A Limit of Speckleds out of Pea Soup - April, 2022

Another productive trip of speckled trout fishing in Florida Bay, out of Flamingo Marina, Everglades National Park.
If you believe what the weather forecasters say, the wind on this day should have been at 5mph all day long. Not! It was blowing at 10-15mph all day (apologies for the wind noise you'll hear in the video). At least one boater changed their mind to fish the the inside after backing their trailer down the outside's ramp. That was probably a good decision given that craft's freeboard, especially if they wanted an enjoyable fishing trip....
I fished 5 different locations on this trip. Only the fourth was productive, where I limited out on speckleds within fifteen or so minutes. As the day continued, the wind churned the flats creating lots of muddy water.
Here in south Florida, FWC changed the regs in 2021. In Florida Bay, we now are limited to three fish, 15-19" slot with one speckled per boat that can be over 19" (still counted in the three fish limit per angler).
As always, thanks for joining me on another of my fishing adventures.
Wishing everyone bent rods and tight lines,
~Jim

Nice day with that trout limit. Wow you can see the difference from the morning to when you left on how dirty the water got. Tight lines.

[@JimMFishing]

Thanks Mike. Some days it just works out.

Some nice trout there Jim! Way to go man!

[@JimMFishing]

CC, you’ve experienced it before, many times I’m sure. Fish hard for several hours without a strike, move to yet another location and then limit out within minutes. That’s fishing….

Jesus loves you so much and I need to tell you that He offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but in His. it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Gods wrath and Judgment went on Jesus Because He was carrying our sins so God punished Jesus as if he had sinned now God will Justly treat you like you have never sinned after you believe upon Him and receive his righteousness as a gift and put your trust in Jesus and in he’s obedience instead of you trying to be right with God by the things you do. so when the blood of Jesus is over you God cannot treat you like a sinner! He never wants to but now He can Justly treat you like you never sinned Jesus was our sacrifice for our sins! Tell God you admit your a sinner and ask Him to wash you with His blood and receive His Gift of righteousness. Come out of darkness and into light! it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin -because He loves us.

Hey Jim wonderful video. I remember meeting you at the Hyatt lazy river it was great to get your channel. Crazy it was almost a year ago

[@JimMFishing]

Dave, yes I remember. It's been a while since the family was there. Not sure when we'll be going back...

Video yang bagus 👍 salam kenal dari Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩👉🔔

[@JimMFishing]

Thank you very much for the compliment! Terima kasih banyak atas pujiannya!

[@LetsGoFishingSfla]

Nice! At 10mph you'd think it be better water quality but you did get a limit, that's what counts.

[@JimMFishing]

The first two areas were relatively clean water. You could see where I caught the speckleds that it wasn't too cloudy. It did keep getting worse and it was definitely muddy back at the harbor. The breeze did keep the heat down though. And yes, a limit is what counts. 😁

Based on your experience about how shallow can you float your 1720 in?

[@JimMFishing]

Carolina, KW stated the draft on this hull (2002) at 10 inches. I don't know if that included an outboard (I expect it did not as draft would be dependent upon which motor). My 90 2s is light at a little over 250#. I generally have at least 3/4 tank of fuel, TM and 3 batteries including the crank, me and the fishing gear. I expect she'll float in 12-13" the way I usually travel, including a passenger, but have not got out and measured the draft. Note that I said float - the outboard would be tilted up and maybe the TM barely beneath the surface, or flat out no power. I have gotten stuck in shallow water twice where I had to get out and pull the boat back to deeper water. Sometimes, you just have to get into the skinny waters. :)

Good morning, I have a problem with my key west 1720, when I'm sailing it stops getting water into the nursery, any advice please? .

[@JimMFishing]

Alberto, I believe you are saying that when you are running your 1720, it stops pumping water into the live well. If this is the problem, you need to consider where the raw water intake is on the boat and how the boat displaces water when on plane. Look at the bottom outside of the transom, behind the outboard's lower unit, and you should see a thru-hull opening with a screen cover on it. This is the raw water intake. When you are on plane, this intake is out of the water. When you drop off plane, it is again covered with water and can pump water into the live well.
