all right guys welcome back to the
channel uh it's little after
lunchtime I spent all
morning fishing in Port St Joe and the
bite was dead so on the way back I
decided to hit some backwaters in Panama
City Beach to see if I could Salvage the
day and maybe get a video out of it so
you see I got the links here we're going
to be trolling some
artificials uh some fish bites paddle
Tails uh got some artificial shrimp
we're going to go see what we can stir
up maybe we get into some red fish or
trout or something like that so we got a
couple lures we're just going to troll
these behind us and until we start
getting a
bite we're just keep trolling around and
then the trout should be kind of
concentrated in one little area this
time of year
now this is really my first time ever
using a black lure and salt water we
used to use some black top Waters at
night back in Oklahoma when we were
fishing ponds but I'd never tried it in
salt water but I thought it was worth a
shot here because the water was pretty
dark and it was a cloudy day so it
should do a good job imitating the
silhouette of a bait fish here we go all
right
so you can see as soon as I got to the
first deep hole here it didn't take long
for the action to
start what what's going on oh I do have
one I got a little trout little baby
trout it's a pretty
one pretty
trout all right come on hold still hold
still
all right guys nice pretty trap little
guy all right he was over there on that
bank let's see if there's any
more just slowly bumping it on the
bottom oh yeah that's better that's a
little
better yeah that's decent not I don't
even think he's keeper size but we're
not keeping fish today
all right we're getting into them now

bottom there we
go what do we got here another little
one man these are little guys oh there

year

right let's see if we can get this guy
without touching him yeah that's a nice
one cute cute little
guy ah come

rod with my Florida fishing products

fluorocarbon leader
earlier I believe I'm using a
three 1/8 oun zman jig head with the
black fish bites butt
kicker see right
there let's go a little deeper let's go
that way cast that way and see what
happens right before the bridge over
there there's a real deep hole so they
might be stacked up in there because the
water's still pretty cold we haven't had
a sunny day
to warm the water up since the
freeze all right there we go is that a
little bit better maybe let's
see yeah little

right all right hold still hold
still gotcha it be easy
one all right another nice one nice
little bunch of these little
juveniles this is how it is though like
in the winter sometimes I
mean you take what you can get you all
you can do is go fish these Backwater
with the Deep creeks and catch some
trout and some red fish especially after
these monster cold fronts where we get
all those freezing
temps but I mean it's better than not
catching
anything
all right what is that what do I got
another little
trout man these little guys are just so
abundant it's
crazy where is your
[Music]
daddy

email I this is big let me call you
back this a good trout all right good
[Music]
trout yeah not a bad one I mean not a
monster bigger than some of the ones
we've been
catching so I'd switched to the fish
bites curly tail in white and it just
wasn't getting as consistent a bite as
you'll see when I switch back here in a
minute to the black paddle tail it just
takes off again yep that one's
gone all right guys make it make sure
and if you want to try out out some of
these fish bites scented soft
Plastics to use my code in the
description get you a
discount they're liking the little soft
bump retrieve today that's for
sure haven't got anything
trolling or Slow
Rolling they're just wanting it bumped
along the
bottom
that's
decent
maybe now didn't really need the net but
let's just make sure he didn't Shake
loose all right woo barely
hooked all
right oh just another
juvenile little
small nice little teaser
trout it's funny some guys they get real
upset when I use the net when the fish
isn't
big I don't know why that upsets some
people I'd rather just make sure I
landed it and have it in the net
but oh
well not going to make everybody
happy there we go all right got another
let me guess another
trout barely landed them all right come
on
buddy all right he gone
figured there'd be some over by this
tree okay guys if you haven't noticed
I'm in my Hobie links uh I've used it a
few times just kind of tested it out
feeling it out uh this will be the first
video with it uh so far I'm really happy
with it uh the
stability uh the portability of it I can
throw it on top of my truck without
breaking my back I can't do that with
the Oldtown and I can't do that with the
Hobie Outback they're just too big but
this one I
can uh it's easy to carry down to the
beach um got a lot of advantages but uh
here after about two months of using it
I'll do a review for you guys and uh
tell you my thoughts on
it
there we go all right back to the paddle
tail I never thought black would
work but they sent me a few of these
and try out uh the black's done really
outperformed everything thing
today just like that as soon as I put it
back
on First
cast there we
go
nice nice all right H still H still H
still one of the bigger ones of the day
super skinny though God these guys are
skinny
golly second cast putting it back on a
little acrobatic one here
golly come
here oh you got foul hooked that's why
you're
mad you didn't even get it in your mouth
there we go another decent one
that's fun when the bik's like
this
jeez never should have taken the uh
black paddle tail
off
all right that's three out of four cast
landed
trout
and the one I didn't land one I got hit
wow
