This was my 5th and final day of Fishing in Florida, footage is from Tuesday Feb. 23. Launched my Kayak in a random location in the Indian River I saw on Google Maps to fish some Mangrove Creeks, the goal today was to get out of the wind and also get on some fish, in total I landed some Speckled Trout, a tiny Jack, a Sail-Cat, Mangrove Snapper and a Barracuda. Primarily used zoom flukes on light jigheads and caught everything in less than 5' of water. Kayak: Hobie Revo 13 Rod: 6'6 St. Croix Avid Reel: Shimano Sustain 4000 FE with 30lb Power Pro.

Kyacks tend to grow legs at night and walk away.
I was there, in Florida, for 6 months. My experience was good with plastic warms for bass, surface at night and... Small lakes with lots of plants were goos spots for bass. That's it. I was in Pompano Beach. Nice video. Just like my kinf of fishing.
Love your vids!
tight lines!!!

the okeechobee water way was completed in 1937 water has been dumped from okeechobee for almost 80 years.... the firtilizer and pesticides that all you waterfront property owners are using is probably creating more damage than an 80 year old waterway..... that has arguably had significantly higher waterlevels than it is seeing today.... so raining anonymous is your right but it doesn't add to your credibility or the accuracy of the infomation you are Internet cowboying. it will recover just as it has for nearly the half century I have been alive.... but in the mean time stop using pesticides and fertilizer on your lawn.... and ask your neighbors to do the same. hug a manatee before they are all gone.
love your work
If you want snook, I'd say go to Stuart/Jensen Beach to fish for them. I live there and they are always plentiful in the summer. Fish sea walls. If you want reds, go further up to Sebastian. Also, I think you should try mosquito lagoon next time. I've only been there once, in terrible conditions, and we saw a ton of redfish. Even saw a bunch of tailing redfish that we weren't able to get to thanks to a front that moved through at that very moment. For tarpon, I always have the best luck in the summer catching those. You should look in to heading down during the mullet run on the beaches. Might need to boost up your tackle a bit before catching one of them.
Good video tho!

Also, there are giant bull sharks and dolphins up in there, and those gafftopsails get to nearly 20 pounds.
Man, you should do these "journey" series more often, or any video that creates a narrative.
That's something that is lacking in the YouTube fishing community. Robert Field is someone that is trying to make this "narrative driven videos" work if I'm correct.
Other thing that you got right is the focus on the location and nature, things that fisherman more than anyone pay a lot of attention to it. A lot of fishing videos can't convey this aspect very well. They even use those terrible, rock soundtrack that don't fit well with the fishing experience.
