My 9 year old son turned me on to your videos and I must say they have become my favorite. I am loving the time and attention you put into keeping our Tampa waters and shores as beautiful as they can be. I took my yak out last night after watching your stuff for about 2hours I had no choice. The top water snook bite was crazy under the 41 bridge over the alafia once the late night incoming tide started moving.

I'm so impressed with your content. You gave all us subscribers an incredible tour of the Mangroves. I've been to Clearwater Beach at least 20 times. I've seen some paths from Google Maps always wondered if they were passable. It took a lot of guts & crazy to go deep into the Mangroves alone, but your good kind of craziness for adventure is why I watch your channel. Keep it coming.

Marty, great video. The mangroves are such a unique eco-system. The estuary is totally alive. We need to be careful that it doesn't get destroyed. I too fish this area, and absolutely love fishing the east bay. I just recently got a yak, and follow your channel. Learning every day. Thanks for teaching me(us) and bringing out some creative genius in all of us as we mod our yaks!

Another great adventure, thanks for sharing. This past winter was my first time out with a kayak and after a few weeks I was doing a little of this same type of exploring on the east coast of Florida in the Mosquito Lagoon. Never thought much about the alligator and snake issue but now after reading some of the comments I'll definitely keep it in mind. I have no love for them and would not appreciate sharing my kayak with them.

Great video. Makes me want to get another kayak. Sold mine a few years back after it became difficult for me to load the 18' Seda. I have been in some tight places with my kayak before and once got stuck under a bridge when I first got the Seda. Had to back out and portage around. Thanks for posting and keep them coming. Will help me get through the winter.

hey Marty, Dylan is a great inspiration for anyone that makes videos. Did you watch the one where he went crabbing with the youngster rowing a boat. Dylan is an amazing videographer and story teller, but has an unusual style of interviewing people. He said in the beginning the boy was going to take him out on his boat crabbing, and I wondered to myself if the boy would be bringing Dylan back. The video is funny as it ends at an odd moment and I was left wondering if he did get marooned after all. Still, he is leaving a wonderful video legacy for the people of his country. Years from now they will see what they used to have. and be glad Dylan recorded it for them.
