That's awesome man! I love the determination! Plus I really enjoy your channel. Fly fishing and light tackle is my obsession. I mainly fish the Upper Chesapeake and Ocean City, MD. A Chesapeake redfish on the fly is a goal for me too. I've caught them in South Carolina and Florida on the fly but not up here yet. Good luck on the water!

Awesome day! I’ve been meaning to kayak around the concrete ships, can you launch from the boat ramp there or do you have to go off the beach?

It used to be 18 to 28, you could keep 2 and 1 over 32.... for years... Same rode I got, except I have 2500 Penn spinfisher. Congrats!

At 42 I just started salt water fishing and I live on the eastern shore of Md This fish is on my list What part of the bay are you on. ?

Congrats on your first of many buddy.

Youre literally fishing behind my house in the first portion of this video.

Awesome fish man. A little tip I learned with casting is treat you cast like your answering a phone call. Do not let your wrist do the work more so the loading of the rod tip. Let me know when you want to come out to Montana for some cutties. Keep working hard!!!!

Cool video brotha! I love it. Would be way easier in one of my custom jonboats... Holla at me!

Very cool to see your persistence pay off! This reminds me of the show “Spanish Fly” with Jose Wejebe, who was unfortunately killed in a plane crash some years ago. His specialty was fly fishing the Florida marshes…you may be able to see his shows on RUclips

You did a great job with this video! Your struggles were real but you beat them. I've been thinking about getting a flyrod for the marshes. It turns out there are some open record slots for flies in the IGFA for flounder. I know, flounder on the fly would be difficult, especially a keeper, but that's kinda the point. Reds would be great fun too. Unfortunately it's not a cheap way to get set up for. If I could get a rod that actually casts decent for $100 I'd do it but I don't know if that's a realistic limit.

fly casting sitting down is hard.

What a journey! Make sure the end of the fly line/leader is not stripped into the rod, keep that leader outside the rod tip to avoid damaging it or the rod!

Congrats. I remember my first redfish on the fly and doing it all on your own is worth it. All the frustration, missed shots and time makes it that much more satisfying. Cheers to many more!

Might try roll casting... I used to do that when I fished for Rainbows off of a covered dock.. couldn't back cast. You can still get a pretty decent cast with a roll.

Enjoyed the opening narrative of this video. Over talking a video can be distracting. A good read for fly fisherman is John Gierach, He wrote Trout bum and many others. You speak of being a minimalist which in his later years he lived by that rule. He writings don’t include the Eastern Whore but it applies in so many ways. Living in Pa all my life then retiring to the Eastern Shore and fishing these waters is a real challenge. But I’ve had success even with catching a Rock Fish on the fly. Sadly John Gierach passed away this October, but what a legend. Try reading Aa The Time in the World, another classic Ed

Excellent video man. If you really want to get frustrated fly fishing, come up here to the Shenandoah valley and you can throw in the frustration of hooking trees and bushes on your back cast also😂. My two cents, for what it's worth, get in the practice of getting those fish on the real when you are fighting them. If and when you hook into a larger red, the drag from the reel will really help you out in landing those bigger fish. Awesome video, keep it up

See i wanna fly fish for reds like this 27 incher around points and stuff but it's just so much harder to cover water with the fly

Ol Warwick river

Amazing how hard they fight! Love the catch…

Enjoyed the video....nice red looking forward to the next video

Great video 📹... norfolk va checking inn

Nice! I'm glad someone is still catching fish. I've been working or hiding from the cold and wind. It's way too cold for me to go on the kayak, and too windy lately. The water is way too cold to get wet. My FL Man bones might rattle 🤣. Hopefully the wind will calm down enough to try from the pier at Fort Monroe or something from land. I'm sick of being inside.

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Love it! Great red. Nice Strriper! Great spot for us kayak fisherman.

Nicely done!

Kutztown! Are you both from PA originally?

You caught that big red at the bridge tunnel not the concrete ships dude

Great content on your channel! Where do you fish mostly?

Cool, topwater is a hoot when fish will hit it. I'm done with the yak for the winter. It's been too cold and windy for my FL man bones to even fish at the Fort Monroe pier. My buddy said people are catching stripers at night around the Mellen St bridge Oh and my boss told me that bluefin tuna are being caught in the Bay out by the tunnel. What a tease.

Thank you so much!! 😊 Can't wait to use all the great products in the 1st Tide Tackle Care package. We are locals and fish in a lot of the same waters. We enjoy your videos and appreciate all the work you put into them. Tight lines!

The area you fishing I wish I can get back there on foot I stay right in that area love the content

I hate coming in with the surf. I either flip or almost flip. 😂

Good luck on your jon boat build. I just finished a 1436, it was a lot of fun building it out and I'm now in the process of breaking in the outboard and getting used to fishing from a boat (coming from years of kayak fishing experience). It's been a fun journey for sure.

How do you steer the kayak

Hey, that's the biggest croaker I've seen in years. It's not like it use to be. I remember trying to flounder fish in the bay and couldn't keep 12"+ croaker off the hook

Congrats on the boat! Get a spot lock trolling motor, biggest game changer, I haven't touched my anchor since I got mine last year

Congratulations Juanita! Very interesting about the boat…looking forward to seeing some of the process…are you turning a Jon boat into a platform fishing boat? I’ve heard of that…

more content to come bro!

Congrats to the winner of the giveaway! I’m happy to contribute towards helping conservation efforts in the Chesapeake. Solid catches on the yak, sandwich looked so good 😋

sitting here recovering from knee replacement surgery it is a real treat to get some vicarious fishing action in. Thanks very much for what you do,and BTW, these videos are getting better all the time. I figure I will be well on my way in the spring to start thinking about getting a kayak of my own and start figuring out the Lynnhaven watershed. Please continue the great work! DKC

Try to not get bows in your line during your retrieve. Mend the line and attempt to follow the fly with the trip of your rod. Gear wise, you may consider an 8 weight with a large arbor reel. The large arbor helps you pick up the line faster.

Great fishing, and I really enjoy watching your videos! One tip I’d recommend is “mending” your fly line after casting or whenever your line starts to bow, especially in areas with current. This can help straighten your line and make your fly presentation look more natural to the fish. If you're interested, I'd be happy to show you in person I recently moved to the Norfolk area. I’ve also picked up some unique styles and techniques while fishing Out West for a couple of years that many fly anglers in the East might not know about. Let me know if you'd like to connect or swap tips sometime!

I showed the videos you posted to my grandpa and the memories of him in the 70s , 80s, and 90s, fishing near the HRBT and the concrete ships came flooding back. Thank you so much for showing us the fish you have caught and fought against.

Where is that launch? I don’t recognize it.

I love fishing for stripper on light tackle

Great adventure!

7:34 nice stripper, good to see you learning how to use a fly rod

Try cooking rockfish with teriyaki. May change your life.

Congrats on catching with the fly rod! Nice catches, looked like a lot of fun
