If any kayaker has flares they “prefer” please comment. It’s a wet sport and something packaged water tight from factory preferred.
Hey Elias, you gunna try out one of them old town power kayaks? That spot lock seems pretty nice
She was being nice to you and was on your side! Coastie the Commie almost tax cited you there. Now be a good subject and get your flares.
Thought same at first but at time of safety stop she claiming EVF was 3.1 off shore. If she can prove, she 's "clear" to issue summons, as EVF said as much, needs to be within 3. What I didn't understand is why the "no" on permission to fish the wrecks inside 3 that EVF asked about (2.1, 2.5). That should have been a yes by the regs, but Coastie could have preferenced with its ok but really prefer you to just have the flares. When she said no to fishing inside 3 without the flares she wasn't being nice, she was being wrong. All for service, safety and compliance but get your sh!t straight darling.
I use the orion waterproof marine flares. You can get them at walmart, bass pro, cabelas, etc. Found some that were 12 years old in my old sea pro and they worked perfect still. Def a trustworthy brand. The coast guard can be pricks but for good reason, they are just looking out for you.
I've got a three-pack of the Orion flares that I keep in a dry box. They'll survive a dunking, and will work if you need to fire them while hanging on the side of the 'yak... or floating along in your PFD.
She was rude. Why couldn’t she answer your question without giving you attitude. Good job keep your cool.
Sea bass & sea robin for the bottom sweeper jigs
woman with authority..
@@chronicawareness9986 None of her male crew members spoke up . Guess she's " The boss " .
@@bill3641 lol yea
Because she was a she. What planet are you from, standard practice in USA.
@@chronicawareness9986 woman in the military with authority! Had WMs(woman Marines) like that in the Marine Corps. Just hearing her voice reminded me of it.
I would use the bottom sweeper jig for reds at the jetty, sheepshead around docks, and more!
Redfish and sheepshead with the bottom sweeper jigs.
All the northeast bottom fish. Tog, seabass, porgy, etc.
West Coast here 🎣🐟 I'd use the bottom sweeper jigs for Lingcod Season!
Crab ? Well where I am from , we would catch Blackfish.. Flares are probably one of the most important things you can have .They can show your location RIGHT NOW ! years ago, the Coast Guard could recommend but not say anything to Kayakers. Matter of fact, no license fees, nothing, it was like you were absolutely free to recreate the way you wanted. If you paddled twenty miles out with just yourself, you could do it. Nobody cared.
Hey Elias!! Sheepshead redfish black drum, Ponce Inlet Florida!!!
My response: Can my friend Deez Nuts bring me out some flares? LoL
Your response...much better. 🎣👍😁😂🎣🎣🎣
My target species would be big sheepshead and mangrove snapper
I’ll target Blackfish with the bottom sweeper jig!
Bottom Sweeper!!!!!! and i'd target Tog for sure!!!
Hey! How far from the shore is it allowed to go by kayak?
Sheepshead from your old stomping ground in bk....hope nc is treating ya well...great channel
In california zero flares are required and I doubt it is in Florida as coastguard is federally regulated by law.
I would target sheephead. They look like they are a lot of fun to catch.
Tautog would be the main target, hoping to get a sheepshead this year tho. Kayak and jetty fishing out of Delaware, only seen maybe 3 sheepshead caught
Bottom sweeper jigs for tautog and sheepshead for me.
I’d target tog and sheepshead at the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel!
Reds and a few of those mega sheeps.
I would target Reds on the New River in Coastal Carolina
I would love to see how they work on the freshwater sheephead in Lake Erie!!!!
I’d target drum (any color). Love the channel!
I target tog off NJ north coast ... thanks for the chance...
Sheepshead with the bottom sweeper
Sheepshead. Those teeth do look gnarly.
I will be targeting tog, and possibly some hogfish down in the keys.
In a yak a sea dye pack isn't a bad idea either .
Walleye
I’d definitely target sheepshead.
Redfish and sheepers
I would definitely be targeting black fish up in Connecticut.
I would target Cape May N. J. (SHEEPHEAD)
“I’m trying to be nice”
Translation: I’m not sure of the law but I want to assert my authority
I was in the Coast Guard. I'm a veteran now and I had to deal with people like her.
I think that Coast Guard lady has seen the movie “Office Space” too many times...she’s really concerned that you don’t have ‘enough pieces of flare’ on your fishing uniform. 😁
Yeah he made her day
@@surfrat8884 Hey guys come on. As with any population, you'll get individuals who might be a tad over the top or had a bad day. However, the coasties are there for law enforcement and you. If the day comes when you send a "mayday", you'll be happy that they respond. Let's just cooperate and move on.
Gary M just like cops definitely have a duty to protect the public. (They don’t, multiple court cases prove this)
Just to be clear, I’m not teasing the Coast Guard, they rock. I’m teasing that one person who got caught on camera being...well...saying what she said, and how she said it. I’d bet she’s awesome most of the time and it was “one of those moments” she would never want to be a part of a performance review.
I’ve never needed the CG, but absolutely rely on the knowledge that they will brave the worst conditions that Mother Nature can dish out...especially when we foolishly blast through the Oregon Inlet with a Small Craft Advisory in effect, or run personal watercraft over to the Bahamas, or go to the back side of Catalina to hunt lobsters when SwellWatch shows a big purple blob headed our way from the Southern Hemisphere. We don’t always make the wisest choices, but they’ve always got our backs, so Thank You to all who serve.🤙
Oh, and YES I’m going to get a couple flares from West Marine, seal them in a foodsaver bag, and toss them in my yak sack gear bag. Tip, write the expiration date in BIG black sharpie so you don’t a) get hassled or b) shitouttaluck when/if you actually need the flares. Also, snip one side of the bag just a wee bit and maybe put blue tape there so you have a quick-tear spot in an emergency (those bags are tough). The tape keeps it from ripping open by accident and shows you right where to rip too, which is a big deal in low light conditions.
I feel like when they say I’m trying to be nice it’s just covering not knowing what they’re talking about. She couldn’t give you a distance, a firm okay on anything, hemmed and hawed, but still had to follow through with booting you.
Retired USCG here, those officers are incorrect. As a manually propelled vessel you are not required to carry VDS during daytime - you are required to carry acceptable VDS between sunset and sunrise 33CFR175.115
As a fellow yak fisherman, I tried looking up that code and I can’t find it. Please post a reference link.
makofshrmn 33cfr175.115
But read the entire cite because some sections reference other sections
Different rules in different states
saltwater angling true but federal law applies no matter what the state says. Even if the state requires VDS no matter where you are in state waters - the CG can only enforce the federal standard no state law
Yea,your an expert. Stfu jackass.
“Im trying to be nice”🙄 means you don’t get to ask questions and the rules don’t matter, you’re going in.
One time fishing with my dad, had a similar incident. He asked them to show him the regulation. Of course that is hard to do from another vessel so he said he would step on board. They were not happy about that, so my father ended the conversation by pulling out his ID and making it an order... Capt. USCG. One of the coolest things I’ve seen him do.
I've been harassed by the CG before they rode by 30 boats to check me, long story short I had everything but they wanted to board me when they did one of them dropped there gun overboard and thus ended my fishing trip. They had a 8+ man crew sitting on top of my #s for hours I guess waiting for a diver. 30+ foot deep with a 2-3 kt current. Weapon never recovered from what I was told. Protecting Americas coastline from fisherman.
Too bad that “hot bite” was interrupted by some incompetent authorities that didn’t have a clue what they were talking about.......I’d like to target some large black drum like you were catching last summer. Those things were massive!
She's trying to be nice, but she's definitely not capable of that.
Need to try out this bottom sweeper on the April tautog season up here in NY my dude.
Public official: You need a flare past 3 miles.
Guy: can I fish at 2 miles?
Public official does math in head: No
I know! I was wondering why he even asked?
Lol!
That's what we call a "crooked" officer. The law is the law, officer, not you!
$1.5 trillion destroyed in the market that nobody specific really even received in less than an hour from the us gov.
Actual taxpayers and more than 300 mil citizens/taxpayers/voters:
That’ll be about $0.08 trillion for you
@@Flagrant_Violations LOL your math is quite flawed. try it again.
I searched everywhere in the Federal Requirements for a kayak, canoe, manually powered vessel less
Kevn Peppel - since he is not required to carry VDS wether they are expired or not doesn't matter as a matter of compliance; however being good and serviceable is always the key
He is required to carry serviceable VDS. What I'm aware of is within two miles in inland waters you don't need them and anytime you go offshore.
Kevin Maguire
Kevin - he is not required to carry VDS, he is a manually propelled vessel it is exempt from the requirement where VDS is required during the day time. The two mile requirement is very often misinterpreted, especially by officers, the two mile applies to a vessel operating in coastal waters, coastal waters can included water that are consider inland. The 2 mile references the opening or shore to shore distance of an inlet or entrance to a body of water considered to be coastal. So basically when a vessel enters the ocean (unless exempt) VDS is required its inward from the ocean that confused people and officers too because you could be in a bay or harbor that requires VDS because shore to shore is greater than 2 miles, but if you pass an area where shore to shore is less then 2 miles VDS is no longer required no matter how large the body of water opens back up to (San Francisco bay is an great example).
I was in CG for thirty years and an LE instructor for 13years teaching this exact subject matter. I don't wish to show but pass on information, those officers were incorrect in the application of VDS for that vessel as it was operating at that time.
Thanks for your reply, it always great to have discussions, enjoy your weekend.
Ill look it up in the bojak
Kevin Maguire
The old boarding officer job aid kit - section "d" for details lol
Be safe out there buddy
“Trying to be nice” my ass. You kept your cool way better than I would have LOL.
Would target sheepers and redfish with those bottom sweepers!
"I'm trying to be nice"...🙄...I'll be targeting Blackfish in your old stomping ground..👍
*elias asks any question
"Nooo"
Wondering what I’d need to have ‘onboard ‘ if I was Free Swimming in that Area?
Kudos on keeping cool head with coasty, little ridiculous you couldn’t stay and fish
Tog.....and was it me or did she say you had to have flares outside of 3 miles then told you the 2 - 2.5 mile wrecks weren't OK???
The flares i keep on my boat I got from west marine come in a water tight box. Love the bottom sweepers catch sheepshead and flounder at mayport jetty.
“I’m trying to be nice” Usually nothing nice after that phrase
* asks if he can fish closer to shore * “no you have to get closer to shore.” 🤦🏻♂️
Outrage Quitter yea she was a str8 up bitch, saying I’m trying to be nice. It’s like ok y wouldn’t I be nice, smh
Lol
She, like typical police state tyrants, compensates for inadequacies with authoritarian aggression.
Good to know about the flares. Appreciate you sharing your experience.
I’d target flounder and taug. Would love to try those bottom sweeper jigs.
Awesome video like always. I just got my sons into fishing and we haven't had much luck because we don't have a boat and all we can do is surf, wade and jetty fish, but apparently not good at it or not using the right stuff. I would love to get my boys hooked onto a big red or nice size speckle, like I used to do with my dad before he passed. I have been watching tons of youtube videos to try and educate myself so that I can put us on the meat. So far the only meat I bring back home is the left over shrimp and mullet...lol. Keep the vids coming and FISH ON!
I guess i will start keeping flares now after seeing that. Sheephead with the bottom sweeper jigs!!!
Sucks you got sent in
I would love to catch a red drum
Never caught one
Wow! Big f**king suprise the coast guard officer didn't know the law. Nice to see that acting like a professional takes effort (sarcasm). Even better that the officer was a female! Represent ladies! Keep telling Men how much better you are than Men!
if the LAW says 3 miles then anything within should be fine. remember THEY WORK FOR YOU
No they work for the us government not you don’t get it confused, arguments will get you in trouble. I’d rather not get in an argument with men with guns 3 miles from shore where a simple lie will get them off scot free.
LOL look its a sovcit
A free man wouldnt have to pay any attention to the Sea Gestapo! Governmeent is not fit for purpose any more!
Matt...Unfortunately in this country you can't issue a cease-and-desist that tells the government that under no circumstances are they to render you any assistance under any circumstances even if your life is in danger. You can't give that document to the hospitals, the emergency squads, police departments, the CG, etc. It would be nice if life saving organizations got to pick and choose what people they render aid to and how many taxpayer dollars they are going to waste on idiots. Unfortunately we don't live in that society. As a 24 year Coastie I had to order more than one boat crew into harm's way to save idiots and believe me I wished at times I could just ignore a Mayday!
@@obxkoastie8170 what mayday? There's no mayday here you stupid bootlicker.
@@rockspoon6528 So edgy.
As men, in the image of the creator , we never needed a “fishing license “!!
Our education from birth has made us stupid, out of touch, and having no clue
Targeting Sheepshead and Black Drum. My daughter got me a kayak safety kit that included flares from a Gander Mountain Store as a Christmas gift...the flares were purchased new, already past their "shelf-life" (normally 3-1/2 years) and you couldn't tell until opening the package. Can you recommend a good VHF radio? Seems like there's some cheaper Chinese ones with decent specs and features, but lack quality in build (according to reviews).
The coast guard member, the woman, was not being "nice" as she claimed, seeing as she refused to tolerate any questions at all, and only was okay with an automatic acceptance of obedience to her dictation. Acts like she's a major power holder or something. Feels like she'd be the kind of CG member to criticize someone they're trying to save for "not being fast enough to the rescue device/divers". Nevertheless, that was a fantastic haul and day of fishing, even if cut short by a authoritarian type person.
The species I would target would be Lingcod, seeing as I live in the Pacific Northwest.
I never heard of a 3-mile flare requirement. Will someone explain that one? What I do find is 33 CFR 175.101 "Vessels operating on U.S. coastal waters, the Great Lakes, and territorial seas...must be equipped...", and, "Vessels owned in the United States and operating on the high seas (is that the 3-mile reference) must also be equipped..." (From what I read, the equipment required is the same.) Followed by, "The following vessels are _not_ (my emphasis) required to carry day signals, but must carry night signals when operating from sunset to sunrise:
Recreational boats less than 16 feet in length (how long is that kayak?).
Boats operating in ...races, etc.
Open sailboats etc.
Manually propelled boats." I suppose there would be an interesting discussion with lawyers whether the kayak is 'manually' propelled.
Anyway, why is he required to carry flares? Even if the 'day signal' rule applies, doesn't the orange distress flag meet the rule?
Your a brave dude to be fishing out in the blue miles in a kayak.
There are monsters out there hungry for floating meals.
There are monsters everywhere…
I love that she said you need flairs after 3 miles your at 3 1.... let it goooo holy hell. And then asked if you could fish the 2.5 and she said no like its within 3 so ima do it regardless. Id have been like mine does t say 3.1 come and check im within 3 lmao. I hate it when people try to enforce the laws that they dont know
They where absolutely in the wrong. Good for you I would have had a hard time not challenging them. Especially the female on an apparent ego trip...But anyway, good day on the water. Merrit Island, FL area here. Looking fwd to the cobia run that's just starting to fire up. Live bait I prefer blue crab but those muds look like great cobia bait! C'mon down to Merrit Island sometime...Kayak, a Scout 162sf and a Dusky 252 twin Suzuki 200's...C'mon get in!....
"i'm trying to be nice"
Me: "Is that difficult for you? " LOL
I'd target Redfish, and Drum in my neck of the woods.
Being recently retired from the CG after 28yrs service, she gives the CG a bad rap.... “I’m trying to be nice?!” How about be correct with your info and get off your power trip 20yr old E-4 with a stripe...
The USCG crew in this is absolutely wrong as others have said. Nighttime in coastal waters would require flares for the kayak. It’s dangerous when the people entrusted to enforce the regulations just try to make it up as they go along.
What happens of you just say no? Give me the ticket and go away..?
smart ass girl, didn't know the law and just wanted to be a PITA..... good vid, good catch!
Newbies, fresh out of the academy. Glad you didn't let them rattle you. Nice sheepshead.
I don’t think it would of been rude to ask if they would show you in the book were flares were mandatory on kayaks.
They said u have to have flares at 3 miles they should get there story straight before trying to tell people what to do they don't own the water
Someone Needs to Tighten up the knowledge and officer presence! Maybe run more scenarios of interacting with Mariners. We wait weeks for weather like that. Should have let him fish the closer wrecks. Tight Lines Elias! Way to keep a cool head!
As others have already said, make that call to HQ and talk with the CO. Don't let them ruin other fishermen's day on the water.
As for the Bottom Sweepers Jigs, I would target Sheepshead, Drum and Tog. But if it bends my rod i am not going to cry if it is something else.
If that women wasn't there I guarantee they wouldn't have made you go in.
I'm 62. My Grandfather was a life long commercial fisherman My Dad was in the USCG when they were relevant & nice guys. My Grand dad was an offshore Captain who took folks party fishing in the 40's into the 60's for tuna, swordfish, Sailfish, Mako sharks, Marlins etc. So basically a fishing family outta Connecticut. I feel entitled to say the following . If you take time off from work to go fishing be it on your own vessel or a charted vessel once the USCG Googans or the DEEP get involved in your day the day is usually spoiled by them. I know they do "some" good usually in dire circumstances , but I resent having any of them spoiling a good or bad day of fishing by their unwanted & harrassing presence . I've been harassed by them. With my 2 younger children on my boat whilst wearing brand new life vests and plenty of floatation . The "Boss" of the googans stepped into my boat and did a quick passive aggressive look at my reaction. If I'd shown any resistance he would have arrested me in front of my kids. You know what kind of man would do that don't you . I knew his games and just smiled with an extended hand. Instead of insuring safety they are out to mostly antagonize sportsman, their friends & family. And Yet they wonder why lots, not all, of the boating public has ill feelings to those empowered bully's on the water. They try to create issues instead of helping.
USCG definitely wrong I could not accept it
Elias, great video. Paddle drive,paddle ,dry suite, life jacket, how much more do you need? God bless
Oh the puddle pirates are giving you beef lol
I would not ask permission for anything
Love the few minutes of fishing in this video already. Always learning from you man.
I would use this bait ti target sheepshead, seabass, drums, tautog & red fish as well.
Wow that coast guard lady was extremely rude
Thumbs up man, way to carry yourself… fishing for the sheep and taug with the sweeper
I'll be targeting flounder, blues and bass in the back-bays of jersey
I really hate it when someone is given a bit of authority and then tries to exercise it without knowing what they're doing. Maybe she was at 3.1 but she was also a long way from him. Was teh boat driver incompetent and the Coasties couldn't get closer? The Coasties I know from a different era though, were far more competent. And then the answer about the 2.5 mile wrecks.
She had zero on you (you're exempt from needing the flares) and thinks she "did her job" when in reality she screwed up and failed miserably. At least deserves a call to the command.
You should have tricked Mrs. Big Britches by asking if you can pack up and go home.......NOoOoOo!
Ok, I'll stay here then.
Love to be part of the give away. I fish Tog in Massachusetts and RI. Thanks for the opportunity...
Bunch of people trying to ruin a fisherman's day. Wish I could give my unsensored opinion on this. Good luck brother! Don't let those people screw up your day!
It would be interesting to target pompano on the jig but most likely I would end up targeting sheepshead and drum.
She says she's "trying to be nice". My question is what about this interaction warrants her to not be nice? Thats why most people dislike people in places of authority such as police and this dumb lady for being so ready to escalate a non issue
The drug cartels never get bothered because they carry all safety equipment
What a waste of government money.
I picked up some Orion pocket rocket aerial signal flares, they came in a plastic water tight tube. I would target some Sheepshead!
Sucks you didn't have a gun to legally shoot them.
"Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State,
136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S.,177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”
Daniel Szabo shot at coast guard members trying to board him and was only charged with failure to stop since the boarding was illegal.
"A federal jury has found a man accused of firing at a U.S. Coast Guard crew not guilty of both weapons charges handed down in an indictment by a grand jury in September.
Daniel Michael Szabo, 41, was facing a possible life prison sentence for charges of trying to kill a Coast Guard officer during a boarding and using a firearm while committing a violent crime.
But jurors on April 6 only found Szabo guilty of failing to stop his vessel when ordered to do so by the Coast Guard.""
Dang suck you had to leave on a good bite. Sheepshead
Visual Distress Signals (VDS)
A Visual Distress Signal (VDS) is any device you can use to help others locate your boat quickly in the case of an emergency. Visual distress signals include day signals that are visible in sunlight, night signals that are visible in the dark, and anytime signals that can be used both day and night. VDS are either pyrotechnic, which use smoke and flame, or non-pyrotechnic, which are non-combustible. There are a wide variety of signals that can be carried to meet federal boating regulations.
The law states that no person may use a distress signal under any circumstances unless assistance is needed because of immediate or potential danger to the persons onboard.
In other words, never use a VDS unless it’s an emergency. Breaking the law can come with serious penalties!
All recreational boats operating in U.S. Coastal Waters or the Great Lakes, or bodies of water directly connected to U.S. Coastal Waters or the Great Lakes---up to a point where those waters are less than 2 miles wide---are required by law to be equipped with visual distress signals.
U.S. owned boats must also carry visual distress signals when operating in international waters.
There are some exceptions. During daytime hours the following boats are not required to carry visual distress signals:
Boats less than 16 feet in length;
Boats participating in organized events, such as regattas;
Open sailboats that are less than 26 feet in length and not equipped with an engine;
And manually propelled boats, such as canoes.
These boats are only required to carry visual distress signals approved for nighttime use when operating at night in the above listed waters.
