@@stephend3494 We go back into the feeder creeks from the launch, from those those feeders you can work your way out to 4 named creeks or more depending on tides. So, yeah we just stay in back and move around as the tide dictates. We launched at the Vassey Creek launch.

@happy_hartshornes thank you. Same invitation for you if you make it down this way. I do make it as far north as Steinhatchee to fish. Have driven the coast, and love Appalachiacola and Port St Joe.

@@frankmarano2529 Hurry, we’re going tomorrow

@@saunderskohn8977 Thanks back at ya!

@@CreekDonkeyFishing Thanks. Yeah, I like a captive audience-those fish have no where to go! I really like the negative tides because it helps me learn the bottom of the area. The dragging of the kayaks though….

@ yea that’s no fun , but totally worth it especially when you hook up! And yes I’ve seen stuff at a negative tide I never knew was there!

@@FloridaBackwaters yeah it's a good winter route. Went back and fished that Monday and did really well on the trout. I will have that video ready in about a week.

@@frankmarano2529 kid had a phenomenonal day, he's hooked

@frankmarano2529 Thanks, I put it back for you!

@@frankmarano2529 Thanks. I put it back for you.

@@gregtorrey7679 Thanks! Low and slow in the winter, and if you think you’re retrieving slow enough, slow it down some more. 😉. Ned Rigs are a go-to as well.

@@WesLovelace 👍 keeps us humble that’s for sure.

@highnoon116 Natural areas are recovering fine. Some new cuts through the mangroves. Man made things have taken a hit. Some businesses have closed, some sold, over 100 homes received the County Notice of Death. That is, build back to code or don't build at all. Oh, I emailed you yesterday.

@@millhousemiller775 One piece at a time. Some parking areas are worse than others for sure.

@@justinsincyr7754 The route you outlined is a good winter route, just did that yesterday. Had a real good day with trout, about 2 dozen keepers. Video in a couple weeks. There are a lot of options launching at the bridge, feeder creek short cuts etc. but if you stay on the main river you’ll find your way back! There are 2 other public launches on Ozello Trail, each offers different types of fishing. Get yourself a Christmas present and go out with fishheadkayakcharters.com. What type of kayak are you fishing from? What days are you looking at fishing? You fishing bait or artificial?

@@kennethdean7959 been a minute that’s for sure

@saunderskohn8977 it's been a minute. Have 3 more to edit, 2 with Brian. We went out Tuesday and had a big day. "Reel" big day

@@THEFIRSTTIMEGARDENER-mp9vv Here is a nice tool to help you find launches. gis.myfwc.com/BoatRampFinder/

@@THEFIRSTTIMEGARDENER-mp9vv I thought I replied to this but doesn’t look like from my end. Here is a link to the FWC ramp locator. It’s good for the entire state. When launching in Ozello, it’s tides, winds, season. gis.myfwc.com/BoatRampFinder/

@@THEFIRSTTIMEGARDENER-mp9vv Ozello and Yankeetown depending on tides winds etc.

@@highnoon116 Wasn’t a bad day.

@@JustCsting Thanks

@@JustCsting Thanks. I’m about to get back at it soon.

@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 Same, headed out this weekend to do some more exploring.

@@JustCsting Good luck this weekend. One more Grouper trip on Friday and it’s back to the yak for me.

@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 Good Luck on that Grouper Trip!

@@janiced5077 Not brother Matt. He does need to get down here and fish though

@@highnoon116 thanks

@WesLovelace nothing but day-enders up around there. Airboat or nothing. Although, the mud minnow guy and his wife have it down pretty good.

I have not. Actually have never fished south of Ozello Trail. Have a buddy that lives down in Hudson, I keep threatening him to fish down that way.

@@KirkMcGirk what launch did you use? I am assuming you were using bait.

@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 went out of bird creek beach. Not sure if there are better places to launch a kayak or what. Typically just use lures. A spook and mirrodine are my go tos for the most part, but I threw a zman mulletron my friend gave me for awhile that caught me the cat. Only have two rods at the moment so I try to not be changing.

@@KirkMcGirk Catching the cat threw me, usually a sure sign of bait. If launching from Bird Creek Beach head east (left) then after the 2nd big island turn north towards Kelly Creek. This is where I start fishing the north bank at the turn, then the channel, bars and shore towards Kelly Creek. Then fish the south shores in Kelly creek, points, creeks, oyster bars, and islands in the creek, then on the way back repeat on the north. Just hit all those fishy spots, explore the small creeks. Summertime is tough, keep that in mind. If you noticed, no videos from me lately. Fish your favorite soft plastic, 4” paddle tail darker colors for Yankeetown. Top water in the morning, or mirrodines all day along side channels little deeper water etc. Route is on Google maps.

@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 yeah I did notice. Was looking for one to see if I could recognize any summer spots next time i go out lol. I don't blame you though, it was over cast all day and I still got sunburnt and dehydrated out there. I did notice you're typically using darker colors so I definitely need to grab some. Appreciate the tips man!

@@KirkMcGirk For summertime fishing follow Brian Stauffer at fishhead kayak charters, he’s on instagram and Facebook, dude catches fish on the nature coast year round.

@@highnoon116 Hi Todd, as the time of your visit gets nearer, just comment on one of my videos or message me on the Nature Coast In Shore Fishing FB page. And we'll work something out.

@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 will do ..thanks!

@@yft4584 Pirate's Cove is the local name for Ozello Community Park

@@keg9850 lil crazy there at times. You can park in the area by the trees. Left of where the video is taken, and you're usually good

I like it well enough. I’ve owned Jackson Cudas - fast and fish well. I still own a Jackson Big Rig it’s a small battleship, very stable, very fishable. I own 2 SS127s found them on FB marketplace for under 1k each were only 2 years old. The Bonafides don’t track all that well and they sit high on the water. Best kayak I bought for under 1k.

@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 you got any kayaks you'd compare it to or wish you'd have gotten instead? (That preferably aren't like a hobie or sportsman or something way more expensive) Right now I'm stuck between the ss127 and the vibe shearwater 125, but im also being tempted to save a couple hundred bucks and go with like a vibe yellowfin 120 that there's a ton of on face book Having a hard time making my mind up and I been researching kayaks like non stop for like 2 whole months now lol

@@KirkMcGirk had a vibe sea ghost that wasn’t too bad. Buddy had a wilderness I fished a lot, it was a good kayak. The only thing I don’t like about the Bonafide is that they are not all that fast. Takes a bit of effort to move them over the water, I paddle, no motor. The stability still carries the day for me though. I hung on the vibe for quite a while, you can stand in it. The type of fishing I do standing is everything. If I didn’t have to stand the Jackson Cudas are nice. Some guys can stand in them, I could not.

@KirkMcGirk I went through my share of kayaks. I resold all of them broke even pretty much over the years. Go with your gut, the worst that can happen is that you'll go fishing. While you're doing that keep an eye on what was your 2nd choice and if you see a deal that's too good to pass up, well get it. Try it out and sell the one you like the least. The key is waiting for the deal though.

@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 Damn.. That really touched me man. That's my whole goal in the first place. Go fishing. I appreciate your input man thanks

Pretty soon you'll be an old hand at all of this

Headed to Dairy Land in August. During my visit, I have a charter going out with some buddies. That's a throwback.

Thanks. Some skinny creeks back in there. Tide was up too otherwise there is some scraping going on. Some folks would cringe if they saw the bottom of my yaks.

@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 mine also but when you hook one back there it’s the best feeling in the world lol!!

@@CreekDonkeyFishing yeah the fight in that confined area is something

I feel ya. I've been on dry land for 2 weeks and I have 2 more to go!

Love me some top water.

Let me know.

In my next video I lost a nice fish while using a different Florida Fishing Products reel with their "DIstance" braid. SMH. Power Pro is it.

Just fished there a couple weeks ago. I'm way behind on getting videos out. The Black Drum up there are something, bigguns every where, makes me want to fish bait. It is the land of no seeums though.

@@naturecoastinshorefishing4397 Yea the no see ums were terrible at the campground. If I go back I will probably camp at one of the campgrounds off 24 and just launch the yak at Shell Mound. Didn't know about the black drum being there.

@retiredguyadventures6211 Just head towards the pier and straight across to the far shore then south. Then back across towards Dennis Creek and the flats to the south. Always tailing.
