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.

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,

Hey John, Its never a bad cast if you hook up!

Nice cast when you skipped it under that mangrove with leaves on it and caught that snook!

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.

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?

The anxiety I have watching you not netting some of these bigger fish like the trout! Lol great video

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.

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?

Casting into 'nooks and crannies'. Is that english muffin island? : )

It would be nice if you stated the date you were fishing

never had a sheepshead before..i hear there delicious,,are they like our blackfish up north?

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?

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!

John, do the tackle shops down there sell mud crabs or do you gather them yourself?

I live in Naples love your love your videos What is the water temperature up there right now?

What month will you be rejoining us Yankees for the spring run?

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.

Are those green crabs 🦀 you using or mud crabs 🦀 look huge for mud crabs 🦀

Do you miss not having spot lock?

How is pedaling for you?

Where do you get your bait? crabs?

K9 briad u think is better then power pro slick.

Now these are not fiddler crabs u call them mud crabs.

John. How much you want for your boat…? You don’t use it. I’m in the market
