Vinika T....Thanks!! The fish are on the prowl in the Refuge....The boat ride is a lot of fun.....Enjoy your weekend!!

@@WesLovelace you are very lucky to have that area. I still can't get over the temperature of the water 👍

YouNextCast.....Thanks Titus!! It's kind of like having a shiny new fish and the next time he/she smacks a top water they get to be on UTube....again....LOL!! Since we're both catch and releasers think about this.....A fish is too valuable a resource to catch only once....Sea you on the Sunny side up!!

Dzaid TV....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by!!

Juan A. Garcia.....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment!!

Channel full of dreams....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking out the channel!!

@@WesLovelace I have no doubt the light show adds some spice to your trip!

Casual Carolina Fishing.....Thanks Bill!! I'm ready for fall weather and the cool down...It's a grind in all this heat and chasing the bite has been reserved for a few hours at daylight when there is a big tide!!

Allen Outdoors.....Thanks Tim!! So far this year Florida has been under a bubble of high pressure that has pretty much steered all storms away from my house on the central Florida coast.....This next storm Delta will make landfall around Louisiana or Texas maybe as a Cat 4....about 500+ miles from here....This has been a busy season!!

lza Sol.....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking out the channel!!

Khmer Dishes....Thanks!! I've been fishing all my life allover the US and the Refuge has been my paradise for many years....Fishing is a great hobby....Have a great week!!

baniorz trains....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by!!

Wildlife & Birds UK....Thanks Jane!! My tunnel boat will run in 5" of water and I'm always pushing the limit!! I've been fishing this 25 miles of coastline for 30 years now and know where the bite might occur so I check out as many spots as I can in 2 to 3 hours especially during the summer with the water temps in the 90's along with an air temp near 100 on some days!! This time of year I'm on the water before light and off by 9-10AM!! I've got 2 boats but this boat is custom designed to navigate the skinny water in the Refuge and the other is strictly for offshore fishing....The tunnel is the only one like this that I know of....Have a great weekend!!

@@WesLovelace Wow, the tunnel boat is fabulous for you and wherever the water is skinny you must be the only boat out there! I imagine that a heatwave could lower the water level a little? Or is it always the same depth? Enjoy your weekend too Wes 👍◕‿◕

Jeremy of New Scotland.....Thanks!! The Refuge is quite large and I've been running this back country for 30 years so I have quite a few places to check out every time I'm up there.....They call Florida the fishing capital of the world....I know I've got a reel paradise where I live here in Bayport....Have a great weekend!!

Big John's Life......Thanks!! It has....Daytime temps are in the mid 80's with the water temp now at 82 degrees down from mid 90's . Expecting even cooler weather by the end of next week....The fish should really get cranked!!

Petros Kalaitzis.....Thanks!! Great scenery and excellent fishing are available to those who know the area!!

ryan brebes rod.....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking the Fishing out here on the Florida Coast!!

@@WesLovelace oke greeting for me thank you

Diamond H Farmhouse....Thanks!! The Inshore bite has started to get hot before dawn in the Refuge with multiple species available on top waters and soft plastics....Have a great week!!

Go Midwest Fishing.....Thanks Rande!! Here lately the only enjoyable time on the water is before sunrise and till about 10AM then miserable sets in and the bite shuts down!! Here lately the storm direction is from the west and these boomers hit the coast early so sometimes I seem to do more dodging than flippin'.....LOL!! Enjoy your weekend!!

Natural Technologist.....Thanks!! Appreciate you stopping by the channel.....Have a great week!!

Father & Sons Fishing....Thanks!! It's a grind sometimes with all the real estate to run in but catching 3 species is what I'm always after!!

Joy Great....Thanks!! Appreciate you checking out my latest trip to the Refuge!!

Nick Hatziatefanou.....Thanks!! From Mc Raes it's about 5 miles to the Gulf but there are other options since I fish the area. First you could try the Mason Creek Ramp....It's about 3 miles to the Gulf plus there are plenty of canals to be explored during the winter and when you start toward the Gulf you are on the northern boundary of The Chassahowitzka NWR where I fish to the south. There are a lot of islands to the Gulf and a cut called 7 Cabbage that will take you to the Chassahowitza River. North towards Crystal River is Ozello.....You take a left on the road and after you go over the first bridge there is a road to the left called John Brown and there is a ramp there....It's about 3 miles to the gulf but there dozens of islands to explore and you can do your fishing at low water.....That means nobody to bug you!! North to Crystal River there is Ft. Island Beach Park on the Gulf and a launching ramp right on the Gulf.....Lots of water to explore!! Head another 7 miles north up US 19 you go across the Withlacoochee River to Yankeetown. Hang a left at the light and there are great launching facilities where the River meets the Gulf!! I'd suggest you go north toward the Waccasassa River and try every creek you can!! Those are your options and I've been fishing around this area a long time.....This is still a great place to live and fish.....Just way more crowded.....Feel free to drop more questions anytime.....Sea Ya and Good Luck!!

Randolph Relic Recovery.....Thanks Martin!! In the summer it's a top water when in the skinny water!! I've got 3 exact rods/reels.....One with a top water....One with a Mirrodine suspending twitch bait and a weed less paddle tail....If one doesn't work one of the other two usually will!!

@@WesLovelace I'm just guessing. But, I'm thinking it's working pretty dang good👍. You're consistently slamming the fish!
