Northeast fisherman here heading to captiva in April. After watching these videos I am going to rent a kayak and fish all week. These are great tips!
My, gosh, what an awesome trip, those trout and sheepshead were huge
Very nice kayak, just got one pelican per catch 100, trolling motor. Yours very nice
Love these kayak sheeps vids
I’m sorry I had to laugh 😂. While sheepshead fishing. I think it was before your third sheepshead. “I can’t believe I don’t have one yet”. Haha, after 5 seconds. You know the fishing is good then.
Thank you John
Taking the family from MN to Cape Coral tomorrow. Excited to try fishing down there next week. Planning on fishing in the canals where we are staying and trying a few shore spots around the area. Hopefully the wind won’t be too much.
The wind isn't an issue in the canals. Enjoy!
Hey John, Its never a bad cast if you hook up!
Mr.Skinner thank you for demonstrating your techniques and strategies. Appreciate the continuing education and showing techniques from docks. Many have been fishing for years from piers, sod banks, docks, beaches because we cannot afford a boat.
One question back north on Barnegat Bay…in Southern BB bait is primarily Crangon for White bass, in northern BB it is Glycera. Wondering if it relates to habitat? Southern BB along the Mullica marshlands all along shoreline, northern parts of BB it’s all bulkhead. Love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you.
Trout. Great breeding stock, they have plenty of food, a great rebound after the red tide,
Nice cast when you skipped it under that mangrove with leaves on it and caught that snook!
That was a lucky cast. Wasn't trying to skip. Screwed up and it went in and caught.
Oh and the reason to make sure its calibrated , you do not want to be 4 or 5 miles from the dock , see your meter drop a bar to 80 percent , and you say to yourself , oh ok , i'm good for the rest of the day. Then all of a sudden 15 minutes later , it shows the last bar lit up , and you are like WTH? lol , then ya got to pedal 5 or 6 miles back in.
The anxiety I have watching you not netting some of these bigger fish like the trout! Lol great video
He catches so many fish, big deal if he drops a few! Skinner is the GOAT.
It would be nice if you stated the date you were fishing
Have you ever tried the gulp peeler crabs for the sheep’s , if I ever came down there I wouldn’t know how or where to get live ones ? Thanks.
No to Gulp. More places are carrying fiddlers now and they work just as well.
Casting into 'nooks and crannies'. Is that english muffin island? : )
John, do the tackle shops down there sell mud crabs or do you gather them yourself?
No one sells them that I know of. I get them under oysters.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing How do you tell the difference between mud crabs and young stone crabs? I have been using only fiddlers lately since I am afraid of accidently keeping a stone crab. Also I could use your hookup ratio on the sheepshead lol. Great video!
If you can buy fiddlers, then go with those. Mud crabs are a lot of work and fiddlers work just as well. Stone crabs have banded legs at all stages of their life-cycle. They also have black-tipped claws. When I harvest or fish with them I actually carry FWC and Florida University documentation that shows the difference in case I'm checked.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks!
Thanks for the info!
I can't believe you have the Sheepshead trained to swim out from under the dock for you. Whenever I catch them they take me under it and cut me off on the piling. Great video as always.
What happened to the underwater drone?
We have a deal. They run out, and I don't keep my limit. Water not so clear for the drone.
I may be able to explain why your setup says 100 percent always. You would think that Old Town would have calibrated the usage meter correctly , however , maybe not , as a way of over inflating the efficiency of this unit to sell more of them. So those meters , when you hook up a lithium battery to a meter that's not calibrated , even though you have used say 80 percent of the batteries charge , it will still show at 100 percent. Until you get around 7 percent left , then it will very quickly die to 0 from 100. If you use a lead acid battery , the voltage lowers slowly throughout the day , so they are usually calibrated for SLA batteries , lithium batteries give max voltage throughout almost the entire charge. The only way to get an accurate reading , is to have it calibrated. This requires discharging the battery about 20 percent left , and then setting your range for lithium ion use. You have to use a set amperage draw and educationally guess when there is only 20 percent left of your amperage , which requires some math etc , with the meter connected , you have to set that to your zero point , IE no charge , even though you still have 20 , percent. This insures that you reliably know where the charge is at. So what its going to do , is it sets the voltage range in a much smaller window , so your meter reads say 14.1 volts on full charge , then at 14.05 , the gauge will say its at say 97 percent , then at 14 volts , 95 , then at 13.95 85 , etc , when ya battery reaches around 11.9 volts or so , maybe a little lower , it should b e at 20 percent left but the meter should say 0 percent . Once it hits 10.5 or 6 ish , it should be completely discharged. Setting the meter at 20 percent and the gauge to read zero at that , give you a sort of small window of time.
I get what you're saying, but the modern LiFePo4 batteries have BMS's that communicate with external programs to monitor the battery level. I use a RoyPow 24V in my boat, and a RoyPow 12V in my Old Town Sportsman. There's an App that goes with the batteries that uses bluetooth to monitor the state of the battery and the charge. I don't even need to be close to the battery and I can fire up the App and see from 0-100% what the remaining charge is. I have an older LifePo4 battery that doesn't have that. I'm sure that Old Town's 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 meter works like my RoyPow App since the LiFePo4 battery included with the kayak is made to work with the pedal drive.
Let's hope so. It would be interesting for you to continue to run it till the first bar drops off., then to see how much run time ya have between 75 to 50. See if it's fairly the same as 100 to 75.
Just curious, I count 5 rods. Normally when I fish for Rockfish I have two for trolling from spot to spot, one for topwater spooks and the last for a paddletail on a jig head. You aren’t trolling from spot to spot. Why five rods? Thanks, enjoy watching you catch. It’s a nice new yak!
Everything except the plug rod is tied direct to the lure with a loop knot. I don't want to cut and retie for lure changes. (1) 1/4-ounce jig head and shad tail, (1) swimbait 1/8-ounce hook and paddle tail, (1) 1/16 swimbait hook for gulp jerk shad, (1) vudu shrimp rod, (1) topwater. Then I had to retie for a sheep rod. In the boat I would have brought 6 rods.
never had a sheepshead before..i hear there delicious,,are they like our blackfish up north?
Like blackfish.
You don't eat the fish
I fish the big Manatee River and up in the flats around Terra Ceia Bay with a Seadoo FishPro but find that I’m shut out of fishing most areas because it gets so shallow and the sea grass is thick in the shallows. The timing has to be just right or I can get into trouble. This unit looks like the answer. Tides are strong; does this have an option for gps lock?
No spot lock, but I've been mostly kayak fishing this winter because of low water. This is a great craft because it opens up so many areas that are farther away.
Nice catch skin! Sorry I’ve always called you that between friends when i recommend your videos 😂 . Great vids brother I moved to Tampa from RI 3 years ago loving the fishing out here! Are you fishing in Tampa or down south more?
A couple hours south.
What month will you be rejoining us Yankees for the spring run?
End of April.
@JohnSkinnerFishing that's prime time in my neck of the woods I'll be out weeks before to hit the beginning stages
I live in Naples love your love your videos
What is the water temperature up there right now?
65. Here's a great site for water temps. You can even get plots. recon.sccf.org/sites
How is pedaling for you?
Very comfortable kayak.
Are those green crabs 🦀 you using or mud crabs 🦀 look huge for mud crabs 🦀
Mud. Are there green crabs in Florida? I thought only up North.
Do you miss not having spot lock?
Absolutely. I get why it doesn't have it (drive is fixed with rudder steering), but absolutely I miss it. The interesting part is I've now done three kayak sheep trips with it, and love being anchored quietly and angled how I want.
K9 briad u think is better then power pro slick.
I prefer X9, but PP SS is good too.
Where do you get your bait? crabs?
Under oyster clumps.
Now these are not fiddler crabs u call them mud crabs.
Right. Mud crabs, which are different than fiddlers. Fiddlers work just about as well if you can buy them.
John. How much you want for your boat…? You don’t use it. I’m in the market
Not selling. Just good yak conditions lately.
Yes over here on the other side of pine isl. I have a native slayer 12.5. Peddle. I’m just breaking balls.
