It sounds like you caught 90 trout.
Also, bass trackers are underrated. I stash one at my parents in Alabama and I’m looking forward to the next outing on it.

Is your last name Hillman by chance?

2 things
1. I would go with a stiffer rod for sightfishing reds. It helps to penetrate their mouth and I’m seeing after you set it initially and give slack you’re losing the fish. This generally happens with light/medium setups. Also consider braid. Less flex than flouro and would also help your hookup ratio imho.
2. Are you making the content for yourself or others?
If yourself, make what you want and do you.
If for others, most creators follow a format. No graphics, music, or other frills. Headcam with the occasion pole cam for sightfishing / transit shots.
I follow about 50 of them and know a couple personally. This format is best for algos and general engagement / most efficient editing long term.
Typically you have:
-a ride out shot 1-3 seconds
-intro, whats going on guys, out here today in ×××× / with my buddy xxxx / trying to get on some ×××× ( 10 – 30 seconds)
-cast, cast, cast jump cuts ( 5 -10 seconds)
-explain what style / method you’re using and where you’re targeting them (banks, ledges, other structure) and where you expect them to be in water column (30 seconds / 1 min)
-show hook ups / misses (5 -10 minutes) make sure you narrate, [point] I see one right there, lets see if he eats, OH HES GOT IT!
-explain some tip / trick thats working for you ( 30 seconds – minute)
-explain your tackle setup (30 seconds – minute)
– CC&C = catch, clean, and cook if you need to make it longer (2 – 5 minutes)
-outro on water if no CC&C, ok guys thanks for coming along we caught XXX, if you have any questions or specific content be sure to let me know in the comments, subscribe if you wanna see more, and ring that bell so you know when a new video goes live, we’ll see you on the next one, till then thank you for watching and tight lines blah blah blah (30 seconds – 1 min)
Chop out 1 -2 minute highlights to cross post on FB and YT shorts.
Chop out 15 second – 1 minute clips to cross post on Tiktok.

We were finding snapper about 60 -70 ft. Let it hit bottom 3-4 cranks and wait, give it 10-15 seconds, 1-2 more cranks, 10-15 seconds, then check bait or reposition. Snapper fishing needs no lessons imho. Just show up and blow up and get it past the sharks.
I know the founders of MRTIS really well from working on the river in a past life so I have a discounted copy but theres tons of features like weather overlays(which the windy integration was my idea), cameras up and down the river(good for seeing river clarity), a fog predictor(which I think is the only one in existence)but the most important for me is the river gauge/speed and traffic. I would not have felt comfortable running in fog without it. Best part is all these functions are in one place and all dedicated specific to Louisiana.

You know this better than most having wrote the book on fishing the boot:
Those redfish will always be there.
The best part about Venice is you can hit those trout in the morning and pop over to the wagon wheel or <insert favorite Venice pond region> at any time or even PAH/PS/MG on your way back.

Just reporting the facts.
IF I wanted play with your emotions, I would let you know that I lost a mule who became aerial (more like a marlin than a bass) when I hooked him and the fact that we all broke off on trout that never surfaced.

They love catching, not so much the fishing and THEY WILL LET IT BE KNOWN when it is time to move.

I used to post in tripletail fever on FB and guys would try to give me brain at the launch for tips.
I had to start showing up 15-30 minutes early most days to launch on time.
