I Love the realness in your videos it's the true meaning of a fisherman on land and what we truly go thru. You the man keep them videos coming. Tight line 🎣🙏✌️
I truly appreciate that brother! Sometimes I wonder if I should post it but I still do so you guys can see it happens to me as well! As always glad you enjoyed and hope you’re having a great start to the year! Hope you been slaying them, tight lines!! 🎣😁
I had to try it for my self a lot of people had told me this but I wanted to test it out haha glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the support and comment! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
@@TCSfishing sometimes finding them from land ain’t the easiest haha but once they’re hungry it’s on! I appreciate the comment and support man! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
Thanks for the comment and the info! I gotta say today was definitely a good fishing day haha stay tuned for that video as well! I appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
Exactly! I mean you can just tell this area was loaded with fish although small but still at least they were biting and as soon as that cold came through they were gone! Or maybe there but just not biting! I appreciate the comment and hope you enjoyed the video! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
Hey there! I actually used a 1/8 jig head on the ned shrimp mainly because I wanted a smaller hook to match the size of the lure! But I bet a 1/4 oz jig would still work! I appreciate the comment! Tight lines!! 😁🎣
Remember me telling you that a good time to fish is low water? The last half of the outgoing, and the first half of the incoming? It's always good for smaller fish because they have to move out of the protection of the Mangroves, and now their only protection is to school up in big numbers where they have to compete with each other for food! However, you still have to learn that the largest predators cruise the outside of these schools of small trout and mullet. And on high water, they hide up in the Mangroves . They love to lay in wait and ambush their prey. That's why the guides cast up into the Mangroves, with weedless lures, such as NLBN Mullets and Mullet K-Tails! There are tons of video's that show you how to do this! Snook and Tarpon explode on those things! J, I sent you some that I rigged up for you with extra tails and hooks. You know the saying! "I can lead you to water, but I can't make you drink." Total Pun Intended! lol I LOVE that you are finally starting to try new things! You are getting to the point where those small trout are no longer the challenge for you that they once were, whether you want to admit it or not. That's natural! They have taught you far more than you realize! Let me ask you. You didn't show a good pic of the "Mud Crabs," but do you mean Fiddler Crabs? Most have one large claw that looks like they are carrying a fiddle around? They live in the little holes near Shore, and Sheepshead love them... If you are going to change lures, which I thought was a great idea. But REALLY try something different! Not a different variation of the same thing! Especially on days where they seem to eat anything. That was a PERFECT day to learn to "walk the dog" with the Zara Spook or Spook Jr. I sent you! Sometimes ONLY, the giant specks will hit those, and the dinks will stay on the bottom looking for shrimp and small crabs! I promise you J, when Trout, and predators hit those spooks there is nothing more fun! Many times they will hit them just to kill them, when they are not even hungry! The spooks are noisy and it seems to make the large trout so aggressive that they will actually knock the Spook a foot or two high! It's so much fun! Yes fishing shuts down after cold fronts, until it warms up a bit, or until the next front is a day or two away! But the fish are still there! They go into a lethargic state and their metabolism slows way down with the cold water, so they don't need to feed until it warms back up!
I really need to learn how to use those spooks for sure! I’m ready for those top water strikes now I think haha But yes I get fiddlers too however sometimes they’re hard to find so I flip over rocks on a low tide and grab the mud crabs that live under them! With all these cold fronts coming in I’m glad I tested this for sure because now I know when not to go spend my time fishing and go out and do some catching lol! As always will thanks for the advice believe me you’ve taught me a lot just with your words and gifts so I truly appreciate it and more of those gifts will be put to use very soon! Thanks for the comment and support as always! Tight lines bro!! 🎣🎣😁
@JfishyYT Oh I know you will eventually get around to using the things I brought to you, because it's the natural progression for learning new things. I sped up your learning curve because when you finally get ready to try things I've told you about, or to try things you see others or guides doing, you already have many of the things you need! As for the Spooks, my bet is you will be naturally good at it! Some people don't have the rhythm and just can't do it very well! Watch a video or two then go practice. The best way to top water fish is to have a rod devoted to it. That way, if you see fish busting the top, you're ready! You also need to learn how to use that baitcaster! Not on video but you can practice learning to use those anywhere! I learned in my backyard! But, THAT would make a great combo for those small trout and bass! They are a lot of fun when you get the hang of them! YES! Winter fishing is simply a pattern. Fish a day or two before each front, then wait for the next one, it's that simple. If you get cabin fever in between, head to the bridges for Sheepshead! They love cold windy weather! But dress warm!
I’m glad I’m not the only one! If you watch a few videos back I lost my keeper to them too! Haha that’s why I don’t like to allow them to feed on the fish because it seems that’s the reason they stick around! I appreciate the comment and hope you enjoyed the video! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
With this cold weather it can be tough! Not to mention the real bad winds it’s hard to even cast out by the beach but don’t give up! The bite will come st Pete has awesome fishing! I appreciate the comment and hope you enjoyed the video! Tight lines!! 🎣😁

Slayed them! When the fish have the feed bag on, it doesn't matter what you throw. They will bite. Nice video as always.

Great video. FYI, this Saturday, the 18th of January, should be another good time to fish. It'll be warmer and cold front is coming Sunday. Good luck.

Had the same experience last weekend- hit a favorite spot, right time/ tide but not a single bite. I am a believer that fronts put fish down.

Gotta show you a certain dock out there that the last 4 times I went were loaded with trout last time was a baby school tho but still fun!
@@Bradleys_fishing_adventures heck yeah man! Right now they’re loaded up all over haha! I appreciate the comment and support! Tight lines!! 🎣😁
Hey Mr. Fishy. Did you use the same weight jig on your shrimp, as your paddle tail?
