[@bigk3381]

Oh crud... I hit you on IG thru DM bout the Micro. No idea how that got here. Ok as for Marsh Fishing: Mike "YOU NEVER FAIL TO IMPRESS".! I'm 58yo and I started fishing Galveston waters at the age of 14 and I Do Not know it all and I'm Always open to learning something new or refreshing my memory. Also I applaud you for freely offering your knowledge, what a sportsman. 👏 Have a Merry Christmas, a Safe New Year and as always... Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya in 2021🎣

[@TexasFishingForce]

Did you also message me on Facebook? Or email? I swear I got this same question a few days ago. May have been someone else. Personally, I love the power pole. Best investment I made for the kayak. Truly awesome and even better customer service. Had an issue with my power pole and they replaced within a few days with no questions asked. I love it!

[@stacycat33]

Thank you! I have always enjoyed learning from you! Great tips and tricks! Enjoy watching people fish but yes that's not the main reason im watching to see someone hook up its more about learning to be a better angler myself! Still enjoy seeing your catches bro! Thank you for quality content!🤙

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thanks for all the support! I definitely appreciate it! Happy Holidays!

[@ercllanes]

Just got my first kayak this past week and this video came out just in time for when I put it in the water this weekend. Great content as always.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Holidays!

[@Rggrimes16]

I commend you for helping us new kayakers trying to learn the art of marsh fishing. Thank you, I truly enjoy your videos and have learned a lot watching you!!!!

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you so much for watching and thank you for the support.

[@doomguy584]

​@@TexasFishingForceI never get tired of watching people catch fish I also enjoy commentary

[@charlesgurnea2004]

When u fish your areas tell us were to help other anglers were are some good spots

[@janiceladd2555]

Thanks Mike. I agree with your assessment about fishing videos - personally, I am here to learn. Appreciate the content and the great tips. Merry Christmas

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you, I’ll definitely be doing more info in the new year.

[@geodude6244]

Marsh is a dangerous place

[@dwaynef5410]

Question: I’m a 6’ tall man and I want to get into kayak fishing. I want a pedal powered kayak that I can also put a trolling motor on. What’s the best length and model Kayak? Thanks

[@TexasFishingForce]

Id suggest going and demoing a few. There are quite a few made for taller people but it all comes down to how it feels for you.

[@RonMTube]

Agreed, it's about learning and information. Too many "look what I caught" videos out there. Show me how not what.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you! Perfect explanation. Thanks for watching!

[@aaronb12311]

Mike......your the man....haahaa..keeping it real. Preciate your videos regardless of how "boring"....

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you man! Merry Christmas!

[@aaronb12311]

Merry Christmas buddy

[@123nataliemay]

The view of the marsh from your kayak is so beautiful.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you!

[@mrgoogan]

Yee Yee

[@mikeodell5915]

Boom

[@AntonioSanchez-zs2ep]

Nice video got another subscriber 👍🏾

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@brandonbonnell3691]

Are you still using any Cajun Custom Rods?

[@TexasFishingForce]

I’m not, I’ve switched completely to Laguna rods.

[@angelcespedes8261]

Awesome kayak and fishing tips Love watching fishing video’s always something we can learn ✅ 💯 🔥 🎣

[@fishingtexassometimes]

the very first time i went ever went marsh fishing was near rollover pass i was bumping into oyster like crazy and was still catching reds within 20 feet ofwhere i bumped. fishing gods gave me a beginners pass i guess

[@bloodOntheStep]

I’m debating on just throwing lures out the window when I pass by body’s of water and just saying I fished them

[@charlesgurnea2004]

What rod and reel set up were u using

[@TexasFishingForce]

I use Laguna L or ML with a Shimano DC reel.

[@kegancampbell5126]

Guess I need to dust the yak off and get it ready for future trips and the up coming tourney season.

[@peteperez1555]

Can you do a video or two about how to get into fishing tournaments. the more info the better 👍

[@TexasFishingForce]

I can probably do that this next year.

[@kegancampbell5126]

Getting into the tournament scene can be extremely nerve racking but don’t let it stop you. Go at it like it’s another day of fishing and success will come. Expect to lose some money but gain a lot of experience and friends. Best words of advice I got when I started was jump in with both feet, fight your way to the top and expect beatings as you go. Good luck!

[@judyshats6912]

Very Good Video

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you!

[@patdechape7567]

Great tips

[@TexasFishingForce]

Glad you like them!

[@jerry-381]

I agree with ya on getting boring. I find myself turning off a video sometimes 1/3 of the way through it because it's the same thing over and over. I think it might be cool to see you catch a fish then you jump in the video from your studio and take 30 seconds or a minute to explain what was going on prior to you making a cast that caught that fish. Maybe give a little insight. Or just doing a voice over during the video explaining that info would also be helpful. Just something to change it up a little. It'd be a lot more work/editing I'm sure but might be worth it.

[@TexasFishingForce]

That’s exactly my thoughts and plan for 2021, thanks for the support!

[@jasontheveinguy7222]

Watched about 12 kayak fishing video. This one was the best. Very helpful

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you so much!

[@edcpreacher]

Hope I can remember these things when it gets warmer!

[@NestorJH]

Great new approach, but your old videos are not bad man, maybe they needed more comentary , but that’s about it , great content though. Tip on a new topic maybe, tip for paddle kayak fishing if you have any, would be greatly appreciated.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you, I’ll definitely try and spice things up in the new year.

[@johnhouston3312]

Great plan for information videos; I clicked notifications on for the first time on KZbin when I heard you say it. This summer I started wade fishing at Galveston Island State Park and at the end of Amigo Road near Surfside, yet just ordered a Kayak last week and ready to roll the marshes. You like those two places when you Kayak? I heard the marches around Bayou Vista are good also and shorter drive for me, is that an area you like? Thank you!

[@TexasFishingForce]

I don’t fish galveston state park much from the kayak but amigo ln is great from a kayak to run through Churchill and cold pass.

[@zaidencollin4830]

Very nice 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

[@jlinemanjg]

Great video, I'm thinking of getting into kayak fishing and want to learn from people as opposed to watching people fish... I appreciate it.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@craigfitzgerald9685]

Appreciate the “reformat”. Good stuff! Looking forward to more, even if just reinforcing what I currently do. Maybe run into you sometime in the area.

[@TexasFishingForce]

I hope so man, and thanks for the support!

[@franciscoasalazar]

Thank you for this video. Do you offer any guide services or recommendations for areas you fish? I'm new to the Galveston Bay area and new to kayak fishing.

[@TexasFishingForce]

I fish Galveston and Freeport mostly from the kayak. I could definitely list locations but honestly your best bet is to pick up a hot spots kayak and wading map. Way more information there than I could give you in a reply here. Worth it. I’ve learned a ton of spots from those maps.

[@dropshotscott4762]

+1 on all the comments. Appreciate the teaching aspect of videos and looking forward to seeing more like this one! Thanks!

[@TexasFishingForce]

Great! Glad to see so many people are into that idea. Thanks for the support.

[@CaptCalebTV]

Sounds like a plan to me!

[@TexasFishingForce]

Definitely! Hope to do this through 2021.

[@calvinclick670]

My cousin would fold up shop and move locations if someone would drop the cooler lid.

[@TexasFishingForce]

lol, smart man.

[@lemussss2011]

I’m new in kayak I used one time I wanna learn about in kayak is paddle kayak

[@TexasFishingForce]

I think I can definitely help with that.

[@Erick-zw2os]

Great tips mike, happy holidays!! 🤙🏼

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you, Happy Holidays!

[@joegonzales3682]

I agree with your conclusion and analysis of what people are coming to KZbin for inshore fishing advice . I look forward to your new approach. I think you and capt caleb are the best in the Houston area. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service.

[@TexasFishingForce]

Thank you! I really appreciate the support and kind words!

[@CaptCalebTV]

Thanks Joe! I consider Mike one of my best friends and definitely enjoy his channel. It’s very cool to be grouped with someone, such as him!

[@sik304s]

Tips and tricks vids are always useful tools.

[@TexasFishingForce]

I agree, we’ll be doing more in 2021

[@TheGreenKnight70]

Mike been watching you since the beginning and I learn something from all your vids even the old ones. I never understood why revealing location is soooo taboo. It would be incredibly helpful if I knew if I was wasting time before driving all the way to Freeport or chocolate or sweetwater or ect

[@TexasFishingForce]

You’ve definitely been here since the start and I absolutely appreciate it. Thank you so much. The location topic for me is just about respecting the guys that work hard to learn those specific areas. Any spot is good or bad on the right days. The guys that grind out an area learn those good and bad days so out of respect, I don’t share that info publicly. So instead, I try and teach people what I know about picking the right locations on any day. If you have questions though, don’t hesitate to send me a message about a specific location and I’ll help any way I can.

[@kennylove188]

Kccacio, "Spots to Fish" are just spots on some map (like TopSpots) that MIGHT hold fish UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS, but NOT always. 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. So, IT'S ALL ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS at any given Spot. Do you see any signs of small baitfish {mullet, minnows, shrimp, crabs, etc) to attract the larger Preditor fish? Season/water temperature? Wind direction? Tidal flow carrying bait?

[@Z71X4]

If I may ask where do you go marsh fishing? I'm from south texas and am very limited on marsh fishing from port mansfield and spi. Wish we had as many as you show in your videos!

[@TexasFishingForce]

I hit the marshes from Texas/Louisiana border all the way down to Matagorda. Tons of options here. I’ve fished further south but unfortunately you guys don’t has as many marsh systems as we have up north.

[@Z71X4]

@@TexasFishingForce that's good to know thank you! Also your marsh fishing videos aren't boring. My type of style just wish I was able to do it more. 🥲

[@MrSkarkej]
