Gotta love finding a fishy spot where the action is hot in a place that only kayaks can get to! Today was a good day! Find me on Facebook at; / lovekayak.fishing
I have to say your channel is one of my favorite RU-vid channels. I am building myself a customized inflatable boat to trout fish on the local river here. I've built hardwood carpeted floors, put in fishing seats, trolling motor. Between your excellent footage and your eye for DIY I am hooked like your snook! You're inspiring me to start my own videos here on YT.
Very relaxing video with splashes of excitement. I was fortunate to take a trip to St Pete a while back. Beautiful area for yak fishing and enjoying nature. It's a pretty stark contrast to coastal Massachusetts but well worth the trip!
Hi Marty I see you had some good luck. Sunday I went the nest day only had one bite. but I manage to see a Manatee with the wife .. looking forward in coming back in Feb. keep on fishing .. love the video .
YES YES YES !!! Just before i was gonna go for an early night..there it was..Marty's video. Watched with great pleasure..thank you,made my night. Totally brilliant and that sunset picture sillouette with the snook gotta be your Facebook page photo..amazing !! Thanks Marty. Hope the hairs on your arms have gone down....what a day. !
Hi Zoffinger, me and my 8 yrs old son are hooked on your videos... I'm planning to get a kayak soon... We live on the east coast of Florida. I hope I will be able to find somebody here to help us to learn where to find those spots to fishing... Thanks for the videos
Great video. I think it's my favorite one so far. You were lucky to have that hot spot all to yourself for so long. I live over on the east coast - fish Stuart, Jensen Beach, Sebastian areas. Always tons of fishing pressure to deal with.
Thanks Marty. At this time of stress for so many of us it comforting to feel with you in spirit if nothing else. You’re definitely on our agenda when a modicum of normality returns.
Z-nice meditative video. The fact that you get out there for less is what is so great in addition to the fishing techniques. I am on an inland lake in N MS so the fishing is tricky. The bass can be any where or no where at all...
GOOD TIMES!!! great fishing ,great scenery.ITS Because of your vids that i decided to keep my cheap pelican yak and turn it into my personal fishing vessel.Its coming along quite well,i'll let you know how it works out.
What I wouldn’t give to be out there fishing right now. It’s 32 degrees with a high of 38 in KY today. I’ve spent some of my most memorable fishing moments in the creeks and bays that lead into the Gulf of Mexico around Panama City Beach.
Thank you for taking us with you on these great fishing trips. Truely inspiring and enjoyed the beautiful snooky hot spot in the sunset :-) Keep it comming. Tight lines.
Great video Marty. I was in that spot a few weeks ago in the morning, and while I hit a snook or two I had nowhere near that action. That must have been a blast :-)
loved the long video! i lost a large shark last night had me pretty bummed but i will be back at it next week i have been hooked for a long time now. its not just about the spot its knowing how to fish the spot in my opinion so as long as i am not crowded out i dont mind a person or two trying to fish the same spot i am unless they are crossing lines regularly with me. Tight lines i look forward to the next video.
dude your videos are seriously awesome...love it!! just traded my stick shift truck for a couple of pelican kayaks!! gonna start riggin them tomorrow.....after i get back from fishing :)
Hey man. As others mentioned you make some bad ass videos. I make some basic A/c work related videos. But yours are top quality and a lot of time in editing your videos. We really enjoy watching them. Keep up the good work!
Very nice video. I learned some things, too. Nice touch at the end, with you pulling out onto the road...although I was thinking about you having to go back and get the camera after the shot was over!
Wow! that was great! I watched every second ready for that big snook to hit again. What a day. Your DIYstyleYak is friggin great. I really appreciate your fantastic camera work. Most fishing videos miss the action, but you seem to get awesome, centered shots. Bravo, Sir. Keep 'em coming. Sub'd
hey marty! you literally have inspired me to kayak fish im a 17 year old kid living in miami and ive always been interested in kayaks and fishing from small boats in general but man! you put that into a whole new perspective for me! thank you ! and one question- does that twitch twitch twitch pause Technic only apply to snook and redfish? im wondering becouse usually when i fish shallow water i only go for barracuda personally my favorite and i wanted to know if that technic can work for the cudas! thanks once again marty!
Sup, Henry! I have never caught a cuda, so I'm not sure. I learned to use it on Snook and Redfish by trying. Folks would tell me to slow it down, but not till a couple times when I paused to get a drink or something and got a bite, did I really see the technique in action. Ever since then, I've had it it work for me many times (even when the guy next to me is getting no bites) Try it out! :)
Ha that Heddon Spook Jr out fished that live bait. Guys like limecider and slik Nick taught me that technique and I am humbled to show you and you did so well. You should’ve joined our kayak tournaments oh and learn to compete. Nice vid!
Good to see that in some places there are still fish around, and pleased to see that you took at least one home for the pot/grill. One thing bugs me though, as seen on other videos, please get someone to show you how to make fast a line to a cleat !! May loose your kayak one day. all the best Barry.
Hey man how are you, its been warming up here and the fishing is on! I've been watching your videos a lot, I've been subscribed a while, watched all your video's at least 3 times maybe 4, they're just awesome to watch, my favorite ones are when you go into the mangroves especially when that snook pulled you into the tree haha, i just wanted to say you put out some awesome stuff, always excited for the next video! keep up the good work, and dont forget your cold Buds,tight lines! - John from Southern ohio
You can buy metal leaders that are.....well....strong like metal...but thin like fluorocarbon. I use them for fly fishing some time. By them at cabelas. Titanium leader wire... comes in 5 foot lengths and it can be tied in knots.
Excellent video as usual. Great production!! Too bad about the poacher in the yak. He should no better. He should have given you a wide space and kept moving on to his own spot. You are a great outdoorsman and artist. Thanks for the vids.
Marty, You are my new favorite media personality. How did you pan up there at the last when you were loading up? Fantastic single handed camera work! Nice vid! Thank you SO much. Very inspirational.
The pan was a happy accident. The camera monopod was a few feet into the water and wouldn't go very deep in the hard ground at the launch. Partway through the shot, it tipped over backwards into the water. Good thing I had the waterproof housing on and the float attached!
Excellent, Marty! But please...sharpen those hooks...and hold that rod off to the side when you're landing. I don't want you to put an eye out. Know a guy who ended up with a super strike for an earing. Next beer is on me ;)
Marty you lucky guy you i've never been able to fish so many snook and i plan on getting a kayak and thanks man you are a source of great ambition do you have any tips i am living in palm coast florida we have basically the same fishery but we don't have as many snook that i'm aware of any way please throw me a bone
Deanon, I lived very close to the water for many years, oblivious to the great fishing that was so close to me. A girl got me to buy a kayak. A co-worker convinced me to start fishing from it. And then local anglers taught me about artificial lures and the spots to launch from. If you are interested in buying a kayak, you are already on your path. Time on the water will show you things you haven't even thought of yet. And there are some nice folks out there that will no doubt teach you about your local fishery. Be humble. Be respectful. Be safe. And you will learn. I envy the fact that your journey into kayak fishing is about to begin. It is the best of times. My first tip to you would be to respect mother nature. She can be a real b!*ch. Catching fish is ALWAYS second to coming home safely.
You're an awesome dude and I really love your videos! Seriously a real cool style of filming and always some fun catches! I just wanting to poke a little tip towards ya if it's not seen as rude, when you're landing a fish pointing the pole towards it often leads to the hook slipping from the mouth of the fish; I noticed some of your "long line releases" as their fun to call were caused by just that, when the tip gets too pointed towards the fish they pop the hook out. But keep on fishin' and having a good time, and definitely keep the videos coming! Take care and as always, keep a tight line!
Agreed on this tip. Never point the tip of the rod straight at the fish. Let the rod act as the shock absorber and you can also play with your drag settings in case you do hook up with a beast. But too tight of a drag and pointing the rod tip can equate to the loss of a fish of a lifetime for sure. I lost a monster Walleye the other day on the lake because I failed to check the drag on my dad's rod. He took off, slammed my rod down and the drag was way too high and snap! Broke me right off. I am a long time Fly Fisherman and this is very critical when Fly Fishing. Using the light tippet we do requires it. I used to live in Clearwater man, I would paddle my kayak out around Anclote key all the time. I did not fish out of it though. I took a Hawaiian sling ot once and thought I was going to spear fish. That did not go well LOL!
Some of those shots where it looks like you're leaving the camera always get me especially at the end great video this must be you're longest one so far
I watched this when it was first released, it still as good as it was them. I see you HAVE moved on to a powerboat, good for you but never abandon your kayak.
hey man great vids! what brand and model is the kayak your using in this? im looking for a good sit on top kayak that is easy to set up for fishing, but don't want to break the bank either, got any suggestions ?
Marty... You must be a nice guy .. better than me... I so would have read that guy the riot act on invading my spot.. It made my blood boil just seeing him move in like that.. I am ashamed to say I would have started throwing rocks around his boat... big ones! You showed him up but good by catching fish and she with all his gear got zip.. .I am a bad person but I will be damned I would let him slime up next to me like that ... miles of shore line and he had to go right there... he could have gone out from the mouth but NO he has to part 50 ft from you.. you are mellow.. calming kind of guy.. I would have warned him off and then it was rocks ! next life I will be more calm.. Peace
paraebens seus videos sao showww que lugar magico aqui no brasil nao temos tanta conciencia de preservação como ai mas o homem so aprede com seus erros pena que quando for se dar conta disto sera tarde de mais.....abraço.
I bought the 64gig card. A 32 would be enough for a whole day of fishing though. Just be sure you get a quality card. The cheap ones will cause all kinds of issues.
Thanks, Deanon. I felt funny giving such 'old man' like advice, not knowing what level of experience you might already have on the water, but knowing that I inspire folks to venture out onto the water makes me feel obligated to say the obvious. Oddly enough, just today (12/20) in The Tampa Bay Times, there is an article about a 24 year old man that died from hypothermia in 65 degree water when his boat capsized a mile offshore! I heard about it in the local forums where the old timers were repeating the same advice I gave you. I took it to heart as well.
Don’t you just love when you have that much water and some guy wants to move in on you like that. That’s when you put on a treble hook and ops sorry I hooked you sir I’m new at fishing trick comes out.
missin alot of strikes, sharpen those hooks,lol wondering if modifying that lure with one single long shank 3/0 or 4/0 on the back would improve catch, maybe with some feathers tied to it.just sayin
