Thanks for the tip. We will be fishing on the Harris Chain this weekend!

@MattCaldwellFishing I'll be out there myself, if you see a silver/maroon/black older model Nitro, holler at me! Tight lines

It’s the Connect Scale app. The app is a little wonky, but it does the job. Once the scale stops working, I plan on upgrading to the bubba scale. I hear it’s a lot better.

I haven’t unfortunately. I’d like to get out there for spawn season.

Matt do you find the pedal drive option easy to do and bass fish. Compared to a trolling motor. I'm leaning towards a pedal drive kayak. Trying to get away from all the battery hand controlled stuff.

It does work great. The downside is in heavy grass. Trolling motor would be an advantage for long runs.

Are you glad you added the power pole to your yak. Any issues with it.

To be honest it was kind of a waste of money. I dont use it that much. It's only useful in less than 6 feet. I'd rather have a trolling motor with spot lock.

Thanks for the tip, good looking out!

Hey David, appreciate that input. It's at the shop but I'll certainly have them check that. Now that I've experienced this, I'll now what to look for. Thanks!

I hope it is an easy fix. Good luck and Good Luck Fishing.

Yeah, we were bummed. The Big O is so unpredictable.

It seemed normal to me, nothing crazy.

For sure, just started to figure it out. Can’t wait to build on it for next time.

I don’t think that’s true. John Crews uses mostly zillions. I don’t think you’ll have problem with it. Thanks for the comment.

That’s pretty good. As seen in the video, we caught good numbers of fish, just not any big ones.

Good to know. I wish we would have caught some bigger fish.

@@MattCaldwellFishingevery trip’s a learning experience, that last stretch y’all were on is a good one

Definitely remember for next time!​@@bryanhoward1795

I believe there was a tournament there during our practice day.

You gotta give us some tips then.

Thanks for the comment. Check out some of my other videos. There has been a slight pause in the content as you can imagine. New videos coming soon.

It’s a technique I’m learning as well. Find a good contour line or some cover on the bottom with your electronics & drag a worm, Carolina rig or jig. Drop shot can work as well.

Whoooo!

@@MattCaldwellFishing Watermelon red is my favorite as well. I throw flukes instead. Joined a Kayak Club up here have won a couple tournament and big bass a few time. Unfortunetly i literally throw one bait.

That's how it goes sometimes. I'd like to throw something other than worms, but that's what gets bit.

lol good catch!

Thanks for the comment. To be honest, I’m not that familiar with Lake Parker. Only fished it a couple of times. In my opinion, summer is the toughest time to catch bass. Soft plastics is your best bet. Finesse worms, senkos, and some type of flipping bait, should get you started. As far as craws, I’m sure there in there, but I don’t know anything about eating them.

It sure was, thanks for the comment.

You bet

I’m not sure when this reel was released, but it is the current model in production.

It’s been a while since the last time I took the kayak out. It’s too hot for me in the FL summertime. I prefer the cooler weather, especially spawn time. You can really sneak up on the bass.

That sucks to hear. I guess everyone has different experiences. I have had nothing but good experiences.

Thanks for the comment. We did throw swim jigs in practice, unfortunately no bites.

Thanks for the comment. Summertime fishing has always been a struggle for us so trying find them has been the focus.

@@MattCaldwellFishing I would give you a few spots but I might be fishing against you and Dale, So I might want to hold onto those spots a bit longer. But if you watch any of my videos, they are mostly from the South Chain of Lakes and you might recognize a spot or two for the next time..

Thanks again, I’ll certainly take a look.​@@fishinganddishingwithdavid

Share the word and we’ll get there!

Thanks for the comment. Yeah sometimes they swallow the bait and get gut hooked. We do our best to keep them alive.

Southport Boat ramp

@@MattCaldwellFishing is the hydrilla out of control on toho . We have a trailer at the old reds fish camp , haven’t been down this year yet.

Yeah it’s pretty thick on Toho, but that’s where the fish are.

Thanks for the comment. I plan on tying on the glide & the flip gill this weekend.

No preference, if it catches fish, I’ll buy it again. If not at least I tried it.

Thanks for the comment. Summer fishing can be tough with temperatures approaching 100 degrees. Get on the water early, first light to get on that morning bite. After that your best bet is to look for offshore grass & brush piles once the sun is up & starts to get hot.

No extra shipping costs.

@@MattCaldwellFishing wow I just watched a bunch of other videos a host of different guys had to pay 50 or 60 dollars to replace 100 dollar rods I just had a first my little panfish broke on a big crappie so I’ve been watching videos lol I found a couple like this one but others were unhappy lol guess I’ll find out . And thx

I might be making a part 2 to this video. I just broke my Mojo Bass Frog rod last week. I’ve had it for 10 years. First St Croix I’ve actually broken myself. So I’ll talk about my experience the 2nd time around. Stay tuned to the channel for that one.

Thanks for the comment

Thanks buddy!

Thanks, and tight lines for sure!

That’s what made me want to buy one when you showed me yours. I was very impressed.

Had it since the new year

I did not pay anything to have my rod replaced. I believe the victory series is a higher tier warranty than your triumph.

when I filled out the warranty form there was no payment option. Do I wait for an email from them and then pay?

@@mr.cleanmclean7231 They sent me an email with a service phone number to call

@@MattCaldwellFishing thank you very much…how long did it take for I to receive an email after submitting the warranty form. I’ve been waiting for almost two weeks for a response from st croix

Thank you…How long did it take for u to receive an email after submitting the warranty form. I’ve been waiting for about two weeks now

A lot of their reels are free shipping.

@@MattCaldwellFishingwas about to say this lol

I have also ordered from hook up tackle. I like their selection but their prices are a little on the high side.

They’re in Lake May.

@@MattCaldwellFishing thank you!

Scott, thanks for the comment and the subscription. Yes it does have the drag clicker. I forgot to mention it.

It’s possible, I was there on Saturday. There was only a few boats on the water that day.

Yes in Safety Harbor

I can't believe your actually catching fish out of this lake, I used to fish it regularly but the last few years I seemed to have notice my catches dropping off substantially. I seems every time I go there it looks like they just got done spraying it especially in the spring time. The last 3 times i fished it I swore it would be my last but it is close to home and easy to launch and free. You live on this side of the bay?

I live in st Pete, 10 min drive for me.

I’ve been using 3/16 however it’s all personal preference.

You can set the weight according to the power of the rod you use, but you have to adjust the size of the plastic luer by referring to the casting resistance

Well said

There is a difference in action, more on the finesse side. Believe it or not just as weedless as a bullet weight.
