Thanks! I took some time putting this one together

^^^^ AMEN to all the above. Great Job Jesse!

I was about to say the same thing. By far the most informative video on fishing the cbbt

Lol thanks!

Very true, hopefully they all practice this as soon as they get their kayak

What are the chances of your kayak flipping in calm waters?

@@Outdoor_Don Depends on the current, wind, and tide. Waves catching you off guard and a quick loss of balance can happen at any time in any waters.

Including you, rook....lol

haha yeaah

I hope a lot of people watch it lol

Thanks!

Good Luck!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching and for the nice comment

Do it man, but please be careful. That bay there is no joke

THanks and yes that area can get pretty scary

Thanks! And no worries I know those guys well. They definitely put it on the map. Most of their fishing was done during slack tide, which definitely helps with having more time to fish instead of having to paddle constantly.

No problem, and thanks for watching!

Glad you like them!

Thanks and hope it helps!

Southern Reels Fishing it will. I’ve been kayak fishing long time, but new to the area. The good conditions for the CBBT just haven’t seemed to line up with my schedule yet.

Thanks and good luck on your eventual trip out there!

That is a very important thing to practice for sure. Hopefully most people practice it as soon as they start taking their kayak out! Congrats on the dollar! You can buy 1 Gulp Shrimp lol!

Thanks

Glad it helped and be very careful out there.

Maybe one day lol

Anytime

i've heard jon boats aren't great out there though. I could be wrong. Especially the regular flat bottom ones.

Thanks

Thanks for the sub!

A few times yes lol. Still learning though

Those who are weary are often better prepared for most incidents. It's better to be scared and runaway because you can come back another day.

Your welcome and good luck out there!

Yeah at 15 mph its usually pretty rough out there, not fun at all

Thank you! And I don't worry about the downvotes, it is natural for some people to hate on others. There problem, not mine.

I launch at chics beach right by the foot of the Cbbt. Bouy 44

Yes of course, but resetting the drifts is gonna entail a lot of paddling against current. The currents will move you along at 3 mph at times

I always use the pay area, that free area can dry up at low tide

Kiptopeke to the high rise is about 5 miles. The out going tide runs surprising fast at times. I could not imagine fighting it back for a 5 mile trip. The Wise point ramp is a 10 minute drive from Kiptopeke. It is clearly the best option if you plan to fish the bridge.

@@dann5268 okay. I need to look up the tide chart to see when tides are coming or going. Thanks for the heads up. Any other info? Again, not a local and will be learning while I'm there.

@@Hunter-bf9zt You should enjoy it. I just spent that past weekend there Yak fishing for the first time. Except for small croaker and crabs, the bite was slow but I still had a blast. If you are into bird watching, the concrete ships are a wonderland. If you have time consider fishing the area around the Wise point launch. I haven't fished it, but it looks fishy.

Yeah it even feels sketchy in my Bay Boat, its a dangerous area for sure

@@SouthernReelsFishing I'm glad you commented on the dangers of the area. It definitely helps validate my instinct haha. Safety first out there! Hope to meet you one day

Not sure...

I was able to get out there on a couple calmer days already this year looking for tog. Went solo and just gauged the situation as I travelled to the first island in case conditions picked up. Always wanna drive over the Lesner and get a bit of a gauge for the conditions before you commit to going out.

Don't forget the 120 rule too. Add air temp and water temp and wear some sort of wet or dry suit if less than 120 total. I went out on those few random 70 degree days we had.

It is good there for tog and Drum now, just got to find those rare days that the wind is right. There are not many of those days

1st boat channel is where I usually start

I always wondered that. To me Sheepshead sounds plural, and Sheephead sounds singular. I guess thats why I say it like that lol. Thanks for the clarification

Maybe one day

cool

A fair opinion. And to be honest I don't do it for the money. I do it because I like teaching and sharing knowledge. I also love fishing and have a great respect for the sport. I love seeing people go out and catch fish and witnessing the joy it brings them. I also teach that respecting the rules is important and to only keep enough of your legal catch for your immediate needs. I believe firmly in this. That is why I release almost every fish I catch and encourage others to do so as well. Now, blaming KZfaq for the decline in fish numbers is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while. To an observant person it would be apparent that the leading cause would be the overfishing of the waters by the commercial industry. Second would most likely be the local guides and charters that go out everyday with paying customers bringing in full boat limits sometimes twice a day. Third would be the recreational anglers that pay no attention to the rules or bring in way more than they need just for a sweet picture. Fourth would most likely be pollution from mankind making the waters unfit for fish to live in. I could keep going here... I respect your opinion, and you as well. I hope you learned something from watching
