- Back on the Salt with a friend Clay and we did the full tour of the Southern part of the Chassahowitzka National Refuge. We managed Speckled Trout, Redfish and Leapin' Ladies while seeing several pods of Dolphin and several Manateez plus we did not see or hear another boat.....That's Solitude!!
Beautiful place and great day for fishing, very nice video👍❤
Harshas Recipe.....Thanks!! You can't beat a perfect day in the Refuge when every place produces fish.....Have a great weekend!!
Looks like a good time fishing out on the refuge with your friend Clay. I enjoyed in full to the end. Thank you, my friend.
Thanks Dave!! Clay is new to this part of the Refuge.....We caught a few different species for a slam and had a great time!!
The fishing spot is very large, there are a lot of fish here 🐠 wish you all good luck and have a nice evening
Thanks!! There's a lot of room to cover when looking for fish in the Refuge here on the Florida Gulf Coast.....Enjoy your week!!
Ahh... Solitude! Good fishing and you had it all to yourself. It doesn't get much better.
Thanks Rande!! For the most part I only run offshore or the skinny water on the weekdays and then I pretty much pick my days......Weekends are a Zoo and while modern electrics have been a boom to offshore fishing GPS is an absolute bust in the back country plus all of my videos all have a lot of miss direction built in....I try not to give specific locations and land based points of recognition.....Over half my life has been cultivating and identifying specific places that produce the results I have .....You show people where you go and you can kiss it good bye.....Have a great week!!
Great day. Awesome weather, good fishing and a nice race against dolphins.
Thanks Dug!! I'm hoping this weather will stabilize and put more water out here.....Gotta have decent tides to move around out here!!
You guys had a nice day out there snaggin a few and the dolphins were running too! Cool video Wes and a Manatee!
Thanks Rob!! These dayz with this rotten weather anything that wants to chew on plastic suits me.....I like playing with the swamp critters but I really like a screamin' drag even better....LOL....Sea Ya!!
The fish were cooperating and so was the weather. Solitude along with the dolphins and manatees, you couldn't ask for better! Nice video, Wes!
Thanks Henri!! Just weird unusual weather this year but when I get an opening I take advantage of it because I'm like a fish out of water.....Hell I don't know what to do.....LOL.....Have a great week!!
Looks like you had a great day my friend
Thanks John!! I'm right back where I belong....Runnin' and Gunnin' in the skinny water.....Have a great weekend!!
I'm jealous. I need to make it there one day..
Thanks Victor!! The offer still stands....You find your way down here and I'll put you on some critters but if you want video of the catches you will need some heavier tackle and at least 10 lb. braid or mono and 30 lb. leader ....These toothy critters don't take prisoners.....LOL!!
You had me! I was for sure this was gon be a dolphin catch clean n cook.
Anchor rope, 15/0 circle and one of those 20” leapers then hand-line one of those bad boys in over the rail. Wes Lovelace would go viral - and I bet FWC would help 😉
Thanks Marc!! I'm fine with flipper unless they were to decide to steal one of my regulars ....After all this time in the Refuge I know most of my catches by name.....LOL!!
A really nice day, nice weather and some nice fish.
Thanks J!! Seems like I really have to cover a lot of territory to find the bite.....It's just nice to put together several days on the salt!!
A good time was had by all.
Thanks Martin!! It's nice to occasionally have someone else on board and run them around this place....At somewhere in the area of 150 sq. miles this place is one of a kind and the best part it's in my back yard.....Catch you on the flip!!
Nice to see you back on the water! Would love to meet up once and share a day!
Thanks Lee!! This has been a terrible weather year plus no water and I refuse to run up the Mud or the Weeki or even the the Chazz!! Well you've seen how I fish so when this weather becomes consistent and you can go during the week we'll give it a try!!
@@WesLovelace I’m a patient man, especially when offered a fishing privilege with you.
Well at least the dolphins kept you company! You put your guest into som good action on the trout and lady fish looked like some beautiful weather! Nice job with. The video 😊
Thanks Ron!! There are lots of spots and not just on the Redfish and Speckled Trout....I can spend a week up there and never repeat the same location this area is so large!!
I would love to fish there with you , I use my bare hand too . And it look warm enough .
Thanks Nicolas!! It's a lot warmer than Scotland and when you stick a 4X Treble in your hand you'll change your mind about the trip to the hospital or me yankin' that hook from your hand.....Boga's and a set of of pliers are a lot better than the pain and dripping blood......LOL!!
fantastic video of the dolphin and catching some nice trout!
Thanks!! I seem to run across a lot of Flippers in the skinny water and the back country is starting to produce going into the spring!!
nice day fishing wes .well all days fishing is a good day
DMP Thanks!! Give me plenty of water and I'll run rings around the Refuge.....I may not catch too many critters but I sure enjoy the wild scenery!!
Looked like a fun time out there Wes You guys were getting a lot of action . How’s the weather been over there? These past two weeks have been absolutely gorgeous here in Gainesville . Hope we get another month of Temps just like this . Have a great weekend !
Love seeing the manatees !!
Thanks Ryan!! It's been a struggle to get out because of the low water.....Right now I'm on my 4th straight trip to the Refuge from late in the PM till dark.....I'm the only boat back there.....My kind of trip on the salt.....Have a great weekend!!
Goodonya fellas!
Thanks Nathan!! When you've got about 150 sq. miles of skinny water and 100's of spots I never run out of spots to choose from!!
Amazing fishing and nature, as always? My be finding myself visiting Sarasota in the summer/fall. Are you close enough to that area to offer tips?
Thanks!! I worked all over this state and parts of south Georgia so I'm very familiar....I've got friends in Sarasota....Just let me know what you're looking for.....We may be able to put a fishing trip together up here in Bayport!!
Can I just take one to bake?
GH Thanks!! Typically I catch and release the shallow water species but keep the offshore species that are in season here on the Florida Gulf Coast.....I really don't like to freezze fish and I can't possibly eat all the fish I catch thus back in the creeks they go!!
Looks like you did cover a lot or water to get some decent fish. Those dolphins went way too shallow.
Thanks Yuri!! I'm really moving a lot back there because the bite has been Reel difficult during the few times I'm able to get on the salt!!
