good morning guys we are back out in
Panama City Beach today
we are hitting the jetty again a little
bit different today
got live shrimp
got a couple different rigs so we've got
light winds oh Southeast it's really
Pleasant today
the water looks great
so hopefully the fish are biting
so uh let's get out there catch some big
fish
so I spent the first hour tossing live
shrimp on about the first third of the
jetty for mangroves and I had zero luck
so I decided to move further out on the
jetty
catch any mangroves
oh okay
yep
you had any luck yet foreign
oh nice
okay guys he's over here catching
flounder so we're gonna switch to uh
fish bites I don't have any of the uh
curly tails but I do have the paddle
tail so we're going to start put a jig
head on start bouncing that off the
bottom
I always like to stretch these
fish spice before I put them on gives
them a little more action
foreign
there we go
are you keeping fish
you want them
I don't know if he's legal or not but
14 okay
yes sir
hold on one second all right guys caught
a flounder bouncing the fish bites off
the bottom
so uh we're gonna keep doing that I saw
this gentleman here hammering The
Flounder down there so I thought I'd
give it a try
hey what yep here you go
yep
Duke ass do fish he's a little bigger
well maybe
all right
flounder number two
they like these fish bites yeah oh fish
bite yeah have you used those no no but
you but I saw it
don't bite me
all right it's getting a little worn
so what I'm gonna do
he's not staying on the hook so I'm just
cutting the end off a little bit makes
them a little shorter but you get a new
bite
so it'll hold again
there you go oops I'll put them on
upside down I don't think it's going to
matter though
these flounders are so hungry
I don't even got cast that far because
these guys are hitting it right up by
the rocks
twitch twitch pause
believe that's an eighth ounce jig head
I'm using
oh that's a good one
holy cow
look at that
effects
that's nice man that's a good one
I didn't I was just coming out here to
make a video and I wasn't planning on
catching flounder yeah
it's a nice one
oh boy
Michelle's gonna be mad
she loves flounder
I didn't bring anything to keep fish
with
oh my gosh
I'm gonna be in trouble
well this is a perfect example of I came
out here with live shrimp expecting to
Target mangroves
you just adapt to whatever's biting
got another one
all right
that's another one look how pretty these
guys are
look at this
he's a little guy but still pretty
look how pretty that is
I think he's gonna be short
whoa
whoops
he gonna be raccoon food now
hello so I'm just sitting here I'm
talking on the phone to my wife I was
taking a little bit of a break letting
her know what's going on when all of a
sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw
something
he actually startled me and uh
I was like why didn't you warn me and he
said well I had something in my mouth so
I couldn't talk
so I mean to me this seemed really uh
unsafe
to be going along there snorkeling and
scuba diving and although I know that
fishermen don't own The Jetty and other
people use it for other uses there is
such thing as common courtesy and I did
not feel like this guy was practicing
any of it
so I just decided not to make an issue
of it I let it slide and then he comes
back the other direction a few minutes
later doesn't even surface to warn me
he's just swimming along underneath so I
just start beating the water with my rod
just to let them know I'm fishing there
he just kept going didn't do anything
so later on I called the FWC and asked
them what's the legalities of all of
this and they said he was not scuba
diving legally since he did not have a
flag up and I told him he walked in from
the beach into the water they said it
doesn't matter and still have to have a
flag to be legal
they also said he was breaking a
cardinal safety rule of never scuba
diving by yourself so let me know if
this has happened to you or what you
would do if you were presented with the
same situation all right let's go down
the end see if we can catch a few
mangroves before we pack up so I get
down to the end of The Jetty somebody
was fishing off the end so I moved over
to the side I didn't want to fish too
close to him and I started throwing some
live shrimp and I did notice while I was
fishing there that a boat pulled up
while that guy was fishing off the end
pretty close
more on that in a little bit
there we go
got one
nice Pompano
nice pumping out all right
all right
Pompano
yeah nice one
all right
not what I was targeting but
heck
that's pretty cool
all right guys we got a nice Pompano
here on the live shrimp uh clipped the
tail off so he couldn't run from him and
uh they came up and nailed it so let's
get him back in
and
you'll see the more fish I catch the
closer that boat keeps getting
it got another good one come on get up
get up get up
ah
yeah good one
oh come on
yeah that shrimp they're liking that
shrimp stop
digging across the bottom yeah just
dragging it
yeah that might work
well this guy wasn't coming loose
there we go got him
all right guys got us another Pompano
here
oh he's bleeding we're gonna let him go
I'm not keeping fish today are you
keeping fish
all right let that guy go
these are all big pumping
okay so that boat that pulled up right
in front of the guy at the end of The
Jetty is now cussing at him
they had already Tangled lines with me
once and I just didn't say a word I
unhooked it and let them have their line
back so now they're angry that this
guy's line crossed over one of theirs
and to be clear the guy at the end of
The Jetty had a set rig out when they
pulled right up on him and he was also
throwing a lure right or wrong I decided
to step in when they started acting a
little aggressive towards the elderly
gentleman that was fishing on the end
that's not good etiquette man
that's not good boat etiquette at all he
tried to justify his actions by telling
me that we've got the whole other side
of the jetty that we can fish and then
he said that there's enough fish in this
area for all of us to catch that's what
everybody's doing man but he was the
only one that was ripping on people
after I intervened it kind of quieted
down and they didn't say anything else
but they did keep moving closer and
closer to where I was catching the fish
right in the line of my casting
but look how close these guys are and
then he just cast right in front of me
so let me know am I in the wrong here or
is it the guys in the boats or being
jerks because I really felt like they
were being jerks but I have been wrong
before so it could happen again
let me know in the comments what you
think
he wouldn't even be there if he hadn't
seen me cop that first Pompano
oh I feel like Karma took care of
everything because they never landed a
fish while they were there and I caught
four right in front of them there we go
oh that's a good one
wow that's a good one oh
dude come on oh no there he is all right
all right they want the shrimp moving
you let it sit there they don't touch it
yep
all of these are slabs man
I wish I would have had these for the
pump tournament last week
all right guys another nice pump on the
shrimp
looks like uh they want it moving
let it sit on the bottom they don't
touch it
come on dude
and then I start dragging it popping it
all right I didn't want to do that but
all right
all right guys that's gonna be it for
today I hope you enjoyed the video uh
caught a mess of flounder a mess of
Pompano
got to see uh some boaters act like
so uh it's a good day it's fun so uh if
