  • On my friend's boat again. I learned why this baitfish is called, 'Candy of the Bay'. And I got some nice close-ups of a friendly manatee!

    Love your appreciation for nature, brotha. Sometimes have to sit back and take it in. Seeing you marvel over the manatee brought some tears to my eyes, I lost my best friend 2 weeks ago and glad to know there is more people like him that appreciate the simple things in nature still.

    Super footage Marty, a little bit of everything for everybody. I had the good fortune of being in a kayak over at Mosquito Lagoon back in March when a manatee came up and wanted to be petted, awesome experience. Thanks for sharing.

    This is OG Zoffinger, I've probably watched it 5 times. To me, its how little he makes it about him, and how many extra steps he takes to make it about the experience for everyone else.

    Love your videos buddy. Makes me really miss fishing with my Grandfather. I spent two weeks with him every summer until I was about 12 fishing the Tampa Bay area for Reds and Snook. Loved every second of it.. Really brings back good memories. Thanks for that.

    I met a UPS driver while I was working in Punta Gorda FL. I was filling in as a power plant operator for a few months. He and I got talking about me being from Maine and FISHING. He was a captain and guide and took me out every weekend he just wanted to split gas and bait. He was an amazing guy and a great fisherman!

    Reminds me of when redfish were considered a pretty much take what You want fish. Everyone wanted red snapper. Then when You couldn’t take as many because of the fishing pressure, blackened redfish became popular. When it got to the point that You could only keep a couple the redfish, redfish status became similar to bass in freshwater. The beginning of tournaments. At least the flounder in the Gulf off Texas has rebounded. With storms moving the sand out from their normal areas the flounder got where You could only keep two. That’s a long drive from Dallas for two fish! Now they are back so You can keep five. I’ll be in Galveston Bay wading for flounder in October. Yummm.

    Just a tip for you guys, when you catch fish can you tell us what species they are, us fisherman watching in foreign countries don't always know what you're catchin...cheers

    • @BipolarBLKSheep
      @BipolarBLKSheep 8 лет назад +3

      +fiddlestickz muzik Redfish are the ones with the blunt noses, and have a black spot or spots near the tail. Snook are the shiny silver ones with the long thin head. They are delicious :D
      Oh and the spotted sea trout was the darker fish with the black spots along its back and the sharp teeth. :) All great fish to catch!

      Frank, the reel is an Okuma 30 ABF with 15lb braid and a 20lb flurocarbon leader. The rod is an SPL 1102 medium action, 5' 10". Nice size for my kayak.

    Manatee's are rtuly awesome, friendly creatures. I'm so glad that they made them illegal to kill or bother. A thrill of a lifetime for me would be to catch a big tarpon, a black Marlan, a Goliath Grouper and a "Big Barracuda". A huge Tuna would be nice too. I could go on and on about my saltwater wishes. Saltwater is endless.

  • @tomdusold
    @tomdusold 10 лет назад

    What weight cast net are you using? We usually end up catching the bigger bait on sabikis because the cast net doesn't sink and close fast enough in the deeper water. Castnetting works fine on the schools of smaller bait on the flats in 2-8ft, but deeper than that the fish just swim out from under it. Great video, btw.

  • @JimmiSez
    @JimmiSez 9 лет назад

    Any advise for a lowly guy without a boat other than cast close to the mangroves? Light to med. pole? 10/15 lb. line? Is it ok to have a bottle of rum in one hand and pole in other? Nice video btw, GoPro I take it?

    • @zoffinger
      @zoffinger  9 лет назад +1

      Snook love hanging out under mangrove trees. I didn't catch many at first either because I was afraid to lose my lures in the trees. That's where your target should be though. A shrimp, greenback, topwater, soft plastic even a mangrove crab has helped me pull snook out from under those overhanging branches. You can look under docks, too. They love cover. Good luck

  • @overgroundassult
    @overgroundassult 10 лет назад

    Great video as always Marty. Can you tell me what hooks you are using, and is there any particular way that you hook your live bait?

    • @zoffinger
      @zoffinger  10 лет назад

      Hi, Caleb. I'd say the average hook I use is a 1/0 circle hook. As for hooking the little fishes you saw in this video, I suppose the best way is to pass the hook through one nostril and out the other. The hard cartilage in their noses hold onto the hook well. On the kayak, I usually get smaller baitfish. I'll hook them through the back if their noses are too small.
