Fishing is hard I’m this area right now due to the cold weather and water but I see your point and his he’s trying to make money can’t fault someone when they are trying to make some extra cash
Thanks for watching and commenting. Relentless red tide killed fish for one entire year three years ago and then red tide wiped out fish for 9 months last year in this area, also 5 years ago we had massive red tide fish kills. This is the reason fishing is tough in our area, not because I make videos. If locals recognize a spot that's great, but I only announce where I'm fishing about once or twice a year out of 450 fishing adventures published on Yotube. When I do let viewers know where I'm fishing it's usually a public pier on the beach somewhere. This works two ways, the guy who watches my video and gets upset because I show a location is the same guy who watches my videos to find a location to fish.
@@RadReelingFishing absolutely I think this summer is gonna be great fishing didn’t get hit with any redtide in 2023 thank god think a lot of our red tide issues were a direct result from a specific waste water plant here locally they were caught dumping millions of gallons into a run off that lead to Phillipi creek and the epa fined the hell out of em but once they stopped dumping redtide didn’t affect this area hopefully we see the same result this year
@@RadReelingFishing do you have a truck camping video playlist… I couldn’t find it 😟 when I’m doing my college school assignments I like to watch the truck camping videos… it provides so sort of comfort I wasn’t expecting 👍🏼😊
Mud crabs are the best I hook them through the under belly flap. Biggest sheep head I ever caught was in canal under bridge of Park Blvd. Love watching videos keep doing them
Because of you I went out all day, flipped rocks and gathered good size fiddler crabs then fished some sea walls and docks round here in central FL, no catches yesterday but gonne keep trying
Hey JC...man you ain't kidding your livin the dream Brother , Finally got a decent 171/2" Keeper sheeper the other day hopefully they are starting to move into my area...going out tomorrow ...Yea Buddy , I hear you on needing to take some time for you ,my wife retired a few months ago and she's busier than when she was working ...LOL let me know if your coming my way and I'll set up that charter we talked about ... Gods Blessing Brother...
JC, I was out on my kayak on Sunday morning. It was brutal but I did catch some stud 20+" sheepies, a few snook and a gator trout. Was fighting the wind all morning though.
We never had much luck fishing the small canal bridges for sheepshead, etc. The big pass bridges hold a lot more fish, especially in the deeper water near the channels, by the fender pilings. Hard to fish them in windy and rainy weather though, especially from a kayak, if fishing from the bridge is not an option.
I get out fishing every weekend in my Oldtown Autopilot. Last weekend was one of the best weekends I’ve had. Saturday I ended up catching 25 reds (4 being slot) and 1 15 1/2” flounder. Sunday I did better with the reds catching 35 reds (3 being slot).
Happy fishing Monday JC I haven't been able to go Pier fishing 🎣 since it been raining for 3 days straight over her in California hopefully I can Pier fish in February I'm still sad that your zebco spinning combo whent down to the ocean floor
I always enjoy watching your videos brother! Looking forward to more truck camping as well. It would be cool to see some local foraging thrown in the catch and cooks. Lots of classes down there for that kind of thing. Just an idea. Cheers buddy and tight lines! 🤙🏻
Caught a big 20 inch sheep’s head on my lunch break the other day. Got some blue mussels on the pillings, no rod just 20lb mono & 3/o circle hook. Was a tasty one! 😁
You inspire me so much. We do get just so busy we forget what living really is. I work at a large church in the facilities department and then there is Church on Sunday but I feel like I just need to go do an adventure with God and fishing lol
My pastor of many years periodically would encourage us to just take a break and go enjoy the beach or something on Sunday instead of attending church.
Wishin is wuz fishin....our water is a little hard right now and very cold 😢. Looking forward to getting back to my homestate for some fishing this summer in Fla. Good video
Hey JC, love watching your catch and cook videos. Do you ever fish for Speckled Trout? I have a place that is killing the trout. Me and one friend caught 121 trout in one morning. DOA lure that you already use a lot for snook. Sheepshead are schooling on my dock and easy to catch if you have crabs or small shrimp with small hooks. Also, catching redfish (mainly rats but some smaller legal slot fish too) by the dozens with live shrimp. 🍤 Hit me up if you want to give ‘er a go with me. Weather looks like it’s going to get a little nicer over the next week so it’s time to get my boat on some spots. Sounds like Captain Todd landed a 40”+ snook from the cove which we can sight fish from the boat. He used live shrimp. I like the white bait but the closest guy in Cortez with pilchards isn’t opening up until February. If we go to Manatee to get our bait from Matt then it’s best to fish that area. More snook and bigger reds up river on the Manatee. Or we can always try our friends at our friendly bait shop for some shrimpy tasting snook! 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting. Sounds like you've got some fish dialed in John. That's a lot of trout! I'm up for a fishing adventure for sure in a couple of weeks.
Great video. Thanks. Catch n cook is appealing to me big time. Have always heard that Sheepshead were difficult to clean. Appreciate the demo showing it's not all that difficult. Do you use the wagon on the beach or is that strictly bridge and pier? Beach carts have become quite pricey. This video was informative, enjoyable and made me hungry for fish sliders. Subscribed and following. After 40 years away from fishing I am returning. Ohhhh, the fun!
If you decide to make a road trip to the panhandle and Alabama coast. Let me know and I’ll get you hooked up with a few of my buddies up there that are content creators as well. Until then keep on keeping on brother.
I'm confused. Could have swore I saw you using that pole crappie fishing... Ended up giving it to Davie's Locker. Good video. Also, pretty sure I met those young fishermen at a boat ramp nearby. They said they were going out on the gulf to try for fish out there since the water was somewhat calm that day. They also told me about a spot that they have been catching 35" snook. Thanks for the inspirational and educational videos.
Great vid as always JC, you should come out with an online or paperback book on the best fishing locations in the Tampa Bay/Central Florida area. I don't want any commission for the idea just a free book, 😂 I think a lot of the people not catching Sheaphead may be using too heavy of a sinker or to short of a leader or combination of both
JC, just curious how the Ozark Trail Saltwater reel is holding up??? Haven’t heard you mention it, and I was thinking of trying to find one. Thanks, and keep the videos coming!
Try out Jack Crevalle Ceviche. Add bell pepper, jalapeño, orange slices cut up and onion. Depending on amount you’re making split the juice between lemon and lime and add 1 grapefruit. Whatever spices you like and some cilantro. Key ingredient is cocktail sauce. Trash fish? No such thing.
I like the double burner stove because it has the wind guard. The single burner stove is good for when I need to be more compact with gear. Plus the double stove was a gift from one of my kids.
I thought you lost that rod ? Though it fell off the kayak . And yes you are living the dream .From one 60 something to another. I'm in ontario canada thinking how awesome it would be to have endless summer to fish. But i'm stuck with 5 months. I go to florida maybe once every 2 years . Redington beach area . This time when i go maybe I can Shake your hand and say HI . Love the vids later
Great video, thought you might be eating McDs , way to hang in there. Btw you should cut all the way to the eyeball, you will get a extra couple more mouth fulls of fish for all your hard work.
Ooh, did he break one? I watched his videos on where he got those cheap green rods and went to Walmart and now own 3 (or maybe 4, I've lost count) 🙂... they are so whippy...
@ChipMautz the pole is hooked to a fish somewhere in the water he was fishing in. It's like tagged fish. Only if you catch it the prize is a rod and reel combo lol.
All right you said something about flipping rocks for crabs. You said make sure they don't have a stripes around their legs. What if they do? I'm just curious. I've never done this. It's just something that I would like to know in case I do decide to do it. I've got plenty of soft plastic fake crabs but apparently they don't work (for me anyway 😂). But just tell me some time, or anyone reading this can let me. Cool 😎 bro keep up the videos and fishing! God bless!
I'd invest in a drop net or make one instead dragging a fish to the bank if there is even a place to go. There's a net on amazon for 16 dollars that would be good to make one, Dovesun Fishing Net. Just need a rod to make the hoop and some para cord and maybe a few carabiners. I made a net for my jon boat from a X large sports equipment bag that is about 24in in dia an 4 or 5 foot long and a length of 3/8 in. alum rod to hang over the side to keep fish alive when I'm Crappie,White Bass,Yellow Perch,etc. fishing that's equivalent to making a drop net.
Thanks for watching and for the idea! I have a bridge net, just really didn't think of brining it for Sheepshead fishing. I usually use it for big Snook on the bridge, but now that you've mentioned this...
@@RadReelingFishing Just throwing ideas out. After thinking a lil more about it,I'd probably drop it over the side when I got there to the depth it needs to be to net a fish and tie it to something if there is anything. Then when I hook one just toss it over.
I hear You! I've got 5 years of retirement. So far. And I want to see this beautiful country and yes you're right. Something seems to always show up. I know what you're making. You said you are your own destiny. Tell me you're not married so go for it We should the best. I keep me in touch and everybody else bye
JC I can bring some breading with me in February when come n c if we could meet up n I could give you some my wife makes n I think it’s better then any store bought breading
Anyone that fishes alot on their own, near JC know of the spots he is fishing. it's not like he is giving away spots most people in his area don't know already.
Respect Jc but plz stop being blowing up all the spots On youtube and then questioning why fishing Is 🗑️ lately , I’m sure the local guys will agree …
Fishing is hard I’m this area right now due to the cold weather and water but I see your point and his he’s trying to make money can’t fault someone when they are trying to make some extra cash
Plus he doesn't usually say where he is. I bet most people don't know the part of the state he is in. I only do because have been there a lot.

Just discovered your channel a couple days ago. I am enjoying your adventures, and its motivating me to get out there fishing. Thank you. Keep it up!
awesome
Love the videos JC, keep at em. Hopefully i can pick up my first sheepshead soon, Im in the tampa area. Hope to see you out there one day, big fan!
Yay I love the truck camping videos. Idk why but the whole process is so enjoyable to watch.
Truck camping coming soon! Thanks for watching.

Nice jc I used your tips to collect mud crabs yesterday and worked the whole day for a good sheepshead it was super windy yesterday
Mud crabs are the best I hook them through the under belly flap. Biggest sheep head I ever caught was in canal under bridge of Park Blvd. Love watching videos keep doing them
i have that very same setup i love the flex it make catching sheeps easy because the tip is very sensitive

Ahhh, memories of the sheep slayer combo. Great video JC. Really do appreciate your dedication to your videos bro. 👍🏻🤙🏻
Had a friend take me out night fishing the day after full moon. Ended up with 4 nice keeper Red Grouper, 31 lane snapper and 6 mangrove snapper.
If you like Cajun seasoning, you should try Slap Ya Mama. Thank you for all you do, JC!!
I always enjoy watching your videos brother!
Looking forward to more truck camping as well.
It would be cool to see some local foraging thrown in the catch and cooks. Lots of classes down there for that kind of thing.
Just an idea.
Cheers buddy and tight lines! 🤙🏻
Way to grind it out JC! Love the Gator shirt too!
Caught a big 20 inch sheep’s head on my lunch break the other day. Got some blue mussels on the pillings, no rod just 20lb mono & 3/o circle hook. Was a tasty one! 😁
Try the red lobster fish fry & put some coconut flakes in there I promise you it’s a hit!
Nice video man. Hey man I’d love a video with you out in the kayak off a beach just trolling and talking. You’d be surprised what you could catch.

JC u asked if we have caught any fish. I caught 3 pompano last month. Jupiter Florida. JC you should come fish the SE FL coast sometime soon..
That bridge has some big snapper on it in the summer time pulled a 20 inch snapper out of it last summer
I just love your idea plan…… a month is a nice long time….. do it for your self….
Traffic makes me nervous. I couldn't fish there. Good video though. Thanks

Is that the same rod and reel you lost in the Crappie fishing episode?
Yes, Crappie video was made after this one, but published before this one.

when is the best time of year to catch sheepshead in FL?
now through march in sw fl
Been a couple of times waiting for it to warm up so the fish start biting again I’m from Gulf Shores Alabama.

JC, they got a secret spot??? Don't think all the cars going by would would see them catching fish???
Uncle bucks cajun fish fry Louisiana are ones i use
Hey JC...I want to see you catching and cooking snook...the are ver y taste...I love your videos of catch and cook...
Saw another "fisherman" barely cutting the crabs, aka to obviously generate some natural 'scent'...give it a try 👍🏼
Delicious!
I caught some sheepshead today and some bonnet head. I have better luck with a circle hook and split shot
Let's go JC!!
try frying in grass fed butter. Its a much better flavor and better for you!
Need a new Hot cast? Walmart on Cattleman had some.
Come down to TX!
Great video, thought you might be eating McDs , way to hang in there. Btw you should cut all the way to the eyeball, you will get a extra couple more mouth fulls of fish for all your hard work.
What gopro case do you use?

in this video I think I had a 2500 size spinning reel with 10 pound test braid and 20 pound test leader.

Stone Crabs will have strips on their legs and are usually a different color, more of burnt orange, but if you have any doubt don't keep it.
What happens craka crab
I catch more Sheepshead with the real thing. Sometimes I'll use the Cranka...
It hurt to see you talking about that rod knowing its fate!!!
Instead of tarter try yum yum sauce delicious
Ha ha Might want to say "Fishing Video" instead of just asking kids if they want to be in a video. The World is too crazy not to be more specific.
