What other kinds of videos do y’all wanna see? Thank you for watching! 🔥🎣

[@kepo-le3ed]

Overland/fishing videos would open you up to a whole new audience. And I think that fits your personality. I used to watch you awhile ago all the time but It got to repetitive. Good luck fishing man! Oh and also try ice fishing up in Michigan I’ll help you out!

[@shadowfrosttrucker]

Need to do a trip into the mtns for a 24 hour fishing trip along a creek or river

[@josephwatts8147]

Do a catch and cook with fish typically seen as not good to eat, such as Carp, Drum, Creek Chubs.

[@yaboislameye5245]

I want you to fish in Norway some day

[@samuelczaikowski9232]

Surf fishing tournament videos!!!

[@JollyRogerHobbies]

For everyone wondering, that's the Skyway Fishing Pier, St. Petersburg, FL! A fun place to go fish! Tight lines.

[@fantomphoenix6170]

More specifically, the north end, and then the south at the end of the vid.

[@davetheg28]

Ty for the info. Know how deep it is?

[@fantomphoenix6170]

@@davetheg28 talking about the depth to the water or depth to the bottom? To the water is about 18 ft depending on tide, to the bottom is about 30-40ft depending on where you’re at.

[@WestSide-hl1dl]

Many thanks - shocked he was promoting pier/length, but never bothered to drop name or location!

[@calallen8786]

There much better place than skyway around Tampa Bay area. Skyway is normally 22 ft deep to bottom

[@williamparker1644]

Livin da dream bro. With a big cast net, a 5-gallon bucket and a good spinning rod you'll never go hungry down there.

[@JL_fishing]

Or if you’re a good fisherman u can catch your own bait without a cast net

[@BYZZ77]

Can’t wait for more stealth camping/fishing videos!

[@gypsydaviepearlsnapsportfi5680]

Bro, inflatable truck bed mattress, you'll be much more comfortable. Enjoy the camping videos! Keep em coming. Maybe try one stealth camping along one of the canals? Might be quieter for ya.

[@joshawott3323]

I admire how you can have lots of fun by yourself. I wish to be like this.

[@justry2livlife228]

I’m trying to do the same!

[@Oragamimaster8]

Bro on god like why can’t I do this by myself ?

[@justry2livlife228]

@@Oragamimaster8 #justry2livlife I've been doing it brother! It's wonderful!

[@tacolton1674]

i’d recommend double 5 ceramic tint on the camper shell. would be really dark from the outside but you can see out pretty well with quality ceramic.

[@youtubeyoutube8766]

He never fails to amaze me on his small non tasty looking small micro fishes he cooks hahaha

[@xrod1752]

Hey, so that little green back that you let go is the best bait in Florida. It makes shrimp look silly, most people would be ecstatic to get one on a sabiki rig. Great video though, keep it up!

[@georgekhoury583]

That little Bait fish you caught that had the green on top of its back, don't throw those back in those are better than pinfish. A lot of people refer to him as sardines but they are actually called pilchards they are like candy to a lot of species of fish. Love your videos keep them coming and good luck piece

[@calallen8786]

At skyway we call them Greenbacks or threadfins

[@eugeneweeks3325]

They are threadfins AKA greenbacks and they are the best inshore bait in the Tampa Bay area without any arguments.

[@calallen8786]

2 different species. Threadfin shad are good too. But that one is a scaled sardine aka greenbacks. One of the best bait

[@RTIIadventures]

I was like damn he threw the best bait back

[@justinwilliams9452]

Waking up on the water is all that matters. I spent my 21st bday at a sweet ass lake. I slept in the dirt with my tackle bag for a pillow. Woke up and killed it . Birthday is july 1st did not need a blanket in central PA. Lol

[@brianquintero9844]

So when your fishing on any pier always set your rod on an eye so if a fish takes off the pier doesn’t fray your line and make you lose a fish

[@jujunon9673]

More saltwater fishing please, like shark or deep water boatfishing! Btw Keep Up the Good Work!!!!

[@devinmoore7531]

I remember when you first got your first baitcaster like it was yesterday homie😂 crazy how far you’ve come🔥

[@fishingtacklechannel]

You should get one of those underwater cameras and film exactly what’s going on down there. Enjoyed the video!

[@fishermandave1459]

It's pretty hard to believe that you're just a kid from Delaware 😂😂 keep up the fantastic content dude!!!

[@juans3728]

You need to seal the hatch to keep cold and water out, get yourself a solar panel of 350 to help run the generator and you'll have enough to connect other things maybe a small fridge.

[@georgeguerrafishing4499]

Just a tip. When u set ur rod up on the railing set it on guide. If u get on a big fish that line will hit the concrete and will break u instantaneously. Nice video

[@MOOHSYN]

The small fish, if process it properly, rub little bit of salt and tumeric powder, then you deep fried it til crispy, its gonna be good with some cooked rice.

[@blackfated2398]

Great video! Can't wait to see more stealth camping and fishing videos, keep up the great work!

[@sinkorswimcreativemedia8889]

If you’re live lining the pinfish you should hook it in the nose because if you hook it in the back it’ll stay much closer to the surface. Hooking it in the nose makes it swim down.

[@RC-nw8qu]

Living the dream bro. That’s awesome a fishing pier, camping&fishing on the pier👍

[@johnbosarge407]

You are on the north fishing pier. They also have a south fishing pier. I was working on the big bridge that you can see in the video. Which is called the Sunshine skyway bridge. I fished both of the piers and only caught very small fish ✌🏻

[@armandoramirez4887]

Catch your pinfish at the beginning of the pier they tend to hang out more that way, after a few pinfishes get your Google map out using satellite view and look for the rows of rock piles. If the tide is going towards the rock piles use a light weight for the pinfish. My preference is to scissor off the back fins on the pinfish to make it easier for the fish to eat and seem injured. I live close to the south end love catching grouper out there.

[@tlsmoke23]

There is a technic to fishing those bridges(getting your bait in the zone). Cast and drift your weight less bait under other bridge, clip slider weight on line. 2/3 way give it a snap. Putting your bait in the zone. I want to see you fish Fla piers and inlets. There you will gain knowledge.

[@brandonherman9940]

The older man was a real life Pokémon NPC “Go catch em all!” 😂🔥

[@zman3397]

The area was just ravaged by the worst red tide in 50 years. I was on the skyway in July, hundreds of dead fish floating, one really nice snook I saw dead after reading an article stating the snook populations were unscathed. Needless to say I wouldnt be eating anything out of the Tampa area for a little while.

[@blakewales5776]

Firststatefishing videos are getting better and better nice video ❤

[@davidborrero7589]

Next time put the green back on a medium rod their an amazing bait and catch snapper snook mackerel they are the best bait

[@hotdogmaninspace]

Next time ur at the skyway, look for markers people have placed on the railing. Duct tape, rope ect. It’s where the rock structure is. Also no pin fish is too big for grouper fishing.

[@SHO_365]

Gonna be another banger! 🔥 I would love to see a tiny crankbait challenge…

[@MECH-MASTER]

I love the bait runner, it is so multipurpose. Fun video. 👍

[@tikas18]

Damn bro! Saltwater fishing plus catch and cook ! That’s awesome 👏 keep it up just like that ….

[@mirandamaher9465]

That small greenback was perfect snapper and mackerel bait.

[@corrupticus1]

Green pepper Cholula is da BOMB!

[@jimmymartinez1892]

I love the Skyway piers, good fishing most of the time.

[@Poppabill48]

Come back April/May. Rocks are about 25-100 yards off the pier.

[@PescaRD]

Love youre vids man ... keep up the good work ... 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@comfortablynumb9342]

The baits you let go were perfect. There's no such thing as a pinfish that's too big, and small greenbacks are awesome too.

[@alexisserrano3989]

Before you get into the pier there’s some shallow areas you can fish from you can go about waist deep and fish

[@PikaaaaCHUUUU]

The green backs are more candy than the pin fish. Also don't leave your rods unattended. I've lost them over the pier and been spooled out there

[@UngreatfulTaco]

Weed through the smallins to get to the biggins, keep it up bro. I like seeing you catch them all.

[@toshigawakei3072]

You need 1 surf rod there, use a slightly heavier sinker at the bottom with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook hanging. Use large shrimp👌maybe it will work.

[@LifewCat]

Yo we’re in Delaware thanks for great consistent content!!!👍🏼

[@TheGodzsoldier]

Yes red tide has affected the fishery. Checkout Apollo power plant or anclote when it’s chilly with your kayak and some goofy jigs. Good luck

[@adventureswithgrumpyjim1089]

you should try a stealth fishing camp overnight in the wild, great content and love your videos because the fishing is real sometimes you get a fish sometimes you don't but that is why they call it fishing, keep up the great work

Your video is very good, your fishing is amazing, only big fish, you are an excellent professional fisherman. Hugs and good fishing always!👍🎣🐠🐟

[@davidterry6100]

Want down there from Orlando and caught kings at the end of the pier and Spanish mackerel

[@christianjensen3182]

You should head down to the everglades, it's covered up with invasive species. Mayan cichlids, peacock bass, oscars, all good to eat.

[@bassnbeers]

i would recommend a mattress topper to put on top of the pad

[@SeamusHilleary]

This is going to be a banger!!!

[@TheRealFraen]

Dude it’s soo cool watching fish places that I’ve been! Maybe one day I’ll meet ya

[@1giantfan473]

Hey man. So i am a 47 yr old. Lived in NJ all my life up to 4 yrs ago. Made the leap from jersey shore to a town called Land o Lakes Florida. Back than it was the right move. We moved and rented to make sure it offered what we needed and how far from beaches and all Florida has to offer. I love being on the gulf. The fish on the gulf is like the Everglades. But if yur looking to buy now in Florida. Do not. The asking prices are outrageous. Just like everything. It will flip in a year or so. Don’t start life at 26 or 27 with a home that is worth 280 and now the bids are 100k plus. Best bet to find out if u are truly in it. Rent a home for the winter. There is plenty of. Short term availability. Try it out. If u need spots to search on the gulf side. Reach out. For both fishing and housing. Best of luck

[@chadwellman870]

The green backs are really good bait for snapper and Groupe

[@chuckyoneil2853]

This is great I subscribed! Thanks.

[@SSHitMan]

Should have thrown a big flairhawk jig along the shadow line at night. Lots of big fish hang out there.

[@42Marica]

Man I love the series

[@ethantruong3819]

Heading to the rocks by the entrance you will catch big sheepsheads and some snooks, mango snapper pretty small tho

[@randallfoster6107]

I went down there on vacation and fish Donuts a that's the Skyway Pier

[@Saltloony]

You should try the keys. Took my son there and we camped in the van overnight and had tons of fun. We caught multiple species the next day before we left. Key is to find spots where fish hold.

[@ethantruong3819]

On the bridge while it’s dim try using the shrimp again i had a lot of lady fish catches

[@SJ.RAIDER]

Dude I love this place, we go once a year!!! You need to free line a bait fish for the gags

[@isaiahfrancis8490]

Love the videos man

[@dirtydenim83]

the green backs are perfect for grouper,mangrove+ and the pinfish are to.They will help you alot when fishing the peir so if you come back one day to fish write this as a note to self.please trust me on this if you search are greenbacks one of the bait that would be a yes. (also you should get a cast net and dont eat the pin fish they are only suppost to be used for bait but some people eat it for some reason😬)

[@williambenton4316]

Ive enjoyed many nights fishing there with my boys when i lived in Florida. I actually live in Delaware now...lol.

[@vincenturso5012]

Grouper most fish between the 2 Bridges Watch some of the Tampa bay channels they will give good info these spots some include the locations and tips and baits for the action at each. If you leave the sky way Apollo beach, Apollopower planet ft De Soto johns pass all places if you leave the bridge.

[@JUANWiCK_PR]

I go there a lot…great fishing every time

[@Josephc_813]

If you ever get a chance go fishing at Sebastian Inlet State Park that is one of the best fishing spots in Florida there are some monster snook and reds out there

This is true, although sometimes it's overcrowded.

I just moved out from Tampa Bay area. Don't even like it there anymore. Traffic, can't even see the beach anymore while driving along the beaches, too many high-rise, condos, it just booming anymore.

Perfect bait ....more than 1 hook +....nice mon good luck

[@totalannihilation9065]

I used to fish there a lot when I first started fishing. I do mostly Bass fishing now. Just FYI the sabiki rig should catch small pin fish without using anything other than what its got. I think it glows on the dark. Plus the fishing is slow most of the year, I'm assuming because it gets overfished over there. Nice video BTW.

[@kel_bandz8462]

Gotta go at night and use a zip line rig, or a big surf rod to get it out and you can catch blacktips, kings, tarpon, snook, etc. also goiliaths and gags if you fish the bridge side
