“A bad day fishing is better than a good at work.” One of the ultimate truths.

Ice rods as I remember were only about 2ft long at best. Went ice fishing in the upper peninsula of Michigan many years ago. Had to chop through 2 ft of ice . Caught a ton of fat yellow perch . Fried em up and washed em down with a cold root beer. Yum! April 15, 1977

Kinda funny how something like that will stick in the memory forever. I was doing temporary duty at Plattsburg Air Force Base when a friend took me out ice fishing back in 1974. I'll never forget the fun, and the taste of those perch. LOL

I love the twist on the conventional way of fishing with your channel. Awesome as always. I've been watching the Tampa Bay Channel for a while. They are really delivering straight forward entertainment, great channel for sure.

Good to see you out fishing again Marty! How fun...never thought to use an ice rod ocean fishing...lol! Pretty snook, and nice grouper...gotta be a little bigger!

Your a classic KZreadr, you never beg for super chats, you just put out good videos

I feel yer pain Marty. This fall, I tried ultralight catfishing outta the yak. Man whatta blast. Now waiting for this cold white stuff to go away. Cheers Buddy!

It’s getting to winter time. You should try catching some flounder soon

Frigid temps are sliding into New England as I type. Thanks for the warm thoughts👍

Grouper. Yummy!

Every fisherman has a skunk day. If you didn’t ever have a skunk day you’re either a good bullshitter or a liar

My grandparents live in Bonita spring i go fishing there for snook on spring break

Skunkape.......who knew????😎😎

Todd is a good friend to have! What exactly do you mean by "ice rod?" If you search the term, you come up with gear for ice fishing. Or is that actually what you mean?

Do u ever go back home? New York. For some reason I think u said u was raised there a long time ago. Damn it's been quite a long time now hasn't it. I call it little red boat. I kinda miss your tackle box. I think I have try to make one now for years and still don't have one

I seen you today Mardi

No ship jumping necessary.

U look like youtuber Ken Tamplin

It’s not the size of the rod but how you use it.....lol

Fun times Marty can you kayak to any spots from your launch for grouper? thank you

From Marty's place to the shipping channel would be a long but doable paddle. If you Google map Tampa, Marty is on the Little Manatee River. The shipping channel would about 5 miles out give or take. Current and crazy boaters is what would deter me from doing that. I have a buddy who paddles across the bay to St Pete, but he has an ocean yak. Mine is just an inshore tub!
