Hey everyone thanks for tuning in! My videos consist of fly fishing, spin fishing, lobstering, and spearfishing! I've grown up fishing salt and freshwater and I know how to, or learn how to, catch fish anywhere. Feel free to comment and ask questions and I will do my best to help you catch fish too! Tight Lines!
@@alexandrablanco6408 honestly pretty much any bridge in the Keys has fish like this. It really comes in handy when the wind is blowing or you don't have a boat!
I’ve had this exact scenario happen as well…in Tortola, was solo and he scared the daylights out of me! Though he was a bull at first the way he charged my fish
I know it's only a nurse shark but dang it it still has the name shark in it for a reason haha. Definitely glad it wasn't another species for both of our sakes. Had an 8-9ft one come around another time I went and I didn't even shoot a fish yet. He came up, I poked him away, then he circled back and swam under me and did a circle. Just an uneasy feeling
Did you ever figure out where those water temp sensor wires go? My sensor was leaking but had no wires when I got the motor. Ordered a new sensor with wires and haven't been able to figure out where they go either. Thanks!
Unfortunately no, I could never figure that out. I looked at diagrams, I talked to a couple mechanics, looked on forums, no seemed to really know. I honestly don't know if they actually go somewhere or are just meant to hang there. I know the guy who had it before me never worked on it, so it definitely ran without them being connected to my knowledge. Sorry wish I could be more help on that one!
@@lastcastadventuresFL thanks for the response! That’s too funny that yours also wasn’t hooked up, I’ve been searching pictures, videos, wiring diagrams and can’t figure it out. You’re the first one I’ve seen that also has those wires
@@ableuzen80 do the others just not have them at all? I think as long as you aren't using the engine in cold water, it really shouldn't even be an issue. But I'm a DIY mechanic so don't take my word as law or anything lol
Great video, looks like great fun! My son and I coming out from CA in late May. Would you be able to share any recommendations on areas we can fish from shore in the keys? We'll be staying at Duck Key. Thanks, and tight lines!
Thanks! Ya it was a really good time! Honestly that area puts you pretty central to a lot of good fishing from land areas. The bridge north and south of Duck Key holds fish, number 2 and number 5 bridges are pretty good too, and even the seven mile bridge on the south end is good! Honestly it's the Keys, most places are good but hopefully that helps!!
Okay Jones, This is retired ranger Jones again. I tried the You Tube thing now that I'm retired. (Retired Ranger) Still trying to figure it out. Got subscribed to your stuff now. Gona be doing some Oklahoma trout fishing on the Blue River first week of January. Should have some good video of that. If you ever want to do drift boat (raft) for trout or smallmouth in the Arkansas Ozarks or Illinois River Oklahoma...let me know. Have to be in the spring or summer, or you will freeze to death. Your stuff lets me get my saltwater fish fix on.
Haha thanks for subscribing and congratulations on making it to retirement! Definitely sounds like that'll be some good fishing up there. I've never done it but looks fun, I'll have to see about making a trip out that way. I'm getting into hunting where I'm at now so my videos are slowing down a little, but I'll work on keeping them coming for you.
Great video. I was excited for you with that permit. I'm from Canada and have fly fished the keys but only wading from shore. Looks like i will have to bring my kayak next time
Haha thank you!! Bucket list fish crossed off for sure! You can still find some fish wading, but I always prefer the kayak because it allows you to get further to more fish and away from where other people would be wading as well. As long as it's not windy it's the better option in my opinion
I have always done my wade fishing from key largo to bahia Honda, maybe I should hit the lower keys. By the looks of it you are on the bay side, not ocean. We are here for the winter near port Charlotte. I will have to rent a place down there for a few days and bring my native watercraft peddle kayak along
@@karlpeter2285 I've heard the bonefishing is pretty great in the upper keys too, you tend to see more tailing redfish. But the lower keys has a lot to offer as well! I think they work the same kind of areas all along the keys but I haven't fished much in the upper part so I can't say for certain. If you can get down there then I'd say go for it!
@@karlpeter2285 there are many boat ramps that you can use, but most places along the road that look big enough you can launch from. Also some bridges can be good too
Hey LCA i was wondering how the wintertime flats fishing was for you while you were in the keys. Im gonna be there in January and hoping the bonefish/permit will still be on the flats.
Coming from a fisherman perspective if you are unsure you are better off cutting the line hooks are biodegradable and these sea birds do live around the salt water hooks should breakdown I speak from experience as I have had a live bait out and one of these birds has unfortunately swallowed it at the point of where the hooks were embedded, too deep that I couldn’t remove em so I just had to cut the line and turn the bird loose, hoping I had done enough .
Oh ya I completely agree, sometimes it is better to do that. But with mine being on the outside I didn't want the line to get wrapped around a branch and kill him. Sometimes it works out, sometimes I just try to cut it as short as I can so there's less line to tangle up
Honestly it's hard to say! I miss the clear water because it definitely isn't up here, but there's something about fishing in the marsh that's unique. I miss the bonefish and permit and cruising along the flats, but at least there are still tailing redfish and black drum up here. It's just two different worlds haha. I like the living better where I'm at now but I'll always want to visit the Keys when I can! So, I don't know😂
They don't here in Florida either on private property, but unfortunately I was in a forest so have to play by their rules haha. Hoping to get one with my bow here soon!
Hey just started watching your videos but I really like this shallow water stuff! Looks just like what we have here in Belize ! ( fish wise, terrain wise)
Thank you! Ya it's a really fun time, and for someone that isn't too experienced (like me) it's a great way to get into spearfishing and get some food on the table!
Clearly walked over at low tide and goats live perfectly fine on their own, usually they eat grass, moss, weeds, shrubs, and sometimes even tree bark if there is no access to grass.
Are you talking about fishing in the Keys? You can pretty much go anywhere and catch fish down there, the bridges are usually pretty plentiful! As far as guides I would Google it or go to the docks and see whose doing what kinda fishing and what kinda trip you are looking for. Hope that helps!
You said not much skill, but being able to sit and wait patiently and not spook fish, then take the right shot takes great skill and instincts. I’m an old guy now, and never did much free diving spearfishing where I live on Northern Florida Panhandle, but have done a lot of spearing on scuba, and that’s my favorite technique, especially with mangrove snaps - lay on the bottom or the wreck (we don’t have reefs or mangroves) and wait for the mangos to stick their head out. They dart in and out and if your patient and can relax, you can get a few.
That's cool that they do that offshore too, sounds like their weakness is curiosity haha. Thanks! I meant more the breathing part, my snorkel is pretty much always out of the water so I don't have to worry about holding my breath, just keeping it under control. My breath hold needs improvement for sure haha. Definitely a little tricky to not pull the trigger until the right one comes by
