Fishing reports, tips, techniques and general "how to" knowledge for fishing and DIY projects.
I have grown up in SWFL, boated, surfed and fished local waters for decades.
In the fall I will most likely transition to college football.
I will also be using my Mavic MIni a lot and posting videos and photo I take with it.

Quick Inshore slam
Finally got a chance to get backout fishing. Although it was HOT was well worth it.
Left out of Matlacha Community park way before dawn and ran around Bokeelia into Pine Island Sound. I left early enough that it was still dark when i finally arrived at my spot. Fished a little set of Mangroves that was surrounded by oyster bars close to deeper water.
Got the red and Snook on the Moonwalker SBD by Salt Strong. Moved to an area that I knew held Trout and one cast with the Polk county Tweaker, Slam Shady color was al it took to lock in the inshore slam.
Goofed off with the white bait and landed a few more trout as well as some Lady fish and cat fish....just a Jack away form the trash can slam.

Another good day out in Pine Island Sound on the Robalo Cayman 226. Left out of Matlacha Community park and ran north to fish the sound. Tried top water in the morning with Salt Strong's Moonwalker, similar to the Heddon Super Spook Jr and didn't have much luck. Switched to a tactic that I don't use that often, Live Bait. Hit up a grass flat and chummed up some white bait and with a couple thro...

Turns out I was up against it pretty well, wrong baits, high water, rain, dirty water everything was against me, and I failed to catch anything. On a positive note, I saw about 20 people fishing and only saw about 5 trout caught, and one gentleman even said it was a tough day that they were not feeding. Do not count me out, it m...

Offshore trip in the Cayman 226 with a surprise catch
Im surprised the ek7000 picture is more vibrant
@KLartrandM so was I..I went into this video expecting the Brave 4 would be better.
I found your video looking for more info on this boat and how it would handle offshore duty. I am in Pt. Charlotte and have to go across Charlotte Harbor and through Boca Grand pass. This seems like the perfect boat for Bull and Turtle bay plus offshore on good weather days. Definitely going with the 250 SHO if I pull the trigger on it. Thanks for the good information!
@chuckurso593 definitely the 250 SHO is the motor that should be in the 226..I have cut across the Harbour in some pretty sketchy days and never batted an eye in the 226. Glad it helped. I absolutely love my 226
Thank you! Once they replaced my lanyard remote because I wasn’t getting a signal from it, but I was getting a signal from the mounted remote. Their customer service is first class. Your other video helped me a lot. Keep em coming!
@wildncrazyguytv glad to hear the video(s) helped...thanks for the support!
Insulated foam cooler would probably maintain water temperature. Maybe if to cold will kill them. Not an expert, just my opinion. But you did great with the outcome
@richardvila3 thank you for the suggestion
Alabama has so much to offer. A geological wonder.
Where did you get the transom backing plates?
@@Aviaryadventures1 from Vance Mfg.
@@residentdawgfishing5424 do you know if the would fit the bolts from a on the fly jack plate?
@Aviaryadventures1 jump on Vance's web site, they sell the bolts as well and you can figure out what size they are, I can't remember off hand....but I imagine they would
@@residentdawgfishing5424 thank you
Good job. However, as a Gheenoe owner, i dont teally understand loading them down eith electronics. The simplicity is what i love about them.
@morganghetti thanks...I do kinda agree with ya, they are great being simple...the more stuff you add dose affect the performance for sure...they are weight sensitive for sure.
If i leave the shrimp inside my house, would I still need to keep the water cold??
@MrGabys91 not as cold.as I did, my garage was well into to upper 90's, summer is SWFL. If I kept them in the AC I would not have bothered with ice packs.
Why did the oil look dirty when he checked it after he was done. 12:42 ?
if you are talking about the very tip, the angle of the dipstick made it look that dark color, but the oil up to the full mark is nice and clear.
Been trying to figure why they wouldn’t illuminate for weeks. Thank you good sir!
@bennettblackmon2858 glad it helped!
@@residentdawgfishing5424 thanks, just did it tonight while on the boat. Finally said it’s time and searched on youtube
You can try a few different things, replace the breaker with a 30 amp breaker so you can run ⅛" E7018 at 120 amps or drop down to 1/16" E7018 at a lower amperage
Thanks for the advice....I am new to welding and any info is greatly appreciated.
Great video. Thanks!
thank you
What paint did you use?
Wasn't paint at all....I used gel coat, then Kiwi grip for the Grey areas.....I think that was in part 2
I made it on an episode of Resident Dawg Fishing!!
cause you finally caught fish....lol
How many liters for the engine
5 quarts (4.7 liters)
@@residentdawgfishing5424 Thank bro
I have a newbie question please. Is the water that pees out of the little hole on the side just to indicate that the cooling system is working, or is that actually the entire output of the cooling circuit? Also, does it flow even if the thermostat is closed because the engine is cold? I'm halfway through doing the job, waiting on parts, and I couldn't see anywhere else the water could escape (but I am new to outboard maintenance) thanks. Simon.
the peeing is the water exiting from the system, if you hook it up and run it it will start cold then warm up as the engine does. if your outboard is not peeing there might be something clogging the pee tube, use heavy mono to try and unblock it, The thermostat directs it to the area that needs to be cooled, if the thermostat is closed it simply by passes the heads and exits out the pee tube,
@@residentdawgfishing5424 I understand. Thank you very much. Good fishing. Simon.

Just ordered this little machine i have an 80amp chicago stick welder that is only good with 3/32 rods gonna try 1/8 rods with this one on 110v see what happens
I saw a video where they ran 1/8 rods with it, but on 220V. I am sure it will run them, but on 110 you may not get good penetration.
@@residentdawgfishing5424 I got it in yesterday ran a 6011 1/8 rod on 106amps did good and didn't trip my breaker..the machine only comes in 110v at least the one I got did
@@irishlush364 very cool...good to know.
Well done.
thank you
That sound 😍😍 Beautiful fish!!
Thank you
I did this same one with my dad this weekend and loved it! 10/10
I am sure they have good trips and bad trips....it's fishing afterall...but they should adapt to the conditions to give clients the best expirence.
I'm having major issues with my spotlock on the Ultrex. The foot pedal is also giving me fits. They are going to repair it under warranty but I'm waiting until my major season is over. Mine is not a voltage issue. I recommend going to a 36v lifepo4 battery. I did it 2 years ago and took about 150 pounds out of my boat. Can't tell you how much better it is than my old setup with 3 12v lead acid batteries and moving that single 30 pound battery beats heck out of those lead acid. I also found that all the newer fish finder units are very voltage sensitive. I went to a dedicated 50ah lifepo4 battery for all 3 and haven't had a single issue like I was having using my cranking battery. I'll be in Clewiston next week for 10 days fishing Okeechobee. Good to know about that place in Ft Myers because Ckewiston doesn't have much.
I want to upgrade to Lipo....but the cost is keeping me from pulling the trigger....one day I will. Thanks for the info.
@@residentdawgfishing5424 I went with Nexgen battery and a Dakota 18A charger 2 years ago. It's amazing how fast I can recharge. I'm still running a flooded battery for cranking. I have an older 21 ft bass boat that came with a 24v trolling motor. I added another battery at 60 pounds and Minn Kota Talon anchors at around 50# each. That extra weight made it very difficult to get on plane when I had a fishing buddy. Changing the battery solved that issue by removing 150# or so. I paid $950 for the battery 2 years ago. I went with the 40AH battery and have never run it down below 40% during a full day of fishing Okeechobee and I have never had any issues with my battery. We aso fish heavy river current on the Chattahoochee and it has been flawless. My buddy went with Ionic 50AH and he is having some issues with it charging fully.

Nice catches brother! Followed you from the BG MQ video! Picked up 3000/4000 myself! 😂 Hope to be fishing red fish later.. not sure where to start- coming from Charlotte.
Thank you for the support!! Really appreciate it.
Structure.....oysters, grass docks, mangroves....the more the better in area that has both shallow and deep water close. Summer fish shallow early and deeper later when it warms up....that is the basics
@@residentdawgfishing5424 Thanks for the quick response! Where abouts do you primarily fish? Subbed!
I am in SWFL, Mostly Pine Island Sound/Charlotte Harbor area
Just picked up a 3000 & 4000 from a local shop! Trying to decide what rods to pair them with. Already have 7’6” St Croix Triumph Inshore- this may go with 3000. Not sure about 4000. Can’t wait to get out and fish drums!
I like the TFO I paired mine with, The St Croix is a much higher end rod than the TFO.

Do you have to be in gear or neutral to drop the lower or does it matter?
I don't think it matters, the collar for he shift linkage moved up and down, so in neutral, it is easily accusable.
DUDE! You are a GENIUS! Thank you!
Thank you....glad it helped ya out
Ohh, I thought I wired mine up wrong. Glad i found the video, thanks bro
Glad it helped...I was going down the same rabbit hole of wiring.
Exactly what I was looking for! Many thanks for the tutorial, sir!
Awesome, Glad It helped!

Thanks....JL Marine has them listed for 240, but they were gracious enough to give me half off. Always heard they had great customer service.
@@residentdawgfishing5424 Known problem and they still pin the cost of issue on the customer?
@barrycelestine7809 normally 275, power pole has excellent customer service and sold me one for half price
Thank you brother. They have one coming in the mail this Thursday. I had the old style with the relay issue. Thanks to you, I’ll be all set!!!
From a Gheenoe Hillsider to world class fishing boat. Congratulations on you success!
Thank you
Excellent advise on this video! You MUST not make a mistake when you change your oil on a Pacifica! WHY does the manufacturer not want you to KNOW about every critical step in this procedure?!! The first oil change I had done on my 2020 Pacifica... even a professional shop did NOT KNOW how to place the filter housing gasket!!! If you don't pay attention, you could spend THOUSANDS of dollars on a new engine!!! czcams.com/video/euvnSPRxiRo/video.html
Wow..that is a VERY in depth video on the O-ring....excellent info for sure. I did not know that was an issue, but I guess if you aren't paying attention you could very easily mess up. Thanks!
Try adding a weighed small mesh clothing bag as well. It will give the shrimp something to grab onto instead of sitting at the bottom of the bucket.
thanks for the info. I will try it.
Great to see the 226 offshore, looks like a good time with family. I am looking to purchase one but torn between the bay boat and a deeper V. How does the boat handle in rough water and offshore? Would you want to take it offshore regularity in SW FL, or get a center console instead? Thank you, keep the videos coming. Scott.
It handles rough water well, but again that also comes down to the Captain. Deep V versus bay Boat, that decision comes down to the style of fishing you enjoy. If offshore bottom fishing or trolling is your game than a Deep V is the way to go, much more " capable" offshore. But if you like fishing inshore and occasionally going off shore that bay boat is the ticket. Going offshore in a single engine boat is always a risk, I make sure I stay within the towing range of my on water towing service insurance. I would take it offshore frequently with out batting an eye. IMO the Cayman 246 is the perfect boat for this area, still a single engine, but big/Heavy enough to handle running offshore like a deep v but still only drafts 12" for inshore. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the video. I'm planning a rewiring of a B60 and watching your vid for ideas. Go Dawgs!
Glad it could inspire.....Go Dawgs!
What bit did you use in your Dremel tool to burn through the glass like that? Clean install.
Dremel #561 muti-purpose cutting bit. I burned up one applying too much pressure but they do a good job when you don't have a skill saw. Thanks for the compliment.

What you paying for trailer storage mo?
$125.00
The real problem with Coyote trailers are the brake systems.
ain't that the truth and a constant struggle....when I figure out the solution, other than just removing them, you can bet I will share.
Does that drain plug have a gasket that needs to be replaced?
Most drain plugs do have a metal gasket, but I have never replaced them. I am sure there is a scheduled that out lines when a drain plug gasket need to be replaced, But I do not know it off hand.
brilliant -thank you
You're welcome!
I just realized that you don't keep fish so you spend all that money and time it bothers me to see so called fisherman not fulfilling the duties of a true fisherman
I do keep fish on occasion. I am not a chef by any stretch of the imagination. So not sure how a "catch and cook" would go....lol. I do LOVE a nice blackened snapper taco.....I will put that on the list of videos to film. Thanks
Do you keep fish, or not because if you keeping them need to show how you cooking them up
Did you remove the jack stand?
Absolutely.....if not the van would not have come off the ramps so easily...lol
Do you remember the bolts size?
sorry I do not.....Vance web site should have the size listed.
@@residentdawgfishing5424 Thx
So we bought a 2020 Pacifica and immediately had transmission problems I got to change the oil the drain plug is practically welded on there and can’t get it off no matter what I try. Took the old filter out and there’s no o ring on there and I open the new pack and no or ing in the new pack. What else can go wrong 😂. But any ideas on getting a stuck drain plug off? Thanks.
Please pardon my delay in responding, I hope you got the stuck plug sorted out. I am less than a shade tree mechanic if you know what I mean, just handy enough to do basic maintenance. If a long handle wrench dose no work, ,maybe an impact, beyond that, good old heat usually dose the trick, but on an oil pan....that would scare me.
I just put 5/20 valvoline synthetic in my pacifica and can't believe how quiet and smooth it runs. I live in so cal so i will never use a zero weight oil. Cold here is 40 degrees.
How do you like the Robalo?
I absolutely love the Robalo Cayman, don't know if I will ever switch, the fishability and also being family friendly is awesome. Add to that she floats in 12 inches being 22' is a huge plus as I fish alot of area that is very shallow. One day I will up grade to the 246, 24' bay boat that still drafts 12 inches....cant beat em in my eyes. My only complaint, if you can call it that is I wish I had the 250, not for top end speed but a better hole shot.
Sir love your enthusiasm, however posting actual physical locations will only ensure they are covered up with boats pressuring an already pressured fishery….plus adds zero value unless your a spot moocher….giving away stuff for free, people don’t respect it, let them earn their locations.
I do understand you point, however most of the "spots" I fish aren't any secret. I use to be a "spot" fisherman until I got to understand how tides, wind, water temps ect. affect where the fish will be. I have been back to spots where one day it was a slammer and the very next day NADA. If you don't know how to "read" the water spots will only get you so far and probably frustrated. I got a lot of help when I started, If I can help someone else get on the fish, well that is a bonus for me.
