  • I know the Redfish bite is getting cranked when the critters start chewing on top water lures!! Water temps are inching towards 80 degrees and I'm moving more fish in the back country!! Running a lot of skinny water in the Mangrove Jungles here on the Nature Coast.....So hop on board the Redfishing is starting to get cranked in the back country on the Florida Nature Coast!!

      Thanks Randy!! When the water temp start pushing the upper 70's the critters are ready to chow down.... Just mounted a new 25 4 stroke electric start on the skinny boat.....Just waiting for the weather!!

    Sweet, ripping the Refuge! Wow, water temps are sweet! Back in the snow here, collecting sap buckets. I love using soft paddle tails here for walleye, and lakers. Pretty tails, dig the one spotter! Love to rip through the refuge like that, looks like so much fun.

    • @WesLovelace
      @WesLovelace  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks!! When I've got high tides I can run anywhere up there and the tighter the Mangroves the more I enjoy trying to navigate this area plus you rarely see anybody in the jungle.....It's a unique area that I get to play in.....Enjoy your weekend!!

    Sometimes ya gotta throw the tacklebox at em but it only makes the bite that much sweeter.
    Always get a kick outta the juvie reds and their jumbo tails. Like a 11 year old boy wearing size 11 shoes

      Thanks Marc!! This time of year I have to remind the critter that I've got several delights on the menu.....I certainly don't want my friends missing out on a Treble Hook dinner.....LOL!! I like to call the spot tails Broom Tails.....Lots of power in the fin!!

      @WesLovelace  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks J!! I was just playing around in the Mangroves....This place grows up so fast if I didn't run all of this area from time to time I'd forget all those shallow water and narrow channels!! I can run the back country about 2 miles north of the house and then literally run for 25 miles without getting out into the bays and the Gulf but to do this I have to have a 3.2+ tide!! Just spent the week repowering the tunnel with a new 4 stroke Yamaha 25 hp.....Hoping the weather lays down here by next week....Sea Ya!!
