Frabil makes a folding telescopic landing net that probably weighs half a pound and I’ve got one that’s like 10 years old and I love it! I abuse it with 20lb fish that hang 2/3 out of it all the time and it straps on to my backpack shoulder straps and stays out of the way even when flipping artificials

[@SkyNetGeneral-]

lol “no fishing sign 🪧 “ breaking the law 😂 a true fisherman 👍

[@Fishingwithkayson23]

3:00 no fishing as you make a cast😂😂

[@jettartze315]

This is crazy bro i live 5 minutes away where ur fishing .the owner said hes bein sein alot of tarpon in there lately

[@MrDomm85]

Nice work, bank fishing can be challenging, but it produces. I wade and bank too. Can’t afford a kayak yet! 🎣🥊

[@CRFHERO41]

Nice video man! I just got a shimano Stradic 3k and a 7ft medium heavy shimano terramar rod, my first fish on the new setup was a 5lb bass😂

[@simplefloridafishing]

Nice!

0:07 you know James imma tuned into every video 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾

[@CurtCatchemFishing]

Fire video bro. Love the urban fishing. Gotta hit some of these spots.

[@MrEdGetDough]

I’ve been fishing the lil spot in the cut for yearsss always gotta get down to land good fish there

[@21Brace21]

kastking has a foldable net on Amazon big enough to land big snook with extendable handle. I just tuck it between my back and back pack. Comes in clutch

[@simplefloridafishing]

That seems like something I should look into

[@21Brace21]

@@simplefloridafishing $34, ain’t bad at all bro. I’ve only had mine a month so I don’t know about how long it’ll last but it’s good for the price.

[@got1769]

I was born and raised around there!!! If you know these spots, You know 😆

[@FLAWDAMANFISHING]

It’s unfortunate how pressured st Pete/ Tampa fishing is right now. I found one good spot and someone posted a tiktok and told everyone where it was and it’s burnt now 😔

[@simplefloridafishing]

I know man, there’s nowhere good anymore… people wonder why I don’t give spots away and that’s exactly why. Because people blow it up and then there’s no more good fishing for anyone anywhere.

[@terryclark9532]

I am a florida native. Grew up fishing the flats from Bradenton to St. Pete and you’re right, it’s definitely overpopulated and over fished. I have since moved to the mountains but still spend at least 10 days a year on the beach down there. I used to live a few blocks from spot #1 spending many morning and evening fishing that whole area the same way your are. let me tell you, walk across the street this winter after a good cold snap. Fish the east side of the canal from the little bridge to the first curve in the canal and you’ll be shocked. That thing gets loaded with big snook once the water temps drop. That dark mud bottom will hold them their for much of the winter.

[@simplefloridafishing]

@@terryclark9532 oh I bet man!!! Totally seems like it holds big ones

[@alexjones-qe5gc]

Yeah it’s got so much worse over the last 10 years

[@NickedLips]

What’s TikTok? Haha they’re all burnt because of over population and cast netting especially! If you fish them certain days fish move in and out with tidal movements so fishing tidal movements help fr!!

[@dcgo44r]

don't worry for the hook! that was the best thing it could have happened to him! e few more minutes out the water and there was no recovery for him!

[@moegamatabrahams6773]

A net would be a nice tool to have

[@simplefloridafishing]

Definitely lol a drop net I gotta get one for bridges too

[@Crter585]

What setup is recommended for little tarpon and snook?

[@WilliamKiene]

Good channel so I subscribed to help it thrive.

[@moisesramirez7898]

I’m trying to get into salt water fishing , is there a reason why you guys use 10lb braid , is it for more line capacity? Or what’s the reasoning I would assume you would want even heavier than that for salt water

[@simplefloridafishing]

Yes more line capacity which allows for longer casting, as long as your using your drag right you can catch very big fish over 30lbs on 10 and 15lb braid just make sure your always using a leader heavier then your braid so you don’t get frayed off

[@moisesramirez7898]

@@simplefloridafishing just picked up a Penn slammer 4 3500 for my first salt water setup went with 20lb braid been watching your videos a lot!

[@Commanders-prod-j6t]

hey man i just found you today and i love yourr vids but which vid id that shark eat your bait? its in your W intro

U mean the dolphin??😂

[@JonathanAKuhn]

Which knot do you use from braid to leader?

[@simplefloridafishing]

A uni-uni knot

[@Ripping_lipstv]

One of this days I’ll get a tarpon

[@Itll_do_food_forest]

You said you would count him, but you didn’t catch that fish!

[@deanhenderson5090]

when tarpon jump don't put so much tension on the line....

[@F.B.I.0]

[@Snookwisperer]

You and I fish the same.

[@fatherdowling1]

Why don't you carry a net with you?

[@simplefloridafishing]

I need to get a drop net but that’s also pretty big to lug around when your on the move fishing with lures

[@CJ_Saluga]

You don’t wanna net tarpon, they thrash around and tear themselves up. Way worse than leaving a hook in its mouth.

[@Lilmat9023]

what reel is that

[@simplefloridafishing]

@@Lilmat9023 setups are in the video description

[@HoldenHuels]

[@NickedLips]

Great video brother! You’re underrated as hell! Been trying to send folks your way on TikTok! I fish basically all the same spots you fish! Lmk if you’re ever down to fish brother! 👏🦾 Keep the hustle up!

[@FishingFanatik]

Bro I don't understand it, why do people fish where they can't even get the fish up out of the water. It makes no sence to me.

[@simplefloridafishing]

Yah I don’t understand either thought the water was higher and I could get down that’s why I lost it

[@vincentaldecocea3469]
