AND she fishes too! Hope that works out for both of you! Nice video.

Which DSLR camera are you using to film?

That big Snook was FIRED up looking for bait. So sick...

I agree about seeing sharks. On the one hand it’s disconcerting seeing a fellow apex predator that big up in shallow water but at the same time it’s encouraging because he’s there for a reason, and it means you’re in an area that’s likely to hold gamefish. Same goes for Dolphins and Gators. I was up a tidal creek with my kayak and came around the bank and found a big gator sitting there next to an S-curve with a nice deep hole. I posted up against the opposite bank from him and started casting in the hole and sure enough started catching Speckled Trout one after another.

Christian I told u in the last video fluke is the thing I’m from Cape Coral and every time I’m going to Everglades or Naples that’s how we got fish!!!!! Really good video keep killing it having fun

Nice. I use both and in the winter I think slower preso in the BC might be the key.

I left an old pro green with a tranx 151 with my father in fl just to throw 5 in jerk shadz when i visit. Great moderate action soft plastic setup. The mangroves are so different from where i fish it was awesome

I'd rather just watch her fish.

What the….? Wot happened to the fly rod?🤷🏽‍♂️

Got the same smiths. Guides choice and same colors also. Love em. Try thier new polarchromatic adjusting lenses. I like my smiths more than Costas.

Awesome video, glad Grace landed fish. Awesome seeing you throw that baitcaster. Baitcasters are the only way I’ve fish for 26 years…even have them on my surf rods.

Going to a chickee this weekend. Going to freeze. Your vids been hyping me up

Was such a fun day w you

Baitcaster are the only way inshore.. caught 25-35” snook 20-30” reds no problems. Always grabbing my Revo x on 6’6” med rod. I choose it over the dc curado and daiwa tatula all good reels but that cheap ass revo feels nice.

Dang brother, another awesome video!! I always used a bait caster w 20lb mono, dont ever backlash w braid, lol..a mess!! Little thing I did w my fluke was use paneling nails for the weight and glass rattles for sound and sometimes I would dip the tail in red or chartreuse . Skipping flukes under mangroves was my thing, spent hours at my swimming pool skipping for practice , all about thumb control and the angle that fluke first hits the water..Your red house boy here..Great to she Grace enjoying the Everglades!! Thanks for the video Christian and God Bless brother!!

🌴 Hey Chris & Grace, what a great day together and you got fish , that was a huge snook shagging bait.a top water might of got his attention, well buddy this is one heck of a way to up grade your vid’s , I hope you and grace start doing more vid’s from what I could see she may be your best catch yet 👍🏼😆

Was that brade you had on your baitcaster?

I have a buddy who is a solid fisherman with some impressive catches ,,,He lives on the Estero River with a couple boats but he says Estero Bay is for fun and just chilling on the water and when he is Fishing he only goes Down South to the 10k Islands like you have been doing lately ,,, Definitely the Best Fishing down here in SwFla

Dang. Grace killed it. She is your good luck charm.

Beautiful video, and great theme, I struggle a little on very windy days, and with Very light lures, the temptation is to get a DC reel

What sun hoody is that!? I want one!

Subbed! Really enjoying the way you film and stories you tell. I grew up in Homestead, Florida fishing these waters. Your videos remind me of my childhood fishing there. Now living and fishing out of South Carolina, Murrells Inlet.

I just said hello today cool guy

A 5" yo-zuri pencil all day long to entice the bite in those conditions.

What FD do you work for?

Im in cocoa beach but want to do a trip like this, do you charter?

Christian, you may not have gotten any monsters but you did catch fish in an unknown area. That's exactly what you have to do so you learn patterns, where they are according to weather, and what they are eating or biting. I watch you because you remind me of a younger version of myself, I could probably be your Gpa at this point in my life. one thing I did used to do is keep a journal of my outings with weather conditions, tides, wind, catches and bait used, etc. It helps allot to be able to check on various spots, especially if you plan on possibly being a guide in the future. Keep Them Rods Bent!

Great video as always! Was wondering to fish out there, is there a cost for launching the boat? And then is it difficult to find parking lot? Thanks again for the content and advice.

Such a masterpiece! You deserve more views, loving comments and subscribers. Best regards from Sweden :)

Ever use a Thumper shrimp?

As always, great video !!!

What leader are you using?

Man I’d love to go to the Everglades! Can I launch at chokoloskee and use my pedal drive to get on fish or do you normally go pretty far?

more fly fishing pls i love it so much i think i am going to get the TFO blitz for my b day

Well done christian. I fished the day before and found temperatures at the dock 61°. Like you, I worked through many different spots and finally found temperatures above 70° which is where we were finally able to produce. Just like you I have said it many times that the Everglades is the most beautiful place in the world and there is no doubt it can humble you. Thanks for the video. I’m there a couple times a week so I am sure we will meet one day. Until then.

Awesome Video Christian. You need to bring some loppers in a box on your boat to make life easier getting through those tight creeks! Keep on Keeping on son!

Pls make more fly fishing vids they are awesome I love the vid ❤😊

Does that guy, Bishop, drive a RAM? Maybe a HEMI?

Have you ever been out to flamingo

Maybe some branch lopppers might be a requisite addition when heading for the mangroves?

Hey Brother..Great video as always!! Just love seeing you fish the Everglades!! Your red house boy here, I fish a lot and there goods days and slow days, its fishing.January gotta b tough for snook.I always fished April and October ..Appreciate the videos..God Bless Christian ..Just remember there are people in W. NC and LA w no place to call home...peace dawg

10/10 content as always keep it up

I got to get out there🎣

Awesome video, what rod is that?

Let’s gooo

🌴Hey my friend , well not every day on the water is productive but you did get a few small snook so ya didn’t get skunked, it’s still just being great being out in nature I have a tendency to start tossing everything the tackle box at em if I don’t get hits hoping for the magic response I guess it’s a gut reaction , then the questions you ask yourself am I fishing the lures to fast or to slow , are they tucked up way back in the mangroves? 🤔 just trying to figure things out , and could I have did or tried something different, at the end of the day ya just chalk it up to a learning experience and wait for the next shot out on the skinny water , thanks for taking us along ,great vid as always see ya on the next one 👍🏼

Chokoloskee always the best. I had a pretty good day Sunday, started out pretty slow with the cold but once i went towards some areas with muddy bottom like you’ve said in some of your videos, I saw the water temp go up. I was able to sight cast a few nice fish when the sun came out. I think the deeper sections were just way too cold.

More drone shots in 2025🙏

The paddleboard snook certifies you as a legend bro....that was to cool! Nice work!

Capt Legutki is one of my buddies from the Good Old days surfn (when Naples has waves) ,,Fishing and hanging out around Pier n 13th St !! Legutki and a few other guys have become very successful fishing guides in Naples area ,,Salute to them for following what they love
