Check out another wade fishing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZKcqmtoobZlh80

[@bluesfish55m51]

One of your best uploads in awhile IMHO. I like the simplicity of the POV from behind the rod, just you against the elements, almost like being there. . And you got the reds in the shot w/out a viewfinder. Bonus! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thonny]

I like to switch it up every now and again!

[@rekilfc8363]

This is the difference between novice fishing and advanced fishing… I hope to be this good at fishing one day.

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it 🙌 you’ll get there soon!

[@TailChaser86]

Thonnys uploads always give me something to be excited to watch!

[@Thonny]

The chase! Let’s get on em soon

[@TailChaser86]

@@Thonny I’m ready we just gotta plan it

[@FloridAdrenaline]

Great reds man! Wading's probably one of my favorite ways to fish because of the stealth factor and you're actually in the water with them...My area doesn't have much seagrass anymore so it's been tough the last few years.

[@eugeneweeks3325]

I live here locally. I wanna go fishing with you brother.

[@riner9]

This been my favorite kind of fishing for 20 years. I bring a kayak now but I'm mostly in the water.

[@Thonny]

Ya an adrenaline rush!!

[@dennissmith6102]

Great fish! I love wading the flats. It is my favorite way to fish. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@PristineFloridaFishing]

Nice Reds 🙌🏻 I like the wade fishing stuff

[@saltylocal6917]

Man, I’m regretting selling my Simm waders! Used the G3s up north for steelhead and salmon fishing. Got down here and I didn’t want to step on a ray so I sold em. Still have Simms boots at least. Land based it is for now. Nice vid bro.

[@Thonny]

Can’t go wrong with simms gear! One of the best in the industry

[@ds3356]

Waders will drown you. I recommend a wet or dry suit of your wading in the ocean

[@saltylocal6917]

@@ds3356 Nice! I never thought of using a wet/dry suit! Thanks for the rec! 🙌

[@saltylocal6917]

[@saltaddict685]

I LOVE WHEN YOU MAKE WADING VIDEOS 📹 👍👍

[@danrivera3253]

I need some good wading areas in tampa. Any suggestions??

[@Thonny]

Check out simms tributary! Great for the price. Stay away from frog toggs they leak. Everything simms make is well thought out. I’m not sponsored by them or anything. They just make great products

[@danrivera3253]

I meant places to wade in tampa. Just getting into wade fishing salt water. I'm from up north and not used to salt water.

[@eurosighter]

Did Thonny get a new truck?? Young Sir that things sicccckkk

[@Thonny]

Thanks dude! Young sir 🤣

[@2Cool4Ryan]

Thonny, I’m new to wade fishing. Can you give me the best combo rod and reel for light lure to jig? Targeting trouts and pompanos

[@radikstettler3853]

Great video

[@Thonny]

Thank you !

[@inappropriateangler]

Hey, great video Thonny . I am learning a lot from you, looks like you are fishing fairly close to me. Most of my experience comes from set rig fishing the beach. When it comes to inshore fishing its like a dark hole for me. Always when i think of trying to find spots like this one , it seems intimidating to me. But that is the process of learning. Keep it up 🙌

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it man!! Glad the videos helped! You’ll get it, practice makes perfect 👊

Had it for a while now!

[@chrisallman1510]

I’m coming down to Tampa for the first time the last week of February for my wife to take the bar exam. I plan on fishing every day, but I’m not bringing my boat. Do you think you could point me into the right direction for snook or tarpon? We don’t have many of them up in Pensacola.

[@reelestatejeremy]

Nice ones! 😎

[@Thonny]

Thanks man! 🙌

[@fvang4751]

Concern of shark?

Sometimes! Just hoping I don’t run into bull sharks

[@b4dmblm705]

Actually, you do way better without your camera man. Nice to see the entire fight, from hook set to landing. Great job Thonny.👍

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it!

[@fishonkayakadventure]

once salt strong went away from zman, their soft plastics have sucked. too easily ripped apart by pinfish and puffers. ran through an entire pack on 10 consecutive casts.

It’s been getting the job done for me!

I went to this spot yesterday on neg low tide and saw at least 20 stingrays about 10 manatees and a couple dolphin. On the way out on the street side , 2 young guys were above to enter. I asked if they fished there before and they said no. I said how did you first find out about this spot and they replied, Thonnys video. 🤣

Come into baypines, I got a newer paddle tail lure for you to try out. You may have heard of them. They are called knockin tail lures. I've been slaying the fish on them. Got a couple of packs for you on the house.

North side!
