im subbed to hundreds fishing channels on youtube. you are my favorite.. there is something genuine about you, you dont try too much and it feels natural , you dont attack or overwhelm the viewer.. you are doing things right brother.
Polomar Knot is hands down the most secure and easiest knot to tie. Knot failures happen to the best of fisherman. Use a surgeons knot for connecting braid to mono. Quality line and tackle make for better fishing, especially in a yak.
Good call trying to fish the outgoing tide. Having lived in the Lowcountry for years, I have consistent luck with outgoing tides, less so with incoming tides. Keep up the great vids!
Success is achieved through hard work and strong work ethic, you never give up which is why we keep tuning in. My boys and I really enjoy your vids. You are setting a great example, we appreciate that!
Hey Rich,Mike here from HB. You my friend are the best fishing technician on you tube and I have learned a lot watching your videos! I’d like to see you focus on your reel retrieve when fishing artificials!TY
If you ever come back to the lowcountry the main thing that has worked for me is fishing outgoing and incoming tide, and fishing small creeks with a lot of oysters in the evening🤙🎣
When you were catching that bait off the dock about halfway through you caught a tiny redfish in the net! Showed it off like it was a big croaker or something lol. I fish in Savannah and it’s been really cool to see some of these older videos and how much you’ve progressed as a fisherman and also video creator!
Hey Rich, next time you launch here you need to fish the launch side of the dock you were on at min 9 - it's usually stacked with reds... and work the docks the opposite way you went from there too, almost always produce. The least I can say to thank you for all your videos!
Friendly suggestion to prevent loss of fish: Double circle knot with Spider Wire. You will never lose a fish to a failed knot again. Your technique looks great. You just need better line and better knot.
Good work by the way. Johnson's gold spoons in 1/4oz and topwater plugs like zara spook Jrs are top baits for NC reds at the moment. Conditions are very similar down there.
Hey I wanted to say. I really do like seeing you work the lure. I can't wait to catch one if those reds. Most of the time I'm working for redbreast/bream and bass. I'm slowly working my compass out further and further to the salty lol Loves the vids thanks man😇
Thats my home. Charleston fishing can be kinda rough sometimes. Mostly fish our beaches but I have a couple creek spots that produce pretty well. Keep up the good work.
When you get back up to the DE/NJ area, we are getting blitzed by big bluefish -amongst other species. It would be easy for a skilled angler like you to get on a bite. Ive enjoyed watching your series in this trip, glad u seem to be feeling better again!!
Believe it or not, pier fishing central California we just happened to bring along night crawlers. We tried them out and caught fish pretty quick! I suppose they squirm in the salt water and die in a few minutes providing a lot of motion. They lasted only a few minutes. Just a note of interest, but it really surprised us.
Just started watching your vids great content.. had a question I see you walking on a lot of docks are these all public? Im from Texas and the laws are strict for docs being private property just curious. Keep up the good work
Sore lip em all Rich ! Favorite channel ! Just up the road a piece from your home waters. Been fishing Old Saybrook and the mini line siders are in and it's getting better every day ! -Tight lines equals good time's!
Three words... Improved Clinch Knot. They wont snap those one you. I must say you have great fish handling tactics. Very little time out of the water. Great releases!
I was being lazy. I should of tied a better knot but tbh I was feeling pretty hopeless and of course when you're least prepared is when the nice one is going to hit haha.
Great video. Savannah Charleston and Beaufort are hard to fish, you really have to be patient with those areas. I find that half way through the out going tide and a hour in is the best. Swim bait works the best.
Googan Fishaholic I’ll admit it. And I didn’t even realize what I had in my bait bucket looked like a baby red. Rest assure I tried a minnow then dumped the little red fish and all the bait because the DOA was working. I should just stick to artificials 🙄😂
Put the line through the eye of the hook and then pull about 2 inches through and pinch the line end against the main line making a loop around the hook. Twist the hook to add wraps to the line at least five times then feed it through the tiny opening below the wrapped line you should now see a tiny loop above the wrapped line take the free end and pass it through this second loop. Then tighten the main not before pulling on the tail end again to tighten loop. After you tie this knot a few times it will become muscle memory and it never ever lets go the line breaks first.
I fish the Wando from my kayak. Caught a number 28 in. reds back last year, but none since. The reds move around so sometimes hard to chase on a kayak; however, Plenty of trout the way I fish. 15 on a typical good day. I have a few clips on youtube under Charleston SC kayak fishing. I fish from Daniel Island.
Whoops I didn’t read I thought you said the bigger redfish I lost was a juvenile. But yeah the one in the bucket looks like a baby red. I didn’t use it though tried a minnow before catching the flounder then snagged an oyster and lost it so dumped the bait and just fished the DOA.
Yeah me being a Googan at its finest 🙄 I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out. Good thing I used one of those minnows then caught the first redfish and then threw the bait over.
id looove to go fishin with you, you could show me the ropes ;) been fishing all my life but its been awhile, and im actually watching this video because I jus moved to this area and want to get familiar with the fish and the techniques used round here!! thanks for making this cutie, keep up the good work!!! ;*
I have had a guard for a couple months and I’ve dropped it in the sand and dunked it a bunch of times and still smooth as butter those 13 seals really help it.
Just found your channel and subbed. I am curious and have a question. What do you use your Lowrance on a kayak for? I usually kayak fish in very shallow water and do not need a sonar/fishfinder but a gps might be useful. I love my Garmin in my boat though.
Yeah if I wasn’t being lazy and changed my leader after Savannah and checked my knots I probably would of succeeded but you know you live and you learn.
Hey man, I'm in Savannah this summer. How the heck do you catch flounder in Savannah from the shore/bank/dock? What do you use, and what technique works best? The fishing has been very poor lately here.
Nice video, but just a heads up, that fish you caught in the net at 9:34 was definitely a baby redfish. (even had the spot on the tail already) That'd turn out to be some expensive bait if a game warden caught you with it.
Yeah it looks like it is I didn’t even notice🙄. Me being a Googan at its finest. Good thing I used like one minnow then caught the first redfish then threw the bait over.
I tie uni-knots all the time but I was just being lazy after fishing all day and not checking my knots or just using a clinch because I fished aaa lot of hours.

First 6 minutes had my Emotions all over the place 🤣🤣🎣🎣
Something is wrong with your knots or with your leader.
Yeah fishing all day and not re-tying or checking the knots doesn’t help haha 🙄
Just made the seasonal drive Florida n back n said one these days I'm gonna do this hit the sweet spots on way....congrats living the dream still

Nice video! You need way more subscribers!
Thats my home. Charleston fishing can be kinda rough sometimes. Mostly fish our beaches but I have a couple creek spots that produce pretty well. Keep up the good work.
Yo when you caught bait and picked up that little fish and said it would be “killer bait” that was a baby red fish🤣🤣
Lol glad I'm not the only one
About one more month and the creeks will be full of even more baitfish. Twisty tail green grubs work great too.
When you get back up to the DE/NJ area, we are getting blitzed by big bluefish -amongst other species. It would be easy for a skilled angler like you to get on a bite. Ive enjoyed watching your series in this trip, glad u seem to be feeling better again!!
I live in Savannah (use to live in the north). Knowledgeable and entertaining, Great Video!!
New subscriber. Really enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing.
The Wando is great water, but it takes about 10 days to really home in on where the reds hang. You did OK for hitting it cold.
So it's worth the shot?
Yeah tough place to fish but definitely a lot of potential. Really want to go back in the fall
First! Awesome video Rich. See you soon in mtk 👊
Be out there in a few days tight Lines!
Nice video bro and just to let you know i just liked
Awesome thanks bro!
Nice video Rich. Wish we could've got a look at that first red.
Believe it or not, pier fishing central California we just happened to bring along night crawlers. We tried them out and caught fish pretty quick! I suppose they squirm in the salt water and die in a few minutes providing a lot of motion. They lasted only a few minutes. Just a note of interest, but it really surprised us.

You should try a popping Cork and that vudu shrimp you love in Charleston! Nice vid
I live a few miles from that boat landing at the beginning of your video. Going fishing now
Three black dots on that second red that one looked cool
Sore lip em all Rich !
Favorite channel ! Just up the road a piece from your home waters.
Been fishing Old Saybrook and the mini line siders are in and it's getting better every day !
-Tight lines equals good time's!
Seabrook ? Island? North beach or just north of Barrier islands camp?
Good Video Congratulations Fisherman.
God be with you!
Hug and good fishing!👍🎣🐠🐟
Hey! That larger bait you netted and put in your bucket was a baby redfish...
Three words... Improved Clinch Knot. They wont snap those one you. I must say you have great fish handling tactics. Very little time out of the water. Great releases!

Awesome thanks for the advice!
You need to try the popping cork with jig, it's a southern thing. It's not too different from the float / fly that you use for albies.
Yeah I’ve heard from everyone to try it I need to get a couple for next time
Googan Fishaholic I’ll admit it. And I didn’t even realize what I had in my bait bucket looked like a baby red. Rest assure I tried a minnow then dumped the little red fish and all the bait because the DOA was working. I should just stick to artificials 🙄😂
No worries dude was a croaker
Paradise landing. Man wish I would have known. I live here in charleston
Yeah pretty nice spot to launch 🤙🏻
Do you have the address for it? Im having a hard time finding it on Maps. Thanks!
Kane Murfin if you still need directions reach out to me. It’s definitely not a low tide launch with a bay boat but great for flats boats and kayaks.
Great vids man! Keep up the awesome content
Dude I had a monster on couple weeks ago I’m so excited then boom leader knot just blows out 😢😢😢I felt your pain 😂
Put the line through the eye of the hook and then pull about 2 inches through and pinch the line end against the main line making a loop around the hook. Twist the hook to add wraps to the line at least five times then feed it through the tiny opening below the wrapped line you should now see a tiny loop above the wrapped line take the free end and pass it through this second loop.

Loved the southern adventures videos
Wife says she likes that you're honest and you say many hours later it shows that it happens to everybody

You gotta use popping corks with a live shrimp in Savannah
The one thing I've learned from this episode- loosen your ******* drag
And he needs to tie a better knot that was his main problem I always find a Palomar knot to work best never comes undone
Wrong lol if your lines too tight you worry about pulling the hook or breaking off.. not your knot untying lmao
Jiggen has it,s ups and downs...but those reds were pretty...Jersy is waiting lot of action up here
Keep up the good vids :)
Don’t use that baby red fish you got a couple in there I hope you throw them back
I saw that spot on the tail and thought it was one..
Yeah I only used the minnows and threw everything back after catching the first red.
Well I guess the first red was the one I caught in the cast net haha 🙄 me in The low-country=Googan
That's a croaker
We're jealous that place is beautiful
Definitely go visit if you get the chance!
Loop knot never fails
That big bait fish was a juvenile redfish
Yeah yeah for me it was big gotta start somewhere
Whoops I didn’t read I thought you said the bigger redfish I lost was a juvenile. But yeah the one in the bucket looks like a baby red. I didn’t use it though tried a minnow before catching the flounder then snagged an oyster and lost it so dumped the bait and just fished the DOA.
I should just stick to artificials when I’m in a new area.
Dats bait wasnt a baby red fish...dat was a croaker
@Nickhead87 lol yea dat
It looks like maybe better use of drag might protect line and knots a bit more.
Nice baby red fish in the cast net
Great vid bro
Nice video bud!try Bushy Park!
Yeah I’ve fished that area multiple times and pulled out a few good reds, never really on live bait always on the artificial baits.
Hi there, what is the model of your kajak, love your videos.
FF to May of 2022, and I bust out on that 2nd loss, when the rod hit the deck.....
Was that nice guy that you got on the second throw with the net a baby spot tail?
Next time you're in East Central Florida let me know and lets make a video!
That flounder would of gone into my cooler! Definitely a keeper where I live
That’s not a keeper
Anyone else notice the baby redfish in his bucket
Yeah me being a Googan at its finest 🙄 I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out. Good thing I used one of those minnows then caught the first redfish and then threw the bait over.
Vudu Shrimp will kill it out there too
id looove to go fishin with you, you could show me the ropes ;) been fishing all my life but its been awhile, and im actually watching this video because I jus moved to this area and want to get familiar with the fish and the techniques used round here!! thanks for making this cutie, keep up the good work!!! ;*
Hello from Germany✌🏻️🎣
Sick man hope you enjoyed!
Good stuff as always, Rich! Any thoughts/comments on the Guard?
Yeah so far it’s a good reel. Actually dropped it in the water in St Augustine by accident(I can be a klutz) and it’s still working really well.
I have had a guard for a couple months and I’ve dropped it in the sand and dunked it a bunch of times and still smooth as butter those 13 seals really help it.
Lol. If you put that baby red in the video to make the comments go viral you're a genius.
Just found your channel and subbed. I am curious and have a question. What do you use your Lowrance on a kayak for? I usually kayak fish in very shallow water and do not need a sonar/fishfinder but a gps might be useful. I love my Garmin in my boat though.
I would've lost it after those two break offs
Yeah if I wasn’t being lazy and changed my leader after Savannah and checked my knots I probably would of succeeded but you know you live and you learn.
@@FishAholicTV yea, your knot faild you.
Hey man, I'm in Savannah this summer. How the heck do you catch flounder in Savannah from the shore/bank/dock? What do you use, and what technique works best? The fishing has been very poor lately here.
Lol at 9:57 these like a mullet that jumps to the left of the kayak
I know everyone fishes they're own way, but I've never lost anything on a TA clip with a Palomar knot
Yeah I was being lazy and after fishing aaaall day changing lures and not getting bit I slacked off using just a clinch 🙄
Love your video
Great video! Too bad for that big red! What knot do you use?
Caught so many fish in paradise landing
U should fish Sebastian inlet if u want giant redfish
Nice video, but just a heads up, that fish you caught in the net at 9:34 was definitely a baby redfish. (even had the spot on the tail already) That'd turn out to be some expensive bait if a game warden caught you with it.
Croaker
Yeah it looks like it is I didn’t even notice🙄. Me being a Googan at its finest. Good thing I used like one minnow then caught the first redfish then threw the bait over.
Hey bud. Where did you launch from in Charleston? Just got into Yak fishing and it seems like a cool area
How do you like the tsunami reels?
You're not going to fish NC?
Checkout the Wilmington area if ya can
May be your last chance to catch red fish etc
Nice one.. Idol
Use the perfection loop...never had one break
I’ll check it out.
9:40 looks like a fingerling red drum. Even had a spot on tail. Pretty sure not legal . Nice job figuring em out.
Croaker
@@scottwagner5358 ok. Was thinking that but the spot on the tail had me wondering. Thanks
I threw em all back only used the minnows for bait.
@@FishAholicTV all good not bustin your chops. After further review the consensus is a croaker. Keep up the good work bud.
is that model reel from tsunami any good? was thinking about getting theyre 6000 combo for a cobia jig rod
It’s decent we’ll have to see after this season how it holds up.
Rich, last time .... go to a uni-knot !! ... and uni-2-uni splice. Hesitant ? Ask Elias !!
I tie uni-knots all the time but I was just being lazy after fishing all day and not checking my knots or just using a clinch because I fished aaa lot of hours.

palomar, blood knot, and fg knot. That hasn't happened to me in 10 years
Yhe one biat when he picked it up I am pretty shure that that was ether croker or a baby redfish
I like it.....from indonesian
There some good spots on the wando
Nice bro
did nobody see the fish jump out of the water at 7:40
Hope you were smart enough to throw back those baby redfish O.o hard to believe you didnt realize what that was and immediately release it
Good job bos.....hehe
9:36 that's a baby redfish by the way.
Show 👏
Thx for the vid. In first lol
