Creek Hopping at Low Tide & Power Pole Micro Anchor Mods on SUP Customs Hybrids!
What I cover in this video
- Creek mouth after creek mouth at a lower tide — Austin caught about 10 redfish down this one.
- It goes from two inches of water and drops into an eight foot hole. He'd pull four out, then ease over a sand bar to the next one.
- I'll use the eight-footer spike for bridges and deep channels. I grabbed a snook and two reds out of one.
- Back at a creek mouth you don't need eight feet. Cut one down to a four-footer so it's not making noise or getting in your casting.
- I store the poles and my paddle in two YakAttack paddle holders and strap them down while I'm motoring.

Everyone, David — What's SUP Customs. Just finished a phenomenal day on the water getting some content. Had a friend come in from Sarasota. We're on the Florida Nature Coast, and I'm doing a another YouTube video explaining things on the board, but also explaining what we do. So this is a creek mouth, this is a creek mouth, that's a creek mou. And we've just been going back here at a lower tide. You can see sometimes we had to really pull up our trolling motors to, to get over some spots. But Austin caught about 10 red fish down this one, and it
would go from nothing, about two inches of water, to drop 8ft hole, would drop into an 8ft hole. He'd pull out four, and then he'd, you know, scare the rest off. He'd go over a sand bar, kind of ease around it, another hole coming up, boom, yank out a couple more. So this is what we can do that not a lot of vessels can do. So, but back to what I was discussing. I'll show you one right here. I'm keeping them, keeping them kind of fresh, I like to, and just pulling red fish after red fish out of holes. Hold on — I not, I do not want to lose this
guy, my family expects me to bring home dinner. Usually have my ice box here, third, second cooler on my board today. We weren't planning on loading up on red fish like that. So, but anyways, people ask me about this micro pole spike — this is what this video is about. And this — oh, hold on, not losing my red fish. All right, so this is the same spike as this one here. So like today, so I'm in the channel, I'm about two feet there, if that. And then so going back there, and I'd probably use this eight-footer for the bridges. And where I was, we went this a really deep
channel that had some houses. I grabbed a snook, two reds out of that with our buddy. But then when I was back at this creek mouth — if you don't want this 8 foot spike, just doing this on, you cut down another one, and now you have a four-footer that is just not making, you know, noise, that's not getting your way, that's not getting your casting. So this right here, I have two paddle holders over here. Let me see, let me just turn around for Austin. So I have two YakAttack paddle holders here. What's going on with my — and what I do is I just store
them, there we go. I don't know what was going on there, all. And then, and I just store them like this throughout the day with my paddle. So I'll put two poles if I want to, and a paddle. When I'm motoring I'll leave one in while motoring, put these here on top of one another. And then they have these straps, and they have four straps, you can strap them down. So if you was wondering about that, this big old 8ot pole — you don't have to deal with an 8 foot pole, just cut one down like this. All right, it's getting dark guys, we're going to
get back to the ramp. Appreciate you, check us out SUP Customs.com. Take it easy.
