    Hey man I'm 16 and I was wondering how you got into guiding. I'm extremely interested in becoming a guide. I love to fish in any weather any time and have a love for the sea. I would love to spread that to people. But I wouldn't be "that guy" that try's to tell you how to fish. I'd rather come down to the level there at in there angling experience and work with them, and help them with improve. After a long day I'd go fish. If you could please give me some tips or ways to become a guide.

    Nice video, but I also wanted to say thanks. A few months ago I did a youtube search for inshore lures and came across your top 5 video. We live near Atlanta and take the boat to PC Beach several times a year including this past week, and I can not tell you how many fish we have caught from your recommendations. We caught most of our trout on that mirrodyne with the yellow back you suggested. Weren't sure how it would work because this year the water was so different, almost like sweet tea, but we already had them tied on. I bet 75% of our trout came on that lure and color. Most of the rest were on a jig head with a gulp mullet and some of those behind a popping cork. Around the jetties we have caught blues, reds, ladyfish and my favorite eating fish mangrove snapper on a jig head with a gulp or a zman diezel minnow. We went a little ways offshore (like your situation in the video above storms everywhere) and I have no idea why the triggerfish have no season because we were catching 50-100 per day no exaggeration and big ones too. We were running through bait fast so I put on a gulp with the tail bit off and that worked too haha. While bottom fishing we also drifted a cigar minnow out back and caught spanish, bonita, remora and our biggest fish was a 46", 29 lb king. With all the spanish around I was wishing we had some glass minnows. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for all the ideas and suggestions because they have worked for us.

    Very cool! I enjoy these charter videos. Just a lot of fun watching people catch fish and have a good time. Going to have to try some of those yo-zuri's. I wonder if you have experimented with the vmc inline single hooks on your lures. I know those treble hooks foul hook a lot of fish that the single hooks might miss but it still might be worth trying.
