangroves and the 8ft be helping me stay farther away from the mangroves and getting it way back there best of luck to u man
At 21:17 "There's dolphin around", ... When into the trout in Englewood the dolphin down there are too impatient to wait for you to release a tired fish. They'll radar/sense the struggle of a fish from 300 yards out and beat the fish to the boat and take it off your hook before you can reel it back. And if you move, they'll follow you.
Never thought about the fish being hooked too many times. I don’t catch much but when I get good I’ll keep that in mind. Awesome video, fun while bringing awareness 💪🏼
Or we could treat fishing like hunting. You don't see hunters out there shooting animals then throwing them back. . I'm not anti-fishing -- I go every week. Go fishing, catch your limit, be done. Fishing injures fish, even with catch & release -- charter boats are paid to catch as many fish as possible, whether they keep them or not. It's a business model that harms the local fish population and is poor stewardship of natural resources.
Woww man, I got so much respect for you. Just to watch the way you put the fish back in the water, shows how respectful you are to nature and fishing. Keep up the good work and great fishing!👊
I think they need to shut down guide service for a whole year in Tampa Bay and let the fish come back it is way over fish I know that's these guys livelihoods but in three more years you're going to be out of business because the fish are going to be gone I seen this happen around Sanibel Island and Pine Island in the 80s these places were on fire now you can't even hardly catch a fish
Your absolutely right it’s gotta be the charter fishing it can’t possibly be the 1.5 million recreational saltwater fisherman that bought licenses in the last year. Everybody is so quick to point fingers and put blame on someone else that they don’t see that the problem is a combination of pollution, population, overfishing, wether commercial or recreational that is leading to the overall decline in the states fishery’s. Most of the charter captains that I associate with and know of are the biggest spokes people for conservation, protection and rehabilitation of the resources that we make our living off of. Until everyone starts taking responsibility for their own actions our waters cannot possibly improve. #letemgoletemgrow #limityourcatchdontcatchyourlimit
@@badfishtv3813 I'd have to agree with you, the number of charter captain's isn't increasing anywhere near the level pollution is increasing and recreational pressure. there's a lot of issues but improving habitat and water quality is #1. I did fish with a guide in the everglades and told him at the beginning of the trip I didn't want kill more than a meal and he wouldn't stop though. He killed our 3 man limit of trout, a permit, flounder, pompano, snook, redfish and more. When the cooler was full he stacked fish on the life jackets. Guides like this can do more damage in a week than 10 rec guys in a year. he was so proficient at catching and killing fish.
