Giant Yellowtail Snapper, How To Master The Art Of Reef Fishing In The Florida Keys. 

Welcome aboard!

Glad to help out, thanks for tuning in!

LOL Yes he did!

Its a fun fish to fish for, a lot more technical than you'd think!

You got that right!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for tuning in!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for tuning in!!!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful!

Very cool!

Thank you very much!

Hey thanks for tuning in! Glad you like the channel.

Thanks for the visit

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks For Tuning In!!

That grapple will grab the rock and hold. If you are patch reef fishing use the standard anchor and drop it in the sand. Thanks for watching...

Thank you 😋

You are welcome!

Thanks for watching Barin!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you kindly

You are welcome!

Glad you liked it!

Cuda makes a great bait!!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

Thanks for tuning in!!

LOL Theres lots of them!!

Thanks!

Where do you live, I'll bring some over!!!

@@marathonsportfishing I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL Do you do Charters Capt Mac

Yes I do

Good tip!

Yes, if you do a lot some of the bait shops sell them in 50# bags. A 2 gallon bucket is nice to mix with some salt water to gum them up a bit and get a large spoon/small ice scoop to pull them out with.

OK so i have a few of them but this is my fav. Penn Battle II 4000, 12# mono, BTL1017S70 7' 10-17# rod. The 7' rod is a must, gives some flexibility for fighting the fish. An 8' may be better yet! Thanks for tuning in, Tight Lines!

Thanks for the info!

OK I'm a bit AR...so i've tried it a lot of different ways and where i ended up is 12# mono-straight to the hook!

Thanks For Tuning In!!

The slack lands in the middle. Compare both charts and let me know how they look.

There is a link to the jigs in the description. OK for bait: live shrimp, hook in the tail, small chunks of ballyhoo, small chunks of bonita or frozen shrimp. Try the oats as well and the technique i used in the video. I use 12# mono for them., clear

@@marathonsportfishing thanks I appreciate it . I fish in the golf of Mexico in the fort myers area. What do you recommend to troll for mahi mahi in this area any depth that I should be targeting or any good places you know off ? Thanks

I am not familiar with the area, can you give me some info.

@@marathonsportfishing Boynton beach is 30min south of West Palm Beach. We do have an ocean inlet that blows bait in and out with the tides (and we use those tides to time our Wahoo trolls). There are 3 reef-lines running-north south for about 15 miles in both directions. The first reef is in 1mile out from the beach 40--90ft. depth (we avoid this area like the plague when bottom fishing because of snags) . The second reef is 1-1/2 miles out 90-120ft. depth (less rocky) . The third one is not actually a reef, but instead a steep ledge starting at 2 miles and 238ft. and goes deeper (300-400-500ft++ depth) the further you go out. If you will contact me directly, I can provide you a CMOR maps screenshot so you can see the actual bottom. Thank you, in advance. Cell 561-445-zero-five-zero-eight. David.

@@marathonsportfishing Did you get the info I provided Capt. Matt?

ok running this week, can you email me over a cmor? marathonsportfishing@icloud.com

OK here is one link that suggests what size to get: www.hiniumarine.com/product-detail/grapnel-folding-anchors/. I bought the grapple I use 3 boats ago for a 26' and it still seems to be working with the 33'6 but I have not had it down in real nasty conditions (nor do i plan too LOL)

No leaders, 12 pound mono.

Smith Automotive is the cheapest

I do not, i use 12# clear mono. Thanks for tuning in!

OK I bought it 3 boats ago...LOL...it was scaled for a 26' The anchor works by clawing into the rock and hooking it not by weight. Most stores that sell them know the size you would need.

@@marathonsportfishing thank you.

Cool, most of these were 18" plus.

How so?

Hey thanks for the info but I am correct. In a progressive wave, the maximum flood and ebb will occur around the times of the high and low tides, with the slack water occurring between the times of high and low tide. If you would like to come down and dive the bridges with me looking for lobster, that will help clear up any misconception of when slack tide occurs.

@@marathonsportfishing We're not talking about a progressive wave but a tide - the large scale rise and fall of the oceans caused by the sun and moon. I dive and snorkel all the time. I'm also an engineer. The minimum flow - zero - occurs when the flow direction changes - at high and low tides, where the slope of the tangent to the tide elevation curve is horizontal. Maximum flow rate occurs at midpoint between the high and low tides, when the tangent to the curve is at approximately 45 degrees from horizontal. Review your differential calculus.

@@marathonsportfishing let me explain it with an automobile analogy - when you reverse your auto direction, do you reverse at full speed ?? no - you slow down, stop and start reverse from zero. The tide flow into a bay or inlet works the same, the flow slows down, stops, then reverses course. The maximum flow rate is approximately halfway between low and high tides.

LOL

😂😂😂

Talking is good on occasion, a lot of people don't understand the dynamics of some of the things we take for granite.

I actually rewinded the first few minutes to properly understand what you were trying to explain. I really learned a lot from you talking and explaining what you were doing. I watched the video at least three times already. Please keep instructional videos like this coming. Very informative. Thank you!

Thanks for the comments. Doing the best I can!!!

Thanks, I was able to fast forward 10 minutes and get to the good part
