Sight Casting BIG SNOOK and Tarpon in Creeks and Canals!!!

Yoyoo what's up guys back again with some more CRAZY canal action!!!! Tarpon on the very first cast of the day, sight casted a slot snook in a super skinny mud creek, and missed GIANT canal snook! Also saw some snook and redfish cruising the canal. Overall it was a pretty good day of canal fishing, also let me know in the comments if I should get a kayak again to get to those spots I can’t hit on foot.

Yo kayak fishing vids would be dope

I knew this was pinellas😊That little bridge is so kind in the winter. That muddy body warms the water and the snook stack up. I moved up to SC a year ago but I fished these spots for years. Keep hammering dude.

Love that snook! You should try those canals on the incoming high tide, thats when they feed. Outgoing tide not much will strike unless it's a "reaction bite." DEF get a kayak! I know they are expensive so maybe get a used peddle drive. SO MUCH FUN! I prefer true peddles, not the goofy penguin flippers that Hobie uses. Great kayaks but silly drive system and you don't peddle, you kick your feet back and forth, so dumb. Happy fishing my friend!

For sure, thank you!

Nice fish. Reminds me of when I was a kid back in the 1960's fishing for tarpon, snook and bass in the canals around the Miami area. Tamiami Canal, some canals off Milam Dairy Road and the big lakes on the south side of MIA airport. Also used to fish a lot in Black Creek Canal and other drain canals around the Perrine/Cutler Ridge area - lots of nice tarpon in there back then.
