Good video. I wish you had mentioned how to replace the ATF in the hydraulic pump/cylinder. Fill and bleed.

thanks for your trip.always learn something.amazing that those small fish go after a much larger lure, I see that as well. never saw whole school of jacks like you say, probable a discharge of unwanted fish from some large seine net. John

Cool to see you out of port fouchon and old hatchet island. This is my go to spot and the surrounding Islands in the summer, the next small island is also really productive with a popping cork and matrix shad or voodu shrimp. You will have to weed through lady fish and black tips and also large bill reds, but I Had plenty of solid limits out that way so far. But the popping cork is the best besides the swim and hard baits. A little longer run early in the morning to east timbalier island will also land some nice big trout on popping corks with soft plastics.

Alright John, I’ve noticed you have started throwing a Baitcaster more and more. Is there a specific reason for the change? Any situations you prefer the spinning reel over the Baitcaster? Thanks, for sharing your videos!
@JonMillerFishingАй бұрын
Good question. I used to only throw baitcasters until I started fishing jeckbaits and twitch baits regularly. Now I prefer spinning for those lures but baitcasters for topwater and jigs. There are times though when those get switched because of what pole is available. One example is the black Reaper rod with Shimano Aldebaran reel. That combo is SO nice that I want to use it more.

That little fish that the trout spit up early in the video with the sucker fins is a clingfish (Gobiesox strumosus), very common on oyster reefs and rocks. Not parasitic, but trout food

WOW!!! That fast action will wear you out quickly but there isn’t a better way to get worn out that I know of. The last time o fished “the barges” was 2010 and we were wade fishing. I’ve gotten wise since then; I no longer offer myself as shark bait 😅. I have friends that let me know when they are biting good and big size. You two seem to be doing a great job with them on this trip.

I recognize most of the area you are fishing but don’t recall that pile of concrete at time mark 6:40 in your video. Is that new (within last 2-3 years)? Good video. Helps locate fish and builds anticipation.

What does the position/level switch do? I am having trouble with my motor not going down from the top position
@JonMillerFishingАй бұрын
The position switch provided input to a trim position gauge on my console. Not very useful information on a skiff. As far as I know, the switch wouldn't stop the motor from going down.

I use Shimano bait casters, Curado, Chronarch, Metanium, Core, and Aldebaran. They have held up very well for me in brackish and saltwater fishing.

You seem to fish in rough water, why not a bay boat? Your boat is made for floating shallow flats.
@JonMillerFishing2 ай бұрын
I also float shallow flats and use it to get into creeks when the water is low on the flats. There are many reasons why I run this boat. Right now I have to tow my boat long distances to get to the good trout fishing. The trip in this video is 150 miles each way and I may do that every weekend in the summer. Towing this small boat is easy and economical. There are always tradeoffs with boats, but my 17' flats boat is getting it done in my situation. Thanks for asking.
