Thanks for the sub! I followed back.

Thank you friend

Thanks for the visit

Happy new year, Life had kept me off the water for a month. Mom had a bad trip and fall and was in the hospital a few weeks then rehab for 2 more. She is good enough now that I can get out in the mornings and fish again. At the spot I think I know what you are talking about. There is a rolled up tarp and as the tide dropped looked like a dumped body on the oyster bar.

@ glad your mom is recovering well. Yep, exactly what I hooked into. Lol. U just never know what you could pull up out there.

Happy New year, I've got 2 at once with jacks and mangrove snapper before. Usually it happens with jacks and blue fish because they wull chase an already hooked fish and keep swiping at the lure.

@FishingAroundFlorida oh cool....ya a good point, i have seen jacks and blues chase a hooked fish. A guaranteed hookup of you have a friend with you 😆

Slowing down and a quick wave is what everyone else has done the last couple of years.

If he thinks that wake is big he better be glad dude didn't slow down more! If I'm fishing I want you to pass on across ASAP! No need for chit chat! 🤣 I can't watch these Karen fishermen!!

The right move would have been to slow down to no wake.

Most boaters will slow down to pass a kayak in canal

@FishingAroundFlorida .... unless they Bank around a blind corner and within 2 seconds see a guy sitting there fishing. Also, don't you think that powering down would have caused a bigger wake when the boat sunk down a little bit to zero speed versus staying on plane and passing you at a safe distance? You're being kind of a crybaby for a guy who was sitting around a blind corner. Also, did you not hear him coming?

If you are talking about the snook release, there was a dolphin under the kayak. If I just let the snook go at the kayak the dolphin would have just eaten the snook. Tossing it closer to the mangroves will give it a better chance of living.

Thanks it my favorite area. No giant fish but always a good volume of fish.

I bet those tiny teeth would feel great

it is a de-hooker. it hooks around the round part of the hook, then you turn the fish upside down and a little shake then usually the fish fall off. I prefer using de-hookers on toothy fish to avoid being bitten

When I first started I was afraid. I got over it in a week or so but I still don't wanna touch pickerel bc they're slimy.

I prefer using a de-hooker because most of the time its just quicker and safer

I've had a treble hook get lodged deep in my finger from a flopping fish so now I try just using a de-hooker first

I had just put on a reel i got back from being serviced and it was way too tight

It was right next to the legend of pine island

​@@FishingAroundFloridathat makes it worse. It could have been him.

We usually use the 3 dollar bombers from Walmart but I really like that Berkeley cutter

Ill try...I like the price point

I was thinking big red drum

Glad you enjoyed it

I also live near Orlando and I launch from the Manard-may kayak ramp in edgewater

@ thank you!

You have to use different lures or hold the rod higher or lower to control depth

The snook was definitely injured in the past

he clearly acknowledged it

he literally said “and now there’s a porpoise” are you deaf or did you just not know that means dolphin

It was salt water. I was thinking Tarpon or big red

I'm definitely more careful around the treble hooks now. I'm also super lucky to get a girl friend that like getting up early and kayaking.
