Kayak Fishing during Low Tide 

Your videos are like psycho therapy....... I'm wishing relaxing fishing trips to all.

I'm still loving your old videos all these years later. Thank you!

You taugh me "catch and release" in another video, now you teach me that lesson again. Thank you! :) I live in Vietnam, some people around my area live by catching fish, they catch whatever its big or small. I know its bad, but they're poor and they need it to feed their family. I watched alots of your vids and by your GoPro, I saw alots of fish swiming below the boat everytime it goes down. Then, when I go to the riverside and fishing, there only small fishes left... I caught, then I release as your move. May be I have badluck, or wrong way of fishin. But I think, for now, the only way for me to see the big fishes like yours is... dreaming and watching your videos :) Thanks again !

This is the most chill fishing channel I have ever seen. Very necessary for these troubled times. Thank you.

You make my day when I see that you've posted another video.

Have never watched anything more relaxing on RU-vid....appreciate it.

I was going to watch a movie on Netflix with my son but found myself here because I was looking for a kayak for fishing. My son and I spent a couple of hours watching your videos. You make the sport come alive and you treat your audience with respect. Well done on a fantastic job!

I like at the end when you were talking to those people. I've had days that I've spent more time letting people look at my kayak and answering questions (about why do I fish out of a kayak...and how...and where does everything go...and you're actually going out THERE?? IN THE OCEAN??) than I did fishing. One guy even asked if he could sit in it... Sure! Why not! Most people are just curious, and many that I've spoken with really appreciate the ingenuity of making your own stuff...wether it be a cart, the milk crate...or any other add ons... I'm glad to see that you're not only sharing your enthusiasm with like minded folks here in RU-vidr land, but also just plain folks out enjoying the sun! A friendly smile and a little conversation go a long way to giving kayak fishermen a better name. Keep paddlin', and tight lines! Russ

I have to say..I have not enjoyed a video as much as I enjoyed this one in a very long time. I click on kayak-fishing videos three times a week at least, and I can't believe I never ran into one of yours. Thank you for posting !!

To clear up a little confusion about the fish you call a rockfish. A lingcod is a sharp snouted fish from the Pacific Ocean while the oyster toadfish is the blunt snouted strong jawed fish you caught here. This is the frustrating thing about common names and why scientists use scientific names so that no matter where they're from or what language they speak, they all have the same name. As always great and enjoyable video, Marty! Your videos are what made me decide to get a kayak for my fishing expeditions.

Buddy, Its not the angling I like the most in your videos, but the preparations and Kayaking. Enjoying your videos. Keep posting. :)

really like your videos mate . making the most of fishing situations us fishermen have really like the background music really relaxing 👍

I have learned more about fishing in Florida from your videos as I may have learned my entire life here as a native Floridian. I really appreciate your videos ! Even these older videos I am just now watching. Thanks! If I ever bump into you, drinks are on me bro! I'm in Palm Beach County so feel free to look me up if your around.

Enjoyed this video. I just purchased a 12 ft malibu kayak and I cant wait to get it out on the water. This video only adds fuel to the fire.

I get my first taste of saltwater fishing at the end of the month your channel helps a bunch thanks Craig

I really enjoyed your fishing video.... I must admit I have seen many videos but your's allowed me to really enjoy the beautiful outdoors and great taste in music I also enjoyed the captions in there place. Made me wanna go fishing. Great Job. hope to see more fishing videos.

Hello zoffinger - thanks for posting your awesome videos! I just discovered your videos a few days ago. You pay meticulous attention to detail and setting up your shots. It really makes your videos interesting and the explanations are clear and easy to understand. The music is excellent... What you did with that boat is genius! I'm planning on a spitfire 8 now myself thanks to you and your videos - thank you so much for sharing! I'm on the muddy side of the gulf near Galveston up in Spring, Texas... All the best to you!

Another great offering man! Thanks for sharing. Great tunes by the way.

I appreciate your videos man thanks for for taking the time and making them

Dude love your vids. You give a lot of inspiration to people with them.

Awesome video! Very well shot, and the whole very pleasing and peacefull. Thanks for sharing

What a good video. You have the perfect laid back personality to make your own videos. Can't say the same for a lot of people on RU-vid!

What a great day you had back here ❤️

love your videos man!! They are serene and relaxing

Great video. Thanks for the tips, just got my first fishing kayak for the intercoastal here in NC....thanks.

Best fishing video ever!! good job Mr. Zoffinger!

Great videos man - really chilled vibe - love watching them with my kids here on the Southwest coast of England...it's encouraging us to get out in our kayak and learn to fish !! thanks Zoffinger

I love fishing from a kayak. I'm enjoying your videos, very relaxing. Thank you Sir.

i really enjoy ALL your videos....you seem like a guy just like me...who just loves to be out there weather its 1 fish or 100....keep making these...you have a knack for it...tight lines from the north east

Thank you for the many fine fishing trips I have been on with you. Music is great and in the background as it should be. Great job man keep on fishing. Missouri.

Your video is flat out amazing! Narration was perfect, excellent shots. Freaking awesome.

Your vids are well made. They have inspired another po' man like me to yak up. Thanks dude !

great video! that is going in my favorites to watch again

Here in the indian river we have power plants (two one for titusville area and one for I believe cocoa and what not) that we fish. Its great to get your kayak up close to the turbines where other boats may not be able to get. We throw some cut mullet and bring up reds, trout, etc. Its a great place to fish when its cold out.

Clicked for the fish, stayed for the bass playing. Lol. Cool vid. 👍

Looked like an amazing day. Great video

That first fish was a Grey(Mangrove) Snapper and good thing you played it safe with the Toadfish they do have venom on their spines on top of their head, I am from the big bend area of Florida and fish all the time, I am so grateful to live in a area with such a diverse ecosystem, one place I fish you can start at the mouth of the river catching large mouth bass and red drum at the exact same spot. There's nothing better than hooking up on a bull red(Red Drum) or a gator trout(Spotted Sea Trout). Keep up the great videos.

Thanks for the videos Marty, I live in Sun City and my son in law and I went out today, Christmas, and caught about 60 reds and about a dozen sheep head from 2:00 to 5:00.Went out from the mangrove crab bridge on 41 the flats were mud to about 6 inches so we looked for a hole and found one at 27degrees 52 min 47.24 north 82 degrees 24' 0.44 W. Used shrimp, artificial, but mostly mangrove crabs. of course with that kind of bite anything worked. Only one was over 18 and that one got away! all the sheep head were under 12. used circle hooks and a dehooker so we were able to release without harm. Most not even touched. Have a great year.

I stumbled upon your shark from a kayak video and subscribed immediately afterwards. Your videos are calming, sometimes intense but always full of good things! Thanks for what you do and keep the videos coming! ~john

Out of all my channels this one is my favorite to watch. To one of the coolest dudes that I don’t know. LOL 😂

I really do enjoy your videos I don't live in fla but fish there a lot trying to find me a kayak look fun great tips in your videos thanks man happy fishing

Really Enjoyed watching your video!!

Outstanding video these are always my favorite inshore fishing. Keep up the great work thumbs up!

I really enjoy your fishing videos... From the camera shots to the music..thanks

Your videos are the best on RU-vid, you deserve more subscribers, love your vids, keep up the good work.

Amazing video Marty always watch yours for fishing. Ill also keep those tips in mind. Ilive in the TB area too and love to go fishing at Ft Desoto

This was the first video of yours i stumbled across while searching for kayak fishing. I too live in Tampa Bay area and have started to get into fishing. I agree with the other comments about how well this one was made, music and everything. Really makes me want to get out and rent a kayak and get my feet wet (ha! Pun intended)

i loved the scenery. its beautiful

Great videos really enjoy watching them

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and the music!

you do a wonderful job. you teach and entertain, thank you .

great video, very inspirational! i live right down the street from that place on Moccasin wallow. nice to see a local place on youtube. you went out there with what you had and just showed what a perfect day of fishing is. my hat off to you!

You Know I have watched a lot of your videos, I see the commitment you make in what you do. Keep it up my friend, to bad your not in Texas I would enjoy fishin with you. FISH ON

I am a young fisherman and I learned a couple of new things in this vid so I need to use that today but thanks for this awesome vid

great video, thanks for sharing the trip

I just wanted to say that you really inspire me to start fishing I'm working on getting a fishing rod so that I can fish from the docks until I can get a boat to fish out in lakes in stuff but anyways keep the videos going thanks

i love your set up

Very professional video. Well done, Mate.

I fished both of these spots at cockroach bay yesterday :) love the videos!

That was a really cool video. Awesome editing and nice music. Makes me want to get out!

Man I love your videos so relaxing! We sure would appreciate some catch and cook videos 😉

I really love the respect that you have for fish, you handle them well and give them a good chance to live to fight another day, I been watching other vids where they have no clue.. makes me frustrated -_-

Great vids! Really enjoy your style

Fun video! I was stuck on low tide this past sunday out of Aripeka. I found some isolated pools that had tons of bait (minnows) but no solid fish in there. I'll learn a cast net soon to get 'em!

Awesome video one the best I've seen on RU-vid.

Good tips as usual. I watched several boats get towed by SeaTow after getting stuck. Kayak is definitely the way to fish .

Thanks for the soft music on the video. Nice video !!

Great videos enjoyable to watch! Makes you want to get out there. Oh well stuck in the cold northeast.

this is why I love Florida!

I'm basing my yak after watching your vids. Thank you, I learned a lot!

As usual my hum drum day at the office is made a little better by looking at your vid. during my lunch.

THIS IS AMAZING! I need to get my life down in Florida. Awesome video man.

I love low tides in Florida. everything amazing lurks especially around mangroves

Mangrove snapper, toad fish and piggy perch. I was amazed at this video. Nice job bud

3:13 fish jumping... love your stuff Marty

I live in California in San Diego right next to the border to Mexico. Great fishing. Last summer we had tuna. We were catching them off shore. They were huge. 3 to 4 feet long. Also king mackerel. I'm only 13 but I love fishing I go down to Mexico every weekend to go fishing. In cabo San Lucas I coaght a 10 foot blue marlin. An hour and a half long fight. I suggest go down the peninsula of Mexico. I drove from San Diego all the way to the end of the peninsula. Good fun.

Awesome video! I found hooking shrimp through the tail results in more snapper hookups. They attack from the back. They don't like the shrimps front prongs. I changed the hook position and immediately starting consistently hooking the bait stealer snappers

Good catches especially the sheepshead! It's the opposite on the east coast we get really high tides and not so low tides. But in the everglades gulf side the tide is just like this really low tides.

also i just wanted to say you remind me soo much of my father and i can tell you are a great guyand i love your videos and ive seen at least half in one night

Hey mate, love your videos. That fish you weren't sure on at the 9 minute mark was what most people call a red snapper - in Australia we call them Mangrove Jack's, absolute prize fish. Meant to be one of the best table fish, they are very sporting, especially after the 40cm mark, once they hit a certain size they head out to sea. Usually the first 2-3 seconds of a Mangrove Jack fight determines if you've caught or lost the fish. Love your work mate.

Very nice video and great editting, just like a pro. What a nice day you had. Congrats.

Love the vids man keep up the good work :)

awesome video mate, great stuff.

Another goodun!.... I'm a subscriber!

Mangrove snapper :) Can live in fresh, salt and brackish water. Loves shrimp!

Kiyaking is the way to go fishing anywhere

6 years later. the grandfather of kayak fishing.. for me anyway :D

Awesome video!

Great video, love the back trax, too. Extremely well done. You are exactly right, Marty. Survey the surf at low tide. In fact I've caught some of my biggest fish at dead low tide (the pro's round here scoff at me - say it ain't possible) . When the water level drops the baitfish have to retreat to deep water and the game fish will stay in those holes waiting for the incoming.

And great video by the way. It must be nice to live down there in Florida. I live and fish here in Charleston SC and its COLD today. Down in the 30's this morning. Not good for yak fishing....

awesome fishing, thanks for sharing

You should start a kayak fishing tour service. I would move there and work for you in a heartbeat. Great job. Just got back from Surf City, NC where my wife and I kayaked through a small part of the inter-coastal waterway.

Great video.

I look forward to your videos and have learned a lot. I am actually catching bigger fish here in the SC marshes thanks to your videos!

great show mate :)

so nice, you have a lot of fishing spots and a lot of different species of fish to catch, also love the setup of your kayak,next time try to showcase how you cook those fish :-) that would be more exciting too, perhaps...

Love your videos, they get me through the cold northeast winters! Where do you get the music for your vids?

Nice spot,went there yesterday and tore the snook up while tide was low.

this is an amazing video, like always. you are my favorite guy to watch on youtube. but one thing, i noticed you were starting to quit when the tide came in. i personally have found that when the tide is rising, all of the fish anxiously come in with the water looking for crabs and other critters that went onto the once-dry land. i cought my largest amount of fish fishing a rishing tide, (16 redfish, 24 trout, 4 flounder and 9 ladyfish all within 4-5 hours on plastics and spooks). but i do take into consideration that you had 3 shrimp left. and those were working at the time. thanks for making such amazing vids!!!!!

I didnt know watching someone fishing can be this fun lol
