Thanks for watching and commenting. There's so much live on the grass flats at night. There were loads of fish and several birds and of course plenty off hermit crabs. Keep doing what you love.

That's good news for sure. I have a couple of friends and family members who have been able to continue working too. I also have some family members who lost all of their work. I think the fear of not getting government help has been higher than that of getting the virus for many people.

Thanks for being a dedicated sub. You are greatly appreciated. Fishing really has been a great escape from the current situation. The only difficulty I've had is not being able to launch the kayak in certain areas due to beaches or boat ramps being closed. Thanks again for hanging around for the past three years.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've found the kayak to be a safe place for sure. I'm going to hit the water in the morning in the 106 Sportsman Powered By Minn Kota.

It's becomming fairly opened up in Clearwater now. The beaches open tomorrow with social distancing. It sure has been nice not having tourist traffic though lol. We thrive on tourism so we take the good with the bad.

Just be forewarned that grocery stores are mostly stocked minus meat and such. Restaurants are open to only 25 percent seating capacity, but the beaches and boat ramps are open as long as you socially distance. Enjoy and be safe!

Wow, sounds like your plans were totally blown away. What are the airlines doing to reimburse your lose?

@@RadReelingFishing Had a refund on three hotels, I'll get a refund from British Airways in mid June, totally gutted I won't get to Florida this year, even got my cranka crab lures for the sheepies !, hard to tell when this nightmare will end, I'll probably come over next fall. Tight lines JC.

@@johntrout1957 I am always looking for people to fish with, I have a big boat, I live in Clearwater and I have the coordinates to some awesome fishing spots. Pitch in for fuel and we're good to go any day as I am retired :)

The waiting period for these stimulus approval is tough. I applied for the EIDL directly to the SBA in the first round and only received an email verifying they had received my application. The day the second round of funding went active to be released, I received a direct deposit for $1000, I'm the only employee. They actually labeled it as an advance. I was actually denied the PPP when I applied for my corporation through Paypl because they ran a personal credit check on me. I don't have bad credit, but just insufficient credit.I was really upset because having credit is not one of the criteria for receiving the PPP stimulus. So thank goodness I applied for the PPP then through Kabbage.com and got approved within three days. I hope something comes through for you soon. I hope you get that Auto Pilot soon. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Not much to eat, but it can only get better here in the next few weeks. I need to go to the river with some chicken necks I think!

@@RadReelingFishing that would make a great video brother.

Thanks for watching. I love that statement "stay safe". In these times that really resonates with people for sure. The other night when I caught that big Snook there were a couple of guys who came over to me, but they were mindful of keeping their distance.

Thanks for watching and sharing how things are going with you. I really enjoyed watching the Key West Kayak videos of the empty beaches and spots he was able to fish during the shut down. I've been enjoying very little traffic on the bridges when I've been out night fishing. It's a huge change from before.

@@RadReelingFishing yeah I'm also a sub with Steve @ Key West Kayak Fishing channel...yeah he did a recent bike run showing the beaches...wow they look so much cleaner than before can't wait to go back there.

Yeah, it's a blast to get out there and walk the flats at night. There is so much life in the water to enjoy looking at. Thanks for watching and commenting.

It sounds like you are over due for a lunker! What type of fish do you catch?

@@RadReelingFishing red, trout, sheepshead and i have a spot for flounder lol if ur ever in deep south TX let me know brother man.

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully there will be a medical breakthrough soon and we can get vaccinated.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've never fished in KY. If I'm fishing for largemouth bass in FL. my favorite lure is always a plastic worm.

@@RadReelingFishing I've been using crank baits, and I'm getting absolutely nothing. starting to realize I have no idea on what lures to use for certain fish lol. do you have any suggestions on what type of worm to use ?

@@close396 I like the stick worms, the original was the Senko brand. I fish them sinkerless if the water is eight feet deep or less. If deeper I use a Texas rig with a 1/8 ounce to 3/16 bullet weight. This is the brand, type and worm color I like: amzn.to/3c4p9U4 (paid link)

@@RadReelingFishing awesome thank you !!!

Thanks for asking. I don't know much about the seasons. There are multiple articles on this topic online. You will get your best info there for sure.

Walmart may have the. Here's an Amazon link amzn.to/2ElwHmF (paid link)

I never really catch many when I go out. It's just a matter of getting on the grass flats from any public access and putting in the time. I'm guessing you've had some decent luck with catching shrimp if you've been out recently. They should be plentiful right now.

@@RadReelingFishing gotcha. Yea, the shrimp have been out in large numbers in the flats and under bridges.

Thanks for the tip. I have to get out there and get some more soon. Those two just weren't enough to wet my appetite.

No, Stone Crabs cannot be used for bait. You have to research the FWC website. I recently saw on another channel where someone said Hermet Crabs cannot be used for bait, but I haven't researched to see if that's true or not...

Ha ha...I'm going to have to look into that. I'll eat um, either way, YUMMY!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into getting some different versions. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for commenting. I wondered what that strange flavor was in it. When I first tried it I seasoned the chicken I was cooking too much and didn't really like it. Then the next few times I lightened up on the amount and really liked the flavor. I'll have to try the cactus dust. Thanks for watching.

Ha ha...my middle name's Bubba.

Yeah, kayak fishing works great for social distancing for sure. Glad to hear you have been able to work. Are you in Florida?

@@RadReelingFishing nope unfortunately I'm all the way in Oklahoma. Stationed here in the Air Force. I'm from close to Jacksonville, and my family still lives there so we go there for about a month every year. We haven't yet this year though because of the stuff going on.

@@timothydavey7569 Alright, thanks for your service!!!! I hope you get home to the family soon. Have you caught some decent Walleye? I hear they are delicious.

@@RadReelingFishing I've only caught a few small ones. One keeper. It's in my freezer right now, but I'm trying to figure out how to catch more. It's definitely a learning curve

Thanks for asking. I've been told that June is a good month in SW Fl. If you search for "Florida shrimp seasons" you'll find some articles Here's a pretty good one: leenoga.com/catch-shrimp/

Not sure. I had some issues with the camera footage.

Thanks for watching. No.

Were you able to get the encounter with the warden on video?

@@RadReelingFishing It was too dark, didn't want to shine my bright camera lights at him. Would have been good click bait though, lol. He was totally cool as they usually are.

I dont' know. I always wade grass flats for them.

@@RadReelingFishing okay thanks for the tip!

Right on, or even Tarpon. I'm hearing we are getting some big Tarpon around some of our bridges right now.

Ha ha...Thanks for the humor, too funny.

Old news, I haven't worn a mask in two years now. Thanks for watching and commenting.
