That's the only way to do it. If the resource is easily attainable, don't pay for it. I always hated paying for bait. If the the mullet are running and you've got a net, bucket and aerator you've got bait. Shit from pinfish, cut ladyfish, and small crabs the ocean offers you option after option to do your fishing.
I noticed you said that was your first Kingfish, I also am in the Stuart/Martin County area and have been fishing offshore here for 25 years. I’m just moving back after living in Jacksonville over the last five years and if you ever want to fish with an experienced and chill local, let me know. I have all of my own tackle, I have my own boat, and I had a lot of non-public GPS numbers. I like bottom fishing over trolling but trolling is something I’ve been wanting to focus on more lately. Kind of weird to ask someone about fishing together on RU-vid comments but, figured why not.
"Oh I gotta lot of bait" (pulls up cast net) TONS of bait! Just found your channel recently and love it man. Keep doing what you are doing. Tight lines!
Your terrific,sir…..just LOVE your channel,makes me feel so good watching you catch all those lovely yellow tail.keep on trucking man.Kindest regards,Tony.
Love it! My first video, and I’ll say I love the fish in Florida … you guys don’t know how hard it is way up north, I’m so envious …. Keep fishing and telll us what they are and I’d would love to see you eat them!
If you bleed them cut off the head ,gut them throw them in Ice they not so bad they actually make good sushi the bonita! It's all in the prep and keep!You got some nice fish to take home and eat ,good grind's!Lotta fun!!
firsty time i see one of your videos and im very impressed.. finally someone that takes the time to explain and show the all Prosses to help others like me on how to put the magic together! new subscriber here.. thank you
Thanks so much Johander for commenting and watching! Welcome to the Fishaholic Fam I hope I can keep you entertained and teach you a few things to know on the water. Tight Lines!!
Oh yeah open ocean fishing that's where the action is nicely done, oh and I don't want to scare anybody but I've eaten bonito they taste a little fishy but I like that.. That is the only one I would of skinned out of todays catches. Great video awesome day and fyi they do sell a pfd in the form of a fanny pack to use when trolling alone cause if one falls.. (there is also a belt harness to rope yourself in short of the end of the boat cause that's area is for the prop)
... I loved fishing when I was a kid ('50's-'60's). Fresh water was great, but salt water always had a much greater aura of mystery because you literally didn't know what you'd catch ... like a 4 foot sand shark on 20 lb test / spinning rod in Sebago Lake in Maine. Jigging with a Viking lure. When that thing surfaced, I sat down in the middle of the boat and refused to budge, lol.
You really have to ice down those king fish else the meat becomes very mushy. Also bleeding them out is a good idea because they have a huge blood line. Not something to share on YT probably 😂 Great size to make some smoked fish dip. Great video!!
One suggestion, when you're trolling and get a hit on the rod don't bump the boat out of gear right away, make a turn first. They tend to get off if you bump the boat out of gear right away.
Isn't it really something with some of the smaller fish just fight like crazy we have a olive rockfish that smallish but oh man you hook one you know what you have there is no mistaking that crazy action hell-a fun.
As you tossed back all of the Bonita, you may ot have tried them, they are pretty good smoked, with your favorite seasonings ,I recommend Garlic and Lawrys season salt.
I’ve eaten them before and I didn’t really like them much. Instead I should have kept some to turn into strip bait that I could have frozen and used when I went offshore next as a trailer for my trolling lures.
Rich you gotta come back to the Cape cod Canal!!! things are starting to heat up! And I just recently purchased one of your fishaholic bucktails can’t wait to use it 🤙🏻
I get so excited when I get a Fishaholic notification!!! Nice mess of fish you caught brother! Damn I would love one day out on your boat with you catching anything that bites and trying to filet them myself!!! Thanks for another great video brudda! Tight lines and I'm already itching to see the next one! LMAO 🤣
Did anyone see at 4:08 the fish (Im guessing) that went shooting from the port side of the boat thru the water leaving a smoke trail like an offshore lure? Looks like a little silver torpedo got shot from the boat.
Love the videos and content ,but….. I hope you have a kill switch connected when trolling/bringing in a fish while the boat is in gear. Complacency kills. We hear of people fishing alone falling out of the boat that’s in gear. We watch you every week and just want you to be safe. Thanks for hearing my rant and we appreciate the fishing ! We will be moving there next spring.
Great video! Nice yellowtails, it’s fun to see them caught on big baits. We usually catch them on the really tiny hooks and small cut shrimp in the chum. Awesome eaters.
