2021 Salty H20 Fishing Thread!

Great video Michael!

Is Compton camera shy or something?

I posted this on its own thread, but figure it's suitable enough for this one, especially considering I'm not sure some of ya ever make it off this thread (especially when Mayhem is keeping up with the daily catch! )

Anyway, I think I may have found a suitable filming option for wade fishing (and yak fishing) trips that don't involve a jerky GoPro head mount AND that allows me to fish without thinking much about trying to frame and film the shot.

Let me know your honest opinion on the footage, especially compared to other self filmed wade fishing footage.

Great video, and the catch will be back before you know it.

Great footage, Michael

That's why I use 4lb and 6lb ultralight spinning reels now only, when I spin the skinny stuff.



I can out cast any baitcaster setup, with a 1/8 oz micro lure, to rock piles and structure and never get spooled after hookup. And the hookup just turned another regular kind of fight into a special, follow that sob kinda of experience, tackle of this kind provides. Not gonna get spooled going deep, may get spooled if I can't hang on the flat in pursuit or cut off if I can't pull them off the structure.



I am running a mix of fly gear and super ultralight and high end micro spinning reels this year. The species targeted will be everything that will suck down a lure or fly on an ultralight spinning reel. And if it's the right pig - it just may bust some numbers on the line class scale.



Fished a couple of weeks right after the freeze - working ultra light custom spinners. Got into a mess of Croakers running into the Laguna - on the 4lb setup, absolute blast and they hit super tiny setups with no weight flipped and drifted next to the jetties. Everything was a blast and the bite count - folks everywhere around us = NOTHING



The regular cast and blast stuff is along for the ride but, this lightweight game is my new CRACK on the skiff. Pole, electric troll and or putt putt the big engine - the pursuit is on.

That's similar to what I love doing. 7' and 7'6 ML rods, with a 200-2500 series spinner on 10# braid. Landed everything from 40+lbs big ugly, to trout, reds, even a few largemouth bass and hybrids over 3-5#. Lots of fun. I love throwing my weightless lures and 1/8oz traps and stuff.

Great Video. Was that a drone in the beginning or creative camera magic?

That's one of the nifty features of most 360 cams! They call it an "invisible selfie stick" but it's some kind of AI wizardry! LOL! When it stiches the images from both sides together, it is able to cut out the vertical selfie stick below. Crazy technology.

Great video Michael!

You wouldn't think so. But every time I've mic'd him up or put him on camera, he seems to clam up!

BOB is also a self-proclaimed expert on BBQ, CFB and music, but his tastes for those things leave a lot to be desired, also.

I'm around. The thread did slow down and I haven't gotten to fish much this spring. The baitcast vs spinning reels is interesting.
