Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report 6-15-2024

[@mikemcgovern8719]

Thanks for the video Jeff. I’ve got to tell you about the one I caught on Friday. I turned and noticed a big red virtually right next to the boat. I couldn’t believe he hadn’t spooked yet. I dropped the paddle tail straight over the side he immediately took it and raced off like a freight train. I eventually caught and released him, 29”. I’ve never seen anything like that in the ML before, it was classic Louisiana sight fishing.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I too sometimes can't believe those up close hook ups I get, when most of the time you can't get within 30 feet of a redfish without them spooking.

You are living my dream 😊

Remember, nightmares are dreams too. LOL, thank you though!

Looks like a good time and real good wind conditions. I haven’t been over in a while, bluegill are doing too well for me. Hope to get over soon and see how the south side is doing.

[@JeffHammerFishing]

Bluegill fishing is still fishing! It's all good and at least you're getting out there.

Nice video Jeff. I’m getting into fishing and would like to know what rod and reel u we’re running. i recently just got myself a uglystik gx2 7 foot medium heavy and was wondering if I should get a medium or a light rod for mangrove fishing. Also what line awesome video btw I watch them all

[@JeffHammerFishing]

Thank you! I generally stick with medium or medium light rods, and all of them you see in my saltwater videos are from Falcon Rods. No affiliation, I just like their coastal XG and HD rods. As for line, Windtamer or Power Pro Super Slick is what I use.

How well is that fresh water trolling motor holding up in the salt water?

[@JeffHammerFishing]

I actually talk about that in a trolling motor tip video I posted yesterday. Typically, 2-3 years, but most of the time they aren't actually dead at that point, I just retire them because they start getting noisy or have some other problem.

Hi Jeff would you share with me what you use for your audio? Thank you
