  That's for sure. I just cultivated a new track that runs from Bayport channel north, just in front of Pine Island, that essentially follows the 2' MLLW contour. I wanted an alternate route for when winds are high and waves are rollers at the Marker 3 depth. It is shallow though and you have to go down the way swerving like a drunken snake. It has to be 1.5 or better for me to take that. Never take anything for granted. But, hey, that is where the fish are!

  Very nice. I veer out by Nickle and come back in a Net Spread. The boat that you see in the vid is a 1988 Maverick Deluxe. I just had the bottom redone and when I did, I replaced the Jackplate and moved the Suzuki up one hole. I can get on plane in 1.5' feet and remain, but I do feel safer running out a bit at Higgenbotham bay and staying with the 2' depth contour. It's not a tunnel-hull boat like yours. But I do like how one boat can do that and run 30 miles off in the same day, so it serves me well. I grew up playing on the river, but only started fishing the outer NWR and creeks since 2018. What is interesting is that I have fished it pretty hard for the past 6 years yet in the last two trips better than 80% of the areas I have fished are completely new to me. So expansive that there is always some nook or cranny that you have never ventured into. Such a treasure.

  Good day Mark. A lightweight Aquadream might actually be good, but you'd have to keep it constantly moving. There is literally 10-12" of water over top these limestone rocks and the fish hide between them. It is not river-rocks or pea gravel, but large outcroppings of rocks, so any lures that fall towards the sea floor will get caught up in these rocks. For instance, in a similar location on Friday, I caught two of those Rat Reds I mentioned on a Jerkshad on a rigging hook with a 1/8oz belly weight. The thing is, I also lost two of those jerkshad/rigging hook setups to the rocks. Its only maybe $3 to lose a DOA jerkshad and an Owner Twistlock, but you wouldn't want to do even that that over and over. If you have something that settles to the sea floor, you will either lose it or end up blowing out the spot to get out and wade over and get it (the boat can only get so close). Especially if you pause your retreive to work the trolling motor or something. Having a lure that returns to the surface when you pause the retrieve is key. The Topwater, Wakebait and even a Jerkbait are three that work very well in this setting.

  So on occasion, in deeper marshy waters, I've fished freshwater style crankbaits with mixed results. If the fish are biting aggressively, the crankbaits work nicely. A wake bait is simply a crankbait that runs at the surface down to about 6 in deep. It can be really productive when the fish are holding tight to these craggy Limestone structures along the mangrove edge because, when you release tension on the line and stop your retrieve, the lure floats, so it floats free of the hard limestone bottom. Even if your lure snags typically, it's only briefly. If you twitch it a few times it floats free of the rocks. I've purchased two of the Salt Strong "Skinny Lipper" lures, which is basically a floating twitch bait. I'm assuming they work similarly but I just haven't had the chance to put in the time with them.

  It's definitely tougher there. I usually move to Ozello when I actually want to harvest one in September. So much better habitat for larger ones and so much easier to sneak up on them. We've seen some big ones in Chaz, so I know they are there, but I've come up short so far. In fact Jimmy Tintle and I have fished the Chassahowitzka NWR consistently for the past six years and have only harvested one Snook and that one was just a hair over 28". I think due to the shallow water, they so often see us coming... ;op

  So with the YakAttack version you don’t have to crimp or cut any cables? Just plug n play?

• 
  @longstrangejourney47765 ай бұрын

  When you buy the unit it comes with a pigtail that connects into the connector system of the YakAttack and then you would have to crimp that into anything that's not USB. So for charging GoPro batteries or my mobile phone no, I don't need to crimp or cut anything. I just used a USB accessory. But for operating a depth finder chart plotter you would need to crimp it into whatever cabling comes from them. Garmin is different from Simrad/Lowrance which is different from Humminbird so those are not standardized. For powering a chart plotter you would need to crimp the power leads into the YakAttack pigtail.

• 
  @longstrangejourney47765 ай бұрын

  If I hadn't picked a specific location yet, and I had a boat of that size, I would consider Goodland in the north first. It has much more generous water levels and well marked channels and almost all of the beachy island are unregulated. If you want to stay in the Everglades area itself, Everglades City isn't bad. There is a main channel from there and it goes out to Indian Key Pass. As you go out Indian Key Pass out to the outside, just to the north is Picnic Key. I think that is the northern most boundary of the park, so north of there is unregulated island camping. Indian Key Pass and the narrow channel that connects it to Everglades City is pretty deep. Your boat should be able to handle it well.
