Ran the Maverick 23 miles offshore on an absolutely beautiful flat calm glassy ocean. Caught a dolphin, bonito (eaten by shark), and jacks. Underwater footage of bull shark eating bonito, manta ray, and snook. Eventful day.
Fantastic vid! Catching pelagics that far offshore in a flats boat, yeah im so jealous! I gotta buy a Maverick or Pathfinder and get back to fishing around J-town.
Not everybody knows what's up with them Bucktail jigs for dolphin. I have three rods rigged up with a jig and three more rigged up for cut or live bait. Nice video dude for being by yourself.
Personally I think you can fire them up with any lure if they haven't been too pressured that day. I like the bucktail cuz I can cast it a mile, let it sink, jig or rip it in - Basically cover distance and finesse them to strike it. Thanks for the comment.
Great video. I'm in the market for a flats boat, but I skeptical living on long island. How are they in choppy water/deep. Can I but my family on it in the bay ? Do you they take on a lot of water with boat traffic?
I've had the maverick 17 and 18. They are both great boats - obviously the 18 a little more stable than the 17. Both handle 1-1.5 foot chop fine. I would not want to be in any bigger waves. They both take waves over the bow, stern and gunnel when not on plane. Make sure bilge pump is working as they are not self bailing. There's another video of me running the 18 and I am going to post one soon of me running in the 17 hpx-v - if you want to check them out.
Hey just curious on what time of year is best to fish for dolphin? I’ve got a release 20 and I’ve been wanting to get offshore, also how do you go about picking your days to run offshore?
summer for sure especially for small boats cuz glassy calm days are more frequent. I pick days solely on wind and weather ... if glassy with not thunderstorms, I go out there.
@@straightouttajupiter Ill need to come check it out, that water clarity is unreal, love fishing in those conditions. What site do you check for waves?
What rod and reel are you using? I saw it’s a penn. I’m Just starting to offshore fish so I’m looking for something I can use out there and use inshore aswell. Obv not trying to hook up on huge fish lol. Thanks, also what test line? Thanks
