Great video man. I also have a yellow lab that is off the chain. I would love for him to fish with me more often but he’s just more than a handful! Kudos for you for keeping your cool with Otis on the boat! Love the video!

I think Otis would love you if you installed Seadeck on your boat. He's a trip, fun to watch

[jelly_fishing]

Love seeing Otis going wild on the fish !!!!

You caught a big dogfish! Love the videos!

Its good to see Otis back in action... lol. He gets way more excited than you do Luke whenever you hook into a fish.

Great vid Luke! Hug Otis for me, will ya? Tip, maybe some outdoor/artificial carpet/turf strips would help Otis stay in & help you get him back in. Also, a quit file down of Otis’ nails would help you both. (best/faster with a quiet battery-powered rotary tool) Tight-lines!

Otis is a great 🐕. You guys are a perfect fit for sure. I would have my dog wear a life preserver with a handle lol so whenever it happens, I’m sure to get a handle on things lol

I'm from Sarasota. We call that place Palmaghetto in Bradentucky 🤣😆.
The mouth of the Manatee River can be very good for flounder, reds and trout.

A friend complained about how his dog made it tough to fish. He'd run around, mess up the lines, dump the bait, knock over the tackle box, shake water all over. Someone asked why don't you leave your dog home. He responded I can't leave my dog home. It wouldn't be any fun without him.

I don’t have a trolling motor yet. I am interested in your setup, number of batteries etc. I have a 20 foot tunnel fiberglass boat that is has an 8’ beam. I’m wondering what sort of setup my boat would need. Fishing in the bay by South Padre Island, Texas. Lots of flats and some mangrove tree areas. Currently doing drift fishing and since joining the Insider Club 2 weeks ago I’m seeing that a trolling motor helps in getting to the desired “spots.”

Is there still a live chat on Thursdays for members?

Otis gets as excited as I do when the bite is hot ! Does the paddletails work at night time ? I seem to not have much success at night with artificial . Thanks in advance

Dogs are for hunting, not fishing. Maybe good company, but troublesome.

[jakefromstatefarm]

That dog is gonna hook itself and/or push you overboard one day. Not sure how you stay so calm with it acting like that.

Being from Texas I notice that Florida guys seem to be all about the SLAM. Could a Florida sportsman explain to me what is so fascinating about catching three different species that all play in the same yard? I've seen these guys say it's a trout, then it's a snook, then they say it's a red fish then it's a snook, so looks like to me these guys don't have a clue half the time what's in a feeding area, all they know for sure is it's one of three! LMFAO

He faked his “accident” The only breed that come from seals not from wolves, just look at them from behind while in sit
