Well said. I was taught basics by my grandfather on how to fish. When I asked when's the best time to catch fish? He answered: when you have a body of water, a pole (back then we used cane poles) and Bait. Through the years I've found that to be true in all my fishing experience. Its not about how much or how expensive the gear is. The fish don't know the difference. Thanks for sharing and I agree with your entire video.
Thank you...I’ve been racking my brain over and over and over...hard to calm down, and realize that I don’t need the blue yonder and “x” professional fisherman’s favorite signature lure. Really brought me back.
Well said, sponsors may not be pleased but it's the truth.
My great Grandpa bought me my first fishing pole when I was four, so I've been fishing for about 30 years now, and funny thing is it's absolutely true, you just come full circle. Once you've got the basics down that's all you need. Now I find what's even more important than the gear, is paying attention to the conditions where you're fishing like wind, tides, moon phases, etc. If you know that and have a solid foundation on fundamentals you're golden.
So true I used to race Hobie sailboats in the late 70s we used to spend a fortune on crap. There was this guy had a beat up boat and beat up on us, he was a harbor pilot he knew.
I've been fishing for over 50 years and until just recently realized that you are 100% right! The simpler and easier the better. It also makes for an enjoyable stress less trip.
Jack you might be my fave . Love bama , love brant , but I really appreciate your style, and all the ways you like to encourage and help guys out, even beyond fishing. And thanks for your service!😊👍🏼
Thanks for watching Terrell!
An entire industry has been built on the gullibility of fishermen.
I started catching more fish when I just kept it simple. So true.. stick to the basics... keep it simple 👍
Excellent! The simple truth of fishing. Good stuff Jack! Thanks & keep 'em coming.
Great subject! I've fished freshwaterall my life and got into the "gotta have the latest and greatest". Fished bass tournaments for several years. It actually was getting to where it wasn't fun anymore. I slowed down, stopped fishing tournaments, got back to the basics, and am loving it all over again! Nothing like finding a bream bed and watching one eat a cricket and pull a bobber down, or feeling a crappie tap on a jig! :)
Another good one Captain. Taught myself to bowhunt and fish. We can make it as complicated or as simple as we want. The marketing departments certainly are good at what they do. I'm somewhat proof of that at times. Whatever floats our boats. When I was bowhunting I had a compound bow with all sorts of this and that on it. I was drawing down on a deer and a simple peep sight tube broke on me and I missed the shot. I thought about exactly what you are saying here and I sold the bow and went to a traditional recurve bow and started enjoying the experience again.
Hey Jack. Very informative video , thanks for taking time to record this , bring us another one tomorrow. Thanks again. Craig. Pa guy
Dude you're right on the money. I was contemplating on giving up. I go out buy this and that just to fail and fail miserably. Only to see everyone else catch and release. Thank you for being down to earth.
This is so true! I tend to catch more fish when I keep it simple. Especially fishing off the paddleboard, one small tackle box with topwater, soft plastics, and assorted hooks. If i bring too much it just gets in the way!
Im still crawling and ive been fishing for years. Never got into the expensive side of fishing, i just enjoy being out there doing it! Another great video
You my friend are bad ass! Nor cal fisherman here thanking you for keeping it real!
Always a pleasure watching y'all's videos. Thanks for bringing it back to reality 🤙. It's funny what you said about charters Dad's been chartering 40 years in Rockport. Like clockwork goes out gets a limit 200 days a year.
Timely advice. Over the last few years, I have perfected my ability to not catch several inshore species. I don’t catch them as good as everyone around me isn’t catching them. Since I learned all I can about spending money to not catch them. It might be time to learn a little about catching. Thanks for the lesson.
Amen!!!!! We about 5 miles offshore from carrabelle yesterday. Fished a wreck. Caught grunts and black bass. All that was biting but in just fried up a big batch of grunts. Dang good eatin!!!!!! Fish what's biting!!!!!
Love the "we got into a fight I won"analysis
Your right we as humans always over complicated everything..... stay simple my friends
Excellent advice. All the high priced gear does not make you a better fisherman
Old Shvlrdr you don't need $200 dunglasses and a wardrobe to look cool
I come from a Martial arts family as well of nation and world champions from my step dad down. You are correct on doing a technique 1,000 times. Oddly enough, he was a amazing fisherman who him and my mom had a 2nd house in little torch key ( on the south side of big pine / 26 miles from key West). So most of my fishing occurred learning in the keys. You are correct that you don't need fancy gear either. It is more understanding their environment and study their natural behaviors and prime feeding times. After that it all comes natural.
Excellent topic!!! Thank you for this. Keep
It Simple.
So true! For freshwater I fish with 3 different lures . For surf fishing I use a gold or silver spoon and a spoon at sunrise and sunset and have caught lots of fish. Don't need tons of lures in tons of colors
Excellent video! It all boils down to common sense. You could do one video just on the lack of common sense among red snapper fisherman. They congregate at anchor in large numbers around the same GPS number on a live bottom area that's many acres wide instead of drifting and finding more productive spots in the vicinity. The worst fisherman I ever fished with was a PhD with an I.Q. that was so high he couldn't catch fish. He routinely yanked circle hooks out of snapper mouths, was too cheap to buy from the bait boat and never had backup frozen bait. He lost more anchors than all other fishermen that I've ever known put together. He never grasped the concept of MBT - maximum bottom time and a fishing trip on his boat was an exercise in maximum frustration because you did little actual fishing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Jack. Good advice.
Bucket (bag) of shrimp, hook line and a rod, all ya need. Be on the water catching fish for $25. That's why it's one of the greatest sports in the world. Thanks for the video
Good stuff, keep it simple it always the right answer in all things.
Dumbed it down on day 2 of our bay trip this weekend and slayed trout for over 2 hours. Keeping it reel 🤙
Great advice and another good video. Keep up the good work!
So.....enjoyable! Laid back and true! I'm a southern boy too.
Awesome advise for every fisherman, beginner or Pro
I’ve accumulated thousands of dollars worth of fishing tackle in the last 30 years and when I go out I use the same 6or 7 lures that are my go to lures pretty much every time....
new to the channel and i gotta say, i love your attitude and energy....my dad always told me "keep it simple stupid" and i tell my son "keep it stupid simple" this video reafirms that montra entirely. thanks for all the great info and hard work, liked subd, and shared!! 👍❤
Thanks Rusty!
You really hit it. Go out and spend $30 F'n dollars on one FREEKIN lure just to snag it on something, spend half of one day off of work trying to get it back (if it were a dollar lure I'd still try and get it back but wouldn't pull my hair out for it) and not catch a single fish because of it?!?!?! Not for me Senior! I'm way old school, have a lot of fun and catch my share without financing my tackle. Great video brother!
it is true , Iv'e caught many fish like bass,walleyes,snook,jack,tarpon,pompano,blues, with 2 differents rod and reel and they both come from WALLMART ?!&?! no need fancy gear, just good quality LINE and circle hooks that it ! great video bro keep up the good work .
Number 6: Too much drinking, not enough fishing 😂
I agree with everything you say I had to teach myself as well
One of.youre best video and advice
Thanks
Keep going!!!
haahh get a cold one and eat some fried chicken! Great video bud. This is 100% truth!
Corecto-Mondo Jack!!!! Great vid!! Thanks for sharing with us!!! W
Yup!
I finally got fair at catchin shark but, I want to learn more!
Thank you :)
Awesome. Thanks for advice. Well it is happening next week, hopefully, my search is over. Found a 2017 Old Town Predator MK used on FB marketplace. So, with some luck will be coming home soon. Can hardly wait...
Good choice! Why? Because I have one!
Youre so right about the life cycle of the fisherman. Im just getting back to the "keep it simple stupid" mindset. Lol.
Couldn’t have said it any better. Great video 👍as always
talk about keeping it simple..... I was at the packery channel in corpus Christi this weekend, and I caught a black tip on a 1/2oz spoon... I was shocked lol
Loved the video.you got the right ideas.smart man.thanks Mike f
Thanks for the information. I am in the process of retiring from the Navy and I want to focus on spending my weekends on the water catching some fish! But you are spot on, what do I need? What works? How much? Lots of questions! Thanks for informing this ole salty dog!
Ricardo Galvan: Congrats on your upcoming retirement.

Spoons spinners tiny crankbaits and the holy grail the flyrod with a 2ld tippett and number 24 micro midge are all popular here in the mountains of north ga for catching trout but a zebco 33 with 12 pound test stren two bb shot and a number 6 eagle claw hook loaded with 3 kernals of green giant nibbletts corn or a garden worm still outfishes them all.
So true, some of the biggest fish I catch are on a hook and live bait
great advice Jack
Good advice! Got to keep it basic thats supposed to be what kayak fishing is all about
I can totally relate to learn how to fish because nobody taught me how to fish.
But I learned how to fish. 😁
When I was young I couldn’t go fishing until I could cast the rubber weight into a tire 10 out of 10 times @ 30 yards away
Yeah man, lots of times getting back to the basics is all you need. K.I.S.S. Thanks for the tips.
I got to say it depends on what kind of fishing you’re doing and the kind of fish you’re targeting,for example how would you handle a big fish if you’re using cheap gear? Definitely isn’t the same fishing in a lake than in the ocean,once you step into the deep water you gotta spend your money in good gear
I was lucky..i had an aunt uncle and cousins that would take me and my sisters fishing..we go at night spend the night at the beach and fish all night..we caught sharks bull reds. I started when i was around 8 i was in third grade....
Dude you are the freaking man
I’m 18 now and realized I just need a knocker rig and a spoon to catch almost every fish in the gulf
Keep it simple ! sound wisdom! keep'em tite!
Couldn’t of said it better my self
Got it right Jack simple is good ! Fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks but the one that practices 1, 10,000 times ! Also be afraid of the man with 1 gun he probably knows how to use it ! Lol 😂 keep fishing 🎣
Well that's pretty spot on. Fishin is best when the fish are there and hungry, no doubt about it...
We have an inlet, you go there and toss out fresh bait, you are guaranteed to catch red and black drum. Remote, low fishing pressure. Seen it out there so clear you could literally pick your fish and lob a shrimp in front of him and watch him pick it up. We quit long after our arms got sore of reeling. No bull reds, but every one a slot size keeper. Blacktips moved in after I foul hooked a black drum and he bled. We were surf fishing. Those sharks were like fighter jets, they'd hit a fish, stun it, and turn to eat it. They would surf a wave over the little bar into the slough. Craziest fishing day I ever had...
Thank you Yak.
As my wife says, best of the best, of the best, sir. lol.I just keep it simple. One step above bank fishing.
LOL! You are so right!
Sucks when people get into fishing they get judged buy the gear they use😬
Guess what if the people around you are judging you because you dont have a $500 rod and reel then u dont need to be around them this guy Yak will tell you the same thing all his equipment pretty much come from childhood and garage sells does not matter what u have
i am total minimalist..one lure tied on ,spare in my pocket..that's it ..can't stand a lot of equipment
Thank you so much for some great info !
I take only what I think will work. Kayaks paddle better with less weight in them.
You forgot to tell them about the flying lures and banjo minnows. They'll catch anything. Lol
I want to do more surf fishing. But I would like to see more videos on how to handle stingray Incase I catch one I’ll feel more comfortable
But it's just so much fun buying all that gear, no?
Bet the bait stores love you right now lol
I learned at 27yrs old.. saved me from thuglife...lol... now my 3yr old wont stop telling "daddy let's go fii"""...Fii is the word..lol
Fished for my first time at 27
I'm 30 now
I keep on editing my txt..
I'm a bass Fisher man by the way
O my you on the point and you drive a Tacoma
Yep
Thanks advice!
I hate snapper season being over! Do you go to the Massachusetts to catch cigar Minos?
You can fish bluegill by just throwing a hook in the water. They are dumb enough to bite anything.
Great video. And fishermen aren't the only ones....golfers are just as bad or worse.
So true
K.I.S.S.
I took me forever to get a redfish lol
No clue if you will see this since this is a very old video but I live in Milton have really only been pole fishing for a very limited time... I want to learn where to go to hook up on some slot reds and trout... What are some good forums or resources to understand these fish in this area and figure out where they are at what time of year... Any suggestions?
Thank u
You should take me with you.
We got into a fight and I won hhhh Love it
Also there bud not everyone is allowed to use live bait...... im from Canada and we’re held to a lot more restrictions than you American guys and on quite a few lakes around here you can’t use bait most of the year anyways
Hey jack. Is there a way I can get ahold of you.
Cut bait and a hook. Hold on.
Dude, I’m from P-cola originally, all you need is a bait net. Regardless of what anyone tells you, the fish eat what bait is available in that location. It’s not rocket surgery. If you catch bull minnows, they’re eating that. If you catch finger mullet, they’re eating those. Drop the bait on a Carolina rig, and it’s game on.
Acronym KISS. Keep it simple, stupid
You got to be miserable, either the mosquitoes have to be eating You up or it has to be raining or else hot as hell
can i get an amen?? $$$gear not needed.....there are those who brag about their signature fishing gear/equipment and lures, but in my head im thinking "but still no fish".....gotta do the fish-science (study fish habits and their environment) first.....science mastered, ive been very successful catching a variety/quantity of pacific reef fish with my one-and-only old school lure and non-$$$signature 6ft rod/reel setup..
Is your buddy Brant dead?
Give me a hook, weight , bait fish and or fish bites anytime.
BTW Walmart has great fried Chicken.
