@@saedmalkawi6865 I think Rodney is a good guy and perhaps I didn't word things properly in the video. I think all of the things he's promoted over the years catch fish. Got a coho on one of those yellow spoons first cast the other day.

Yes, it's nice to have free gear. Mind you if I just went to work for an extra couple of hours I could afford to buy a bunch of stuff too. I enjoy the treasure hunting aspect of it I guess.

These snorkling videos are amazing. So cool to see what their cover looks like from under the surface.

You're welcome and glad you caught a fish. Lots of people believe that I ruin the fishing when I swim through, but that has not been my experience.

Awesome. I do this but in the winter when our waters freeze over and pick a ton gear out of the trees using a tree pruner!

I always find it funny when people say not to throw what everyone else throws when chances are there are 3 of the exact same lures you throw sitting on bottom for every fish to swim by lol.

Or dangling off the branches. I think the lure has to have action as well as appearance. A lure on the bottom is just another rock to a fish.

I don't disagree, I wear their hat in all my videos, but I don't even get a discount.

How much weight is on your dive belt to keep from having to fight the buoyancy? I also like to clean out the rivers/streams I fish at. There just too much trash in our waters.

@petrhermanadventures9509

10 ай бұрын

That really depends on the suit. I like to have about 5 pounds of positive buoyancy so that It's no effort to stay on the surface. My 7mm suit takes about 18 pounds of weight.
