New PB at Packery Channel on the Fish Pro Trophy

[@eldeRobe]

I just found your channel. Great video. Your running commentary is smooth and calm and your editing skills keep our attention. I fish this spot with my kayak and from shore. I can usually catch mullet, shad and pin fish for bait with my cast nest. The current is usually very swift but looked OK when you filmed this content. I've been fishing the jetties lately but your video has inspired me to return to this spot. Thank you for sharing.

Just subscribed New viewer 😁😁😁 What are your thoughts on the fish pro trophy?

[@texaspwcfishing6676]

Hello and thank you for watching. I really like the Trophy, been an absolute joy to fish from. I had a couple of minor issues after purchasing that dealt with the computer but once those were figured out it hasn’t missed a beat. Thanks again and good luck.

Great video and congratulations on your PB. I'm seriously considering getting a Fish Pro for fishing in the UK and will be taking the RYA PWC certificate on Monday. I have some questions...I see that you're not using the big cooler box as either a live-well nor for your catch. Any particular reason? How often do you use the anchor? Would you recommend the Trophy over the other Fish Pro's for any reason? Last question, I'm 250 lbs, am I going to be too heavy? Liked and subscribed! Thanks and all the best from Eastbourne, England.

Hello and thanks for watching. Lots of great questions, I’ll do what I can to answer them for you. I have used the live well feature in the past but I’ve found it is really hard on bait. With all of the bouncing around, sloshing side to side, the bait really takes a beating. Also, I usually use the cooler as a cooler, I’ll put drinks and food in there so I don’t want to stick my catch on top of those. I use the bag for bait and anything I might catch simply to stop cross contamination. As for which Fish Pro to purchase, I really can’t think of any good reason to choose any particular model. I went with the trophy because I wanted all of the extra features it comes with. I like the live well feature idea, just needs to be perfected. The pedestal seat is great in calm weather or on a lake. I will sometimes listen to music and the audio system is great. I also like the speed control features for trolling and running for long distances such as going off shore. I can set a top speed and I don’t have to worry about trying to manipulate the throttle to keep it. Just set my top speed and pull full throttle, won’t exceed what I set. I am right at the 300 mark and I am comfortable riding the ski, no issues with anything. So you should be just fine. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Thanks for your reply and the answers to my questions. I also like the extra features of the Trophy, but I've seen a 2020 Fish Pro for about half the price and I'm thinking it would be more than adequate for me to start off with. I don't see many anglers using these skis here in the uk but it seems like a good alternative to a more costly boat.

45 feet deep??? I had no idea that channel was that deep

[@texaspwcfishing6676]

Hello and thank you for watching. That 45’ depth is only a very small area in the middle, just under the bridge center is between 6-7’ then it goes to around 20-30’ in some areas. It is very sporadic all over, I was surprised and how inconsistent it really is. I have been finding the fish between 20’ and 10’ areas. This past time I was using live menhaden and I saw people using live shrimp. Good luck.

@@texaspwcfishing6676 yeah i talked to a coworker today that confirmed that, he said there is a big hole just next to the bridge... that explains the big drum etc that come out of there
