  • In this video I will show you how to drift backwards in a pontoon boat while keeping your lines strait. You'll also see that I encounter some pretty rough weather. I hope you enjoy the video

    Well kind Sir, Another well done vid. I'm living in the New Orleans area now on the north shore after moving back to the South. These shows you make sure make me home sick, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for the last 40 years, I find it funny how things change because I fished in the pacific ocean for Salmon and Bottom fish What we called (Rock Fish) Lingcod Blacks , Blues, Halibut ,etc. and Striped Bass.
    I have 2 boats, one 23 ft. Cuddy for the big water and a smaller 17 foot for the fresh water, and would change between them if I fishing by myself or taking family sight seeing. The Ocean out on the northern California coast always had rollers from 3-8 ft with waves on them 2-5 ft. Any larger and I stayed home, had to have a Deep Vee hull. I have been stuck on that lake in a bass boat with white caps as far as you could see and a very perilous trip back to the landing. I don't have the deck space as you but good enough for the misses and I.
    I can't wait for the next time I come to The Creek to visit the Wifes' family , maybe she will let drag a boat up there with us.
    Keep up the good work and a lot more video's to watch, Thanks and stay safe Michael

    Great video. I hate fishing in the wind. When I'm moving with the waves I try to keep the same speed as the wave and ride it like a surf board. It's a little slower, but it avoids burying the nose into a wave. Stay safe my friend

    Had been wondering about drift socks and how they worked.. so I really enjoyed this video.. I even watched the ads in their entirety (after learning the importance of that from Luke at this years cat con ;) ) On the first catch I was thinking how nice that cat left your hook all baited up and everything... bout that time he shook around and tossed that blue chicken back in the water lolol..

    Are you fishing in Lake Moultrie? Also, I tried the jello chicken this past weekend that I seen from your previous video and it worked great. I tried the starburst candy flavored jello in various flavors and it out did everything else we fished with. I live in Sumter County and glad I found your channel. Very informational video pertaining to the drift nets.
