    Love, Love, Love your adventures. We bought a place in Bradenton Florida on the Manatee river in Dec. Came home to Ohio for the holidays and due to medical issues we are still in Ohio. Your videos are keeping us excited about returning to our new home hopefully by March first. Clay you are so knowledgeable and believe it or not you are teaching an old dog new tricks. Fishing in Florida is totally different than the Great Lakes. We Love the both of you , your videos are top notch. Thank you for all that you do. You are so RICHLY BLESSED.

    Your camera work is simply incredible - the colors, focus, and sharpness come through in a way that is hard to beat. I am watching this on my large Samsung TV connected to a Windows laptop and it is unbelievably clear. Simply not possible at any price even 10 or 15 years ago.

I knew you were going to have something big for how many days I’ve been waiting! Lol. I LOVE THIS!!! I’m coming down again next week and this really has me pumped up and ready to leave these cold MN temps behind! Please please please tell me there’s a “part 2” coming because I felt like it ended to soon, I was left wanting more, WAY more! I mean I always want more, but this ended to quickly. I know how much you put into these videos between prep, shooting and editing and I’m great fun for you videos, but I was sad when it ended and where it ended. I wasn’t ready! Awesome video! Thanks!

    Hello Clay and Stephanie. All I can say is wow! I am a new subscriber and just love the videos you guys capture and share. Clay, that shot of the sunrise after spending the night at Dry Tortuga Islands on the boat was spot on! Almost got teary eyed, such a magnificent scene. I hope to one day visit the Keys and try some of the spectacular fishing while there. That meal Stephanie cooked up looked amazing and delicious. Continued blessings to both of you and keep these amazing adventures coming!

    I forgot to tell you in December, but my wife bought me an Avail hat for Christmas and I am loving it. I have had so many compliments on it and she tells me I look awesome with it on (she doesn't tell me that very often either). I just want to thank ya'll for your videos and products. It gives me something to look forward to, one day when I retire. I know that no where is perfect, but what you have looks pretty close to it from my point of view. Keep up the good work and if you ever visit the Nashville area, I will be glad to be your tour guide.

    Wow, stunning moments that you captured! Just amazing 👏. I do have a question for you. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and have planned a trip. The last week of April, we'll have a group of 4 to 6 staying at Islamorada. Fishing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Can you recommend a charter for all three days or even a different charter for each day? Fishing for everything that we've seen in your videos! With one exception. 1 of the days they want to Fly fish... still trying to plan an amazing trip, so your insight is greatly appreciated!
