Everglades City Tarpon. Win some and lose some...
Pops hooked up on a big tarpon, probably in the 50-pound range. Had we let it run once more, we might have been able to get some close-up shots of it. The fish was caught on a light spinning rod with a small circle hook and a 20 lb leader. Pops fought it for around 12 minutes before we could get close. Still a great time for both of us. Thanks for watching.

Gator on my boat!

We unintentionally caught a small gator while bass fishing. Turned out that the gator wasn't hooked at all. He just clamped down on the bait and let it go when we brought it into the boat. Enjoy!
Took my daughter fishing!
Просмотров 602 года назад
This is just a fun time with my youngest daughter, Charlotte. This was entirely her idea. If your child asks to go fishing, you strike while the iron is hot! Get out there and take them! Teach them something new and have fun! On this trip, the local bait shop was out of shiners so we grabbed some worms and headed to the nearest pond. She was so excited to have caught several fish and felt so ac...
Two days of Mahi fishing on the Mako 18 LTS
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.2 года назад
Everglades Lawn Care and Fort Lauderdale Jiu-Jitsu took the Mako 18lts Offshore for some Mahi fishing. We knew there was going to be some calm water so we decided head out looking for signs of life. We drove my 18lts out to around 800 ft of water (approx 3 miles) where we found floating patches of grass and debris. A few casts with a Spro bucktail jig was all it took to get the Mahi fired up. C...
Exploring Everglades City Short

I'm just Exploring. This was the first time I've been out here and it's beautiful. I launched at the Rod and Gun Club and followed the Indian Key Pass out toward the Gulf of Mexico. Caught several species of fish from snapper, catfish, jacks, and snook. Unfortunately no redfish or speckled sea trout. If you haven't tried this, it's worth a trip. Enjoy.

Mako 18 lts
Просмотров 14 тыс.7 лет назад
Well... I sold the Kayak and got a slightly used 2014 Mako 18 lts. The boat came fully rigged out with an i-Pilot trolling motor and a 115 Mercury 2- stroke. The boat is great!! There are very few consumer videos on this model so I wanted to get something out there for others to reference. This was the first time I got to take it out since test riding it. My brother in-law and I took the boat t...
Wahoo - Extreme Kayak Fishing Tournament 8/16/14
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.10 лет назад
The file was corrupted, so what you see is what you get. The audio doesn't match up, but you can still hear me screaming from excitement! A little back-story... This has been my most sought after fish since I started kayak fishing. Every time I leave to go fishing, I would always say to my wife "Hopefully I catch a big wahoo." It took about 3 years and finally happened. It also couldn't have co...

Rapala X-Rap Magnum Trolling
Просмотров 16 тыс.11 лет назад
I've been putting the Rapala X-Rap Magnums to the test and so far, they're great!! I've been consistently getting bites, but so far mostly trash fish. That only means they work. I have a few 20's and 30's that I'll be testing soon. I'm hoping to use one to score a wahoo. In this video, I was using X-Rap Magnum 15 (15ft deep diver) in the Spotted Minnow and Dorado colors. Enjoy the video!!
First Day on the Hobie Pro Angler 14
Просмотров 4,9 тыс.11 лет назад
Sold the Outback and picked up a 2013 Hobie Pro Angler 14!!! I wasn't ready for any offshore fishing yet since I'm still transitioning my gear to the new yak. Though I was anxious to get out on the water, so I grabbed some basic tackle and headed out to George English Park in Ft. Lauderdale. Hooked up on a small cuda and hooked my first Tarpon. The PA14 is awesome!! Feel free to post any questi...
Bear Mauler Compound Bow
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.11 лет назад
Shooting my new Bear Mauler Compound bow. This bow is super fast and quiet! You can barely hear it in person. I'm shooting at a Hurricane Bag archery target.
Always grab a gator with two hands! One on the neck and the other close to the back leg’s somewhere!!
How far off shore have you taken your Mako?
A few miles. I'm not sure exactly but the water depth was 800 ft. I'd only do that on a very light chop or glass flat day.
Can this boat get up into the shallows off to the left when exiting that rim canal? I know exactly where your at and fish there often.
How does it ride in flat water and 1-2ft chop
Anything else in general about this model I am looking at one to get. How is the bilge pump working and your live well works fine no issues? The motor is efficient and gives no issues? Let me know what you like and don’t like thank you
@@FloridaManJ like the keys or biscanye bay or southwest Florida/ Florida bay maybe go offshore on perfect flat days like 1-2 miles off possibly do some mahi fishing like you in right conditions
What type of motor you on that mako 18
@@FloridaManJ would. 90 pro work good as well out there offshore or where you inshore
@@FloridaManJ great thank you for the advise do you out power poles on your boat
Good job Char! You’re just adorable!♥️
Good job Char! You’re just adorable ♥️
No way you didn’t catch fish without having five 12” graphs, 3 in the front stacked and two on the console and out $20K
Hey Justin, did you ever give the 30 size ones a go? I'm thinking about buying one to chase tuna
@@FloridaManJ Thanks for the info mate. Unfortunately the 15s and 20s aren't available in New Zealand where I live. Seem to only be the 30 and 40 ones on the market. There's also the CD range, and I was considering a 14cm or 16cm one of those, but not sure they'd be up to the test for a big bluefin tuna
@@gpfishingadventures7834 Amazon or eBay available
After trying this boat would you still go with the 18 or 21 LTS? Nice boat either way, just curious .

Can you tell me which Engel cooler you have as your helm seat? I also have a 18 LTS and would like to upgrade the cooler. Great videos, thanks.
You had that fish out of the water for over 2 minutes....hold ur breath next time you catch one until you let it go and see how long you make it!
congratulations, what ammo did you use !?
Sounded kind of like a 2 stroke - is that a 4 stroke? Would you say it is more flats boat then bay boat or more bay boat than flats boat?
How do you like bass fishing out of this compared to say a bass boat?
Where can I get the rod holders you have on the deck
How much a hog hunt cost
Justin, what trolling do you have ? Think a 54 inch shaft is okay ? Thanks.
Thank ya.
Just did paperwork on a 2018 18 LTS. Thanks for the video. From Okeechobee.
I also have a Mako 18 Lts. Just as you said. The versatility of being able to fish fresh and salt. I got a new 2017 with a 115merc. Great boat for the most part. Has a few things they can improve I’d say. But still a super good boat ..
Also, whats your top speed?
Im thinking about purchasing one new with the 115 pro xs. Would you recommend it?
Which part of okeechobee were you at
I had a 2010 Mako 18 LTS and loved it. HOWEVER... It did have its issues. The center console was poorly attached to the deck, it came loose and could rock left to right. The rear holds would fill with 3-4 inches of water while floating still but would empty out when moving. There was also a spot on the bow deck that the fiber glass construction was extremely thin and actually was punctured by a dropped fishing rod. It is very well designed and laid out, but it seems cost cutting shortcuts were taken during construction. I no longer own the boat, as I had to move to Germany and could not take it with me. Come to find out I was not the only one to have these issues, hopefully Mako has addressed these issues and are putting out better quality, if so I would certainly buy another.
What's the name and length of your trolling motor? I'm looking to get a motor guide for my 18lts and want to make sure I get the right size/length
A mako on okie interesting why not a bass boat
Hi hey I love your kayak which is it
Had a brand new one for about a year.what junk mako has become..looks good from 10 foot away but take a closer look and you'll find endless flaws. Built the cheapest way possible..half the screws were stripped or in sideways thing was a joke... theres no way it would have stayed solid for more then a few years..look under the sidewalls and you'll see what i mean. There's a reason why theses boats are cheaper then the rest..do yourself a favor stay away from mako boats....what good is a so called lifetime warranty on junk...
I would love to hunt there how does it work I have a Benjamin titan NP .22 caliber I live in Miami can you give me more information about the place what a great video keep doing it. I want to hunt for small hogs.
ive been looking at these. Would you be confortable running out in the Gulf a ways or around inlets on the Atlantic in it? I want somthing big enough to do that but small enough to go freshwater when i want.
Gotta love the 35 Remington! Nice hog too! What range was the shot?
hello , please witch size is the rapala dorado green ? thanks
I have one I bought earlier this year and I love it! Mine was just boat motor and jack plate so I added trolling motor and power poles. Its a great little boat!
I need to make some videos with mine but don't have a decent camera
Brett Ferguson , what type of trolling motor did you install? What's the length?
What is the top speed?
same with my boat same make just 2019@@FloridaManJ
Great video! I just picked up a deep diver rapala x-rap can't wait to experiment out there with it, I am curious how fast were you trolling it and what depth? Thanks again.
EXACTLY why I need to move to Florida. We've had wahoo locally in the last few months, but only because of El nino. Congrats on the nice hoo!
Awesome! How fast do you troll? Do AJ'S hit it?
+SoFloKayakFishing wow, 5-6mph on a PA! That's fast! I'm looking at upgrading to a Hobie and want to troll with plugs rather than spending hours finding and catching bait. I asked about AJ'S because their close cousin over here on the west coast (california yellowtail ) is also an amberjack and I'm curious if they hit them and what's an ideal trolling speed. Rather than wrecks and reefs, our Jack's hang out in the kelp Forrest. Can't count how many I've lost in the kelp! Love the videos
+SoFloKayakFishing Lol, aren't we all anxious to get to the fishing grounds? !!! So about 2-4mph is your best trolling speeds? Seeing your video makes me want to get a few right now! !!!
I've got a Hobie Revo-16 and I'm up in NoCal, so here's some regional input, however I would really like to hear SoFlo's answers back to my observations because those PA's are really awesome boats. As you know, the Pacific can get pretty rough, and from what I've seen, the PA-14 is not something I would take out in the ocean -- it's just too heavy to access most of our beaches/coastal access points other than ramps and it's also too slow on the water and presents too much windage profile up here near the SF Bay to be able to put to much safe use. I am almost exclusively a saltwater fisherman and I know only one other pedaler in NCKA.org that takes his out in the salt -- they are great for calm, flat freshwater, but a handful to manage on the sea. Unrigged, they check in close to 130 lbs, so this is not a boat for cartopping or remote access or solo carries anywhere other than someplace with a launch ramp. My Revo-16 is about the fastest boat model on the water, and an honest max sustained speed for it in chop and swells is about 4.5 kog, which is plenty good for pulling one of the Rapala's. The Revo's are the narrowest model with the Mirage drive, and it seems great to me for punching out through waves, tracking straight, raw speed, and raw power (I've towed other kayaks for a couple of miles several times). Suggestion: Any reputable dealer will offer you a test drive so you can try 'em before you buy it.
