(S1 Ep23) Kayak fishing the Galveston North Jetty, Texas Gulf Coast

[@joeanthony9162]

MDLR, dude, you are one of my favorites! Your videos are just an inspiration to me. Keep it up and tight lines never stop!

[@2299jsimon]

Back in the 60's, I used fish the lighthouse jetty. Monster reds and spec around the point, but hard to land because of the rocks. Used a 4" Rapala with an oz on the nose. Turquoise Mirror lures were bad ass too. The Mirror lures tended to attract the big jacks which got expensive.

[@juscatinround]

I work with the older guy on the boat. When I shared how you gave him a little fame he was happy to see you caught some good fish and remembered meeting you. Nice video

[@sg-mx4ii]

Whataburger for breakfast......breakfast of champions!

[@kenjepsen4579]

Hookspit great place and only a couple blocks from the house. Can't wait till I get a better yak and get out there with you!

[@freddyg1692]

Wow that was a huge trout! 👍🤙

[@russellfox8685]

Love your excitement level on a good trout. Nice catch.

[@lanecherry5692]

Love seeing the passion! Keep it up bro!

[@fernandotello3731]

GREAT VIDEO!! Love watching locals posting videos

[@robertgonzalez825]

Cracking up at all the different names you call the fish! "Jorge" made me LOL.

[@raquelcordova9072]

Lol......it’s 2a.m. And I saw you catch that trout woke my husband up. Look we have to go fishing there. Hubby is pissed because I woke him. Love your videos.

[@MDLRFishing]

😂 thanks for your support!

[@MaryK4242]

That was fun! What great day fishing! A 4 lb speck! Again, Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@MaryK4242]

I bet if you put a popping cork above that gulp it would have been non stop trout. I watch RedfishRoss also, he is down in Corpus, he slays Specks and Reds with popping cork.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try it soon.

[@bizcoachbiz]

A great day of fishing! Seems like all the trout were larger than average

[@MDLRFishing]

Thank you for watching, John.

[@rexrichards6789]

Glad you found a deal on the rod and reel and awesome trout!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks again!

[@nicolasyim2761]

Thanks for the great video and congrats on your PB.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks

[@larrymcmakin1153]

You got on some good fish. Thanks for sharing.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamesfranco2260]

enjoy your videos you do a very good job

[@clemgarciajr5194]

Great day been watching your channel for some time

[@MrCuervo22779]

It's like the fish knew that you weren't keeping them. Last couple of videos you got skunked. This one you were the Trout Slayer. Nice video. Subbed.

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

That shark was awesome great vid

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks!

[@eusebioreynero1672]

I just got back from purchasing Shimano Calcutta! Can’t wait to use it.

[@retnav92]

Congrats on the catch. Being ret'd, I also steer clear of the weekend kayak fishing, and do it during the week....while others are at work :) . Usually only 2-3 people on the entire 400+ acre reservoir I fish.

[@MDLRFishing]

It's so great!

[@JoseMartinez-vw4re]

I would love to go fishing with you boss lol im just starting to learn little by little on how to fish like you guys, awesome videos 👏🏾👏🏾

[@petertinoco6506]

Keep up the great work!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for the support!

[@auddieoc]

dang, nice trout!!!!!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks!

[@wanderingspider8988]

Those little Blacktips are some of the best eating ever. Hell of a fight to, I did have one jump out and hit me in the side of the head on my kayak one time.

[@MDLRFishing]

😂 dang that’s crazy.

[@pamela8570]

Awesome day of fishing tight lines.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thank you!

[@kenwesterburg6196]

Every day is a good day.!!!!

[@ZYTHUM13]

Awesome vid!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks!

[@Fgalvezpool]

I subb, i really like your videos, gives me more motivation to go fishing, just like zoffinger, really cool, calm and motivational speakers, it doesnt get bored watching your videos.

[@MDLRFishing]

thanks Fernando! I appreciate your support.

[@emilio0247]

Great video bro!!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks!

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

Yee Haw - a NEW PB!!!! Hey if they have happen to have those Conquest in a 200 series.... ask if I can get it shipped! Reels are killing my budget since the break in. Anyways, My CONGRATS on the Godzilla sized Speckled Trout! Keep Having Fun! ~Tight Lines~

[@MDLRFishing]

They only had two 100s left and I bought both of them. It was such a great deal! I want to go back for another rod.

[@moblack5883]

Weird I’ve never seen this video. Of course I’m glued to the screen.

[@beware178]

Great video man. What size jig head you use brother?

[@urbanoutdoors8968]

I’ve been kayak fishing Galveston for a few months now and I would definitely like to go out with you some weekend for a Texas slam

[@MDLRFishing]

come spring time I want to do a meet up on the water with all my viewers in the southeast Texas area. I'll make a video discussing the details in a few months.

[@jpfishin66]

Yes please let me know when you do that, just bought my first kayak and need some tips and good places to fish!

[@mweber5459]

Ever had your fishing line caught in your rudder?

[@cueroslim4601]

Landed my personal best 44 inch black drum. I love Bolivar.

[@MDLRFishing]

That's a beast at 44", way to go man!!!

[@reggierobinson5934]

How deep is that water out there where you are fishing

[@pma5317]

Great video. You seriously need a net with a longer handle!! Lol

[@MDLRFishing]

Lol, I know right.

[@84mikester]

Hey man love the videos.. i fish often but its mostly wading.. love to catch up pick your brain and hell, maybe wet a line. hope to here from ya!

[@eugenediaz7191]

You know I teased at you in the video the whole time saying he's not going to catch it you're not going to catch it he's going to get away when you netted the fish I uttered the s word but with that fish you beat us congratulations on your PR keep on videoing cut cuz when you win we win

[@briarfox637]

Where do you launch to fish the jetty? I'd love to fish the channel side on a "smooth bay" day and the other side anytime.

[@MDLRFishing]

right by the jetty

[@briarfox637]

@@MDLRFishing What kind of conditions would say is good to go in?

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Very nice

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks!

[@damzeni1]

How does one get to the North Jetty and how much does the ferry ride cost

[@andrewaton5406]

The Ferry is free

[@davedodson5594]

what was your launch point? awesome video and great fishing! your PB was a monster!

[@MDLRFishing]

It's the public boat ramp off of 16th street.

[@BrandonHvlogs]

I’m going to be staying and fishing bayou vista area at the end of June. Got any suggestions?

[@MDLRFishing]

Fish pierce marsh if you’re in a kayak. If not, go to Seawolf Park; Galveston Island State Park; Galveston jetties or the Freeport jetties.

[@BrandonHvlogs]

MDLR Fishing got any bait and tackle suggestions?

[@MDLRFishing]

Reds will hit anything that moves. I personally like bumping Buggs Fishing Lures (curl tail buggs) off the bottom and swimming Hoggies swimming jacks along the bank.

[@nickmenor6847]

Can you tell me how you rig your lines? I don’t have much experience using artificials.

[@MDLRFishing]

For attaching my leaders I use a Uni to Uni or Blood knott. For tieing my lures on I use a Trilene knott.

[@nickmenor6847]

MDLR Fishing thank you I’m going to north jetty tomorrow! Love your videos!

[@Durian5413]

Nice!!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks

[@MrAthiestapostle]

Nice trolling motor

[@MDLRFishing]

It would be nice to have one at times.

[@MrAthiestapostle]

MDLR Fishing agreed talk about ultimate visibility. I just put a humminbird helix 7 si gps on my boat. It helps so much with the side imaging

[@MDLRFishing]

love side imaging!

[@bloodOntheStep]

I got head in the ferry line once.

[@leomartinez4398]

Whataburger fuck yes! Let me guess you got a B.O.B or a couple of taquitos haha 👍

[@adventureforth4389]

Seems you're not really riding the Pro Angler anymore?

[@MDLRFishing]

The reason is because the Outback has the better Lowrance.

[@thinshavings]

Did you fish the channel side of the jetty? Were ship wakes a problem?

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes I was on the channel side but there were no wakes. The ships in the background were all anchored. The only wakes came from small boats.

[@Sergio_713]

How deep does it get(anchor length)? Gonna be my first time taking the yak there tommorow morning any tips and tricks? Were do you launch?

[@MDLRFishing]

Not deep at all. About 6’ average depth. The boat cut is >30’. Launch right by the jetty.

[@txdocprich_8404]

We are going to the TCD Thursday night Friday morning

[@txdocprich_8404]

Where is the Jetty fishing at?

[@txdocprich_8404]

NM

[@txdocprich_8404]

MDLR Fishing Got all bummed out at sea wolf park, first drum broke off, second broke my $20 10ft rod in half

[@MDLRFishing]

Oh wow 😮! Now that’s one that’ll keep you going back for revenge. Good luck next time.

[@txdocprich_8404]

MDLR Fishing Definately going back for revenge. I'm rigging up my deep sea rod right now, if they break that, I'm just gonna lmbo and call it a day.

[@ScottLiberty1110]

How do you have your YakAttack Visi Carbon Pro mounted to your Outback?

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s mounted on the 8” circular hatch.

[@blinkytran]

isn’t that a far yak out?

[@MDLRFishing]

No, if I had to guess, maybe 3/4 of a mile.

[@treygonzales8512]

What kind of yak you using ??

[@MDLRFishing]

Hobie Outback

[@d81gartica]

Enjoy your videos, I'm from Matagorda if you ever in the area hit me up for some tight lines!

[@jadiel2543]

What up bro great video I just subbed.. I would like to go to these jettys I'm from McGregor, TX how can I get here

[@MDLRFishing]

Just look up the north jetty on google maps. It’s right off of 16th street. The jetty can be hit or miss but when they’re biting it’s so worth it!

[@jadiel2543]

MDLR Fishing found it.. thanks this will be my second time saltwater fishing

[@Frank-bo8pw]

Since you catch and release I'm gonna subscribe lol

[@hellyeah1928]

Subscribed

[@MarioRodriguez-br5uq]

Do u ever fish port o connor or port a

[@MDLRFishing]

I will make my way down there very soon. But I've never fished there before. Been wanting to fish both places for the longest time!

[@MarioRodriguez-br5uq]

MDLR Fishing cool man looking forward to seeing them vids

[@jsantiago1620]

Awesome video man. What do you do for a living that you can fish so much? Lol

[@MDLRFishing]

I'm retired and trying to get to a point where I can make a living doing what I love. At least that's the plan. I thank you for watching my videos, this support is what fuels me.

[@wadeogilvie4075]

I would love to go fishing with you one day I'm a disabled veteran who's legally blind but I'm pretty sure I can get someone to take me to meet you two fish somewhere

[@yetirn8786]

WELCOME ABOARD THE MERRY VESSEL ROBERT C. LANIER!!!

[@luv2smell]

Settle down Jorge lmao!!!

[@Mannyflow4]

Good videos man keep them coming 👍🏽👍🏽.... what do you think of fishing the north jetties this coming Friday that we have good weather?? Be nice to get your opinion thanks bro..

[@MDLRFishing]

Not sure, I don’t have any experience fishing them this late in the year after a cold front.

[@Mannyflow4]

Sounds good I’m gonna give it a try Friday and see how it goes.... thank you

[@Shokenryu]

"its a lady fish, oh you turd" lol

[@johnlasley9384]

Free line your finger mullet

[@MDLRFishing]

👍

[@johnlasley9384]

Most of your 5lb plus trout are caught within 50 feet from the rocks, try a fly next time & you will be amazed !

[@MDLRFishing]

👍

[@KreeIix]

You should learn how to properly release a fish, especially a trout which typically need a little resuscitation

[@MDLRFishing]

Could just be me but I always consider the fish I catch and try to get them back in the water fast. Depending on the fight I will do all I can to revive them so they have a good chance at surviving. Anyhow I’m thankful for your concern and will continue to do my best to conserve our resource that we love so much. Tight Lines good buddy. Thanks for watching!

[@U812GREEN]

It won't be long before your the old guy on a boat. Be nice

[@MDLRFishing]

lol... still got another 20+ years in me. But a boat would be nice for some long distance trips.
