[@raymondescobar1702]

Wow all them 100 dollar bills in ur little zipper. 😂😂😂

[@tonychristianson7866]

I was out there last week. Birds were crushing shrimp. All dink trout.

[@MDLRFishing]

It happens 👍

[@cowpounder57]

What brand, style, & size of hook were you using? The same for all of the lures?

[@MDLRFishing]

Think they’re called Z-Man Nedlockz 1/10 oz. They’re listed in my video description.

[@joelleal8897]

Mark if you had one rod and reel which would you get ? I Wanna go buy my first pole and reel

[@MDLRFishing]

It depends on what style of fishing I’ll be doing. From the bank like this video, I’d definitely go with the setup I’m using.

[@br549times3]

I was in Galveston this past weekend. Saw this video Sunday night. Tried the same place Monday morning. No dice. I think you were trying it with rising tide?

[@MDLRFishing]

At the start of an outgoing tide.

[@ismaelchavez6433]

You should do a video with fishing with the subscribers

[@MDLRFishing]

👍

[@rosendomireles6720]

I thought weather was bad out there to go fishing 😮idk why

[@barrettcrooks4807]

Was thinking the Slicks were Trout

[@MDLRFishing]

Me too, especially since I knew they were in the area a few days before.

[@venomthegamer3422]

Where do you buy your bites? And what brand you choose?

[@MDLRFishing]

Not sure what you’re asking.

[@caseysimpson525]

Hey ive been watching your sons channel and seen where he caught a PB black drum with you in Bolivar. I just moved here and doing some scouting for wade fishing. Maybe you can hint to me where it is. I have an idea of where it may be. If i wemt there would the word "broken" seem familiar?

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes, Broken Bridge 👍

[@grupoinztinkto]

Went out Friday by the deeper end limited on trout and something snapped my line, on live shrimp and popping cork. Didn’t even get a chance to set hook. I couldn’t sleep at night thinking of the miss

[@MDLRFishing]

Gosh I know the feeling.

[@dexterprather7214]

Try using z man swim bait they last alot longer

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@MyJason444]

to much money on that rod yeah can you do a video on a good rod and reel that a regular joe can buy .. Thanks again like all your videos they teach us well

[@MinhNguyen-v2t]

I would like to help you catch more at low tides

[@raymondescobar1702]

Need to keep a hat on brother🎩

[@MDLRFishing]

Always!

[@nozrep]

i was arguing with my dad the other day about whether or not it is possible to wade the channel side of the south jetty in northeast Galveston. Which I think is this spot. And I have not been to that spot in a long time so I couldn’t remember. Dad was was saying it is just as dangerous as San Luis because of the ship channel drop off and I was arguing nah no it’s not you can wade because the channel does not drop off immediately and, as one can see in this video the ships are like a mile away. So though I haven’t been back yet I am also asking Mr. MDLR or anyone else if they think it is dangerous to wade there? I mean, I wouldn’t be walking out past belly button depth of water anyways. And I saw one of the older MDLR videos from a couple years ago wading here or wading east beach maybe close to the jetty that I had searched up. But I could not gleen if he was wading channel side or beach side from that video which was maybe from a couple years ago.

[@MDLRFishing]

I do wade the base of the South Jetty during the flounder run. It’s on the channel side but there’s a big sand bar that protects the area that everyone wades.

[@nozrep]

@@MDLRFishingah! thanks! This was exactly what I was thinking but I could not precisely remember.

[@zslemp]

how do you like that sling bag?

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made.

[@zslemp]

@@MDLRFishing been looking for one and that bag looks like it checks a lot of boxes for what I want. Thanks for the info.

[@LarryBoyfishing]

I get stuck on rocks sometimes

[@MDLRFishing]

Me too 😂.

[@Umanflyumanfly]

On May 15th , A barge slammed into a bridge pillar in Galveston on Wednesday, spilling oil into surrounding waters and closing the only road to a smaller and separate island that is home to a university, officials said. There were no immediate reports of injuries, although officials said one person on the barge was knocked into the water and quickly rescued. Maybe , thats what your seeing ...Maybe

[@anthonygibson8132]

buddy you dont know what a trout slick is at all

[@fishcamptv]

Do you ever collab with other fishing youtubers, like using the go live together feature in the app? Like, I'm not asking if you will do it, I'm asking if you have anything against it in principle, collaborating with other channels who also do fishing. Anyway, great video! 🤠

[@MDLRFishing]

If a content creator I know is at the same location I’m at. I cordially greet them and quickly catch up on current happenings. Trying to collaborate is logistically awkward and aligning schedules is difficult.

[@fishcamptv]

@@MDLRFishing Logistically awkward... I feel that. Alot of places I try to stream from don't have great 4g/5G signal, so my stream kept stuttering... When it works its great, but I find it difficult to get livestream to work properly. For regular videos I think it would be even harder.

[@davidmillaud7594]

Question mark did I miss something what happened to your H shiff?

[@MDLRFishing]

I sold it after a few months. It’s not designed for our shallow water and oyster. There was no way to install a jack plate on it. And it couldn’t be push poled correctly no matter how hard you tried.

Can you shed some light on that belt and tackle your wearing?

Simms sling pack.

[@garyhogan7881]

How in the world do tell male from female??

[@smileylozano4912]

Male trout make a grunting noise or croak compared to the females

[@garyhogan7881]

@@smileylozano4912 oh wow, didn’t know that. Thanks!

[@MDLRFishing]

The males usually croak.

[@soysaucin]

How come u can jig with a medium heavy rod aren’t u suppose to use a medium light rod for light lures

[@JoshuaHalter-b5v]

It’s better to use a light due to sensitivity, but in an area like that you need backbone to get them in. Goes to show you how good of a fisherman he is with a limit on a medium heavy with lures lol.

[@MDLRFishing]

This rod is designed to use lures when fishing the rocks. It truly is amazing.

[@soysaucin]

So a medium heavy rod can be designed to throw 1/8oz or smaller lures without sacrificing casting distance or sensitivity?

[@MDLRFishing]

@@soysaucin any rod can be used to do whatever the user wants to do with it. If it works, how can it be wrong. Stick around and watch the videos as I drop them. I’m sure all your questions will be answered as you watch.

[@old18]

Great Video Mark.

[@donniewarren8544]

Unfortunately most every trout that gets thrown back actually dies. Texas needs to do away with size limits & say maybe keep 5 of whatever size you catch & you're done for the day.

[@seanbrennan2677]

That’s such unbelievable BS. Learn facts or learn to fish before saying crap like this

[@nozrep]

that’s definitely not true.

[@nozrep]

furthermore, the size limit is specifically and indisputably because the trout do no spawn until they reach a length of 10-12 inches. This is a well established and indisputable biological fact discovered by fisheries scientists over a hundred years ago. That’s why the minimum size is 15 inches to make sure they get several spawning cycles.
