Great trip john looked like a blast. Nice size trout. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffgibson1816]

And this South West Florida , thank you.

[@LongIslandLethals]

I love your Florida kayak videos. The best place for exploration in some calm back water. Just not fond of sharks lol, I'm sure you agree with what I have seen.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

The only place the sharks worried me was near Bahia Honda Bridge. Really big aggressive bulls. Mostly lemons and blacktips where I normally fish, but there are some nasty ones too.

[@Peter-zg3em]

two eats on camera in a row. really cool to see. they were maybe 10 feet from the kayak

[@briansmith1948]

John. What’s the main line to leader knot that you are using? Can’t wait to be back in SW FL in Feb. Love your videos!!!

[@billcancellieri8375]

Do you ever tie on a bite leader? Sometimes when I am concerned with getting bit off for the line weight I have spooled, I uni-to-uni a short section of heavier mono (6-8") to my flouro. I prefer flouro but the mono seems to hold up better for abraision resistance and being a little stiffer than fouro it has added benefit to resist getting snagging hook when using erratic baits or in wind.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I don't because I'm also targeting redfish, and I don't want to go heavier than 30 for those. I normally use 40 for snook and do OK, although I change leaders frequently.

[@dannydanielsnyc]

Some of those catches looked strikingly similiar to Weakfish

[@dannydanielsnyc]

What Bob Ross was to painting, you are to fishing!

[@walterdurand9472]

Of the three kayaks you fish if only could fish one which one would you pick?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

If on Long Island, the Autopilot because I need spotlock for tog and drift control for fluke. In Florida I mostly want the ePDL for how I used it in this video.

[@vipergeddy]

Eagal at the beginning looked like a teradactal lol no osprey

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Eagle was on top of the pole. Pterodactyls, AKA Pelicans, were in the mangroves.

[@johnb2905]

What was that John ?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

You mean the Dolphin?

[@erasamus1057]

you don't worry in the back canals for gators? I was down at my parents in Cape Coral and some locals had me shook. were they overreacting

[@seanhakakian8075]

Day 5 of asking to fish with you when you are back in Long Island
