Open water fishing PARADISE: Galveston Fishing (S6 E72)

Open water inshore fishing has been an Achilles heel for me. Today I'm going to start learning how to do it. The tides are perfect and we're heading to a well known reef in West Bay Galveston Texas for some Speckled Trout! I hope y'all enjoy todays video.

Mr. MDLR I am slightly embarrassed to say that I had a literal dream about watching an MDLR video😂 but I also thought it would be silly to say and type out that it happened to me so here I am. hahaha. Well when I woke up I realized I had not actually watched one in a couple months! Sorry. lol. K not sorry. But I am glad that I remembered again!

them durned sandies lol. So aggressive. So many! I have been wanting to take some crappie gear and lures and like, get 10, 10” sandies and have a taco feast! haha. they tear up your lures and don’t stay on the hooks! Well that could be my own lack of skill in hooking em

Thank you. You leave my dream and give me hope that one day I can be able to do this type of fishing myself. As a disabled veteran it is hard for me to put kayak on the water right now. So, I usually fish of a pier in Galveston.

Mark, I live on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, this area is known for its blue crabs. If you take the hard shell and hold each segment between the legs and the claws, you can snap it open and it produces lumps of crabmeat, i.e., lump crabmeat. You can also clean the crabs and roll the hard-shell bodies in cornmeal and fry them in peanut oil, and they are very delicious. You can also freeze the fried hard shells and when you reheat them, the cornmeal will hold just the right amount of peanut oil to make them taste like they were freshly cooked. We usually cook a bushel at time, half steamed and half fried. Anyway, I enjoyed the fishing, the sizzle was very notable, but the aroma was off the chart. lol, take care and be safe!

@chrismcleod2411 Жыл бұрын

This right here! I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay. I now call South Carolina home and spend my time fishing the coast of Carolina. Steamed Crabs are the best!

Very hard to fish that jetty with a kayak. Too many jetty anglers from the beginning to end of it. Some will intentionally try to hit you with a heavy spoon.

yes and there are several if not many videos in Mr. MDLR’s archive that one can go back through and view where he does exactly that! From a few years ago before he got too tired of fightin’ the crowds, which is totally understandable. But yes he has made that video before but maybe you knew it already also. If so, my bad lol.

And on the RX angler thing, Nick has a full time job as a pharmacist, hence the RX, so it’s hard to line up schedules. On top of that Nick likes to do Kayak content exclusively and since we’ve been branching out a bit it gets even harder to line up a trip due to conflicting schedules. Thanks again.

@RGCfishingg Жыл бұрын

I agree it’s not necessary. Almost everyone I know just sticks them on a stringer. That being said the ole spike to the brain 100% makes a difference. The fillets come out firmer and the meat last’s 2-3 days longer before getting that fishy smell. Not necessary but still pretty neat if you take the time to try it out.
