    A simple thing like debarbing the treble hooks makes it easier on the fish and just a tiny bit lower hook up ratio. Good stuff ...

    • @FastEddy1959
      @FastEddy1959 Před 2 lety +14

      Nah. De-barbing trebles on a hard bait makes it way too easy for the lure to get thrown. Replace ‘em with in-line, single hooks about two sizes up. Hook-up ratio will be about the same but you’ll bring a lot more fish to the boat.

    I moved from Ohio last July. Just started fishing and DUDE, your videos are amazing! I’m catching fish in the canals around Naples and thanks to you, I know how to tie the best knot, buy the best rod and reel…soon I’ll buy a sweet kayak and hit the mangroves! Love you!

Inshore tournament fishing landed me in Central Georgia with a job that wouldn’t fire me when I took 10 weeks off per year to fish. The last time the economy crashed we had to kill the tournaments. Cool channel man, congratulations. You’ve covered some good ground and get it done. Watching is almost as good as being there again, emphasis on almost.

  • @jeffhenderson3318
    @jeffhenderson3318 Před rokem

    I got my start Snook fishing in the Everglades. It was nothing but top water mirr-o-lures. About 3 hours in, I caught my 20th mangrove and was pissed. So I yanked as hard as I could and luckily it came out… but at a million miles per hour. Next stop was the Marco Island Emergency Room to have 2 sets of treble hooks surgically removed.
    No one at the hospital gave me a 2nd glance. (Ordinary for them to see someone with a lure stuck to their face and neck…)
    2 hours later, a stop by Miami Subs and we were back on the water.
    So, I certainly understand why you don’t like treble hooks.
