I’m not a beginner but I will always watch these videos just in case I find something else to put in my arsenal.

Me and my boys are beginners in the Sarasota area. Your videos have helped guide us as to what to use and how to use it. Thank you. Big fans.

I see this dude all the time,,he is a no bs guy,,awesome channel,,awesome info

Hitting Crystal River today!

I like that Zman hat

I'm from Michigan - doing my first bit of inshore fishing for the first time next month in Vero Beach and have been gaining a lot of knowledge from your channel - thanks for the tips!

Thank you C A. Sometimes in the fishing world people keep information close to the vest or are not very friendly at the tackle stores to the newbies. I think fishing is a sport that should be shared. People will respect you more for sharing and respect the fishing grounds more if they do it right. Not everyone had the chance to grow up fishing in the great state of Florida. C A you do a great job! Thanks again.

Growing up in the big bend of Florida the popping cork and any kinda live, cut or artificial bait was the go to when I was a kid to catch specks! I take my grandkids fishing and when we can’t get anything to hit we put on a popper and 9 out of 10 times we start catching specks!

Great info Captain, I enjoy your channel much!! 😎

I have had immense success with gulp alive on a Carolina rig when the bottom allows it. I catch a lot of flounder and reds on that setup.

Thanks for the helpful advice! Regards from Guatemala 🇬🇹.

Excellent information.I was surprised at # 2. I will give it a try Thanks

The gotcha lure and goofy pompano jigs are great beginner lures.

Love your videos, what is your go to lure to cover ground fast in any weather for redfish / trout. Like kvd used to cover so much ground with the crankbaits. Lol

Thank you for this informative video. I'm heading to the Destin area the end of March. I'm a noobie coming from Northern Wisconsin for a 10 day fishing trip. I put all these suggestions on my list of tackle to buy. One suggestion is that you create this list on your sponsor tackle shop with a link.

What net is that you always have on your boat? I’m looking for a new net for my boat and I really like the way yours folds up.

What about scents? Are they worth it? Really stinky and sticky on my fingers.

Yessir like a previous video from Cap, K.I.S.S.....Keep It Simple Stupid. 🤘💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲

Love the spoon when my hands get tired of throwing lures. No brain power required and it's absolutely deadly on inshore fish.....

I’m going to be honest I love catfishing… but I ventured out 2xs on fake lures….. 1st time I caught a baby northern pike off a white spinner in summer in Wisconsin…. I got it to the back of the boat from the dock it popped up and flung it out it’s mouth… I quit that day…. Years later like 20-30yrs I try again sisters kid loves bass fishing lures… I got a frog and it got eaten by and alligator I caught on accident he came out of nowhere…. Broke the line… I quit again I’m just not good at this stuff 😩
