Great lesson CA! Thank you so much!!!!

[@pathaley4609]

Great Vid. Keep them coming.

[@Trout-Anator]

Thank you Cpt. CA, you are my favorite professors in the art of catching fish.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Thanks for the compliment

[@Quazo594]

This is my favorite video by far I have seen you do. Watching the lure action you are giving it, the gear breakdown, the reasons why you are doing this over that. Man absolutely great video.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Appreciate the analysis, we will try to do more

[@mikefalcon670]

Love your channel, big fan! If possible please do a video on navigating the Nature Coast, how you mark spots, what electronics you use and how many lower units you've blown out! Maps, topology, navigating to bars, flats, tides and creeks. Keep up the good work and God Bless!

Florida Marine Tracks is your friend.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Everywhere… you can find many videos on braid visibility in regards to color and many agree. Gray, White and Lt Blue are the least visible for sure! Thanks for the great question and the support for the channel.

Hey C.A. You will LOVE the Fitzgerald Rods. I have been with Trevor since his first All Purpose line up. And when I started more inshore fishing and moved into the Aquadream series, man this lineup is killer. And best of all using Fitzgerald Fishing products supports our local team here in Florida. And Trevor built his way up too. From a full time police officer and being a weekend warrior tournament fisherman, to being a high level pro now and top shelf rod builder, the entire Fitzgerald Fishing Team is the best. Welcome to team brother. I hope to get a chance to fish with you oneday. Thank you for all you do for us out here on the water!!

[@flatsclasscharters]

I was talking to Trevor back in 2019 about joining Fitzgerald Rods but Shimano wouldn’t allow it. But now that my contract is up I have a little more freedom since I’m not going to be a marquee personality with Shimano moving forward. But I’m still going to continue utilizing Shimano’s reels…

[@gatorbait022]

Awesome. I was already a big follower of yours, and now it's even better now. And hey, Trevor has a reel line up too. You never know. I have always wanted to put them to the test also. If anybody can, it damn sure would be you. Have a great Monday brother. Keep bringing the education we all love. @@flatsclasscharters

Great video.

Huge fan of this channel, Would love to hear some tips and tricks on the zman chatter-bait I’ve used it in freshwater a few times but would love to add it to my inshore lineup

[@flatsclasscharters]

Zack we can work on that idea

Thanks for the diamond braid info, and the color preferences. If you don’t mind me asking, what is the vest you use, could be a great Christmas gift.

[@bigk3381]

Thank you for sharing Capt. I have a question, those three colors is that what you prefer in the Florida area or everywhere.? Texas water seem to be a little different than everybody else especially up here on the upper Texas Gulf coast. "Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya"

[@dimario2000]

For your BC setup, how are you setting up your leader? Do you use a swivel for soft plastics? I'm curious to understand your recommendation for how you connect your leader to your braid, where you add a swivel, and how long the leader is.

[@mikeconnelly9765]

I have been using Diamond for a while now as they are based over here in Clay County and my local store Resellers Reef carries as their primary. Really good line, cast a mile, strong.. No issues at all

[@flatsclasscharters]

Mike- thanks for that type of intel… positive feedback for Diamond Braid

[@kpocala1061]

I started making lure weight labels for my rods so i can see the weight size easier when I'm setting them up. Some of them 8 strand braids are so limp it can be tricky for me to tie knots.

[@flatsclasscharters]

That’s smart understanding what rods swing and work lures best… makes set-up much easier before your outing

[@sts242]

You said it before me but I was thinking it. Those airboats are annoying. But, they've been there a long time just like the glades.

[@CastawayChronicles]

May we know what combo this baitcaster you were using is?

[@treehugger4916]

Where are you able to buy the diamond illusion flouro? I have used momoi diamond p flouro leader for years and swear by it, but Im almost out and I cant find it nor the illusion anywhere. I normally use 30lb. I fish out of yankeetown all the time so if its a local tackleshop I can even do that. I also usually use the pink color for the clearer water around yankeetown/crystal river, do you prefer clear?

[@flatsclasscharters]

I almost always use the clear Illusion Fluoro… it has been tougher to find but I know that restock of Illusion Leader material should be available soon once again

[@woodystemms3799]

Are you parked next to a big-rig at idle? There's a ton of low bass on the soundtrack.

[@AliexFolgueira]

i had those chili roasted pitachos, ate the entire bag in like 30 mins lol!

[@flatsclasscharters]

😂 me too!

[@henryschmidt636]

Foolish of Shimano/Powerpro to separate themselves from you. You gave them a lot of heartfelt promotion. You are the best place for them to connect with inshore customers. I thought they were stupid for dumping Larry Dahlberg, but this is really stupid of them.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Honestly it was a mutual decision because we couldn’t negotiate another opportunity I wanted to pursue. And in the end this move for me will make our KZbin channel much better and diverse.

[@Philip-gy4fi]

I have a solar reel with TFO 7 ft 6 in fast a medium fast action the the real is a 3000

[@jnorman975]

Are you no longer partnered with Shimano?

[@TCampbell1990]

The fans want to know

[@flatsclasscharters]

I’m with them just on a limited partnership with their reels but no exclusivity. It’s better for our KZbin channel actually

[@TCampbell1990]

@@flatsclasscharters gotcha. Thanks for the reply. Interested to see what rods you recommend over the coming months!

When i have those bad days on my yak, I troll. I try to go along the edge of the flats and channels. If still no fish, hi ho it’s off to McDonaldsI go for a consolation prize, McFish sandwich.
