What this video covers

Matt and his friend Joseph fish for tarpon, black drum, and snapper in Florida coastal waters. They use a cast net to catch bait, including pinfish and mullet, before targeting tarpon by free-lining live bait with circle hooks.3:12 The crew encounters poor water clarity due to recent heavy rains and struggles to identify legal-sized catches, ultimately releasing a black drum because they lack a measuring tool to confirm it falls within the required slot limit.17:19 They attempt to sight-fish for flounder and sheepshead in clearer water after dark but face persistent rain and murky conditions.17:39 The outing highlights the importance of using the Fish Rules app to verify current state regulations and size limits before keeping any catch.16:50
