Happy New Year Everyone!! btw the hooded camo redfish shirt I'm wearing in this video is in fact out now on my website! www.jmfishco.com/product-page/hooded-camo-redfish-performance-shirt

Sometimes nothing is better than shrimp.

I'm not a big saltwater fisherman, simply because I don't live near it, first of all. Not long ago(when I actually had money to do it) I rented a house down just south of Tampa on an island that had to be accessed by ferry. It had it's own private dock on a canal that I knew had tons of mullet in it, due to the fact that they were jumping 24/7 and it reaked of fish, in a gooood way, if you're a fisherman. I tried like, artificial lures and stuff and finally caught a small jack on a silver spoon. This exited me greatly because I don't catch stuff like that often. On the day before we left, I took the ferry off island to get some things and found some frozen, whole bait shrimp and bought them, not really knowing if they would really work. Well, they worked, and worked really well! Every time I put one out there something hit it. This canal was loaded and I had just been using the wrong bait. From now on, every time I go inshore fishing, I'm getting me some whole shrimp, alive if possible.

Jacks are fun man, florida and really texas, and carolinas south.. you have awesome fishing for snapper and good eating saltwater fish. super under rated.

Shrimp is an Amazing Bait I even got a Bass on it..also 1 thing that very effective is .Chum the water with finely chopped Glass Minnows..

this is what we like to see j-mondo

Cutting ur shrimp in 1/2 works really well too n it's doubles ur bait capacity

You have the most perfect casting idk how u haven’t got caught on a tree

Live shrimp is my #1 bait...in Everglades National Park...I hooked a catfish n a bass on shrimp...live or cut bait..beats artificial lure..everytime

Nice job, always killing it inshore on the Gheenoe!! Happy 2022

Love your videos man, keep it up!

Can you make a red fish video using the gold spoons that you used in Louisiana to see if they react/bite same the way? Keep up the great videos!!!

Hey man just wanted to say I love your vids and the way you fish

In the winter time you don't have to be out on the water as early. I generally start fishing around 8:30 - 9:00am during the cooler weather and catch plenty of fish.

Sheepshead are some of the weirdest fish to hook. One time I somehow accidentally hooked one in the poop shute (the hook was actually in the hole) it broke me off on a piling. 10 minutes later I caught that same fish with my hook still inside its hole.

Magic

Bro, if you are from the Melbourne FL area you live right by me, haha. Would be cool to see you around sometime. Enjoy your videos! Fish on!

Left over shrimp, eat them. Great video.

I miss my Gheenoe lol. Such cool and fun little boats. I wanna get an LT25 though for my next one.

I have a hard time live bait fishing with circle hooks and not setting the hook after fishing with a bunch of artificials and having to set the hook. I feel your pain haha

Do you have a vid reviewing your bucket aerator?

Come down to Tampa again

Can you do a tour of your arsenal

Cold water holds more oxygen which is why they fight harder and release better

I had got bit by a mangrove snapper too a couple of months ago probably in Miami, my friend warned me but I guess I didn't hear him to well because I got bit up right on my middle finger and I knew it was bad I started bleeding right away, but just wanted to say I got nervous for you when you were trying to take that one off, at least now I know and I've heard if it was a bigger fish that it can take off a finger probably but the one i got bit by was probably the same size as this one 15:00 😂👍

In that river about a week ago and it was way clear then when this video was made

Hooking them through the horn doesn’t kill them. awesome video man!

Cold water they build up less acid in muscle so can fight harder.

Do you do catch clean and cook u catch some nice fish, do u eat them?

You should come bring your boat down to Texas to fish.

Before you go on the Gheenoe do you check the wind/weather? And do you ever just turnaround and go home?

yes I always check wind and weather every time I go fishing. It will decide where and how I fish. I've gone home after being out an hour or two.

Not for nothing they're much easier to cast rigged from the tail as opposed to the head 👌 More control when sight casting.

Cool video! Enjoyed it. BTW, the cooler the water, the more O2 it retains therefore the fish can fight harder and longer. They also revive easier. I've seen this with bass and trout too...until it gets too cold then the trend reverses.

For some reason in the areas I fish the tarpon will not give any type of shrimp presentation the time of day, all they’ll eat is a live finger mullet or pilchard and occasionally a swim bait it’s really weird

If you rig it through the head the shrimp swims better

Cold water retains more oxygen than warm water thus making it easier for the fish to fight to their full potential That's why fish will fight harder in cold water

water temp 75 right now very comfy

Yes Justin, I do have a question. How come your money on live shrimp is well spent and my hard earned live shrimp yield nothing but undersized mangroves and catfish!?!? Lol!

Hey Justin, For inshore fishing where you don’t have to cast hard, I hook shrimp through the tail, for when I’m fishing the inlet or where I have to cast hard and far, I rig them through the head so I don’t end up casting them off .👍

I thought you were an engineer! Jk. Fish fight harder when it’s cold because the water is denser and thus holds more oxygen. For everyone curious about that comment at the start of the vid.
