Brant you are the man. All that fishing in congested areas and not one break off so you could rerun your line through that missed eye. And also an 8 1/2 hour trip with the maintenance due light on. You are the man!!!

Epic video. Love how you change it up and put effort into traveling. Great variety

Great little video Brant makes for a really fun time when you catch multiple species like that👍

Totally my style of fishing since a young boy, have had many boats but there’s something about the banks that satisfy me

Wats up brant I'm the guy that seen u in the light house parking lot man love your videos

That was so exciting to watch very beautiful,thank you brant

Sanibel has come a long way since Hurricane Ian. A lot of resorts on the gulf side are still rebuilding. But a decent amount of businesses are back open now on the island.

The resilience of the community to get up and running again is a testament to the spirit that built America. Great film and great fishing Brant...!

I have to admit with the team Beareded Brad and beach bum Yours have been the best. My lovely bride and I love going to New places and fish. All over the state. So much fun. We go out on my 24ft boat or surf fishing . But when we lo a d

Looked like a lot fun glad the island has recovered. Great video, excellent content.

Hey, listen. Stop what you're doing for a second. Are you listening? OK, you might want to write this down for a later review. These out of the way spots you're fishing are.....AWESOME!!!! These are the places I would want to go to if I had the opportunity. Please continue this style of video! Alright, thanks for stopping by. You can go about your previous activities.

Love this video! I think the first of your videos I watched was one on Sanibel. I’ve been watching ever since. I grew up going to Sanibel for vacations in the 70’s. Many fond memories of catching whiting in the surf and going to Ding Darling to bird watch!

Fish on, caught a lot of different species.. But I know you enjoyed the peace and Quiet time.....

Outstanding, as always!

good fishing vid keepon comming...stay safe..

Very very nice trip and fishing 🎣 🎉

I like your Grunt style wear. I have a bunch myself.

After months of asking you, thank you for going back to Sanibel! I just realized Lawless Tide went down a few days ago aswell. Been meaning to take a trip down there for a month or two myself, but now spring break is worrying me traffic wise lol. Hope there's more than one video out of this trip!! Or you'll have to get the whole crew down there again.

Me and my family vacation to Cape Coral every year and Sanibel island is a must visit for us every year! I love the community and the fishing!!

Another great video. Love all the areas that you explore. Keep them coming. Love the variety of fish too man. Take it easy.

born and raised in fort myers and cape coral!!! used to go to sanibel island all the time with my dad. loved fishing there. miss that area. glad to see them bouncing back from that devastating hurricane. now i just live down the road from ya in PCB. great video and keep em coming.

This was just a cool video...way cool my dad and I went fishing down the coast and these are so ,uch better.. your right. Just fun. My father was a 20 year veteran. I did 30 years in the Navy so much fun he and I would go down the coast of Fla and fish in small places then cook and eat such great memories. Now I do it with my grandkids. So ,uch fun. Love it.

Have you enjoyed these exploring videos? It seems like you're having a good time. Going into some of these unknown areas seems like a great challenge.

freelance fishing is always fun..always enjoy ur fishing trips..Yeah Sanibel is a unuque place..been there...thanks for the video,,,

That was some fun fishing. Thank you.

Great video Brant. I enjoy your road trips so much. And this is opportune because I am coming from Texas and going to be in that area the end of April and the first of May. I am thinking that I want 3 rod and reels. One with a float, one with a Carolina rig but maybe I want to freeline it now and the third with a white salt strong soft plastic. You just encouraged me to fish in areas I would normally pass up. Thank you.

Beautiful area! There’s so much water!

Sweet video, Brant! Thanks

Love sanibel island. Caught my first huge red snapper there when I was 6….. dad had to land it for me on and old Zebco reel…….we vacation in englewood now but look forward to taking a trip down then again….

Hey Brant, next time you’re coming to Southwest Florida swing by Bradenton and pick me up. I’m a 71 year old Marine that LOVES to fish. Love your videos. We would have a good time.

Brant these are some of the best videos that you produce. These areas that you are exploring make me want to drive 24 hours just so that I can see what your are seeing. I have fished Sanabel Island before but it was years ago with only a fly rod. Got skunked but I know that there are fish there. Keep bringing the exploration videos!

Ford F-150, super comfortable for long drives and plenty of storage for gear

Love these trips, and love SOUTH FLORIDA. I traveled from my home in WA state to the lower keys every year for twenty years. Those days are behind me now, which makes me love your videos all the more. Thanks for the fishing trips!

Definitely my favorite kind of videos you make brother keep them coming this spring and summer!!!

That looks like alot of fun!

Awesome video thanks for bringing us along and sharing the content!

I really like your road trips. So much fun.

The adventure and spot hunt is on point, love it, jealous. Not gonna lie Brant, wanna bail Cali n moving down.

Welcome to Southwest Florida. I’m in nearby Port Charlotte. I hope you have a chance to fish in Boca Grande and the surrounding areas.

Was down there oct 2023. First time since the hurricane. Snook were stacked up around the bridge piers at blind thorn. Was a great day. Always a great day down there.

Cool video brother keep them coming peace out from Ohio Don T

Awesome trip

Now that's fun!

great video fishing my friend , i like video

Great video Brant!! Long trip but catching fish 🐟 makes it worth it brother.

Very cool! 😎

Love the video, i live down in Naples and i agree with you about catching a mangrove when ya come down to SFL your pretty much gonna catch at least one when you out

I miss Florida so bad.

Good thing you were wearing sneakers and not sandals. That crab was like the Bruce Lee of crabs. hahahahahahaha'

Are you in Ding Darling? I was thinking about heading over there next week. Like fishing there. Glad you posted this.

John pennycamp very good fishing

It would be nice to go fishing with you, Brant. I have been watching your fishing channel so long, it is like I am friends with you, and have never met you. Just finding a spot to fish, out of the blue, looks like it was a good idea for some videos.

Nice fish

I was on Sanibel during Ian on Anchor Drive

Multi-species greatness. C'Mere!!!!

What a ride! Man, you always go the distance for us viewers and I always enjoy the outcome, Hey, Man can you tell me if, in a certain place in Florida I think it`s in the Keys, they have said there is a Toxin in the water and the fish are acting crazy and finally dyeing did you hear anything about it, That was a nice fishing trip.

I wouldn't mind fishing with you. I live not far from Sanibel

Nice video Brant. Maybe you should drop a GO-Pro off the little wood bridge. It would be interesting to see what else is there.

Damn Doc Ford! Ding Dang Wildlife Preserve?

Anybody come up ...a visitor from up North...come outta of nowhere and tell you you not allowed to fish there? And this person have no idea what the laws are? Happens to me all the time there...Great vid

Just hope Baileys is up and running again!

Yea Boy

Blue crabs are yummy yummy but frustrating. It takes so many to get so much meat and cleaning them is tedious, and the big ones never hang out where you can crab. Always smaller ones.

love the shirt

8 and a half hours is nothing, tomorrow I head to southwest Florida and it will take about 25 hours, 1400 miles. I haven't been to Sanibel since before Ian, Ding Darling is one of my favorite places to fish but this year I'm going to Everglades City.

You're in the market for a new truck? I have a GMC. I've had it for 6 years. Absolutely fantastic truck.

Would have been nice to see the Red Grouper up close

Watch out for the crocodiles!!

nice vid

Subbed! Great content!

Brant enjoy your video but you need to show more closeup on the fish everybody hasn't seen these kinds of fish.

Why were the keepers not able to be kept on Sanibel?

I grew up out there in the 80-90s…You just took me back to some very happy times fishing with my father🙂

Did you get that oil change yet? 😂😂

Why did you not stop and fix the missing the eye situation 😂 I could never continue fishing like that😂

Toyota !!!!!

your do an oil change haha. im going down to south FL in april

I-75 is the worst until you get South of the Turnpike in Wildwood.

I thought you were able to keep redfish in Southwest Florida?

Wish I could catch a red fish been here 10 years and still haven't gotten yet

After dozens of videos, I see you always turn the bar on your spinner reels over by hand; is there a specific reason you do this? (I have always just cranked the reel and made it flip on its own). Love your vids, B.

Just curious what do you do back there to keep the bug bites off of you?

Bet you can’t catch fish in Bradenton Florida!! Lol

Get a Tacoma dude

How much do want for your truck

He says if he didn't see my ID, he wouldn't believe I was in my fifties.

And u still haven't called me. Ur always in my backyard. Lol

Why can’t you keep red fish there?

I take it that Needle fish are bad?

It's great to see a peaceful video from the US without hearing words like "immigrants, Democrats, Republicans,woke,gender" etc. Love your videos, keep fishing!

SO MANY ADDS! Really the tube is literally ruining y’all’s videos, slightly annoying to say the least!
