What's up! My name's Eric. I'm a transplanted New Jerseyan enjoying some fun in the sun in South Florida. While I love fishing, I've developed a passion for helping people catch some of the bucket list species I'm fortunate enough to have in my backyard. The water brings tranquility, rehabilitation, peace, and happiness to me, and I enjoy sharing it with others. Teaching people how to improve their angling skills, sharing my knowledge of fishing, and seeing the joy and excitement of people becoming more successful on the water is extremely rewarding for me as a full time fishing guide.
While I do enjoy wetting a line, you'll also find me getting my hands dirty and wrenching on my boat, and vehicle. I can also be spotted in the kitchen whipping up some tasty meals, cuz I love to eat! I also love to explore, and enjoy destination Planet Earth. I share all these things on my channel, and I'm appreciative of everyone who joins me.

Fishing Rod Engineers Hate This One Simple Trick! Snakehead Fishing Charter
Snakehead fishing charters are one of my favorites. It takes a very skilled angler to properly target these sneaky fish over the course of a 6 or 8 our fishing trip. It is some of the hardest fishing you'll ever do in freshwater. It's a lot of accurate casting, and covering lots of water very quickly. Then, when you finally do get a bite, you have to set the hook HARD! These fish have a boney head and the hooks have to punch through their skull. If you want to be successful on your first guided trip for snakeheads, it's best to stick with the gear the fishing guide provides for you. You'll want to be proficient at casting a baitcaster. Spinning tackle will work, but it doesn't provide the...

Book a guided fishing trip with me www.flobass.com Night fishing for snook and tarpon on the dock lights has been super fun! Especially since you can accomplish this on light tackle. Sure I wish the fish were bigger, but any time you can sight fish and see the entire eat unfold before your eyes, it cannot be beat. The skiff is the perfect boat to run around from light to light. Lots of snook an...

Book a guided fishing trip with me www.flobass.com Took the skiff down to Miami to search for giant tarpon filling up on the chicken of the sea. That's shrimp if you didn't know... We had some live crabs in the well just in case, but it turns out throwing around the zman mulletron was the key to finding more bites. We could cover water more easily and hooking up on the mulletron was great! The ...
Power Pole Move Trolling Motor Full Review - A Reel Guy's Experience
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.Месяц назад
In the beginning of 2024 I was forced to replace my minn kota riptide trolling motor. I had obviously seen the many endorsed videos of the Power Pole move trolling motor, but was reluctant to buy one considering there weren't any review videos out there from real guys that aren't endorsed. Power Pole is known for their incredible customer service and high quality products such as their shallow ...
Unboxing Turtlebox LIMITED EDITION Color River Rock Gen 2 Portable Speaker

Checking out the new limited edition color River Rock that Turtle Box released. This is my first turtlebox speaker so I cannot compare it to the gen 1 speaker. I'm really impressed with the gen 2 speaker. For an all in one portable speaker, it packs a punch! The mid levels leave a little to be desired, but I was able to bring them out a bit better with some equalization in my music app. I wante...

I've been searching for that double digit monster snakehead for a long time! I only managed to catch one over 10 pounds back in 2014. I've come close a few times, but I have not been able to beat my personal best in so long! Fishing for these monsters can be really difficult!

Fly Fishing Charter For Peacock Bass

Fly fishing trips are my favorite trips to run with my clients. As a fly fishing guide, its so rewarding to guide my fly anglers onto their bucket list fish here in Florida. These were the first two trips with my new Redington fly rods and reels. I think Redington makes some of the best bang for your buck fly fishing equipment, hands down. They offer a lot of value to fly anglers and you get so...

Secret Way To Rig NLBN Lil Mullet To Land More Fish!
Просмотров 6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
I've been rigging the NLBN lil mullets like this for some time now when I hit the docks at night for some tarpon action. It takes a little more time to rig the baits this way, but the end results are worth the extra effort. I've had way less tarpon throw the hook this way. Obviously it works for snook as well. I think the big takeaway from this is how much longer the baits last. NLBN isn't exac...
Training To Fight Fires At Sea

Practical shipboard fire fighting training with Resolve Academy in Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In this drill, we simulated a shipboard fire inside a hold of a container ship. We got to see first hand the thermal barrier, and smoke accumulation on the ceiling which is unburnt fuel that could ignite, causing a backdraft. The hose bursts are 3 to 5 seconds to limit the amount of wate...

Wrapping up the third and final day with my French anglers, Greg and Tangee. During our first two trips we didn't really come across a lot of largies, and knowing that they both love to fish for lmb's back home, I decided to take them to one of the prettiest places in South Florida where you can potentially boat well over a hundred largemouth in a day. We didn't quite reach that number, but und...

Another great fishing charter out in the everglades. Day number 2 with my french fishermen Greg and Tangee was a blast. It was super hot, but we caught a ton of fish out there.

Fishing is an international language. If you like tight lines and bending rods, we're automatically family. The same held true for my two French clients. They hail from the southern region of France where the giant Wels catfish lurk in the lakes and rivers. You may have seen the videos with Silure in the title. Well, that would be French for catfish. I brushed up on some French before they land...

PB Smallmouth In The Spillway! TOPWATER
Haters gonna hate, they tow with smaller cars in the uk all the time. They’ll say it’s cause our roads are faster but in reality it’s to discourage people from towing with a more economical package then spending 60k on a truck to tow a 12 ft John boat…
Where do you launch from here
Awesome underwater footage 🔥🔥
Perfect video! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video. Extra Tips: Water Pump: You can get the whole Water Pump Repair Kit for $35, same cost as impeller only. On reassembly, lightly grease the impeller and rotate the crankshaft while pressing the housing down, it will go on like butter with vanes in correct direction. Replace the lower unit drain & fill plug washers every time, only an extra $5. Not worth risking getting water in your lower unit. Put anti sieze on the lower unit bolts! They are the most likely bolts to corrode on any motor. My spark plug torque is 12.5 FT - LB. Put a block of wood between the prop and cav plate to get the prop nut off. DO NOT RUN YOUR MOTOR WITH THE GARDEN HOSE CONNECTION. THE MOTOR WILL NOT COOL. Read your service manual!!
Love those snakehead 😍😍
🎉🎉
What are the specs on the boat? Manufacturer, type width, length? Trans hight? Side height? Gage material? Thanks I’m looking to down size.
I bought mine 4 months ago...from start it have some aditional noise from engine,and vibrate like hell...off course strougle and fight with official service for a while.But at the end of the season a will return them to check every single thing.
Is it good for sea water fishing?
What weight do you use for that Anchor Wizard you installed?
Excellent review
I keep getting monster Cichlids taking my Snakehead bite. Do you have this problem? I can always go bigger, but they’re eating 4/0 EWG hooks, frogs, and even hitting the poppers. Any tips on how to target the snakehead and leave the cichlids behind?
You should have used the middle handle holes. Unless there are two of you, it will never be used anyway.
Is that a 1448 you got because I got a 1448 with a 20 horse Suzuki and I wanted to upgrade to the 25 I don't know if it's a too much heavier or if it's a good fit or not.. I mean do you think you would be a good match for a 1448??? We have the opposite I have the electric start but not the power trim and if you practice chewed up that will cause vibration as well
My brother had an old Main V hull fishing boat with the wooden ribs. That was about 14 foot. He had if I remember correctly, a 25hp Evinrude outboard motor on it. Man you wanna talk about FAST AS HELL AND NIMBLE 😗🎵🎶 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers !!
"I sound like Kamala Harris" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent review. You covered everything I wanted to know and several things that I wouldn’t have even thought to ask. Thank you!
Thanks for this awesome video. Can you please make a video on comparison between Long and Short shaft model of Yamaha 25hp four stroke ?
I replaced old carb 25 with new efi one.still waiting for mounting.hope its not weaker,it is a lot lighter 20 kg
Excellent review! I am seeking a trolling motor for a 30' Grady White and your video really helps. I hope Power Pole has a shaft length, that will work for me! I'll look into what they offer, due to your review. Venice,FL
What? you have to unlock a padlock to use it?? i always put em on locked. Also with a pad lock like this and the plastic thumb screws i dont need tools because i only need to bend it upward and the plastic will snap. Oh you could also use a blow torch so.... NO PADLOCK!
A padlock is no good. A thiefe gos to home depo and buy a hack saw the pad lock is hard the thumb screws are not so i start at the thinnest part of the thumb screw 15 minutes and your motor is gone. Thumb screws are maybe 20 dollars for a set so if i want to sell the motor i put a few dollars extra on the price.
Whats your overall opinion on the turtlebox? Any issues with sound or battery life so far?
How long, wide and high is your boat?
yamaha are durable engines but unfortunately on the smaller ones like 20 hp and 25 hp they only have two cylinders and vibrate quite a lot. Since you don't have power trim, it also becomes very heavily steered when you pull as you can't adjust the engine up and you have to struggle to keep the tilt all the time as it pulls on the engine. Replaced my yamaha with a new Mercury 30 hp and what a difference in engine. It runs so incredibly smoothly as it has three cylinders and the tiller has so many adjustments and you have the power trim original and what a low draft in that engine and very easy to control at all revs and you don't have to wrestle with the tiller at higher speeds. But above all no vibrations, it is very irritating as it vibrates constantly in the Yamaha.
Best service video I have seen! Fantastic job sir. Thank you.
Wow you americans sure have an issue with sticks. Its so easy. Nice vid.
How has this held up?? I love the vertical 1x3 idea vs entirely 2x4. Gotta be huge weight savings. And having a removable deck is the way to go IMO! After all this time how has the deck held up?
How many cans of paint and clear coat. Thanks
Can you use the anchor and anchor holder in the back of the kayak?
Love mine
You did a great job....But...All the supplies cost around 375.00 . It took a day and a half to do. You said if someone else does the work it is 500.00 . I will spend the extra 125.00
😂😂
Have you tried the Rustoleumn Turbo cans? The wider nozzle is nice. The volume coming out is pretty aggressive though
Wow! Awesome video thanks
Lifes too short.
It looked like the motor wasn't peeing at the final test.
I have been fishing for most of my life but now, at 57, I am learning how to fish. LOL! Not sure if they have made any changes to this in the 6 years since you posted this but I received mine on Saturday along with their Viper X 2000 spinning reel plus a 150 yard spool of 20lbs Power Pro V2. I gave up on those bushing right out of the gate. Since I have never spooled a reel before, this was a dream. Now I just need to get to some water.
S-o-o-o glad I watched this vid. Was already thinking $40-50,000 for a truk when my Nissan Rogue, rated for 1500 lbs. will do the job. Thanx Eric, very thorough vid. I am now a subscriber!
Footage looks good but would look better if I was catching a poon on the boat...
If you're referring to the footage in this video you're commenting on, ABSOLUTELY NO.
Well lets do some dock lights in Jupiter one night when you get back. I'll drag the boat up there.
Sorry I didn't look what video the comment was on. I thought it was one of my videos...
@@JupiterGeorgeFishing your a wanker mate, at least I asked.
@@FloBass flobass get your head out of your arse
Rare to see these kinds of videos with such clarity. New genre emerging perhaps?
It's pretty clear in low-light conditions, cool vid
First! Lowlight looks pretty good on the camera.
Not while they're in whatever container that is
Awesome video brother, monster tarpon!!!! Congrats.
Wow Looks so niceeeee, btw, how many amps does it take to charge a cell phone? Charging cell phones is a major need that I am considering.
Can you listen at max volume for a while without harming speaker?
do you do fly casting lessons?
Great video. Just replaced my motor that needs restoration. Gonna follow this process.
