Inshore Fishing Lures For Windy Days! | Flats Class YouTube

[@brianjones3584]

That Rolex to match that rod! haha platinum baby!

[@woodystemms3799]

Fish on the line brighten an ugly day ... every time. When the wind isn't at your back, a few lures cast into, or quartering into, the wind. Kastmaster spoons and Goofy Jigs are among them.

Thanks C. a. for these great tips in windy conditions.

👍🏼

[@brianhammer-ul2zu]

Good to see these new Florida based sponsors

[@paulhouston1865]

I can't imagine how you don't already have 500k followers. I've learned more from your videos on inshore fishing than I have on any other platform in any other field or subject. Wonderfully done CA!

[@flatsclasscharters]

Appreciate the support Paul

[@kpocala1061]

Audio was just fine for all that wind.

[@Lees920]

You can't argue with success. You're wacking a few fish. But I'll go with some of your favorite MirrOlures. I'll take a 5M18 or 5M21. Leave both props on the lure. Give the rear prop more pitch. If the water is flat, the 94MR18 is my go-to. I don't get much flash from lures on overcast days but the 5M with props churn up the water and really scream at the fish to EAT ME! Same with the Top Dog (94MR) . Good advice for breezy days, C.A. 👌👍

[@flatsclasscharters]

Great share thank you!

[@Quazo594]

Love these new types of videos your doing. Absolutely appreciate it. Thanks man.

[@flatsclasscharters]

I will make an effort to keep them coming my friend

[@FidsArt]

Great stuff! Spoons saved us out of ozello this weekend

[@nickcaldarelli3609]

Awesome video as always CA.

[@AliexFolgueira]

went fishing 4 times last week, biggest fish was a big ladyfish the rest were under 12 inches lol....there was a cold front here, something was way off.

[@FrankLadd]

Great suggestions! Thanks! While not a redfish magic type spinning lure? I have a good luck with them on windy overcast days,

[@ReelinTension]

Liking this style video. Good job capt

[@flatsclasscharters]

We will do more!

[@Dink_master_fishing]

Diamond 8x is my favorite braid. It casts a mile and I’ve never had a wind knot using it

[@flatsclasscharters]

It’s a beautifully built limp braid that gives anglers problem free handling and superior distance on the cast… appreciate your input

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I love the measuring tape on the deck, it's a good idea to see if they're close. I have been using a seamstress tape that rolls up in a little roll and fits in a little section of a tackle tray. But I want a bump board like my fish tagging buddies have because there's no arguing about the length. The soft tape is better than nothing but it's hard to measure a redfish with it. On another note I think you've got me talked into trying purple lures. I got some copper and gold paddle tails with rattles in the tail and the silver/white version of the same thing. Tailknocker is the name I think. You should definitely try them. The rattles are nice and the action is pretty nice.

[@Lees920]

I use those seamstress tapes in the summer when I'm tarpon fishing. I have had them as long as 8 feet, and I can wet the tape and lay it on the gunnel for redfish or easily put it at a tarpon's lip and let it stretch out along the tarpon's body to get a quick length when the boat in gear, and then wrap the girth because it's completely flexible. Wetting the tape usually makes it kind of stick to the gunnel when it's breezy so it doesn't blow off the boat.

[@jensendesguin490]

Can you do a video of you rigging up the new mullet please

[@flatsclasscharters]

We can do one on that Mullettron from Zman

[@RobVanDam1591]

It's not out yet

[@TCampbell1990]

For the longest time, a paddle tail has been my go to. I’ve caught tons of fish on them. But I feel like I catch more fish, redfish in particular on plugs. Everything I use, is something I can cover lots of water with. Unless I’m sight fishing. I know there are fish in the areas I’m fishing. Is there anything I can do with the paddle tail to help get bit more? Maybe slow it down a little bit? Or just keep covering water

[@flatsclasscharters]

Vary retrieves or making contact with the bottom always seems to get fish enticed with the paddle tail lures

[@roryscott7530]

Hey buddy from the Cayman Islands Cayman brac.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Always good to hear from you old friend… 🥃

[@henryschmidt636]

How are you storing your Mulletron LT's Captain? Do the Buzbe's handle Elaztech? Or are you keeping them in the original plastic?

[@flatsclasscharters]

Yea the Buzbe Tackle Storage boxes are Elaztech friendly 👍🏼

[@auggyboy284]

What size Aqua Dream spoons do you use and what size swivels?

[@flatsclasscharters]

1/4oz Spoon and typically a 40-60# swivel its just whatever brand you are loyal too

[@teetimeaz]

What do you think about 5-6 in glide baits?

[@flatsclasscharters]

I like where you are going with this… I am working on something like this for a video soon

[@lmb25315]

Hey, Captain CA! I ended up picking up two Curado DC 150s and paired them with a 7ft and a 7.5ft incite MH rod. I absolutely love the setup! That being said, I want to get another pair that works better for casting those lighter lures, like a 1/8 oz or 1/6 oz (such as the texas eyed finesse) with a small paddle tail. I can't find much info on using the dc 150 with a medium or medium light rod, but what I have found seems like it's not the best reel for lighter lures. With loving the dc 150 so much, is there a similar shimano dc reel that would be better when paired with a medium light action rod for those lighter lures? Also, what action tip should I be looking for? Thanks!

[@flatsclasscharters]

The Shimano DC reels are a little more of a challenge with lighter lures… you could swing them on a 7’ medium/moderate fast rod and 20lb braid and have some success. But you’ll be better off with a Shimano Curado 70 or Chronarch in my opinion with 20lb braid

[@lmb25315]

@flatsclasscharters thank you for the recommendation. I did have a 10lb braid on those curado DC 150s and kept getting some bad wind knots and some very small bird nests that were extremely difficult to get out. I upgraded to 30lb power pro on them, and there are no issues at all now. With your recommendation of downsizing to 20lb braid on one of those reels, is 20lb still thick enough to where it is much more manageable to pull out than 10lb?

[@olivergrigull5647]

Are you no longer with Shimano?

[@Jetty.bum7]

He is using the Shimano twin power xd

[@flatsclasscharters]

Just working with them in a lesser role as of now… just reels as far as budgets go

[@jeffspencer4317]

What type of areas/structure/bottoms are you targeting on windy days?

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@flatsclasscharters very tough year for fishing! MLF is cutting back, sponsors are cutting back, heck people arent even watching KZbin Fishing as they used to.

[@olivergrigull5647]

@@flatsclasscharters awesome, love your show and feel like your a class act that does a great job representing all your sponsors.
