Walked into a spot loaded with big fish: North winds drained Galveston Bay (S7 E45)

[@marcelinorodriguez9315]

Good stuff. Solid fish and a different way to cook some red fish. 😋

[@MDLRFishing]

For sure!

[@christinerogers5331]

I'm really happy, Mark, that the Big Water ePDL is working well for you! It sure makes fishing a lot more enjoyable when your gear performs at a level that takes stress out of the equation. WOW, what a day of hammering those big reds, thanks for sharing. Take care and be safe!

[@MDLRFishing]

I love it! Always thankful for your comments and support.

You should let me refinish your kitchen cabinets and do a more modern backsplash , i specialize in bathroom kitchen remodels as a business owner and I can see the potential

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Man, you've been slaying them bull reds in the marsh ever since you got that Bigwater.

[@MDLRFishing]

I know bro, come to the dark side. We got cookies 🍪

@@MDLRFishing once this Bixpy comes in this week... There's no stopping me...

[@MDLRFishing]

🙌 great choice. Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty… you want chocolate chip?!!!

[@GONEFISHN1968]

Another good one Marc.Not everyone can find the fish in shallow cold water in the winter.Awsome vid. Bro👍🐟🐠🤙

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s pretty hard cause they don’t give themselves up and show where they are. But with a lot of luck and a million casts, the lure will eventually find one. 😂

[@mattfillman1182]

I crush up Lays potato chips and mix with a lil corn meal as a breading for frying fish. I will def be trying this pork rind method, looks great.

[@MDLRFishing]

Sounds great!

[@PuraSalAngler]

Awesome video as always - those were some Mike Tyson reds - that paddle drive looks great- you can see the difference in the video - as soon as it kicks in it just goes - first thing that comes to mind - a bobsled right at the moment the team begins to push 😂- man I could hear that crunch on those fish filets- chicharrón panko - I definitely have to give that a try- tight lines- PuraSal Angler🙌🏻

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks 👍 bro!

[@PuraSalAngler]

How’s the throw cushion working for you?

[@YAKINGWITHDREW]

I saw that at my HEB I didn’t buy it but I’m definitely gonna try it now Thanks for a awesome video!!

[@MDLRFishing]

Hope you like it! 🤙

[@mosquitofleetfishing6599]

That 27-1/2” was a high 8 fish. Perfect for a weigh in if it has a few buddies the same size! That 28-1/2” was probably a low 10. Solid fish. I love catching belly draggers

[@MDLRFishing]

Cool, thanks for sharing 🤙!

[@backyardfisherman6706]

I'm glad to see the ring and the family in 24. Love the videos, bro.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for watching 🤙

[@keithhughes2936]

The meal looks good. The one thing about some of OT kayaks is that BIG hole in the floor.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks

[@caleb4015]

Have you looked at a Jackson Coosa FD for where you fish? That drive would do pretty well in that shallow water.

[@MDLRFishing]

I haven’t.

[@brucebroussard1809]

Yo Marc, great great video!!! I would have tried a top water lure in that shallow water, but you just nailed em! Semper Fi my brother!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@old18]

Nice video, Mark!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks y’all!

I’m going to look for panko stuff!

[@MDLRFishing]

🤙 worth a try.

[@TexArk-y4b]

Finally a catch and cook 😂

[@Reel_em_all_fishing]

As always Mark, thanks for grinding it out in that wind. I know you do this for a living and sometimes don’t have a choice. Like many of your followers I look forward to your content every week. P.s I don’t know about your shimano but I’ve seen videos where you can open the side plate and it has further settings for casting. Just fyi.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks, I need to take a look under the hood if all else fails.

[@MrKevlopez]

Add yellow mustard to your egg batter makes planko stick better love your videos bro

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for the info! 🤙

[@trinacria1956]

Oh well, went a day too early when was too dry to launch. What store did you get that pork panko?!

[@MDLRFishing]

H‑E‑B

[@dixter1652]

nice looking fish... where is that boat launch located.. thanks

[@chadleavitt9519]

Love your videos just wondering what pound test you like to use in the marsh thank you

[@MDLRFishing]

Thank you, between 5-10 lb braid.

[@kountryboyimfishing]

Great video Bro.... where did you get those clamps your holding the Redfish with

[@MDLRFishing]

If it’s the fish grips, they’re likely listed in the video description. Can get them just about anywhere. 👍

[@kountryboyimfishing]

@@MDLRFishing Ok cool thanks Bro... I subscribe to the Channel.... Keep up the good work

[@AlanSloan88]

You were really cooking on the marsh and at home.

[@MDLRFishing]

👨‍🍳😂

[@fieldman00]

I recently purchased a kayak, and watching your channel, I see you putting on waders and boots so that you can wade your boat into the water. Curious as to what boots you are wearing and the process you use for cleaning/drying them after wading into mud flats. They would have to be durable boots that can be wet and dry easily?

[@MDLRFishing]

I’m using Simms Flyweight Boots. If I’m not tired when I get home, they’ll get a fresh spraying of water from the hose. The boots last about three years on average. I’m on my third pair now.

[@TXmedic95]

Man I’m getting my UL Kinetic out for its first trip tomorrow

[@MDLRFishing]

💪 go get ‘em.

[@jonhattanmartinez3850]

My father and I saw you launching that day but I didn't want to be a weirdo and approach you lol

[@jonhattanmartinez3850]

Thursday around 10am if I'm not mistaken

[@MDLRFishing]

😂 I wouldn’t of mind.

[@bubblebreeze1635]

I had similar issues with my SLX BFS when I first got it. I was having issues getting it dialed in. The main problem was its really hard to see the numbers. I turned mine all the way to 1 the first trip out while trying to turn it up. Overcast is almost the best lighting to see the numbers. Too dark or too bright and its hard to see. But once I got everything figured out I was bombing little small 1/16th ounce underspins.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the reel. 👍

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

Change the line see if it makes a difference I was having problems with the curado DC changed to different line and no more problems

[@MDLRFishing]

Wouldn’t hurt, hopefully it’ll work.

[@bshep1945]

Woohoo I'm the first one!! Great video Mark!

[@MDLRFishing]

🙌

[@ETuss713]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I know you know how to cast and fish, but when I use a bfs reel they cast much better when I dont cast with the typical snap action. Since the spool is so light as spin so easily a lazier cast is usually the better approach. With how you said youre having to set up the reel and your issues, I bet that is the reason. Maybe not. Just my thoughts and theyre worth what you paid for them...

[@MDLRFishing]

I’ll give it a try.

[@ETuss713]

Ok. I know you dont need to be told how to cast. Its just what worked for me.

[@MDLRFishing]

😂🤙

[@parsz22]

great video! how deep was the water?

[@MDLRFishing]

Different depths throughout the marsh.

[@mikevillarreal5180]

I'm not a kayaker, and therefore I'm asking the question from complete ignorance!! Is there a reason you use the 7' rods vs 6'6? It just seems like the smaller rod would be easier to work with on a yak since there is less space. Again, I have never fished from a kayak so I don't know and just asking out of curiosity. Great catches, keep up the good work. Thanks Master Gunns....Sempers!

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s easier to clear the bow of the kayak when seated. And the 7’ length helps with slinging tiny 1/16 and 1/8 oz lures to finicky fish from a distance.

[@backyardfisherman6706]

Okay, Marcus! It's Christmas, at least the closest.

[@jonwisdom952]
