Do you live out on the island ? I’m over in the cape and kayak fish regularly. I haven’t fished over there since Ian though. I used to hit Ding Darling all the time.

@SanibelMan 10 күн бұрын
thank you so much!!! Braid is normally 30 lbs, leader is 30 lbs for my artificials typically and 40 lbs for my live/cut bait

Your retrieval is pretty consistent at ding. Single jig/twitch with slow reel in. That the most successful for you?
@SanibelMan 16 күн бұрын
Yes! Especially with it being deeper water/higher tides. I switch it up with shallower water

I like that you keep it simple and fish from a paddle kayak. Many channels fish from pedal kayaks or kayaks with motors, fish finders, power poles, etc. Nice to see someone keeping it simple and catching fish. My son and I also fish from inexpensive kayaks not designed for fishing and we have a blast.

Thank you so much!! I totally agree. Definitely feels more rewarding when kayak fishing is in its simplified form. There's a time and place for all of that equipment you listed, but not for me right now!

Be careful sticking your hand in the water there. I was fishing that same culvert in Ding Darling and there were two 6' bull sharks there going in and out of that culvert. They were in a very aggressive hunt mode.

@SanibelMan 2 ай бұрын

Hey I'll be visiting sanibel tomorrow and Wednesday and plan on renting a kayak and fishing tarpon bay, any recommendations can i ask what bait that is you're using, and it's it worth it for me to get live bait and any chance i can hook into tarpon? Loved the video appreciate any tips!
@SanibelMan 3 ай бұрын
I tend to use artificial lures, specifically paddle tails and artificial shrimp (DOA is the brand I tend to go with). If you don't have a ton of experience fishing with those in the area, buying live shrimp (I buy mine from Whitney's Bait and Tackle) is a good idea. I've seen some tarpon there, but super frequently but there is definitely a chance! Good luck!!!

What brand of Reel are you willing to dunk in saltwater? I have Battle II by Penn and wouldn't think of it. However, I've been using them for four years in WI and FL and there's never been any intrusion. I lost 4 of my "saltwater" reels that I kept in our shed to Ian. Sure glad I haul my Penns back-and-forth.
@SanibelMan 5 ай бұрын
I've probably only ever done that one other time, unless they're salt protected its not worth it. Mine is a live bottom reel, I made sure to pour water on it immediately and have been consistent with spraying it with reel spray as well. What you are doing with your penns is the way to go!

thank you so much!! Beach fishing can get super complicated, but I like to simplify it with either fishing with artificial lures (like the shrimp lure from the video or paddle tails) or live shrimp on a bobber. At least to start! Hope this helps!!

I have had good luck with that same tail. Most of the time I'm using Slayer SST 3 1/2 inch. They Wiggle better than most with a slow retrieve when reviewed by Salt Strong. They are also scented. I have yet to see them in a store so I order them direct.
