This man is so underrated, I’ve never seen him not slam the fish, even when he is just messing around with new lures. Keep it up man, you’ll definitely make it big👍

only a fisherman can respect another fisherman that is more proud of himself for what they can do with a mere 3 inches then those working with a 6 inch.

More Rackham videos please! I’m picking up a used one at the end of the month and may start to get into fishing in SWFL

[@grantwilson4985]

What I do when the fish get spooked too much in shallow water like that is put a little towel at my feet so that I can lay my paddle down without making a sound👍

[@justin_menendez]

yes thats a great idea!

[@patrickedmondson4080]

They make somewhat quiet paddle holders you can mount to your cooler helping keep it out of the way.

[@rogerbarrios8614]

Great views of slamming fish !!!! Are you fishing around Melbourne? I went to college down there…FIT. I bet things have changed a little since 1973. Fishing was great. Thanks for the video.

[@jerryzito6840]

Justin, I follow all your videos. You provide an abundance of what all fisherman love. Top water strikes. Very exciting. I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but who do I have to know to get murder mullets LOL!! They always seem to be sold out, or nor being dropped at the time.

[@TEPSABLE]

Nice Justine, the thing that caught my attention with this video is the almighty verge camo. My verge is the 14 footer. I haven't used it for fishing yet but that's coming soon, it has e entertained the kids a little here and there but my major goal is to baptize it with a fish. You asked about the sun chips, if you wanna try something better, try some salsitas.

[@Jschuhfishing]

Way to break 30k bro! Congrats

[@dirtyharry7616]

gotta love the sickness that mini mullet is money nice hat trick hard to get these days

[@meerkatrumble2126]

Hey man, you should tie a rope with a loop around your waist for the paddle, and that way you can paddle with one hand and don’t have to set it all the way down. Salt strong has a video on it and it’s really helped me fishing on my board and not spooking fish

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up

[@kateskrmetta2022]

Harvest cheddar or original sun chips and sun chips are by farrr my favorite kind of chips

[@docfishingsrq]

Awesome day! Have you tried to use the paddle slot at the front of the Bote? I may be a little quieter to slide it in as opposed to placing it on the deck.

[@justin_menendez]

It’s not really ideal for fishing and stuff because it’ll be in the way of casting. It’s good if you just need somewhere to stow the paddle.

[@corbinwalker1308]

when are you coming to the West coast we need to sight fish some big reds and snook.

[@fishology9467]

Vid was 🔥🔥, keep up the amazing content

[@justin_menendez]

absolutely!

[@alexanderren1097]

I know I'm late to the party but in answer to your question about black drum, yes you're correct. It's primarily for mating, females are attracted to the biggest and loudest drummers while smaller males will keep their distance. A secondary reason is to attempt to startle and scare away predators, hence why he drummed at you when you put him on the paddleboard.

[@bhig959]

Looking into that mlbn mullet

[@dapoutdoors4912]

what line should i use for dock/mangrove fishing and leader?

[@W0rstplayerNA]

Loved the video! Would you consider making a video going over tides, and how they effect fishing? I previously lived in nebraska, and moved down to Florida. Being inland, obviously not at all familiar with tides. Looking to pick up a kayak in the next few months, but just not sure how to plan out my day based off tides... would be a great video to see!

[@justin_menendez]

for the most part the tides don't affect the areas I fish. Depends on what part of Florida you want to fish.

[@W0rstplayerNA]

@@justin_menendez ahh gotcha! I just assumed anywhere coastal the tides would play a huge factor with the fishing haha, I'm up near Tampa myself So mainly fishing stuff in and around the bay. Lots of intercoastal creeks and Rivers and stuff around here, I assume best time is going to be when the tide is high and the water is moving

[@mark-7362]

@@justin_menendez can u elaborate on that please? I always thought u are looking for moving water on the flats

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

Justin where were U fishing at? Looks familiar to me. Good videos man!!

[@fantomphoenix6170]

I recommend looking into a rod holder you wear on your belt, so you can keep it on you. Just rest the blade of the paddle on the board and yourself then you can grab your rock without major movements. Hopefully spooking less fish.

[@randy-pf5du]

Also most button up fishing shirts have the loop for holding rods

[@justin_menendez]

Not really, for the most part they keep their distance.

[@macdragonjr]

@@justin_menendez I guess your right cuz most times they will probably move away once they see you coming unless the feel threatened or are feeding or nesting. Cuz most of my encounters they have always fled or just moved and observed from a distance. But I always try to keep a look out and be cautious just in case. So I think it was a good move to just turn back lol.

[@andrewthomas405]

Hello Justine I had to turn your vid off for a few moments to reflect just how poor the fishing is in the uk compared to the states , I’m fully aware that fishing days are not always like this but outs never are like this Fair play Justine you know your style of fishing and make the most of it Any pointers you could give me for a two / three week trip to Florida would be helpful . Travelling that far with limited time restricts the learning curve so any pointers would help or any americain cousins out there with info it would be greatly appreciated kind regards Andy Thomas fishing nut from UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✌️
