4 Hours of RAW and UNCUT Fishing with LIVE Shiners and Gulp Minnows | Lake Ida Florida

hi y'all Justin with kayak catfish well good morning from Cloudy but beautiful South Florida I'm down here on Lake Ida today I'm on a South Florida road trip adventure this week and boy we're going to have some fun today I have got a bucket full of live shiners we're going to be doing some live bait fishing for literally everything peacock bass huge bluegill clown fish other exotic fish we're going to troll with those live shiners work these dock Shor lines all the way around through here on Lake Ida but first though I'm going to throw an artificial this morning and pick off some areas that I got some fish yesterday I rolled into town late yesterday afternoon had a couple hours of daylight when I got here I said I'm going to get on the water see what I could figure out so I was able to catch some fish in these areas I'm going to throw an artificial first thing this morning I'm going to put the camera in the chest y'all we're going Raw and Uncut again today unedited completely unfiltered you're going to be like it's like you're out here with me real fish trip no highlight crap you're seeing it all every cast every fish caught every crazy thing that happens you're seeing it we're going to see some fishing guides out here today too at the boat launch there was a ton of them getting ready to take clients out right here's what I'm going to start with this morning this is a 1-in Gul minnow I've got it on a slightly bigger jig head than I normally use that's a 132 Oz head with a number six size hook 2B test line ultral light Rod St Croy Panther series on a 1,000 size DOA Rail and we're going to throw around this dock here first thing here's the situation y'all well first off it's starting to rain too I hope it don't rain hard cuz the rain suit is in the car I didn't think it was going to rain cloudy I didn't see rain in the forecast today we you and me we may get Dr y'all probably smart enough to pack you your rain suit I ain't going back the car we'll just get wet it's hotter and damn it out here anyway it's the dang humid down here you you feel like you're wet when you step out the car but anyway we're going to throw this gulp here first thing I what I wanted to do I I got out here yesterday and we got close to Sunset and started seeing fish busting the surface and I said you know what I'd like to have me a Whopper plopper on well here's the thing my silly self forgot to pack any the Whopper ploppers top water plug they at the house and I thought well no problem I was going to go get some live bait for this morning anyway I'll just pick one up so anyway I went to Walmart last night in Boon Beach and I thought I can get me a Whopper plopper they'll have something there whether it's a Whopper plopper a CH too or Ozark Trail whatever Walmart has you know I go in there and they don't have hardly anything not a single top water plug to be had no Whopper ploppers not a Buzz bait nothing I thought well I'm out of luck here but again I was going to go to a tackle shop and get us some shiners this morning anyway so whatever I'll just pay a premium price at the at the bait shop I go in this little drinky dink bait shop and first off I'm late getting out here too because I had to wait on them to open they didn't open till 6:30 but I go in there they don't have a single plug in the store they're not even selling AR officials they've got live baits of various kinds they've got hooks and sinkers terminal tackle type stuff no artificials in that store so we are completely out of luck on my dang top water I I'm just I'm at a loss with it man I'm like how the hell do you not have a top water plug in in a Walmart how do you not have it in a tackle shop so undoubtedly there's probably a Bass Pro down here but like I said I was already a little late getting out here cuz I had to wait on the tackle shop opening I didn't want to try to find a Bass Pro and make a run there and then have to come back so we're going to go gulp here for a little a while see if I can get some big copper noose bluegill or bass or something else here in these places that especially this dock here where I got a few yesterday evening and then after that we're going to put on some shiners and we're just going to troll the ra and speaking and speaking like I said I thought if the bait shop if they had any top water plugs or anything like that you know you going to you go to a mom and pop store it's just you expect to pay a premium right that's just how it is well I knew I'd be paying more for them shiners than what I'd pay for them back home at home they're like $6 a dozen $7 someplace you know how much in things are down here $15.99 a dozen I I about weeed my pants right there at the cash register they're big I mean them dang things are they're they're a big Shiner but they uh they're proud of them down here so them things better catch us some peacocks man I'm going to be I'm going to be very upset if we don't get a bunch of peacocks on them shiners so far the gulp ain't doing much for us here I thought here at first light we'd see some activity like there yesterday evening but that's not the case so far I'm not really seeing anything thing busting the surface I even on the way up through here I'm in the this Lake Ida is there was something right there that hit the surface Lake Ida is kind of a two-part Lake it's a canal fed Lake there's all these little canals everywhere in South Florida and periodically these canals will open up to deeper Lake likee areas and Lake Ida is one of those Canal Lakes this is in the West Palm Delray Beach area down here and so this this lake is basically a two-part Lake you've got the bigger wider section on basically this side of the house there's a little Canal that cuts through and then opens up over here to a smaller section of the lake and yesterday I started fishing the other side by the by the boat launch and worked my way up and I didn't really do any good over there it was really it was really choked out with Weeds on that part that I was fishing it was hard to it was hard to cast you was getting I was getting salad salad mix on every D cast but once I got up over here could actually cast around these docks that wasn't just choked out with weeds I started catching fish so I just thought for sure we'd come back this morning and just tear them up and we probably will on that live bait but I just want to throw this gulp here a minute yall know I like throwing the Gul so you just going to have to bear with me if you just tuned in if you clicked on this video because of the live bait deal fast forward a little while give me like another 5 to 10 minutes with this and we we going to get after it with the live bait I got to you got to appease me here people we're going to have some fun today regardless I've looked forward to this trip all year it's finally here now my regular viewers you may be seeing this trip out of order since I filmed that raw and uncut video yesterday for my when I rolled into town I I think it was about two and a half hours was able to fish Before Sunset I probably won't post two long videos back to back that's probably not good for business so you may be seeing this after my after my shark fishing videos probably so I'm heading down to the [Music] keys this afternoon when I leave here I'm going to head to the airport pick up the partner in crime head down south down to the Keys and then tomorrow going to get after the sharks so you'll probably be seeing the shark fishing trips and then this after that assuming I got on some sharks I don't want to jinx it but um I'm hoping I do so anyway there's your little update for those of you that give a crap and some of you out to there an internet land or at least nice enough to pretend to care even if you don't and I appreciate that these fish on this dock apparently don't give a crap today I I was catching a few of them big copper noose bluegill big hand size ones last night nothing to be had here this morning he what we're going to do we're going to fish over here till this other dock cuz I caught some over here too and then after that we're going to throw on the the live baits if we're not just getting them here with the Gul the gulp is going to be pretty much impossible to fish here in a little while I think they're calling for high winds later this morning now the high winds because out here in these you know this canal Lake here Lake Ida it's not very wide it's not going to impose any kind of the wind will be a nuisance but it won't be any kind of threat or danger or anything like that we we'll be able to function just probably not with the gulp this finesse tactic here ultral light when you got high winds it's hard to fish it because it'll blow a bow in your line and just it'll make it it make it hard to feel the lighter bites so we'll probably just focus on the live baits the rest of the morning that bird up there is focusing on him a live bait too watching he's going to try to catch something before we do you think you will call you bookie in Vegas right now it's me versus that bird up there who's going to catch a fish first he is smart enough he's got his rain suit on he's always wearing his rain suit them feathers I think are just naturally water repellent mine back at the car thankfully it's just like a little fine Mist right now oh oh you bird I had me a bite right in I may be the underdog in Las Vegas but my gosh I just had a I had a little nip you better get after it bird he cocked his he knows I'm talking to him he knows I'm over here talking trash to a bird some of you like Justin's talking trash to the bird but that's a professional fisherman right there he fishes for a living literally he don't catch fish he don't live look at him look at him he couldn't handle the pressure he couldn't handle it folks he's flying off some people ain't cut out for Big Time competitions they just they the stress the pressure it gets to them and that bird he just he buckled I guess I kind of WI by default cuz I'm going to catch a fish somewhere down through here it ain't happened as quickly as what I would have hoped to but by gosh it's going to happen these birds all over this yard but last night I saw them people they was throwing feed out to them they got these birds trained to get over here and annoy people filming a video and no's like a bany rooster he's got his he's got his dang he had his wings flapped out like he's big time they probably laughing at that old hair and I ran off got me a weed good it come off that piece of grass just spit the hook yeah y'all I'm hoping to ultimately get a a variety of species out here today doesn't matter to me what we get I got to Copper noose bluegill I was wanting to catch yesterday so i' really like to ideally in a perfect world I'd like to get some peacock bass today some bigger ones I got some baby ones yesterday need some bigger ones today well them Birds up there they they're into it one of them's got a problem with the other all right let's make us one more cast with the gulp here and we're going to we're going to get after the live bait I just wanted to I just wanted to see if I could repeat some magic from last night on this little area right here and it don't look like it's happening tonight or today today tonight it's it's today and tonight somewhere depending on what time zone in okay well I'm going to take this off cuz if not these things will dry out on the hook and you've pretty much ruined a jig at that point oh here's what I think I'm going to do I've got two basically just plain hooks tied on my other rods for the shiners I may put one of these shiners on a jig head here to start and then another one we're going to troll them I'll put one on the ultral light if we hook a big peacock on this ultral light that'll be a good time we may end up switching over to the to the bigger rods on both both rods but we'll start with this all right look at these shiners right here these dang things are huge $15.99 a dozen though you better they better come with a fish attached to them I'm going to take this I'm going to take that jig hook we're going right out through a nostril there I'm going to throw him we're going to throw him off the right side of the kayak give him a little toss back there don't let me forget to turn that Bell over in a second now this here this is a little bit stouter rod that's a medium heavy Rod I got 30 PB braid to 15 lb fluorocarbon to a I think this is a number number two size hook let's get this on we're going to do the same thing though we're going to go right out through the nostril there we're going to throw him off the other side of the Kake and we just going to slow troll just very very very slow half a mile an hour probably is we're going to work over here along the shoreline we're going to take a look at all the sights out here as we move along set that one that rod on we got this one in there we ready to roll y'all so yeah y'all South Florida road trip started out great yesterday evening off to a little bit of a rough start this morning just for the simple fact you can't find a wber pler anywhere around here or a Buzz bait anything I it blows my mind but um we do have our live bait at least so we're going to make it count out here today but I'm just going to work a shoreline here just trolling around so I'm going to put you camera in the chest I hate that we're this far into video and ain't got a fish yet but that's fishing folks I said y'all out here let me get this camera adjusted uh y'all out here on a real fishing trip today unedited Raw and Uncut if we were out here in a boat fishing together well y'all would have probably done caught five fish by now me I'm ping around I've been ping around with that gulp instead of just throwing these shiners in and letting them work for me that's a nice thing about live bait is they will do the work for you we may have to end up we may have to end up trolling the other way the wind's kind of blowing this direction right now it's okay but it as it picks up we may have to end up trolling into it look at old twocan Sam over here he's sitting over there he's just hanging out waiting on you that that bird right there has been waiting on me to come back to Florida for a year okay he's climbing up on that dock over there get a better look at you that in there too at the roof on that house up there it's curve like one them uh it reminds me of like Mr Miyagi Karate Kid type house yeah right now we got that one Shiner behind us that's kind of just plain hook he's swimming around pretty freely the other one over here on the jig head is going to be farther down a little bit we'll have to kind of watch as we go through some shallow areas make sure he ain't draging bottom but it'll bring him down a little deeper and of course he's out here a little further off the side I'd expect this one on this side to get hit since it's closest to the Shoreline but time will tell but this here is probably the easiest way to guarantee yourself catching some fish I know it ain't panned out yet here this morning but but throwing you you live shiners out and just working the shorelines working along the edges of the docks uh if you can find the edge of weed lines troll along there with those this is a pretty good tactic anywhere especially if you're on a body of water that you're not really familiar with it's cuz everything will eat them dang shiners or minnows or whatever you got you know any any small live [Music] bait well it SS it sounds like a dang freight train's coming through or something something back there behind us these people out here that live out here they have got just beautiful beautiful surroundings I mean it's just it's gorgeous out here but you can forget about the peace and quiet you ain't going to have that yesterday evening we had boom boxers in the in the Wake borders going by on this small Lake there's wake boarders out here I come through to this upper section of the lake and and Tiger Woods is out here hitting golf balls off his back porch into the water so they just ain't no ain't no peace and quiet out here that's for sure but it's beautiful nonetheless we're going to see a lot of wildlife today bunch of species of birds that I ain't never some of y'all may have seen them before I ain't we're going to probably see some iguanas up in these trees and in people's yards and hopefully starting tomorrow we're going to see some big old sharks maybe not too big I'd like to keep them I'd like to keep them under about 10t any bigger than that when trouble bigger than that we may not get a look at them in in the kayak they going to drag us out a mile or two offshore before we can get them up to the surface you done scar that bird off up there you don't to be ashamed of yourselves bird didn't do nothing to you this right here was pretty smart these people have put their I don't even honestly know what that is some kind of pump looks like maybe got a Jacuzzi or something over there but they've put it behind a hedge so it ain't it's an eyes sword anybody on the water but not when they're looking out of their back window there that's pretty smart they got them a a tiki hut and everything oh I can't believe we haven't caught a fish right through here yesterday evening I was seeing this area here I was seeing I was seeing all kinds of fish popping and stuff through here chasing bait oh oh oh we got one we got one by gosh it's on the ultral light here he feels pretty good too y'all looking right into the sun this fish is hit right here as the sun pop through them clouds probably blind and you put your shades on I'm going to have to grab mine too I hope I remember to put them in the kayak this is a good fish whatever he is this one was on the jig head we had the jig head 132nd o number six hook with this particular Shiner here he ain't come up yet it feels like like a good fish whatever it could be anything look at him go man he ain't done I hope it's a clown fish how awesome would that be that would make my day if we had it's a clown fish I need to get him he's come over here to this other side he said well if if if the Sun is on the other side he'd just come over here and help us out that's nice of this fish he's going to try to get my other line apparently he's swimming circles around us y'all this ultralight though and two lb line I've got to kind of take my time you don't want to don't want to horse him especially too since I don't know if this particular fish I don't know what he is he may have teeth we need to he's going to get another line over there we need to we need to get this one out of the way if we can ding that line up there I really don't want him getting in that dang Line This is a good one whatever he is to steer him I'm trying my best steer him away out of that other line well y'all it's taking a while here 20 something minutes looks like to get our first fish but this one we're going to be starting out with a bang here whatever he is I don't think he's a large mouth because he would have done come up the surface by now so he's probably either going to be an exotic maybe some aquarium fish of some kind maybe a peacock it is a peacock that's a that's a nice peacock right there too look at that man nice peacock buddy yes okay see if we can get hold of him here yes got him got him y'all there's that hook right in the side of the face nice yeah the ones I got yesterday were this little tiny little tiny babies but that one there that's pretty nice let me get my front camera man we're going to hold this one up here a second let me get boy he's wound you calm it down there peacock I'm going to make you famous here this fish say he don't know what famous is why the heck would he want to be that let me spin around here so I can get a picture of this thing in the son okay let me set you up here man are we on vacation we out here getting selfies with peacock bass nice look at oh Lord that's awesome all right that was worth the wait a lot of fun on the ultralight too go on good buddy get out of here boy he got a taste for the car now he's going to take his time getting off there Ain going down slowly but surely taking his sweet time well good times let's get her camera mount back out of the way here's what I'm going to do now I'm going to put us another overpriced chiner but we getting our money's worth out did that fish poop on my thumb I think he did oh nasty fish I hope I ain't wearing some more of it somewhere let's get us another Shiner here I can't get a hold of that one yeah took us dang 30 minutes here to get a fish but boy he was a good time when we finally got one I tell you these shiners man these things are huge the one back home you buy shiners back home when they're like minnow sized this one here he's probably 3 4 in Long all right that was fun on that ultral light man that's uh yeah he hit kind of farther out too okay now let's just make sure let me just make sure we still got one on I think this one here may be gone possibly he's still on there yeah he's swimming he ain't as Lively as he was we're going to throw him back out anyway may switch him out here in a few minutes y'all holler at me if it's been a few minutes and he ain't got eat we going replace [Music] him all right y'all first peacock of the day way bigger yesterday I I got some on the 1in G but they were 3 4 Ines I they were small I wasn't even sure I looked at the the footage last night when I got back like oh okay they were peacocks but when I first got them out here yesterday they were so small I'm like is it a peacock is it something else but that one there no deny that one that was definitely a peacock very cool yeah if it works out I mean that's first fish could have just been coincidence but if it works out that we need to put a jig head on get some extra weight get them things down a little further than we'll put a jig head on this and too I'm willing to accommodate these fish whatever they need I'm here I'm coachable man I'm adaptable they just tell me what they want what they need I got them covered the last the last couple years when I've come down I have thrown artificials exclusively whether it be the Gulp or the crappie I've called some some good peacock bass on the crappie magnets that I throw for skipjack I was like you know I just want to I just wanted to get some live bait today and and just kind of compare we see how the live bait does today compared to previous years when I've just thrown artificials was when I first I can't remember when it was now 2020 maybe 20121 maybe it's 2020 I spent a day fishing with Rob from antidote fishing Chargers and we were in a canal on down in Miami it was further south than here and U we were trolling live shiners like I'm doing here and got a clown fish and some others but there was one place in that Canal that man both rods I mean they were just going down peacock bass and so that was the best that was the best session of peacock bass that I've had in my previous trips and so I thought I'm going to I'm going to try these live shiners out here on Lake Ida and compare that to the artificials so we just experimenting y'all we out here we living it up we having some fun if an experiment don't pan out well so bit we're going to catch some fish regardless we'll know for the next time I come back hopefully next year I'd like to make this a a yearly thing if I can it's nice to kind of get away and the fall or winter back home it's still pretty back home because it's been a a warmer fall than usual but you get in the fall and winter months back home everything's dying off everything's Brown it's it's real dreary and cold you come down here everything is Lush and green and beautiful it's just year round it's a lot warmer down here this time of year than back home too oh oh oh oh is getting a little antsy there wasn't he pulled on the on the rod a little bit I call some fish in here in this area yesterday I got some copper nose in here bluegill don't know the depth water temperature stuff like that I'm in my Oldtown kayak bare bone setup no motor no electronics no nothing it's the way to live man especially going vacation you don't want to carry batteries into Hotel and starting tomorrow when I'm fishing salt water you get that saltwater splashing on your Motors and you electronics and stuff things get corroded even you try to wash everything off it's just things are going to happen so and plus starting tomorrow I won't need a I won't need a graph I'm going to just I'm going to get me some baits I'm going to go to them brid Bridge just down there and in the keys and we'll throw along the the bridge pilings get something for bait doesn't matter to me as long as it's legal we'll put that bait under a balloon and then we'll take off and just basically do this right here just with larger live baits and going after larger fish but won't be needing a won't be needing a graph or a motor down there and it's nice just not having to fool batteries to charge when you get back this kayak certainly much lighter weight than my other one which is very beneficial when you having to drag through sand to launch and load don't know if any of y'all out there some of you know what I'm talking about some of you may not but you try dragging something through sand un let's say kayak this one here is about 100 lb you pull it through sand it feels like it's heavier than 100 lb that sand because you're your feet are slipping and sliding in the sand as you're pulling everything just feels heavier so the lighter the lighter you can make your rig the better when it comes to fishing the ocean that's my opinion on anyway I ain't trying to get a hernia get to the water if you know what I mean if I get a hernia it's going to be from pulling on some 500 plus pound shark yeah I'm sitting here thinking these shiners they're so dang big I don't know even them copper noose bluegill I mean they're hand siiz bluegill I don't know if they could eat them shiners as big as them things are I think they could Pro I mean my these hooks are a little big number two size hooks they're they're a little big for the bluegill but I think they could probably get those but the shers being so big I don't know if they could or not that may be that may limit some of our BS we may need to catch some peacocks or some tilapia or or cichlids or something something with a bigger mouth to be able to eat them things fell over there at that house he's got to work today he's I guess he's about to press pressure wash something probably caus us a bunch of Racket once we get over our tap I don't know what he's [Music] doing I've been working my tail off at home getting a bunch of chores done a lot yard project so definitely nice to get a break from that this week come down here just focus on fishing there was something splashing right up yonder edge of that tree I may work a little closer to the edge over here yeah boy Bon Beach Walmart I'm going to tell you if you ain't if you're in South Florida Boon Beach Walmart probably ain't the one to go last year I went to pompo beach that one that one was probably a little bit more sketchy but it must be crime bre you had to walk through this like Turn Style gate to get in there I don't know if it was metal detector or what but you go through it and a lot of the stuff in the store is locked up behind glass maybe that's why they ain't got no Whopper ploppers maybe people were stealing them blind they just did away with it I did find a Chick-fil-A last night though Chick-fil-A turns out is just as good in South Florida as it is back [Music] home staying in a I just pulled up yesterday evening I got done fishing I just pulled up Expedia looked for hotels in in the area I ended up staying at a I don't know if it was a holiday in or holiday in express it was the cheapest of the decent hotels it was like $95 plus tax which is still pretty damn steep if you ask me but it was in a town called Lantana which is like 10 minutes here from the lake so very short drive but somebody next door to me was having a domestic issue last night they were arguing and carrying on late into the night what we got going on here have I picked up something or is that a fish I think we might have a fish here I don't know what's going on with this it feels kind of heavy I wonder if our Shiner ain't swam through some weeds he's swimming though he's swimming over there trying to get my other line we're going to find out in a second that's two now whatever he is on the on the jig head and farther out on this side CU said it don't matter to me it don't matter to me which Rod they hit it's definitely a fish I first picked up he was just kind of weight on there like I might have been in the weeds or something it's another peacock it's another peacock well he's look at him go he's wound up this one ain't as big get out of your system go ahead get it out come in here let's make you let's get you extra Myspace friend here fish nice y'all got a spot right there on his tail all that orange up under his gills nice thank you peacock okay oh that's two as I'm blowing up in the trees both of them on the ultral light with the the jig head I'll tell you what we're going to do here I said I aim to please if that's what they want that's what they get we may I'm going to leave stuff as is for now if we catch one more I got this thing all wrapped around me okay there we go if we catch one one more with the jig head before we catch one with just the hook and I will put another jig head on the other Rod we'll do two setups like that which one of you shiners wants to catch is something big here that looks like a this one here has volunteered his tribute as they would say in The Hunger Games there was proud Shiner let's send him out there okay let's check this one since we've been set here oh hell this one here we may be now may be a good time to put on oh it may be a good time to put on a jig head cuz I'm snagged in this tree God damn it that dang Shiner swam us into a tree over here while I was while I was fooling with that peacock I don't know why you let him do that you supposed to keep an eye on that Shiner y'all that you all had one job don't let him get into a tree while I was fighting the other fish and what J do you let him go right into that tree you wasn't paying attention definitely wasn't my fault that happened I had my hands full we supposed to be a team at this me and you there he come we definitely going to switch him out this shine here is against us he about dead anyway I don't know how the heck he got over there all right you know what I'm going to do I'm going to go ahead and just put a jig head on I'm on I'm just going to do it y'all I'm going to keep us trolling along here while we while we switch this out but I'm going put another 1302 o number six size hook I don't know if it's just the weight keeping it down maybe we've just gotten lucky with where we've had that other Shiner out but you'd think they'd be closer to these trees here would be getting more action you would think I mean I would think anyway but what the hell do I know let's keep on the move here before that other Shiner gets us in them trees back there I got that I got that hook threaded perfectly right there first try as the rain picks up I'm glad y'all packed your rain suit wished I had have if it stays like this it won't be bad but if it picks up I'm going to get drenched this fell over here he's out there washing his windows in the rain he don't give a crap man okay okay here let's uh throw us another another Shiner on this one and toss it out there we go okay we're back in the back in the game two rods here oh crap he just come off the hook you let him get away how did y'all let that Shiner get away man that dang thing let's get us another one then let's go out through the Bony part there in his mouth that right there is going to have a harder time getting away I hope okay I'm getting wet y'all he a rain Shar moving through see this make sure he's still on too I don't where this one's at oh crap y'all he's in the dang pedal Drive boy y'all have really done it this time look at this mess look at this mess right here y'all have done it now bad enough y'all let me get wrapped up in a tree a little while ago now I've ran over this one dang yeah this is the challenge here of going Raw and Uncut people on stupid stuff like like this happens this is the kind of nonsense you see we still got her oh there now he popped off Raw and Uncut unedited people and stupid Shenanigans happen yall going to see it man oh man let me put this one here behind us I can't believe y'all done that what the dang I guess when we went back to get the when we went back to get that other Shiner out the tree I guess we ran over our line with the prop that's the only thing I can figure that happened I can't take y'all anywhere you know making a y'all making me look like a complete idiot out here on this video this was a edited video I'd have I'd have edited this crap out for sure all you can do is laugh at it at least we at least we got everything under control now though I still I can't get that dang other line off air for nothing there we go let pedal are way along for that other Shiner finds himself in a prop or something goodness gracious I can't see I got to get my glasses here are they there we go all right let's get this one tied on and well I'm glad we I'm glad I went to check that thing I was just going to check make sure he was still on there while we'd got the other one and he was all wrapped up in that prop let's trim our tag in here Lord Almighty yesterday went pretty smoothly today we've had all kinds of issues right from the start okay let's get us another let's get us another Shiner here and I think we're going to be back in the game again till y all do something else open up Shiner okay all right let's send him out there Guy holler us us oh he's talking to himself he's got one of them earpieces in I thought he was talking to me let's throw that him out there he's dying and them shiners in there ain't doing very good1 15.99 them things better live forever they better come with a recipe for the fony Youth 99 a dozen all right y well we back in the game what a mess that was snagged in the tree snagged in the prop we in business now though but we got our lines back out the rain seems to have stopped for a second something's busting over there at that dock you see that they're chasing bait right over there that's a dock weable to we like we're going to stumble into them somewhere out here if y'all stick with me long enough it's it's probably going to happen or think we're almost an hour into this only two fish so far but y'all stick with me we'll we'll find them eventually we just got to cover some water but you know what both of the both of the peacocks that we've caught so far have both been bigger than any of the peacocks I got yesterday so the live bait has definitely improved our quality of fish I can't remember how many of them small ones I got on the gulp yesterday I think it was like two or three peacocks on the on the Gul but but they I mean they were just tiny there's some in here though that weigh several pounds so we stumble into those we in for a good time especially if they hit the ultral light Rod this one over here will be a we'll land them a little quicker on the on the St Stout Rod as the rain now picks back up again I guess it's just going to be a like this all dayang morning I reckon I didn't think it's supposed to rain there's another fish over here busting by this back we're going to try to we're going to try to turn and come right up by this dock where all that activity is Going On You' think it's rain and the clouds today would kind of have them kind of have them going today hopefully the lens ain't getting covered in this Mist if it does y'all bust out your squeegee and clean it off there or holler at me and I'll do it see if we can just turn right up in through here where the another fish was at do you see them right there if we don't catch nothing pulling up through here I'm going to reel up and toss right in there I don't have any floats but I do have some balloons I could tie on be like a float if we get on a concentration of them you know let's just do this he's wrapped around this one's wrapped around the paddle back here y'all I swear every dag on thing that we can get tangled in it's happening okay let's just give him a toss right over there and see what happens right in there was fish was busting there was something chasing we got them a free to them meal $15.99 a do that's a $15.99 a dozen these dang shiners are over a dollar a piece I'm too cheap to be buying live bait y' I'm just too cheap for it I would never spend $15.99 for a dozen shiners back home but we're vacationing spend ending too much money is what people do on vacation that's how it goes somebody stand over there I don't know if they fishing or what maybe they tell us where the fish are [Music] at what they doing over there I may have to have awkward conversation with some stranger y'all you know I don't like talking to people I'll talk to y'all but I don't want to talk to strangers I think I'm going to have to though it's it's inevitably we're going to cross paths over here I'm going to have to I'm going to go around him but I'm probably going to have to say hi to just to be polite this is so awkward I never really know what to say looks like he's having lme malfunction too though it ain't just me today oh he's got a kid too I'm going to have to have two conversations oh how awkward is it going to be if my lines get tangled with his I'm going to have to just make a wide a wide Loop here to go around yeah we're just going to make a wide Loop go around them we'll hug the shoreline as we after we get a little distance between us I don't want to be tangling up everybody's lines it wouldn't hurt them to catch some fish I at least have some more on this video fish on the videos it counts whether I catch them or not don't matter if it's me reeling in you reeling them in or random strangers you know fish is the fish there's something busting right in front of us at least I ain't the only one catching B here misery loves company speed up a little bit Yeah water Move Along here cut back over here by these other [Music] docks well so far so good I haven't had to I haven't had to make awkward conversation yet I think we may be able to avoid it somehow okay was able to avoid it things are turning around for us d I just ain't a I'm not a social butterfly I'm not I'll talk to you all I just can't do I just can't do people I'd rather if I'm going to have a conversation with somebody I'd rather it be either somebody I know or somebody that's I at least find interesting but just awkward forced conversation with a random stranger the the hey how's it going having any luck today you know crap like that I just i' just rather not say anything I don't talk unless people talk to me I don't talk to them and sometimes if it's a kid or something I'll I'll wave say hi but a random adult boat ramp or something I try not to make I keep my head down try not to make eye contact let just try to avoid it I thought for sure though y'all I mean seriously I am a little discouraged ain't going to lie I thought with as much activity I was seeing yesterday as many fish as I caught on the gulp they thought I'd come out today and and have the the live baits kind of troll along the shoreline and we'll just tear them up and uh nothing and even even yesterday afternoon I was I was sing all them fish kind of busting the surface and stuff while I was thinking about trying to get a top water this morning not really other than that dock over there I mean something was actively chasing by that dock but overall not seeing nearly as much activity this morning it may be like an afternoon bite type thing going on down here right now that's certainly the way it's been back home uh lately it's been more of an afternoon bite especially for the catfish but we're going to keep plugging along here I'm going y'all got need you squeegee hold on y'all beautiful looks amazing there now we back in the game y'all can see again we'll keep covering some distance here I I think we're going to be okay wind wise if we do want to throw the gulp again and kind of be able to work tighter to these docks got something going on up here to the left y'all I'm going to turn the camera around very coily she's up to something I don't know what she's doing but she's out here looking for something she's out here for trouble I guess she's going back in now she come out and looked around like she's up to something I smelled her before I saw her I guess when she open the door there some smell come out of that house it's stunk to be honest with you I don't know what's going on up there come over here to the edge of these docks and try to work this bait along the edge of them we need some fish in a bad way y'all get your Judy off of you whatever whatever bad juju y'all got on you right now it's it's definitely affecting our bite I want you to look up here on this house you read that it says can I kick it yes you can I I I don't even know what they're talking about kick the house surely they don't want you to kick that bird you flip Birds you don't kick them that sign it says on the house can I kick it yes you can I have no idea y'all have any idea what the heck they're talking I don't know I don't know what that means but it literally says that on that house hey bird where's them fish at I'll talk to the birds I don't want to talk to people but I'll talk to that bird right there he ain't going to tell me though that bird is still more of an interesting conversation than most humans for sure I got to see if my glasses are here that Sun keeps periodically peeking out behind the cloud Morey when it does it about blinds you got water down in my glasses too well for those of you that's tuned in to see an action-packed raw and uncut video one fish after the other ain't been that kind of trip folks not yet anyway the morning is young but it ain't panned out like that yet but we're gonna keep after him just like that buddy just like that we hooked up Universe felt bad for me right [Music] there we can kind of horse this in a little bit can't we with this heavier Rod he's fighting like a Dickens though ohy he's a polling man he may have been on the corner of that dock there potentially goodness I'm going to back off my drag a little bit there I got my drag locked down for the skip Jack back home I forgot to loosen that thing up man this feels like a good one right here yeah it is a good one that's another one there comparable comparable size maybe to that first one maybe a little bigger maybe come here peacock nice number three nice y'all look at that yes oh peacock so let's set this over here a second let me grab my let me grab my camera mount here here so I can get me a picture or let's get our line we got our fishing line everywhere over here let me get spun here a minute y'all bear with me a second I don't want to run over our other line again that's all we need is to do it twice in one trip I'd never y'all ain't going to let me hear the end of it from doing it the first time how would I live it down if I done it twice let me set you up there a second y'all okay fish number three nice peacock that's awesome man are these things cool looking fish or what man all right we'll see you peacock he says he says I'll be lucky to ever see him again he says he's moving to a different zip code before I come back okay let's see what's going on with the yeah we still rolling on the camera there we all right I thought I'd done something to it there oh I just spilled spilled part of our chiner water okay number three we getting there y'all slowly but surely we getting there open up Shiner open up I can't get that D there we go there we go okay let's throw him back Yonder there and I'm going to take a look at our other line over here just make sure we ain't run over it again and you know how y are Yan ain't paying attention where that Line's at while you fighting fish I can't get you in the multitask if if my life depended on it let's make sure we okay yeah we okay we good on that one y'all did a good job at time I give credit where credit is due y'all did good [Music] now let's get over here and the wind blew us off a little bit let's get back over here and keep making our way along I don't know what these fishing guys down here do I know they're all using live bait but I don't know if they're like some of them obviously troll but I don't know if the others they're just fishing under a float and and tossing up under docks and stuff I guess if you did that you'd need a lot more shiners CU you'd be you'd be killing them a lot more often just throwing them out reeling them in and stuff I'd hope these fishing guides down here I'd hope they got them a deal with some bait shop or something cuz I don't know $15.99 a dozen if you bought if he was a fishing guy I'd assume they'd want to have more than what I got with me so they'd be it'd be cutting into their profits a little bit unless they're just tacking on some guides do that it's a certain rate and then if you use live bait they tack on the fee for it others it's just all included got to redefine print we got another house coming together up here if y'all want to maybe consider purchasing that for me was like a vacation home when I come down here that'd be that'd be awesome we could just keep the kayak tied up to this dock right here and we'll be ready to go that's what you could do you could you could buy this house keep me a couple weeks a year blocked off of course and then yall stay in at the rest of the time you got a dang nice place I like their privacy fence situation even though the neighbors are close they've got them blocked out I saw something back there behind us I thought think we were about to come up on one maybe it might be in our best interest possibly of course I can't keep I can't manage these two lines the rate I've been going without getting in trees and my prop and everything but in theory we could run these two lines off the back of the kayak and be casting in front it sounds good in theory now you got three lines tangled up instead of one or two it ain't going to be as good but we can do that potentially said the wind right now it's supposed to be kicking up here midm morning but right now it's still we could still be casting a jig have these things going behind us and be working a jig along the along the docks and stuff here I'm thinking about it I'm thinking real hard about it what do y'all want to do you think we're on vacation let's live a little let's do that that's what we're going to do I'm [Music] on I guess we'll yeah that's what we'll do I'm gonna put this Rod right there with something right there I'm gonna put y'all gonna have to watch these rods behind me now you gonna have to really pay attention to them cuz if you don't we're going to have fish on and not know it this in here's just got the plain hook tied on so we're going to we're going to roll with it on this set up and we'll put us another go on the ultralight rod and cast it till the till we get tired of doing that if we was catching more fish trolling I'd be discontent doing two rods here but y'all know how I am I'm a little impatient and y'all definitely impatient I I see how the how people fast forward and stuff like that in the video so I know y'all impatient reel this one in we'll toss the other one out I mean it though y'all you going to have to let me know when we get one on behind us here okay got some line there all right let's put us a gulp on you're lucky little Shiner watch this watch this right here y'all watch me throw away a dollar right there I should have put him back in the bucket you believe that damn thing's over a dollar unreal we about to do G minnow versus live Shiner if I was a better you Tu I'd call this some kind of bait challenge but I don't have to do all that clickbait crap to get views on my channel so we ain't going to call it that but it kind of is there we go 1 in gulp this is a 132 o head number six hook y'all holler we get a rod on or fish on in the back okay now we're in the business here we're in the game I don't threw that thing over my head looks like I'm throwing up real shallow right there kind of working back into a canal here and we may go back here a little bit before we turn yeah I don't know how smart this is to be trying to operate this many rods but we'll we'll give it a shot for a little while we done got a fish right here with the dang gulp that's a little baby peacock right there okay well we've already improved our catch rate with the gulp about three cast into it this a good idea y'all had we should have been doing this all along I tried talking you into it first thing you didn't want to I can't tell you it's nothing I could tell you the sky is blue you'd argue with me I just got to let you figure stuff out on your own that's how that's how we got to do it got bird over there I don't think he likes us being here look at him spread his wings ass know them like bany roosters are puffing his chest out I don't know what kind of birds them are they got a bad attitude though don't they I ain't never done nothing to you bird he don't care he said that's his dock he'll crap all over it if he wants to looks like he has too multiple times one thing about it being kind of cloudy out here this morning it's kept a temperature from being too miserable so so we got that going for us I can keep the camera running played around a little bit with that DJI camera the action 4 filmed some videos with it the overall sentiment from the audience there I was asking for feedback with it and everybody was said positive things about it but ultimately I decided to stick with the GoPro at least it's my primary camera anyway because of the picture quality when you put the the GoPro side by side with the action 4 here's a fish let's see what this one is oh this one's pulling let's see what he is here oh that's another big blue gill that's another one big old copper NOS right here this one has got something a malfunction going on with him he's got some sores on him let me have my jig back bluegill open upst so I can see well he ate it kind of Deep listen here he's had a bad time y'all he's got a sore on his side and he's got this thing I can't hard see it there we go there we got it I think he's going to be okay you got lucky bluegill this in here he's he was close to having it down in the gills but I think he's going to be okay let's throw him on a board by big old copper NOS bluegill yesterday I got I got a few of them and I I was so excited to see these things he's I'm more excited to see him than he is me yeah that there shy of 9 in but a dang nice fish and I'm going to flip him over here and show you look that on his belly there you got some sore you need to put some Sav On that blue he don't know what a Sav is that fish right there he needs him he needs him anointment they bluegill ain't got much ain't got much uh in their medicine cabinet down there they ain't got much to choose from well by gosh y'all we switch over to the Gulp and see we got two live shiners out and the gulp has produced two fish to zero since we started using everything together y'all should have done this sooner in the trip where we at we're an a air and a half or so into this thing I should have maybe just thrown the Gul all morning out here it if I'd thrown the Gul all morning I'd have got out on the water soon cuz I wouldn't had to wait at the bait shop and I wouldn't if I had committed to the gulp two I wouldn't have had to risk my life going to Walmart last night looking for a top water I really did want a top water out here today though I wanted to try it but just what meant to be although with no no more activity than we've seen seen I I don't know if we've done any good on top water or not today looks like I can ditch the glasses again for a little while about to think it's about to rain on us again you know what else I could have done if I just committed to the gulp today I could have saved $50 on them damn shiners you can buy a lot of gulp for $50 buy about 8 to 10 jars of it and here's something else y'all while I was talking about that first off I was talking about that camera I went back to the GoPro cuz you put a GoPro side by side with the DJI and you can just you can see the difference in picture quality now DJI is not bad it's not bad by any stretch but GoPro is better and I I can't verbally I can't explain to you why that is but when you look at it you just see it I can't explain it but I can see it and to me even though the DJI is better in almost every other category it's battery life's better it doesn't overheat it's just the the mounts the that magnetic mounting system they they've come up with genius it's I mean it's it's a great camera but the picture quality isn't as good and the app isn't as good as GoPro gopro's app it's like for instance when I was holding those peacock bass up there on on the front camera mount a little while ago when I go through my footage when like when I'm done filming here and I'm pedaling back to the to the car today I'll pull up the GoPro app and I'll be able to get Ste photos off of that footage through the app DJI you can't do that you can edit videos and get clips and stuff on the DJ here's a fish he thumped it you can do some things on the DJI app but you can't get the photos and then when you get photos off of your computer from the the from the footage the DJI footage they're not as good as the GoPro photos so even though we got problems with the GoPros it's still better I think than the DJI and this fish right here will concur with me another really nice copper noosed bluegill you lay right there and be calm over 9 in y'all look at that man that's nice look at that thing hand size buddy man I love it J how many is that three fish now three fish Gul zero on the Shiner since we've been doing the combo trip I should have been doing this all along well for those of you that waited an hour and a half for me to get my act together here appreciate you sticking around we're going to end up doing better on the gulp today than them $50 shiners as the rain picks up again it was I tell you it wasn't supposed to rain today but by gosh it is thankfully it's a Miss to not a downpour what else was I going to say I was going somewhere and then I remembered the GoPro versus DJI I was going to talk about out and then I got I got sidetracked oh I know what it was it's about these gulps so YouTube has a new feature that they're pushing right now they're wanting us content creators use it's called a YouTube shopping app and historically I have put links to my gear in the video Des they're still in the video description so like for instance if you're interested in Rod or the Gulp or my catfish gear whatever it's linked down the video description you click on that link it takes you to either Amazon or catfish sumo's website you make a purchase after clicking on that link then they kick me back some commissions right that's how the affiliate programs work well YouTube I guess after all these years got tired of people clicking off the YouTube site to go to competitor sites so they've come up with their own YouTube shopping app and these companies oh that's a fish I thought it might have been snagged that's definitely a fish let's see what we'll see what he is right here we'll see if he's ever heard of the YouTube shopping app Blu Gill copper noose this may be the first time this fish is out of the water right now this may be the first time in his life he's ever been rained on what do you think about look boy look at his head if you can see it there if they ain't water all over the lens look at that oh he's gone you couldn't look at it long he said you want to look at his head you going to pay for it by gosh he charges he charges by the minute to look at his head let me see if y'all can look at anything as they water all over the lens more there is let's cleaning off here we'll clean you off best we can I this this rain coming in here we're going to be dealing with it for a little while hopefully it'll pass in a second but uh YouTube shopping feature so they've come out with their own deal now where I think it's eventually going to get to the point where you can click on a link make purchases and stuff without leaving the app which is what they want they don't want people leaving YouTube to go to competitor sites it makes sense so anyway I've tried being a good little boy and using the YouTube shopping feature to link these G minnow but I don't I I'm going to have I guess I end up having to make a purchase myself to figure out how the process works I can't figure out so the the store that has these G minnow through the YouTube shopping feature is called Tackle Direct I can't figure out based on their site if they're selling the packs or the jars cuz when I buy a gulp I and I encourage you all to do this too when you buy them don't buy the packs buy the jars cuz the jars come with more juice now like my peac cups down here I can fish or I can put two gulp minnow jars in one of those peacocks and store them but the the packs don't come with hardly any juice they they dry out and stuff so I can't figure out what Tackle Direct is selling but anyway you'll probably see it popped up on the screen so that little Banner there that's what that is that's a YouTube shopping thing so if you click on that and make a purchase I get some Kickbacks but again I don't know if it's packs or jars that I'm linking there I've got one option to choose from and that's what it is so hopefully over the course of time they'll get more more options on there and more companies to pick from cuz Amazon Amazon has been historically the cheapest place to get G minnos and they're in the jars on Amazon so you can still click on that link down in the video description if you wanted to make a purchase through a link but you should be able to if you got a Walmart or Academy Rural King Bass Pro sporting good store in your area you can just go if you want to buy these Gulf you can get them should be able to get them locally to your to your house there boy this rain is picking up y'all sure wish y'all had packed my rain suit we on vacation we rolling with it that's all you can do we just going to have we're going to have wet drawers today it looks like it's actually with that wind blowing and sitting here soaking wet it's actually a little chilly I got out the car this morning and it's like I said it's real hum humid down here I was sweating by the time I pedal across the lake to get up here where I was starting today but now it's turned a little chilly here we we still ain't got nothing in the last little while on them dang shiners either y'all have you've talked me into wasting a bunch of money on them shiners uh you should have yesterday when I was out here talking about I'm going to get get me some live bait tomorrow you should have talked me out of it if y'all was my friend You' have saved me from making a $50 mistake you would have that's what them shiners have turned into at least we have caught our biggest peacock Bo well all the peacocks we've caught on the shiners have been bigger than on the gulp so we at least got that going for us but still that rain is coming down y'all I hope I hope the I hope the lens ain't covered in water right now we about to I think we going to fish down to this other Dock and we're going to turn and at least then the the rain will be blowing into my back instead of both our faces here need pull up radar see what's going on at least it's just raining and ain't storming it ain't hardly rain back home in Forever This the most rain I've seen in a couple months yeah we'll we'll work down to this other dock we're we're in a canal right now we're actually in a snag right now is where we're at d d it I don't know if I'm going to get this back or no I don't know what I'm in one of the bad things about having these live baits behind you and why I don't do it more often back home is when you're working in and out of stuff and getting snags and whatnot you got to keep an eye on your lines behind you to keep them from getting tangled up crossed up and in your pedal drive and everything else you know we ain't get missing back it's whatever I'm in it's solid down there well crap y'all let's do this we're going to get turned keep them shiners coming behind us here I'm going to clean the water off the lens of this camera so y'all can see and we're going to tie us another another jig head [Music] on about to nail that dog bear with me y'all we about to run our shiners into this dock over here all kinds of technical problems here let's see what y'all got going y'all oh boy y'all covered in water here let's clean that off I'm doing the best I can with it y'all I apologize it's just one of them days I was not prepared for rain today we're going to get us some more jig heads I keep I keep me a little plastic box here with my jig heads and I keep that in my life jacket that way I can keep them back and forth between The Kayaks I had a trip recently I had forgot to take this box out of this kayak and put my other and I lost my last jig my jig head that I was tied on and I went to find that box and it wasn't there I was like you know what now on I'm just going to keep that little tackle box in my life jacket that way it don't matter what kayak I'm in I got it I got it there with me well the bad thing about this morning is y'all we spent some time just trolling shiners that we could have been probably casting and catching some extra fish but and and we're having a hard time filming here in the rain but the good thing is that the rain is probably keeping a lot of the the weekend warrior type people it's probably keeping a lot of them off the water today so we're not covered up with the Wake boarders and jet ski and all them idiots let's put this back on we'll see if we can get turned around here cuz we're we're back here in this canal now you see all these weeds and stuff right here we about to have a hard time I don't know how shallow that Canal is but it's definitely got a bunch of weeds so I think we just going to make the turn and work our way around this other Shoreline that'll allow the rain to blow into my back and we'll hopefully at least be able to keep the camera the lens dry I don't know how the microphone's doing but we'll at least maybe be able to keep the the lens where y'all can see without having to use a squeegee across your phone or your TV set how we doing on it now we need to clean it again we should be good after this woo hard conditions to film in today we making it work y'all where's my phone at too I'm [Music] going we're going to do some hold on a second here y'all let's see where we at here is that where I'm at this thing ain't even picking me up I mean it says I'm right here is that really where I'm at that is not where I'm not in governmental Center parking garage that Dam it let's let's try that again this thing don't know where the heck I'm at there's a rain shower there I guess that's probably what's been on top of us who knows we can't get well we can't even get working radar equipment out here today Lord help us y'all we're making it work though by gosh we're getting it done in the end we're catching us some fish we having some fun we're going to we're going to knock out this trip here get all of our rain and foul weather and equipment problems we're getting all that out of the way now before we go down to the Keys and catch our sharks so it's going to be smooth sailing once we get to the Keys I just know it is we're not going to have any malfunctions down there now what we do have is a boat coming I'm going to get straightened up here that way he don't run over my shiners here behind me as we move along I actually think them shiners may have we're going to have to check them and Men I think they may have gotten Tangled Up In themselves may be in our best interest if we're going to throw this gulp to go down to one Shiner [Music] possibly there's a fish let's reel in one right in front of this boat oh large mouth he spit it look like a bass boat going by it's nice to reel in a would have been nice to land a bass right in front of a bass boat the gulp is out producing the live shiners though man a $5 jar of gulp out producing shiners that cost over a dollar a piece highway robbery I should have definitely been doing this all along I just thought we'll we'll catch a bunch of fish on the shiners won't have to fool with trying to cast and keep everything non- Tangled behind me and well here we are here we are an hour later and we're catching our fish on the G let's just let's see what's going on here with our shiners let's make sure they ain't tangled up together make sure they're still alive and kicking yeah they was tangled up together look at this mess what have's done here we just going to go down we're going to go down to one Shiner rod that's what we're going to do there he went get out of here you old Shiner swimming laps around you friend there he's having pool time with his friend is what he was doing now let's what's reel in this one I'm a lousy fisherman y'all if you if you tuned in today to get expert instruction you out of luck here we just going to that line that leader is all tangled up there and I don't give a crap man I don't I don't give a one diddly dooo crap about it we're going to throw one Shiner out behind us as we troll along two rods is too many for y'all to be watching and keeping up with anyway that's too much to ask of y'all you would probably charge me extra if I made you watch two rods let's get us one here that ain't half dead I stick with the jig head though that seems to be the the ticket on the shiners all right there we go that thing up there all right [Music] now thr this thing back out y'all toss your Shiner back out here that bird over there he's he's never seen a a fisherman like me before he knows I don't he knows I ain't from around here don't you bird you can tell easily I ain't from around these parts y'all are still clear on the screen there good knock on wood it's quit it's quit raining for a second we making the most of it y'all this is fishing man this is real life fishing right here Raw and Uncut unedited you seeing it just like it happens in real life folks any of these other YouTubers you watch that they talk like their doooo don't stink you think they're catching fish all the time nothing ever goes wrong they never cast into a tree or get snagged or get their lines around their their prop their line to you it happens it happens more often than they than you think probably it's just you go fish and things go wrong you go fishing an unedited video by gosh by gosh you going to see it cuz it ain't getting edited out I would have definitely if I was editing today's video I'd have definitely took out the part where I got snagged in the tree then snagged in my prop that's a bad series of events I get done today I'll take my prop off and make sure I ain't got Line run I think I got it out but I'll make sure it's not well I just reeled that dang lure right up to my rod tip my prop I switched out the prop nut that came with the pedal drive I switched it out for one of the noar kayak fishing he makes a a one you can do with your thumbs you don't need a tool just kind of twist on and they float too so if you're checking it on the water and it you drop it you can get it so I got that on there make it easy to easy to check it this afternoon I keep a I keep an extra one of them floating prop nuts I keep some shear pins and I keep an extra prop in this kayak just in case just in case something crazy happens I've never broke a prop but nobody's ever broke a prop until they do it the first time and so if it happens out on the water you want to be able to make sure that you got a way to get back in especially if you're out in the ocean or something now I do have a paddle that I keep with me in this kayak so if I if I have a real emergency with pedal drive where it's just not functioning at all for whatever reason I can paddle back and this kayak paddles really well my other kayak my Hobie it's like a a barge that time my I was fishing a bass tournament there last year and I was pretty good ways away from the launch and my trolling motor remote tore up and I couldn't make it back and I had to I had to end up paddling that thing and it was like a dang barge trying to get back especially going against the wind in that in that Hobie so this one here is at least paddle if need be yeah I know it's just a one of them things it's uh you you out on the water long enough things are going to go wrong I had one time and this is way back I think this was I think this was before YouTube I had my old native ultimate my first YouTube video I'm pretty sure the first clip was in my native ultimate kayak and I had fished out of that kayak for years and I had one day I used to drag that thing everywhere I never used a cart in the bottom the stern kill had gotten so thin on it that one day I eventually just wore a hole through it and I didn't know I had worn a hole through it so I just hopped in it started paddling along well I had a little water at my feet I just you know as a native Ultima as a sit inside kayak and I thought well I just I I just got some water in there I'm shift in my weight it's moved up but as I was paddling along I'm I'm getting more and more water in there and at this point I'm out in like the middle of the of the river Channel and I was like well heck I'm going to have to paddle to shore to take a look see what's going on here is making damn sense to me so I paddle and stupid me instead of turning around and going back the direction I came I went on further over to the other side of the river Channel and I get over there I'm like man I got where's all this water coming from I flip the kayak up and I see the hole it's just a tiny hole and the stern kill the kayak well I'm like crap what am I going to do you know and I start kind of feeling around on the hole very dumb thing to do and I make it bigger so now I have to go paddle back across the Channel with a bigger hole in the kayak thankfully I made it back but that's just one of them things you you fish long enough it don't matter if you're in a kayak a boat whatever here's a fish too you make enough calfs you're going to catch you some fish you spend enough time on the water things going to go wrong so it's best to be as prepared as you can for both and we was prepared to catch this bluegill cuz we was throwing our gulp down through here what we blue G that's another copper nose oh he just took a Swanton head dive right off the top rope I don't think this one's as big as some of his friends he's as honory as him though yeah that in there he's he'll Touch 8 in not as big not as tall as some of his other friends would gotten though I'm happy to get him either way we're going to end up catching some fish today man it's it's been a it's been a slow start for us we've had some malfunctions this morning some difficulties with the rain and the bait shops that don't sell Whopper ploppers and the Walmarts that don't sell Whopper ploppers but in the end y'all we're going to get it done that's what it's it ain't how you start it's how you finish in life people and we're going to finish strong I can't believe we ain't had another anything on them shiners though oh we do too I just said that something something hit him I think something's on there y'all hold on let's let's stick this Rod here see see what's going on here something ate or Shiner something got him he heard it I was just saying I can't believe that and then be dog gone if I didn't hear it and something ate him now let's stick another one on there went a we just gave that fish a a dollar meal it's like the equivalent of the McDonald's hamburger we just gave them there we go there's there's the next one we having a hard time with that lucky lid ain't we you know if we didn't if we wasn't fishing these shiners that' been one less thing I had to pack was that Min bucket right there I was a late I remember I couldn't remember the to bring a Whopper popper but I remembered A Min bucket you imagine I didn't look to see what them things was priced at but if shiners are $15.99 a dozen hell I bet that sty bucket right there is probably $35 y'all do a better job tending to that Shiner Rod now we can't be giving these fish a dollar bait at a time I don't know if y'all having a good time but I am even though I got wet out here and ain't got ain't got as much action on them live baits as I'd hope I'm having a good time it's a nice change of scenery we getting both the peacock bass and the copper noose bluegill two really fun awesome species that we don't have access to at least I don't have access to back home so I'm having a good time out here today we haven't had to we haven't had to have really any interaction with people that's been nice had a close call with that Father and Son combo over there but we avoided it some ofans have asked on these raw and uncut videos for me to do some C fishing trips unedited and I've been considering it and I'm I'm going to get you feed for for the two or three Evans that's still watching to this point in the video I know we lost most people and I went them long stretches without catching fish but for any Evans out there that may still be watching give me some feedback on this idea so I was thinking about for unedited catfish videos you you've often times especially the way I fish suspending baits often times you you often go long periods of time without getting a bite and then you know you sit there 2 hours nothing going on and then boom every Rod's going down for whatever that feeding window is 15 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes whatever and so if I fish four five 6 hours on the water most most of that time not much is going on but I can take the action that I get and edit that down to a 30 minute video give or take right so that's what I normally do if I do unedited videos I'm going to have long periods of time with nothing going on and having long periods of time with nothing going on in one of these type videos is at least we're we're moving we're see things we're making cast things are happening things that things I can talk about but if I'm just sitting on the water with nothing going on I fear it's going to get super boring really quick but what I was thinking about here's the idea I'll pitch to you what if on those unedited videos as I'm snagged over here I had someone with me like you know not some random person that I'm going to have a hard time talking to but like you know somebody I know like a Daniel from Catfish Sumo or you know kayak Mike Ry bort somebody that I fish with and have a rapport with and can conversate with we would still have downtime potentially but we'd be conversating and giving each other hell and stuff and maybe it' be a little bit more entertaining good we got our jig fre you out there good without having to real shinery I was worried we was going to reel that dang thing in but anyway that would be my idea I would pitch to you would the raw and uncut videos have the same appeal to you as if if I was out with somebody else if I was talking to somebody else in addition to talking to you on the camera that would be that would be my idea I would pitch to you and probably the best way to do it would be to test it just do it one time go out there 3 or four 4 hours fishing with somebody next time I fish with Daniel or Ryan or Mike or something and just see how it goes the challenge with doing that when you're fishing with somebody is if they if they say something or do something the they don't want on camera it's like what do you how do you if you're doing an unedited video how do you work around that not that they would but you know you know how it is you say stuff sometimes like for instance if I took Pro moderator if I took him out me and him I mean the stuff we say to each other we' we'd both be cancelled and people would be standing at our house ready to arrest us just hearing him me me and him talk in a normal conversation that would I probably couldn't do that type of video with him we'd be in a lot of trouble but maybe somebody else that's not as not as vulgar as a pro moderator maybe it could potentially work and it would help pass through the time of if you had an hour between bites or longer we'd at least be talking about hopefully something that may be interesting to people these ultral light videos obviously we've had some stretches out here today where where we wasn't getting bit but for the most part most of these most the time if you're out here and you're throwing a gulp you're getting bit pretty consistently you know you don't have a you don't have an hour stretch without a fish being caught but that's that's going to happen regularly on a catfish video so anyway I just thought I'd throw that out there something I've been kicking around as a way to potentially do that type of video I don't know we'll see I mean in theory in theory you could do the unedited version and an edited version so you would have basically one option for both of the audiences the people who like the edited videos better and the people who like the unedited better in theory you could so I'll probably end up trying it I like to try things sometimes sometimes things don't work out sometimes they do and you never know what's going to work until you try it when I first did the unedited V I think the first one I did was I think an hour maybe and it did pretty good so I thought let's try two hours they did really well I thought you know what I'm going I'm going to try a 3 to four hour deal and I and I I was even talking about it on camera the day that I did it like I think there's a good chance that the whole concept could flop I just didn't know if people would set through a three to 4 Hour video of me fishing just unedited I thought there was a real chance that it could the concept could flop you it might get 500 total views or something just nobody would be interested but by gosh that first one I done my most popular my most viewed video in 2023 at least thus far anyway something we got few weeks left here of the year maybe something crazy happens I go viral or something but yeah the concept that I thought had zero chance of being successful I just tried it we'll see what happens and most successful video of the year so you just never know till you try something if you got an idea it's best to give it a shot and if it fails it fails but you don't know till you try same thing with them Stinger flies that I use on my catfish rigs now that fell back home Dewey he really sold me on them flies man I mean he was he was really pushing them things I'd ran into him there a couple times on the water and I ended up uh he had give me some there the he told me me about him once and the next time I saw him he gave me some that he had tied and I was like you know I'm just I don't even though I mean he's I mean dwe is a very good fisherman I was like yeah yeah I just don't I don't think I want to do it but I end up doing it just basically to appease him I thought I'll try it and man those things have been a home run now I don't want to go I got to jig in this tree over here well about put her eye out with it but now I don't even want to I don't even want to go and suspend baits without having to fly on that's how big a Believer I've become in them and that was one of those ideas that I could have very easily talked myself out of if it hadn't been for Dewey I would have never tried it so again you just you just never know so I'll probably end up next time I fish with somebody I'll probably as long as they're cool with it we'll get out to Air and we'll stick a microphone on them and a microphone on me so y'all can hear both conversations and we'll we'll commence the filming by gosh and I do pr listen if you watching these videos that are unedited 3 4 hours long I know some of you watch them straight through other people tell me you'll you'll watch them over the course of a few days you know watch a little bit here and there regardless of how you watch it U I appreciate you I thank you so much for watching whether it's one straight session or over a week's time thank you so much these unedited videos are honestly they're better for me cuz I don't have to edit they take forever to upload the one drawback of these videos is they take the file sizes are so big they take hours and hours to upload to Youtube the last one I uploaded it took around 6 hours to get it to get it to YouTube and it's just it's just one of them things it's just huge file sizes there's nothing much you can can do about it I mean I can I'm kind of limited by my internet speed not really anything I can do to get around that but so because of that I have to film in 1080 versus my edited videos I film in 4 okay if I did a 4K file for these unedited videos my gosh it would probably take probably close to two days to to tie it my internet trying to upload and then God forbid the power Flicker and mess it up they I tell there ain't nothing more frustrating then you're trying to upload a video and power goes out for a sec sometimes that happens in my house like I won't be out for any length of time but it'll just it'll Flicker and everything's got to reset and and once you once you break that upload process on YouTube most of the time it won't pick up where it left off you got to start all over again I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me and boy if it happens on a video that's going to take 6 hours to get uploaded it it's that's frustrating but I do wish I could film in higher quality on these things but maybe someday they figure out a way to shrink the files or if I get a faster internet service here's a fish finally we had a long snap there without them now we got another one see what this is I hope it's another copper nose or a PE do oh what is that I don't know what this is ah I don't know he's got some weird colors he ain't done yet he don't want anybody seeing I don't know what this is this is one of them Exotics oh come here buddy I don't want to lose you what is that yeah this is definitely one of them exotic fish that we don't have back home for sure I don't honestly I have no idea what this is he kind of looks like a bluegill but it's not a Blu Gill hold him down here to look at that I have no idea what that is I'll let you all chime in in the comment box it's got to be some exotic we're going to set him there just a second I want to get the front camera mount for him we're going to get a picture with you fish whether you want to or not this fish said he don't want to take a picture with me he says I don't look nothing like Santa Claus and that's the only person he wants a picture with this time of year look at that is that awesome or what man you just never know what you're going to hook into out here he ate him a gulp though he's fat too man get to get hold of it here let's get a release shot on you fish there he goes he didn't Splash it it's good I hope this rain's done man we we've had enough rain today finally starting to my drawers I feel like they're starting to dry out a little bit or I'm just getting used to it one yeah these exotic fish like this obviously they're invasive but some people say you ought to kill them or take them out whatever but I what are you going to do with them you know I'm out here in the dang kayak I ain't um you know you ain't going to throw them things away at the hotel you ain't supposed to throw fish away at the trash cans at the park here that you launch in what the heck you going to do with them you know I mean oh crap hold on y all done got snagged on your live bait back here hang on minute your live shiners done your shiner's done got hooked and something back here let's go get him but here's the other thing about these invasive species of fish here in these canals and stuff the I don't even know what they're called it's tww back home Tennessee wildwife resource agent whatever whatever Florida's version of that is down here they have stocked some invasives in the water here like peacock bass for instance those are stocked fish even though they they are a non-native species so I don't understand why one invasive is better than another let's check our Shiner we got him back yeah he's still doing okay good I'd hate to throw away another dollar here I got a feeling we're going to be throwing away a lot of dollars when I leave here J for shiners that got eaten [Music] okay all right let's get back on the move here but anyway any of these invasives that I'm fortunate enough to I got to pull my britches up here bear with me got to stand up a minute stretch my legs stretch my back yeah any invasives I catch we catch and releas them by gosh I ain't I ain't throwing these fish in the back of the kayak and throwing them in a dumpster somewhere and I for dang sure ain't going to just slit them open and throw them out here I ain't doing that you know it's a tourist type thing I think it's appealing to have these fish down here honestly I mean let's just let's just throw this scenario out here let's say there were no invasives in here and the only thing that was in this Lake was was bluegill and bass large mouth bass anyway and maybe crappie whatever you know native species let's say you know how many fewer people would fish here I mean I would probably still come down here just for the Blu Gill but all these fishing guide services that are out here for the peacock bass they don't they wouldn't exist because there there wouldn't be an invasive here you know I think there's a lot of people that come here just for the bass and the the clown fish and and stuff like that it's just it's a touristy thing these invasive spe es they bring money into the area people come here fish for them they're they're spending $50 at a rinky dink strip mall bait shop to get them some shiners they're getting they're buying hotel rooms in in Lantana Florida to spend the night so they can come out here and fish in the mornings I mean it is it's boosting the economy to have these invasive species so people can talk about how bad they are for the native species in this ecosystem but heck we've caught Blu Gill bigger than any bluegill I've got at home we've hooked some largemouth bass hooked one that spited there a little earlier and I caught a couple yesterday evening so the bass are doing okay so I I just I like the fact there's invasives in here so we going to let them go now the other invasive species of Florida you want to make the argument they need to be eradicated sure by all means here's fish all them pythons that are eating everything sure by all means do what you got to do with them I think it's the Blu here I think it's another one big old copper nose it is we have done so much better with the gulp than what we have with the shiners we should just been fishing this gulp from start to finish out here today we'll never buy shiners again will we bluegill never we'll never do it again I can't get that thing out give me that jig back would you there we go this a big one right here if he'll allow it we're going to throw him on the board yeah he'll touch 9 in nice man that's another fat one too I mean look how thick look how thick he is I've heard his feelings apparently he's embarrassed about his weight there now he's he he'll never forgive me yeah the pythons and stuff by all means you know do what you got to do to get rid of those things the iguanas I think the iguanas are really cool but again I don't I don't live in a in an area that iguanas could survive so it's not something I see every day the pythons and the other snakes I hate snakes so I I don't want to see any of them but when you see these iguanas up in the trees and walking through people's yards I think it's cool now I don't know what kind of damage they cause they it may be a situation where they're possibly causing damage to people's houses and garages and vehicles and stuff I don't know and if that's the case then you know they ought to be dealt with but these fish they're not hurting nothing they're not hurting the the native species like the bass and bluegill they seem to be thriving so they're bringing tourist dollars in I mean y'all know me I hate spending money I spent $50 there this morning so I done that because of the invasive species if I was just fishing for Bluegill specifically today I wouldn't have bought them shiners i' thrown the gulp but I thought them shiners would give us the best shot at some some bigger peacock bass and well they have caught us a few not many but a few but I wouldn't have bought them if the peacocks weren't in here so and truth be told it's probably why you know they probably know the powers to be they they talk a good game like oh yeah invasives are bad you should remove them blah blah blah but they're probably happy that people are coming here to fish for them and buying fishing licenses all that they're probably happy with it it's probably like wink wink yeah we're trying to do something about it but really they're just they're just collecting that that tax money let's just keep working around through here I don't think I'm going to go back very far into this we'll probably run into weeds back here we'll definitely have trouble turning with our Shiner the further we get back in here in it but we'll turn here and make our way on over keep working along the shoreline working along these docks let see what all we can catch I wish y'all had talked me into throwing this Gul more from the start we undoubtedly we would have caught a lot more fish the areas that we were trolling along not catching anything we would have probably got a bite here and there y'all wouldn't have been as bored out of your minds for the first hour hour and a half of this video next time you'll know I had yesterday I got into the town here and I went to launch my K I noticed you I've got this magnet here I usually keep some jig heads out on I'd had some jig heads on that magnet that I hadn't put up and they had survived the 13-hour drive down here so that magnet Buddy it'll hold them jigs on there of all the kayak accessories I've ever ever added I'm pretty sure the magnet is definitely the best the best accessory the most useful obviously you need things like rod holders if you're going to go catfishing but for just luxury items on the kayak things you don't have to have but things that improve the functioning of your day definitely the best accessory yeah we're going to make our turn right here I'm not going to go back in this canal we'll have to reel in our Shiner if we do we turn we'll make some cast right here on this Dock and then we'll work our way on around more exposed that wind was supposed to pick up today I it is blowing a little bit but it's supposed to be some high winds we're going to be the way it's blowing right now we're going to be more Exposed on this side of the lake over here but if it does pick up we could go back to the other side and be in theory be shielded if it keeps blowing this direction so I think we're going to be able to function pretty well out here today looks like it's clearing up a little bit too it's still cloudy but it's clear off clearing off in the other direction so maybe the rain is about done yeah y'all I mean the first yesterday wasn't even full day just two hours on the water out here this morning I mean so far man my trip South Florida road trip adventure 2023 Edition it is off to a good start big Blu Gill some peacocks keep the momentum going tomorrow hopefully get some sharks it's going to be be a great trip y'all been looking forward to it for so long it's all coming together got a great deal of the place I'm staying at in the keys 800 bucks for the whole week it's a two bedroom two bath it's like a basically a condo if you will like a little small it's small I mean You' got two bedrooms two baths a little living room dining room kitchen combo area like room all you need though I mean h I ain't going to spend that much time in there anyway yeah 800 bucks for the whole week it was somebody's time share they couldn't go and so they put it up for rent and so 800 bucks if you've never been down to the Florida Keys I will tell you it is if you just try to get a hotel down there it is ridiculously expensive I mean ridiculous hotels down there will run you 2 to 300 a night you can stay at campgrounds they're well over $100 a night to pitch a tent down there it's ridiculous it's just very very expensive area so to get a whole week in a nice place for 800 bucks and it's a this Resort it's a it's got a pool it's got uh its own dock there's a boat launch there I mean it's got everything I need now I'm going to probably I'll probably fish there a couple days if the wind is up if the wind is too much for me to go down to the the bridges but not so not blowing so hard that I can't fish I'll probably fish right there around the resort and last last year it's the same Resort I stayed at there with Elias last year I hooked that Hammerhead 100 yards off the the beach right there at the resort so there's some sharks right there on the and around the resort and we saw some too swimming around the dock we saw stingrays we saw Dolphins there I there's a ton of activity in that area by The Resort so I'll fish there some but I really want to focus if the weather's good I want to focus on them Bridges cuz that's where the bulk of the shark activi is going to be there's so much life around them Bridges everything's just hanging out around them Bridge columns the concrete there it's got all kinds of algae and muscles and all that growing on it and it's just it's a fish Haven I got to have some reasonably calm wind days to get down there cuz what I don't want to do is have a big shark tow me out a long ways and then be out in a dangerous situation with high wind so got to be careful from that standpoint but surely over the course of the week going to have at least 2 3 4 days of just perfect weather even if it's not all day there should be Windows of time that I can get out there and make it work I'm going to have to bust out the shades again y'all hang on a second I got to find my sunglasses that Sun's popped out it's blinding me over here y'all get your shades on too cuz it's going to hurt your eyes looking into the sun like this this bird over here I don't know what he's wanting from me no don't eat that Min bird Bird's the Word as PB Herman said you get on bird I wanted to make a cast here toward this side of the dock that bird ain't going to let me do it he thought I was trying to feed him I reckon I hope that Shiner behind us don't swim along too close to him he'll get it yeah this wind is definitely more of a nuisance on this side of the lake we may end up we're going to work these docks down through here we may end up switching back over and throwing the G through them areas that we were just initially trolling the live bait only through will be a little bit more protected over there from the wind that is the one big drawback efficient ultral light and light lures yesterday I was throwing a 164 ounce jig Hadad today 132nd but even still 132nd it's just if you're in Wind you're going to you're going to have the wind blow a bow in your line you're going to have a hard time feeling light bites that wind is going to push your bait too you cast and that wind's hting it's going to move your bait so ultral light fishing definitely better on minimal to no wind days but so far we've been pretty lucky with the Wind from what they were forecasting compared to what we're getting anyway we got unlucky with the rain that wasn't called for but lucky with the wind fishing guides are out them fishing guides over there is fishing something deep I think they're fishing toward toward the lake there's another boat going beside them over there too I assume they're fishing guides hell they could be just regular people when I launched today there was some guides out there at the launch waiting on their customers to show up so I'm filming this on a Saturday so I imagine and fishing guides back home Saturday's about the only day they can book A book a client the rest of the week when I see them fishing guides out at the house there they just they by themselves they'll make you think from their Facebook post they're busy all the time but they're always fishing alone every time I see them I need to call up my I got one guide friend most of them fishing guides back home hate my guts and I hate them but I got one friend who's the fishing guy mark from Deuces Wild Fishing Charters and him and I usually fish together a few times a year and I ain't fished with him I ain't fished with him in about a year probably more than a year probably so I need to I need to reach out to him he'd be a good one to do a unedited video with cuz he's not going to say something he'll say something stupid but he it won't be vulgar stupid and get me canceled I'm having a hard time all of a sudden in this wind y'all it's wanting to turn the kayak here I've got to fish though no he spit it I'm having a hard time the kayak always wants to spin into the wind and it's blowing this direction I think I think what we're going to end up doing here is I want to hit these other docks down through here if I can and then we're going to switch to the other side it don't look like it's going to with the forecast way it was I doubt the wind is going to lessen it probably get worse through the morning but I don't think it's going to slack off so I would like to hit these docks through here yeah I need to call up Markin let see I ain't seen him post much lately I don't know if he's been running trips as much as not he's got a in addition to being a fishing guide he's also got a martial arts school I know that takes up a lot lot of his time so I don't know if he's ran as many trips lately because of that but either way I need to reach out to him I'm bad about keeping in touch with people even if it's people I like people I'm friends with and stuff I'm I'm terrible about it I just don't I just don't keep up with people like I should it's because I'm antisocial if I was more of a people person I'd you know Pro moderator for instance he calls people every day he's a phone caller too he don't do a lot of Tex and he'll call you it's very obnoxious there was something up there well there's something right here splashing in front of us going try to work this bait near the surface see if we can we're going to blow right past it unfortunately this wind's pushing us pushing us too fast I was hoping we could hook whatever that was splashing right there oh I got him too by gosh I got him whatever he was whatever he was chasing bait right there we just hooked him we had we had about two shots at him because of the wind what is it oh it's a peacock yeah peac oh oh don't get in that paddle there buddy cut the line come here peacock come in here nice peacock on the gold get the shiners has got us the better quality peacocks but the gulp is catching them too and more fish oh oh he's ready to go hopefully that Shiner is going over there right there where he was if he had some friends with me just maybe maybe just maybe one of them will eat that Shiner a lot cheaper for them to eat the gulp then the $1 shiners dollar and change that you get one fish out of I got another fish right here we're on some right here man that's two cast in a row we caught a fish that ain't happened all morning we're streaking y'all oh that's a Blu Gill man how awesome is this y'all back to back cast you get a peacock bass and a huge bluegill I mean is this awesome or what not too many places in the world you can do that right there get all bumps on him I really want to I want to Circle back through I want to Circle I thought something hit my I thought something would hit my live bait we're going to circle back around y'all I want to work this weed bed here again and this other dock there's clearly some fish here and this wind is blowing in on it the wind ain't our friend but it is blowing right into this area so maybe that's helping St bur some stuff up and get the bait moving in over here where my I know where my shiners at I hope I'm not about to cast over that line that's all we needs to be another tangle today people ask me all the time about this just why don't you throw out a live bait while you throw in the Gulp and I just honestly I don't like fooling with it more than anything just you get snagged you got to work around stuff H I just don't like doing it I'm kind of back home like if I know I'm throwing this Gulp and I'm going to catch what's there with it I don't really feel a need to throw something else extra out here today got another fish right here I do have more confidence today in catching a bigger peacock with the live bait than I do the gulp but this this peacock right here he is wound up man come up here peacock that's two peacocks right here on this weed bed Lord I couldn't get my hook out of there nice okay think let's uh we got to fight the wind here a second and we're going to fix our Gul back just going to flip it upside down here boy that thing's all T I'm going to see if I can get another one on this Gul I think here in a second though I'm going to put a Shiner on this jig head and toss it over think that's what I'm going to do we'll see if we can get another Fisher to on the gulp here but there definitely some right here on these weeds we're just going to have a hard time controlling our position with the wind blowing in on this there one little Club pump of weeds right there I don't know if it's anchored on bottom or if it's I guess it's moving throw everybody them PVC pop things too all right let's try this I need to switch this gulp out anyway so before we do let's put our dollar and chain Shiner on and throw it over there and just work it like a let it swim around work it back to us see what happens there are other ones back there behind us somewhere I need to take that camera mount down too it's in my way I'm just going to let him swim around do his thing right there he's right over there on the edge of them weeds so them over here by them PVC ppes you'd think it'd just be with him just hitting that water and swimming all erratic you'd think they'd be all over him not so much though okay well if at first you don't succeed try and try again let's spin back around I got to be careful this time cuz our live bait on that Rod is still I hope he's still on the hook but I don't want to cast Over The Line for sure can't see where that Line's at either let's do this need to just make sure he's even on there he may be gone he's snagged and something's what he is oh golly bum oh he's in them weeds over there y'all y'all let him swim into the weeds what'd you do that for goly bum boy y'all have done it this time any fish that's over here they a going to be spooked off cuz y'all why'd you let him swim into them dang weeds for yeah their brains can't be but just a they're as big as a little a little speck of dirt boy they're smart they know exactly they know exactly where to go to get themselves in a mess look at this I see him right there he's still on the hook now I'm going to get my other one over there hung while I'm trying to deal with this one goodness gracious yeah score this one here for the blooper real too now there goes the Shiner okay all right we got that done boy now I got weeds all in my prop I can feel them they're in bad shape let me just throw this thing over here a second time let's toss him over there by that dock a second while we get our weeds up this prop Drive boy look at that mess weeds everywhere okay all right I think that's good enough let's get that Clum too oh that's a lot of weeds all right now let's get a rod here I probably spooked all them fish when I went over there to get that other Shiner but I'm still I'm going to just swing back by here a second and cast this one just see what happens I think I'm going to let the wind push us we'll cast this thing out and we'll keep him on the edge of those weeds as the wind pushes us back we'll try that a cast and see see if we get anything see if we get lucky right here y'all had one one task don't let that dang Shiner swim in them weeds and what did you do you let him swim in the weeds I I I I don't know why I can't depend on y'all for nothing y all got to get it together we catching some fish today regardless though ain't we we we getting it done in the end bluegill peacocks some fish I have no idea what they are that one was fat the one looked like a bluegill he was cool I don't have a clue what he was was though we're just letting this wind just push us back here a second oh oh oh I was in a weed all right let's stay over here at just dock with him you'd think him hitting that surface like that would get some attention to them fish over there but them bluegill I mean even them big copper no I don't know that they could eat a Shiner that big the hook is small enough they can get the hook no problem but that shiner I'm called on the edge of the dock now I don't know about I don't know if they could eat that Shiner or not spin around this wind is it's very much a nuisance right now it's just hard enough to make things a little bit difficult to fish over here now once we go to the other side over there we'll be fine we'll be shielded the way it's blowing right now the direction and angle of it is creating some problems for us I'll tell you what I want to do though is I want to go back over here that whole stretch there that we were working them shiners where I wasn't casting I want to hit that again cuz that one bank over there by that tree we that's where we got that first peacock at so we know there's some fish over there and I caught fish over there last night so I want to hit that again where I'm casting and working the live bait we're we only got this one other dock over here let's go hit it let's hit it and then we'll make our make our move over here I'm going to wait to put a well I'm just going to toss this one we'll toss this Shiner right here around this dock couple times and then we'll make her move then I'll put another Shiner on the back Rod one back Rod this time I can't count on us to watch two rods you won't watch one let alone too so all right they got them an owl on their dock looks like they got trees growing out the end of it too nature will find a way w't it if a seed lands in a crevice like that it'll just find a way to grow what the hell have they got going on in their yard is that a cell phone tower they're trying to talk to aliens from their backyard right there y'all look at that look at that antenna they've put up I mean they've that's a I mean that's one hell of a construction right there I mean they they trying to reach a AM FM station across the country with that thing come on Shiner conjure us up something nothing all right then here's what I'm going to do right quick y'all we're going to put him back in the bucket well I've casted him around right there and he's he's about had it we'll let him go we need something more lively than that I'm going to take down this front camera man again get it out of the way move it then we're going to make a run over here y'all you come with me while we run if any of you are even still watching this point we'll just go right back over here where we started at today I kind of want to go hit that other dog where I got them last night but we didn't get any this morning but I definitely want to work this area where we got that first peacock bass I want to throw a jig through there if I can I think we're going to be okay with the Wind on this other side over here I hope we are anyway if this wind if it gets worse we're going to have a hard time throwing that Gulp and that gulp's paid off for us we're getting way more fish on the gulp than we are the shiners right now the better quality come on the shiners but the bulk of the action and all of the bluegill which I I know there's going to be people out there to be like Justin why are you so excited 13-hour drive to go catch some bluegill but you just I I like Blu Gill we don't have these copper noose strain bluegill at home and they just get so much bigger I mean we ain't caught one yet all of these copper noos down here they're all 8 in and tall some of them bigger than that you know last night had over nine inches to catch if I go if I'm fishing back home public water an 8 in bluegill is a good quality fish down here I mean that's just that's just a that's just average down here you know so or we got ski Boer coming through right here full speed this I mean people fly these big boats I don't understand it this is way too small Lake for these bigger boats you'd think they'd have and I know this is Florida so it's a you know do whatever the hell you want to State nobody cares but like you would think a lake this small would have horsepower restrictions like if you had a a 10 horsepower restriction or an electric only type deal with this Lake this would be paradise out here but like yesterday damn wake border going right by you like you can't even you can't even get these boats up to full speed in this Lake because you you just it's not big enough but yeah y'all super excited to be catching all of these copper nose and hopefully going to get a few more today I wish there was a lake back home close drive or where we had access to these but they're just unfortunately we just don't at least not that I know about anyway there's probably some people that have them in ponds and stuff but public water that I can have access to I don't know if any we're going to run right here we're going to start at this Dock and we're going to we're going to do our same combo here one rod with Shiner off the back while we throw our Gulp and hopefully we're going to hook into Lord we got some people out up here I'm going to have to if y'all hear me talking a little lower it's cuz I don't like talking on camera around people you know how I am okay let's get us a gulp on and then we'll bait up with our Shiner and we're going to be back in the game I think that piece of metal I put in my peup is turning the gulp shoes a different color I had added a piece of metal inside the cup so that the cup will stick to that magnet down there so I lost a peac cup it bounced out of the kayak a couple weeks ago so I'm trying to come up with a way to never have that happen again you don't want to show up to the lake expecting to use Gulp and a peup and peac cup not be there kind of ruins the trip okay let's let's get us another Shiner on this rig what it help if I give myself some line but goodness gracious I got to get it together here okay let's see how our shiners are doing some of them still doing okay that n's dead I need to throw him out seems like when one dies they all start to die tell you dollar and something piece out a last these ought to be the longest living shiners of all time I'm going take them back in there ask for a refund tell him he sold me some defective shiners tell him tell him he needs to be selling some Whopper ploppers in there too by gosh okay toss that out now we ready to fish again yeah the wind over here so much better we are definitely shielded from it better here we're going to have a lot easier time casting that is the challenge doing this style of fishing is if on a windy day is boat control in a kayak cuz kayaks are very lightweight and it don't take a strong wind to really get you moving yeah I feel like we rebound we've rebounded pretty good from the start from really just limited bites there first thing with the live bait only feel like I've recovered pretty well here and got a several fish Lord these Birds going to crap on my head no he look at the they're over there trying to get that Shiner I threw out let's see if one can get it oh oh that one did hopefully now they move along I don't want to get crap on my head I don't mind getting rained on I don't want to be crapped on you quit flying over here bird I'm done feeding yous now boy now that bird right there he looks like he got a mohawk he thinks he's going to get fed now words out buddy they done told all their friends they got a free meal out of me now they all want something last night we got on some them copper no over here we didn't get nothing when we started here this morning and so far nothing right now ain't going to stop me from trying though boy what a terrible cast that was I'd have edited that one out if we were editing today y'all are lucky that you ain't here with me actually casting cuz I promise you as many Bad cast as I've made y'all would have made one or two Bad cast yourselves by now as long as we've been out here but y'all get to be saved from the embarrassment I don't this ain't much happening here at this doc we'll keep moving along I had old you remember about hearing from Miss morning we had a wager in Las Vegas y'all supposed to place your bets who was going to get a fish first me or that Heron and I ended up beating him I was I mean I was like Buster Douglas against Mike Tyson huge Underdog scored The Knockout I can't believe that Heron's even showing his face around here again after what I've done to him today embarrassing him like that showing him up him being a professional and all I I think I've proved out here today I am far from a professional I'm I'm lucky to be called an amateur with all my incidents today getting snagged and lying around my prop and all that bird right there I guarantee he's never got line around his prop before he's giving me the stink ey over there is what he's doing he's trying to intimidate me it ain't working I know I own him now once the champ gets knocked off it just loses their they lose their luster you know it's like Mike Tyson when he got when he got beat by Buster Douglas he wasn't never the same he was just dominant everybody feared him but then once once Buster Douglas huge Underdog had zero zero chance of winning once he beat him it was just it was over just like it is for that Heron and he knows it he knows it buddy he's gone he's going to go to that other yard now but I'm coming over there too Heron you just keep moving Buster do I wonder if Buster Douglas is still alive I wonder how much he got paid for that fight you got to figure he probably Mike Tyson probably even though he lost probably got the biggest biggest part of the Payday for that fight just for taking it boy it if if Buster Douglas bet on himself though with the odds like they were he would have got paid big that's a talking bird over there they over there laughing to herens what they're doing birds talk smack like I do with the few friends that I have there is a huge huge difference in the Wind on this side versus the other what a diff I mean it's night and day difference I don't know if it's going to affect our bite at all but so much easier to control the kayak and be able to cast and stuff over here there was fish here last night I remember them catching them right here in front of this silly artwork that people have in their yard how much you think they paid for that that dog and I think there's a cat over here on this side I'm pretty sure that's considered art by the sophisticated I bet you that thing probably cost a few th000 I don't even know what it's made out of it looks silly that one's definitely a dog and that one over there is a cat I mean what's the I mean what is the thought process well you got a you got a beautiful piece of property here on Lake Ida you got beautiful palm trees they got a looks like a pool up there you got a nice nice view of the lake and somebody's like you know I think I want to put just a weird dog and cat sculpture right in the middle of our view that's painted all sorts of different colors like what I mean what is the thought process on that I mean look no judgment for me it's your property you do whatever the hell you want but I'm just saying like when I look out my if I lived in that house and that bird over here grees with me if I lived in that house and I'm looking out that window I could think of a million things what is this is this a fish I'm pulling in something I don't think it's fish what is this I've caught a dag on coconut look right how about this catch buddy oh I just put that hook in my finger too I lost my coconut the coconut spit the hook that's the catch of the trip right there that's the Catch of the Day coconut even them birds come over watch me reel that thing in they ain't never seen anybody reel in coconut before he's strutting his stuff buddy I don't know what they're saying but they got a lot to say there's so much activity going on here with these birds there I mean everywhere all different kinds of birds it's a bird watchers Paradise down here then people in this house would probably see more of the birds F have them stupid dog and cat sculptures in their yard they must really like dog and cat artwork I bet they got a Picasso inside that house I think he was a famous painter of some kind I don't know if he ever painted a dog or a cat picture but if he did he they probably got it hanging up in there well this section over here just hasn't produced today like it did last night we'll keep moving along here looks like a some lands escapers over here too I don't want to be talking on camera around them we may move along and get over here by this tree where we got that peacock first thing oh I got a oh I had a fish we finally hooked one right here in front of this Dock and I lost him the good thing is these landscapers even if I am talking on camera around them I don't think they're going to understand I think they're HBL espanol I bet these landscaping business with all these fancy houses and stuff I bet they stay booked solid I bet you everyone of these landscaping companies for making money hand over fist I've done got myself hunging something here y'all watch this line behind me make sure we don't get it tangled in something as we try to work this thing for AIC back up I don't want to run over this line if we run over this this line again that's going to be super embarrassing once as an accident twice as pattern it's like me on a catfishing live stream where I get line on my troller motor prop I've done that a couple times yeah I bet this landscape I bet they got this whole neighborhood let me get turned around here wind is pushing me sideways we're going to work all the way down this Bank though with this Gulp and running that Shiner behind us them clouds are burning off and the sun's come out now it's getting hot I'm completely dried out I tell you when I was when it was raining it's hardest this morning and I was soaking wet down to my skes and that wind was blowing it was a little bit chilly for a second I got a little cold but it's hot as hot as damn it now I'm have to bust out some sunscreen gream today oh boy here comes the here comes the main event folks look right here look right there oh my gosh there's two of them we were doing so well the the sun come out and here they come we didn't see them out here in the rain this morning did we nope but boy that that rain stops and the Sun comes out they're out in full force we got lawnmower man over here now we got everybody Mak an appearance on this video even a coconut you believe I reeled in that coconut I wish I could have landed that thing that have been a that I'd have had that thing [Music] mounted I would have at least got a picture with it for sure I would have done it that that would have been on the Instagram I don't know how a coconut managed to spit the hook but by gosh it did I think what I'm going to do I'm going to make my way on around this same path that we went on uh at least through at least through the areas where we were only using the shiners and work the Gulp and I think after that I'm going to go back to the the other side of the lake and try to use those those shiners over there along them weeds that I was fishing yesterday I kept throwing the the Gulp and I kept getting caught in the weeds but if I can work farther on out in the lake with them shiners and maybe run them above above them weeds we might catch something over there I definitely want to fish this area through here first that first peacock we got through here he was on the Shiner on the right side of the Kake that was further out could cast up there a little further out and see what happens I think if I lived here at this place I I well I'd definitely climb that tree just just to climb it but I think I'd get up there at the fishing pole in that tree and try to just try to just reel in a fish you could use a cane pole up there just hang out on that branch and drop your bait over into the water and catch you something probably you could probably get up there above them and see them looking straight down oh there's an right there on that on the bank that Sun's brought them out finally I guess is a little cold this morning too with the the rain and all here comes Lawnmower Man y'all we were doe for a lawn mower man or a leaf blower man I guess they had to wait till it quit raining too iguana he's just sitting there he's looking at y'all buddy he's got his eye on you he knows what you're up to uana is doing a better job of watching that back Rod than y'all are that there ain't very colorful though he's just kind of he almost Blends in with the grass he probably Liv in that tree you climb a tree like that you all will see iguanas and snakes up there you climb up that thing I just can't believe the difference last night to today in this area that dock over there didn't produce us any F any copper nose like I mean they were I got three or four copper noose on that dock last night and they are completely gone today and we were seeing fish chasing stuff through here last night nothing going on so far well other than that peacock this morning but otherwise nothing through here what a difference I guess these F right there was something something swirled right there I wonder if there's any carp in here I didn't bring any kind of carp Gear with me on this trip but that would be very interesting I'm going to I I need to make a note to myself to remember that to research to see if there's any carp in here can you imagine the car the size they would be if they were in here that would be interesting if they're in here for future trips maybe maybe spend a few hours one day on a future trip just fishing off the bank you could do that right there from the launch and throw out some C baits and see what's going on with this many weeds in this Lake I would bet it's a carp fishing Paradise if they're in here I don't know how that would work with the carp if they would I assume they would Thrive but the invasives I I would think they'd be okay I mean hell the bass and bluegill and everything else has been okay with the invasive so surely the carp would be too this ain't much happening through here there's another coconut over there floating along the shore if I could snag that one I don't know anything about coconuts I assume they're probably like bananas and that there's different varieties but a lot of these palm trees down here have coconuts all in them we need a fish y'all you think that sun coming out is or later in the morning now obviously and the sun's peaked out you wonder if that's helping or hurting our CS it was a sunny day yesterday afternoon and we were catching fish but it was of course it was later in the in the afternoon there's a bird up there in that tree right there he's right on Water's Edge I guarantee he's stalking something he's waiting on a on a fish to make make a wrong move and he's going to be all over him like him seagulls eating our Shiner I hope our Shiner speaking of Shiner I hope he's still on our back Rod back here y'all supposed to be that's your all's responsibility you're supposed to be keeping an eye on it I'm counting on you don't let me down you know I mean when we finish this up today we're going to to have started so slow we're going to have ended with several f in the end I mean not it's not going to be obviously 100 fish day like some of my unedited ultral light videos back home mean sometimes back home I get on them you get on a tree that's stacked with bluegill and you can really wear some fish out just one fish after another and there's been some trips like that where I've had days of 50 to 100 fish on a 3-hour video but today's not going to be like that but I I don't know how many we've caught but we've I feel like we've caught several fish there once we started throwing the gulp again I'm going to leave here happy today with the fish I've caught I'm going to be lighter in the wallet after buying them damn shiners that we didn't need but they did get us the biggest peacock bass so far so there is that the there's that's the glass half full way of looking at things we wouldn't have got those fish otherwise now maybe if IID had me a top water plug maybe we would have busted one on the top water cuz I would have for sure thrown the top water for the first hour or so out here this morning once I got on the water I wish I could have got out here sooner that bait shop it didn't open to 6:30 and thankfully it was close so I could you know get there and get over here in a timely manner but still I'd have liked to been out here I'd lik to have hit the water about 6:00 this morning and made my run up here so that as soon as it started getting light I'd have been [Music] casting but that's all right we've made the most of it either way definitely does seem like the bite is slowed down a little bit here for us whether it's just the area we're fishing or time of day or whatever definitely not getting as many bits through this area and I've probably spent a little too much time here just for the fact we did well yesterday here I've Got Confidence in it that's one thing about when you when you fish a new body of water if you're fish in your home lake or something you you've got a lot of experience on you build confidence over time and so you kind of know where areas are going to work and versus areas that ain't going to work and types of places and stuff like that you go somewhere new you kind of have to start fresh and and it kind of on one hand you have no experience at a place so you're kind of limited but you're also I feel like it can be beneficial because you're you're you've got an open mind you don't have any preconceived notion about what you should be doing or where or when you can just go out and go fishing and see what happens and so that's kind of what happened here last night I just started fishing and we started on the other side of the lake and wasn't doing any good and we come over here and we got bit and they say well this is where we need to be for today but one thing about this gulp technique I mean you catch fish everywhere with it so you can literally take this to any Creek any Pond any Lake any River and you may not have a lights out day with it as as evidenced by me when I went to Del Hollow recently I just got a handful of fish but I didn't get skunked I did catch some fish you usually catch fish with this everywhere you go just having a hard time through this little stretch here it was over through here though that we got to another peacock cuz we got um we got it was down that tree down there I think we got our we got our Shiner snagged in while we was reeling that other one in we are a little bit more exposed to the wind now that we've rounded this this corner here I'm definitely going to fish the other side of the lake though today a little bit just spend a little time on it see what happens unless I get over there and there's ski boats and wake borders everywhere and I'll probably come back over here here make a run down one of these canals them fellas that was over bank fishing earlier they they give up on it I reckon they must not they must not have been catching them we at on time here all way over y'all been F if You' stuck it out with me this long you've been with me a long time today probably cut this thing off here in a little while just to keep it a reasonable I don't of course I I say I doubt anybody watch a five six hour video but somebody might I don't know I'll have to try it sometime it probably ain't going to be day I think I'll probably we'll probably film here a little while longer and I'll probably when I move over the other side of the lake I'll probably just fish off camera I guess maybe get me a little me time maybe today this is vacation however so I might as well get a little off camera time I guess fishing's the same for me whether the camera's rolling or not but y'all you all probably be over it after 4 hours or so don't let me forget too here's one thing we do have to do today before I leave I need to get a thumbnail I need to get some kind of picture for the video from yesterday afternoon and I need to get one for today don't let me forget to do that before I leave I hope the video from yesterday don't get pulled off YouTube because of the the music playing from that wake border he was blaring that music and I I fear I'm going to get hit lawn more man's up there on a zero turn I got me one a couple months ago one of the best purchases I've made let's let's run over here in this little pocket get away from lawnmower but we got weed eater man on down there too working the other sidewalk there let's go over here we'll make a little run over here these other docks yeah I got me a zero turn a couple months back I got a Scag 52 in zero turn that thing will fly I had a prior to that I had a John Deer just a rid Mower and boy you talk about a difference in speed and being able to to turn the the Turning is what saves you a lot of time on the Zero Turn you know a normal ride mower you got to kind of swing out to make your curves but a zero turn you can just spin it around and you good so it's saved me a ton of time I've been I've been using it to mulch up leaves with I bought it in the season to save a little coin on the on the price I saved about $1,000 probably more than that truth be told I I got about $1,000 off the the retail price but if mowers are like everything else when the 2024 models come out here they'll probably be more expensive than the 2023 models so I probably saved $11,000 off 2023 plus plus whatever the difference is in the the increase in price when they go up which you know they will nothing nothing goes down in price in 20123 everything's up even even shiners $159 n dozen highway robbery they're taking advantage of tourist down here that's a pretty cool tree that's in the water right there I wonder if somebody planted it like that or if that was just natural and just happened guess that's a I assume that's a cypress tree I'm no arborist I think that's a Cyprus Tree they got a bunch of them over in Santi Cooper in South Carolina that's another place I need to get back over there and fish at some point heck of a Fisher beautiful country over there big fish in there too caught some good ones over there it's about it's right at about 6 hours from my house it's a reasonable Drive I think if I lived if I was within 6 hours of the ocean I would probably fish salt hot water most of the time but living as far away as I do it's it's kind of it's a commitment thing you know I can't just go for a weekend I got to make arrangements and be gone for a while to justify driving 13 hours each way be longer than that once we get down to the Keys about 14 I think is about a little over 14 hours to get to the Keys now it' be longer coming down because I've kind of cut over to come here and then going down now when I go back home I'll just be going straight up I'll be going I'll be going different roads so it'll save me a little time on the way back but still it's still a commitment when you when you're driving that far you ain't just going down there for a day or two you know what I mean like you going down there for a a week at least but if I was within 6 hours I'd be fishing the ocean regularly man we our bite has just died y'all I I don't know what's up can't get the shiners eat we can't get our gulp eat I'm going to blame time of day well I I need to blame y'all is what I need to do that's what that's what I need to blame y'all ain't reeling them in right now either unless you somewhere watching this video while you reeling them in somewhere that's a possibility I've had people tell me that that they watch my videos while they're out fishing CU maybe you all are reing them in you need to teleport through through this screen make some cast cuz they ain't they ain't wanting to buy it for me I'm going to fish around these docks here this morning with all them other fish kind of busting over here between these other two docks I definitely want to hit them again now I think after that I'm probably going to make a run to the other side of the lake there was something under that dock Over Yonder I'll sneak on back over there to that if I can I saw something come up twice over there I don't know how shallow that is there was definitely a fish over there I seen him let's see if we can get a cast up under there where he was at yeah that's was back there where he was I don't want to go too much closer closer to it cuz again we got that D Shiner off the back I don't we end up having to back up and run over my dang line nothing man let's try it one more time well it's not I guess I nailed that that Cross Beam I can't cast for dly doooo let's go over here maybe yeah let's uh hold on y'all let me look and see where this Line's at okay I think we're good for now I ain't trying to run over at line no more man I'm telling you that's that's embarrassing y'all don't let me get embarrassed out here you saw me about to embarrass myself earlier and you let me do it I'm telling you you you ain't as good friends to me as what you let on letting me make a fool of myself like that come on Bessie let's get turned here there we go there we go go oh crap crap got that jig over that piece of rope right there there it come there a piece of rope them jigs are going to find it every time they love to get snagged in that twine yeah right in here this morning there we saw them fish busting in between these docks I don't know if he's anything here now or not but that's where we seen some old Mastercraft boat palm tree right there's got some coconuts in it too that no's got a bunch of them I don't know how many how many coconuts grow on a average palm tree I mean them D things are pretty big like if you was standing under that tree and one of them fell out and bonked you on the head I wonder this would be interesting to know cuz you know what I guarantee it happens statistically speaking over the course of a year like how many people die every year from getting hit in the head from a falling coconut you know somebody does like the number is not zero I promise you it's not every year there's a it's a it's a statistic somewhere people die from getting bonked in the head from falling coconuts undoubtedly it's been a long while since we've caught a fish now I'm want I'm going to just assume it's time of day or the fact that that sun come out the fish we were getting was when it was still kind of still kind of Cloudy y'all better be watching out for them falling coconuts as this wind picks up through here I bet you too this them coconuts falling down on people's boats and the roofs of their docks and stuff like that I bet that could cause some damage too that wind here we're getting hit with this wind again I'm going to have a hard time this afternoon I think I'll probably be more exposed to it there on the other end of the lake but I at least want to try it there's another Canal on on the other side of the lake it's pretty close to the launch I'm probably going to go check it out should be able to hide from the wind there depending on which direction it's running let's make one more cast right here oh I think so I had a Tap maybe I was feeling things a little ghost bite right there it felt like something tapped me tell you what I'm going to do I'm going make another cast over there now whatever tapped me just talk me into another cast that same spot no such luck well let me set this down sec I'm going to see what's going on with the Shiner here I'm going to Real him in he's been swimming all over creation down there ain't called us a Nery fish luckiest Shiner alive to survive this long he's still on there yeah he ain't he ain't doing no good you got to swim around Shiner to be able to catch or something he's dead he switch him out yeah y'all I think when I'm going to do I'm going to make a run over here to the other side of the lake and just see what's going on over there the bite the bite over here seems to have kind of died off it wasn't one fish after another at any point out here this morning but we were getting fish especially once I started throwing the gulp there I felt like we were getting them pretty consistently it seemed like well it's been a while now since we got a fish did we even get one when I Swit back over to this side did we even I don't know that we even caught a fish since I moved back over here to this side but um either way I'm going to go hit the other side of the lake see what's going on if I can fight the wind I'll try it if not I'm going to run back to that other Canal but we've been running what we've been doing here almost 4 hours on this video here so y'all probably over it by now so I think what I'm going to do cut the camera off maybe get me a little off camera time I definitely need to pee and I need to hide hydrate I need to do that in a bad way I sit here and I talk to you all just on and on and on I'm not I not hydrate and uh y'all definitely don't want to you don't want me to have this camera rolling while I'm peeing out here in the middle of the lake somewhere one thing about having to go on the water out here is there's nowhere like you ain't getting no privacy like back home you can at least find some areas far enough out in the lake where somebody's going to need a telescope to see what's going on which has happened by the way my longtime viewers know this there was a fell I was fishing on on the lden fort lden back home and I got a message this is back when I still had a a business page Facebook business page and a fella sent me some pictures through there he had saw me from his house he lived on on the lake and he had saw me out there and he had a fancy lens he could put on his camera and he took some pictures of me out there on the lake from a long distance of and real nice of them do that I mean they were good pictures and all but ever since then I was like man you got to watch where you drop your drawers at cuz somebody's going to be taking a look from these houses and out here today buddy if they if they want to see the show I'm going to be I'm going to be doing some home wrecking cuz I'm I'm going to be breaking some women's Hearts when they when they see that but they ain't got nowhere to ain't nowhere to hide from it out here but anyway I'm definitely not going to have the camera rolling while I'm doing that but uh yeah I'm going to make a run over here see what's going on I got a few more hours I can fish before I got to leave and and head South toward the airport but looking forward to some Florida Keys fishing y'all there's some sharks Calling My Name Lake Ida has been good to me the last couple days got the fish I wanted to catch here copper noose bluegill peacock bass we got them both didn't get as many or as big of peacocks as I wanted to yet but hopefully I'll be able to get a few more of those this afternoon here but lots of copper no between yesterday and today several copper Blu and I love them things I I'm telling you man if you get a chance to fish for copper noos bluegill every one of them I mean you saw every one I've we haven't caught one of them under 8 in I mean that's a that's an average minimum is 8 in where back home public Waters a good Blu Gill is 8 in and they're not nearly as tall or as thick as these these 8 in Copper noose blue you know so I'm having a good time down here first leg of the South Florida road trip is going well but the main event is yet to come I hook into a big Hammerhead big bull shark boy it's going to be it's going to be on like Donkey Kong y'all so anyway stay tuned well I say I say stay tuned for those videos but in reality you're probably seeing this video last since the other video from yesterday would have come out first I've probably thrown this unedited video on after the shark video have come out assuming I get some shark videos and I hope I do so anyway wherever you're seeing this video Whenever Wherever thanks for watching appreciate the heck out of you but I'm going to cut this camera off and make a run to the other side and see if I can't get into some more peacocks today so anyway y'all thank you for watching appreciations I'll see you in the next video
