My new FAVORITE Place to Fish on Sanibel - Insane Top Water Action

[@mikemaynard2044]

5 second break very good idea...Move your second rod to the other side of kayak to free up your backcast helps me

[@GTFOutside]

Man, I just needed a breather. That fish came out of no where and the video doesn't do it justice, really doesn't show how close he was.

[@joshuanattinger9694]

Love Sanibel. Tarpon bay, Ding Darling, Bowman's. It's all great.

[@GTFOutside]

I agree man. There’s not a bad place to visit or fish. We try to go every year.

[@ArcherFish]

great reds on Top! fun. I fish there often.

[@GTFOutside]

Thanks my man! We stumbled on the spot while we were on vacation and I’m glad we did.

[@alexgillian5276]

Thanks for the great video very informative, very entertaining!

[@GTFOutside]

Thank you. That means a lot!

[@jayjohnson9668]

Sometimes the mangroves and that shallow water can be tough in Sanibel. Either ya gotta tough it out back there or move on out to some deeper water and see if that changes things up. You cant always get em in that shallow water. Try around the causeway bridge when things get rough!😎

[@GTFOutside]

Awesome man! Yeah I’ve never had a tough time out there as far as finding the fish. Just with finding some where to fish that every one isn’t fishing.

[@klamont9]

Great video. Just got back from our annual vaca to Sanibel. My wife is cool and lets me fish while they shell. Caught Snook, sea trout, redfish, spanish mackerel, Jack, lady fish, whiting, & catfish. Had a blast.

[@GTFOutside]

That’s awesome brother. Yeah man I do about the same thing. It’s one of my favorite places to fish in Florida.

[@klamont9]

@@GTFOutside love it there. I wish I lived closer 😕

[@GTFOutside]

@@klamont9 bro you’re telling me. We’re down in late august of every year and I literally count the days.

[@klamont9]

@@GTFOutside I’ve never been in the summer. I’m guessing it’s HOT

[@GTFOutside]

@@klamont9 it is man but the bite is so good morning and evening. That warmer weather has those fish really active in the summer, I don’t mind the heat at all but 10 hours in 90 plus degrees does eventually wear on me.

[@tonyelmore2167]

Nice redfish! Where is the kayak launch at Bowmans? How far is the parking from the launch?

[@GTFOutside]

Thanks man! It’s actually in the parking lot, if you follow the road back to the second lot back it’s got a path that goes back to the launch.

[@tonyelmore2167]

@@GTFOutside OK great thanks. I normally put in at Castaways and fish further north of there. Great drone work.

[@GTFOutside]

@@tonyelmore2167 thanks again brother. I’ve fished here and Ding Darling from the yak. I’d like to get around a little more when I’m back down for sure.

[@FaithNFishing]

Nice job out there! Was out there for a weekend last year and was thinking I had to take the kayak back sometime!

[@GTFOutside]

Sanibel is just an island full off fish. I NEED to go back asap lol.

[@FaithNFishing]

@@GTFOutside nice! Let me know when and if you need a buddies out there!

[@GTFOutside]

@@FaithNFishing for sure man. I’m always in and around Tampa so just give me a shout if you want to go out up here too.

[@hectoreburgos]

Gonna have to take the yak down south. Looks like it was a fun day on the water. Tight lines. 🤙🏼

[@GTFOutside]

Thanks my man!

[@shallowwaterguy4755]

Great video man! Isn’t topwater the best! Love the drone shots! What drone do you use?

[@GTFOutside]

Bro nothing beats watching it get eaten. Feel like a kid on Christmas every time. Lol.

[@GTFOutside]

Also, the drone is a Mavic air 2. It’s an awesome drone and very durable. I’ve crashed it more times than I like to admit.

[@justinj5665]

How much did that Hobie run you? I’ve always been interested in buying something similar used to save some money lol

[@GTFOutside]

To be honest I got a steal. I bought it used for 1700 which is still expensive for a kayak but it’s super worth it. You can find some of the older outbacks on Craigslist and FB marketplace for 500 sometimes, I set up an alert that went to my phone when someone posted it so I’d be first when the one I wanted came up. They’re expensive as crap but totally worth it in my opinion.

[@justinj5665]

@@GTFOutside I have an older 12.5’ Hobie Quest paddle kayak but I haven’t had the chances to go nor a consistent method of transporting it I gotta make it happen or sell it and save up for something like a pedal drive

[@GTFOutside]

@@justinj5665 I gotcha my dude, well if you ever want someone to fish with shoot me a message on IG and we can go out.

[@justinj5665]

@@GTFOutside for sure man! I’ll add you now, I’m an hour north of Tampa so very far but me and one of my best friends make trips down to Fort Myers and Sanibel every once and a while too If you want to fish Tampa bay sometime Lmk I have some decent spots, Shoot me a DM once I add you

[@kevinogara2138]

Look at the hoodoo kayak. Worth the money..

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

well this might have not aged well... is the spot still there?

[@GTFOutside]

I know man. It’s a lot more sandy from what I’ve seen back there and a lot of those houses took a lot of damage.

[@2302rcks]

You should check out ding darling!

[@GTFOutside]

I did! We caught a few reds and some snook when we were down there and spent a longgggg time trying to get some tarpon to eat.

[@xcelprinting8749]

What Kayak is that?

[@GTFOutside]

Hobie PA14

[@wegottafishdude]

It’s terrible to be on Sanibel Island and have chocolate milk water that water should be nice crystal clear and green blue thanks department of engineering release in the waters on the lake Okeechobee for us it’s great🤬

[@GTFOutside]

I know man. I’ve gone every year since I was a kid and it’s gotten so much worse.
