This channel is all about anything to do with fishing. I love all types of fishing and plan to bring you videos about all my experiences as I learn all I can about it. I live close to the coast so I do both fresh and salt water fishing. I have great love for both of them! Please take time to watch and hopefully we can learn something together!

zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed měsícem
In this video I share my initial experience with the Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor. I am not sponsored by anybody, and this is as real world of a review as you can get. The Garmin support team is amazing, but their product needs some work. I explain it all in the video. To book a charter with me or to see my recommended gear visit: southernreels.com
I Built a Mobile Chicken Mansion!
zhlédnutí 608Před měsícem
In this video I give you all a tour of the Mobile Chicken Coop that I designed and built for our family. This was a very fun project and it has been working well over the past 1 1/2 years. It can be moved very easily and is really easy to clean. We have some very spoiled chickens! Full plans for this build are available in my shop on Etsy.

This Massive Fish Was a Complete Surprise!
Great video Jesse . Love the Chesapeake Bay . Do you ever do any wreck fishing , we’ve caught some really nice Tautogs and Blackbass on wrecks . Been a while since I’ve been though .
What power trim do you recommend for 2015 df 300 without having to replace power adapter?
Thanks! This is super helpful!
So glad to see you in a kayak! How do you like that ugly stick carbon? I cannot feel bites on a regular ugly stick. Is the Carbon one a lot more sensitive?
man , I go in the sound all the time , but never do I go there. Way to bad for me. You guys got some balls to be doing that , had one guy about 7 years ago , went spear fishing on them , we saw him in the morning heading out , never saw him again , no body found him , just found his kayak tied to the pylons on the old bridge , never ever found the body. The way that water moves up and down in the column , if you fall out , almost might as well call it your ass , very dangerous place in a kayak. One guy on the bridge one day said he saw a 6 foot tarpon being eaten whole by a 18 foot great white. Its just a crazy place , good luck , stay safe.
What about mussels?
New to tog. Thank you
Thank you for your help it really helps me
Have you sold it yet? I may be intrested, obviously only if the warranty transfers. Im in VB. What shaft length is it?
NC fisheries has become so corrupt
I have the same complaint about the lengthy delay with turning my Kraken. Called Garmin twice and was told they filed the complaint but it would take a large number of the same complaint before the engineers would consider it valid. I use mine primarily for bowfishing on the snake river and the delay has taken some serious adjustment on my part to keep my boat and other anglers safe. It has me seriously considering going back to a Minn Kota after dropping big bucks on the latest and greatest. Really hope they take the complaint seriously and can fix it with a software update
How you like that Carbon? Love the feel of it but I done ran through 2 of them rods so far tryin to flip em into the kayak
Love your fish “stringer”! Where can I find one of those?
Look at Diver Direct , spear fish stringer , I liked it too !
THANK YOU for making this video! It helped us! 👍🏻😎
Coming from Minn Kota I have the same concerns. I also bought a Helix 15 because Garmin 8612 side imaging is as good
It was nice to meet you at the lynnhaven boat launch a few weeks ago I ended up limiting on sheep’s that day!
That’s where I saw him myself last season. Gave me some tips on flounder and what a difference it makes when you get expert advice!
How well does it work in deeper salt water? we are fishing the Sea of cortez for big grouper and are often at 200 feet or more. Would like to know before investing the $
Awesome Love watching your sheepshead fishing. !!!! Glad to see a vid!!!!!!!
Looks like fun.
Yah miss old bridge climbing down cat walk would jump in and spear some massive sheep’s 10lb usually only got 1hr window to spear fish them were the days and would use fishing pole catch a lot when vis was bad
What’s the point your throwing them back
Glad to see you back Jesse 😊
Manns Harbor bridge was dead last week. Weather didn't help either.
It was dead when I tried 3 weeks ago usually get a good bite there this time of year
I used to fish the old bridge a lot as a kid. The best time to catch them was usually a slack high tide. We'd scrap the pylons and use fiddlers. We once saved a young Chinese guy that fell off the bridge fishing and was being pulled out of the inlet by the current. He was cut all to pieces from the barnacles on the bridge.
Wow! Thank God you were there!
Awesome
why is there tape on your kayak
Great trip and video!
Thanks Jesse. Always love your videos!!!
At least you got 3 weeks out of it - My Minnkota arrived with ground up brushes and damaged stator. Minnkota wanted me to drive 200 miles to drop it off at an authorized service dealer for warranty work. Told them they were out of their minds and fixed it myself for half the cost of just the gas. My next one will be a Garmin...
Thanks for sharing this and being brutally honest. I'm planning to get the Minn Kota Instinct Quest pretty soon. Are you pretty happy with your batteries. I think I'm going to get the same one you got.
I love my Kraken!!!
cool build!
I watched this video the night before I went out last weekend. There was a NE wind so I decided to go out of the north end like you said in the video. Unfortunately I didn't watch the ENTIRE video where you talk about how severe the flow can be under the high rise bridge. I went out with a coefficient of 66 and the pull under that high rise almost took me out to the ocean. I have a bow mount Motorola xi3 55lb AND a stern mount Bixpy. I noticed about 100 yards away that I was in a VERY bad situation but it was too late and it was pulling me in. After the ROARING RIVER sucked me under the bridge I put both motors to full speed and I was going 1/4 mph, per my Garmin! It took me a little over 1 hour to get to the bridge from Kiptopeke and 4 hours to get back. I'll never go to that side of the bridge again! Almost catastrophic!!
I’d use bolts with lock nuts underneath I think.
Sorry to hear it
Bridge pilings mean bridge overhead. Maybe it is trying to access satellites that get shadowed when it gets moved off by the current. Satellite locking takes a long time. Find some stationary object without any overhead obstructions, see what happens. My Motor Guide Xi5 and Xi3 both have dual GPS sensors, one in the head and one in the base. All testing shows that combo works best for Anchor or Spot Lock mode. The Kraken only has one dual channel GPS sensor.
I just ran my kraken for the first time today. At the beginning jogging was HORRIBLE. When I pressed forward, the boat went backwards. It turned out I didn’t set the bow offset correctly. After setting it, jogging worked much better.
The left-right jogging seems a bit slow to respond when compared to my old MotorGuide Xi5. It will get there eventually, though. I fish on open water so it wasn’t too big of a deal for me. Maybe they designed it that way to avoid moving the bow too much. On my Xi5 going left/right had the tendency of pointing the bow to that direction as well.
When you press the left/right button, it reacts immediately, but each click turns it by a whopping ONE degree. It's only after you hold down the button for a second then it will turn faster. This is a common complaint by Kraken users.
It's stupid really that it's designed that way. It makes manual steering of it very unresponsive and frustrating especially when you need it to turn quickly
My xi5 does the same in jog mode with remote. Very slow reaction. When you jog using the lowrance display it’s an immediate response. I’m just use to it. If I want to move quickly, I hit it multiple times if a safety issue.
Always take a multi meter on the boat so its easier to figure out the power supply.
I will definitely have one from now on
Join the Garmin Kraken Trolling Motor FB group and post this video there. This will help reach more Kraken owners. These same issues are discussed in that group.
I joined the group and it seems like they don't want to hear it LOL. Probably a bunch of first time trolling motor owners that don't move the difference
Thanks for the info keep us informed on the new unit.
Thanks Jessy , yep I'm on the fence about to pull the lever on the Minnesota Riptide Instinct Quest saltwater. Just wondering if any other folks out there have had any issues with it.
I think I've decided to sell this one and go back to Minn Kota. I don't have time to wait for Garmin to figure this out
@@SouthernReelsFishing Thanks honestly, I was kind of leaning towards the Minn kota anyway as I do like the Garmin 8612 but I also have hummingbirds and that should work fine with the Minn kota especially when it will tell me how much power is left in the lithium battery.
@@SouthernReelsFishing looking at getting a new boat and motor to go on it. Have a Terrova on my Skiff but going to a larger boat. What Minn Kota are you looking at going back to? Another Terrova or some other MK product? Thanks brother and enjoy the channel!
JESSE WHAT UP BROTHA ITS MARSHALL YOU STILL GETTIN THOSE TANKS DOWN THERE THE REDS WE KILLED UM BROTHA TIGHT LINES MY FRIEND........SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MOTOR
Hey buddy good to hear from you, yes we still getting them
Nice
Minn Kota quest. Series more power quiet and brushless. dual spot lock.
I think I'm headed back in that direction to be honest
I bought a Xi5 in 2020. The control board went out after 4 months. MG wanted me to take it into a service center and have them diagnose it. They would not send me a CB or a new unit. So I bought a CB out of pocket so I would not be out 6 months waiting for service. So far the CB has worked for the last 4 years. Best of luck to you!
that's awesome! thanks for sharing!
I don’t know how you do it by yourself . Didn’t need to go to the gym that evening .
Never caught a big red before in my life. WS flounder fishin up here in Cherrystone reef early evening . Bam hour and a half latter landed a 42 inch red . Had light tackle so had t really handle him gently and wear him down. Gave him a proper release I pray he made it. Like you said a fish if a lifetime. Indeed.
That parm recipe is a keeper will try. Also slaw looks good . Ty.
That's a Cadillac of a chicken coop for sure! I hear eggs and fish pair well together. 😋
