Awesome fishing video guys! Loved it, keep them awesome videos coming 👍! So many gawkers though🤦♂🤣😂🤣. Got new fisherman subscriber here from Kazakhstan😉🖐😎
Same in Louisiana. The marshes around New Orleans are truly the Sportsman's Paradise. You can catch reds, specks, flounder, bass and sac au lait (crappie) in the same spot, on the same lure. We use the popping cork with 1/16 ounce Deathgrip jighead and Matrix Shad soft bait. My favorite is the Holey Joely. Pop the cork every 10 to 15 seconds.
This was a fun video!! Love that you shared the fish y'all are going to throw back and your interactions with the public. Hope y'all had a good time. Blessings!
That area from 5:30 on is my favorite place to kayak fish. Caught my top 2 PB snook there. Haven't been there since 2022 because of the hurricane but I hope to get there next year!
I love fishing SW FL… I get down there a few times a year to fish. I was there right before you were down there. Had a good day, considering there was a really big storm the night before had the water all messed up. Great video!
I've been to Sanibel Island many times and the best way to catch snook (in my opinion) is to go to the wildlife refuge at low tide, wade out on the flats in the evening, and start throwing topwater lures (I use spooks). I caught my pb this way.
Hey Brad. I enjoy you're vids, particularly how sweet you are fishing with your little boy and the whole crew in the catch and cook episodes in your kitchen. I really appreciate good daddies. Looks like you are one. Now to the fishing. I've fished the Blind Pass bridge a lot over the years. When my son was young we tried to stay 1 week in the summer on Sanibel and fished the beaches and Blind Pass on foot. Ive caught more snook, faster, at Blind pass than anywhere in South Florida. Here's the "secret". Fish the up current side on an outgoing tide using chrome with blue back rattle traps on light tackle. 10lb mono with 30lb floro leader. We would arrive in the afternoon and fish while mom was over on the beach taking sunset pics.It was often nonstop fish until the sun set. had 3 rods rigged the same way and my boy fished and when he landed the snook I'd grab the rod and he'd grab another one and hook another snook while I unhooked the one he just caught. It was so fast that I frequently had a snook in one hand. A rod with another shook laying at my feet and my boy trying to hand me the 3rd rod with snook attached. Your kids would love it I bet.
One small tip if you read these... when you retrieve you fly like put the tip of fly rod close to the water, fly rods have a lot of flex so most fish will be able to take the fly and shake the hook before you get a chance to actually set the hook. Also don't trout set look up how to strip set that's the standard for salt water fish
The best thing you could keep in your fishing bag for little cuts or the fish stabbing you is called Bactine it’s an antiseptic in a spray bottle. Best thing ever.
I was at your first location last year post storm and I wasn’t able to fish the pass. It was full of logs and I kept getting snagged up. The long road place was on fire for snook. Used Yo zuri topwater plug
That was no big ladyfish! About 5 July's ago my son and I caught a bunch of 5-7 pounders! I'd never seen them anywhere near that big. They were eating 6-7" mullet we had out for reds. We got in the middle of a bull red feeding frenzy on that trip, too. Not one under 30"!
It's been years since I seen them giant ladyfish over 3 ft up to 4 ft long but it's also been years since I've seen a 2-pound pinfish also or 20 lb jack crevalle but for the last 20 plus years I've only fished offshore between 50 and 100 miles Southwest Florida
Thank you Chris for pronouncing sheepshead correctly. The second "s" is silent. When you pass a field and there are animals saying "bah bah bah' do you say look at all those sheeps out there. Or, look at all of those sheep? Snook on a fly rod? Good job, Brad!
Sorry. I couldn’t see the teeth. Lol. The shape of the fore head looked like drum to me. Maybe it was the angle. I had only watched the first few minutes of it last night. So the only ones I had seen were the small ones you caught in the beginning.
Awesome fishing video guys! Loved it, keep them awesome videos coming 👍! So many gawkers though🤦♂🤣😂🤣. Got new fisherman subscriber here from Kazakhstan😉🖐😎
I love it when the Florida folks say " the water is a little dirty today". Meanwhile us Texas folk going " damn that water looks so good!"
right, we fish chocolate milk in NC
@@salteastsimon same in most parts of Texas lol. We get those days where you can see a foot into the water and thats almost perfect conditions
lol I know right! We get a lot of dirty water here in Bama too. But for south Florida, that was dirty
Cracks me up too. 35 and drizzle rain with 15 mph winds here. That's not fun. Looks like shorts weather there to me.🤣👍😄

Saltwater fly fishing is intriguing. I’d like to see more of that.
Wow, finally moved to the fast current spot. The strike was solid and released again, continued success my friend 👍👍🙏 18:21
Love the videos Brad you never fail to disappoint with one video after another, keep up the great work. ❤
Thanks man!

Awesome video Brad! The fly fishing looks so neat! I just wouldn’t even know where to start with it 😂
Great video Brad.
Looks like you are having a blast
Thanks!
Blind Pass... My favorite SWFL fishing spot, Caught my first snook.. It's amazing how hot that place gets when the tide changes.
Florida Fly Fishing is something I would love to do. New sub. Thanks man.
Hey nice catch Brad really enjoy the video dude if you’re still there travel safe buddy ✌️

Those helicopters are spraying for mosquitoes. I visit Sanibel regularly...last time I hammered snook at blind pass every morning. I love that island!
Fishing becomes so much harder when you have an audience lol. Some really cool spots there!
What a great day
I admire you, you are successful people, your country is very developed, introduce me to your friends, I like America. greetings from Indonesia
Good place to stay out of the element there under that bridge.👍😄
all the bird watchers enjoying the show!!
They were everywhere!
Nicely done
Awesome stuff dude!

About time you used a fly rod, good job !

Kool video, Brad
Thanks!
My first fish caught on a fly was on the American River by Shasta, man!, I had to work for it.
The best thing you could keep in your fishing bag for little cuts or the fish stabbing you is called Bactine it’s an antiseptic in a spray bottle. Best thing ever.
You might want to practice fly casting in a field or farm pond. 😂
Go to Bokeelia Pier for Pie and Yo Taco since you're in that area
Hey brad did you know, if you had a net you woulda landed that fish 😂😂 congrats on your first fish with a fly rod 🤙🏻
Brad looks like the water was flowing through that spillway was someone fishing the other side? Seems like that would be a spot to try.
Sanibel and Captiva for Sheepshead are best with Sand Fleas or small crabs.
That helicopter was spraying for mosquitoes. I live Fort Myers and it’s always flying overhead 😊
Oh and Bokeelia is on pine island and some big shnook
Good 😊
Go over to Marco island and catch inshore grouper around any structure in the gulf

That’s insane!
Oh, yeah. They pulled like mules on meth!@@BeardedBrad92

Snook on a fly rod? Good job, Brad!
Sheepsheads.
s ; Sheepshead pl; Sheepshead, like the fishheads were sunbathing on the beach drinking beer.
Great way to end it with a snook.
🤙😎
That spill way looks amazing man can you tell me exactly where it is? I wanna know so bad I love going to blind pass but too much people
What part of Sanibel did you guys catch that tarpon?
Here because I thought you were bearded bassin 😂
lol thanks for stopping by!
I’m here to stay, thanks for the great content 🤙
Make a paste with baking soda and water and put it on the holes in your leg.
Practice cast the fly rod at home. Plenty of room there.
A white Bucktail in that blind pass is the ticket just a regular quarter ounce white Bucktail
Lot of spectators. Did they hear legendary fishermen, Bearded Brad and Chris, out there today?
😂
If only you had brought a net you would have got that fish!
Hey Brad. If you would have had your net you wouldn't have lost that fish
lol I know right!
Willard Scott had a house at one end of the bridge years ago and the channel filled up after a hurricane and opened up after another
What do you even use for fly fishing inshore
No idea lol. It was one of my friends. I don’t know anything about fly fishing
If you had a net you would’ve caught that fish 😉
Right!😂
First
If you would have had a net, you would've caught that fish! 😂 jk
Catch and cook you guys could have had lunch .
I’ve never seen anyone pull it onto land like that so you can release them. Like Fk- get a net so the fish doesn’t get destroyed
Only cause you said someone would say this just know if you had a net you woulda caught that fish🤣🤣🥴🥴
😂
You are really good at losing fish.
Fish police.... also why are there SO MANY PEOPLE WATCHING YOU GUYS FISH?
You would have to take the hook out if you had a net.
Didn’t wet your hands on the trout and just name dropping spots seeeeesh
Getting back to your tourist Roots I see
😂
I too am an expert at loosing fish.
If you would've brought a net, you would've caught that fish.
Always the net!
Hey what's that chick's name oh Annette! You need Annette when you go fishing 😅
That helicopter was spraying for skeeters and tourists
were you out at ding darling?
yall need a net
We're is this?
Sanibel
What is a "destroyed island"?
Those weren’t sheepshead. They were juvenile black drum. They look like sheepshead when they’re young.
Black drum look similar, but definitely sheepshead
Sorry. I couldn’t see the teeth. Lol. The shape of the fore head looked like drum to me. Maybe it was the angle. I had only watched the first few minutes of it last night. So the only ones I had seen were the small ones you caught in the beginning.
