Searching For Lobster From The Boat | The Perfect Day CCC 

If you don't already be sure to follow me on Instagram, I will be doing a Q&A on there this week! Thanks so much for watching! instagram.com/dibsonbottom_adventures/

If you’ve never been to the keys and seen what a windy boating nightmare it is, especially in the winter. You wont appreciate how incredible of a day this is

This dude is so calm all the time, genuinely don’t think he can be mad!

It's 12:AM in Africa, that's my quiet moments to watch your video, and I love how you take note on free driving alone, a bunch of loves and greetings from 🇳🇬

4:55 a little white powder under the nose always helps

As usual, awesome video! Since you are taking recipes. This one is very simple, but I will say it will blow your mind. I split the lobster in half, keeping the head and tale intact. I stuff grouper in the head part, cover with garlic butter, and put it on the grill shell side down until completely cooked. I do not flip. The grouper takes on the flavor of the lobster, and it is delicious!! Enjoy

I have noticed that a certain better half always seems to show up in the kitchen at sampling time! So awesome that you both can enjoy a fantastic harvested meal like this!

Super clear water for spotting lobsters from the boat Awesome Aaron😊🤟😲😳🦞🦀

I can’t imagine you get many days like that in October, beautiful, enjoy & thx for sharing

Thats awesome you're still finding new spots even after being down there for 10 years!! Have a great day Aaron!!

Your boat confuses me.

Those couple days two weeks ago were awesome. It was like an aquarium off of Sawyer. Did the exact same thing as you did in this video and took advantage of the crystal clear water to find new spots.

I really enjoy your videos me and my dad have been watching a lot of them! This year we put a lobster holding bag on a line with buoy dive flag and a weight belt (acting as a small anchor.) it was really nice not having to swim them back to the boat and not having to carry the bag up and down each time. We also tied it to the bottom near the weight belt while scuba diving. Might be nice to put a bag on your anchor line so you don’t have to climb in the boat each time

Brings back memories. When I was a boy living in the keys in the early 70's, someone had placed a bunch if car hoods out in an area and they were always full of lobster. I'm sure nowadays that's illegal.. Thanks for sharing your day.

Great visibility in the water. Makes us want to do an adventure in Key West! Thanks for sharing!

Good anchoring system……adopted! Thanks, Andrew

Aaron, (Aron?) I love your content! Inspiring to see someone living their dreams and achieving goals. Nice work!

My wife and I lived on No Name Key for 12 years and these sort of days let you count the bugs without getting in. We loged around 300 holes close to home. Yep we learned to note something about each hole in the log book.

We have dreamed of coming back since we left last month. I could see myself living there.

Thank you for taking me places that are calming.......

You should give the style of snare that is a simple loop on a stick a try, without the spring loading feature of the green one. You can often slip it behind a lobster under a crevice and pull in a single motion without needing to tickle them out to open it up behind them. Great video as always!

Something u dont see enough of is the tether being worn,i dont operate my sled,seadoo or boat without it,good to see,beautiful place your in there

Another Great Video Aaron! You are definitely the "Bob Ross" of Diving! I was thinking... in your recipe add grated ginger and the thinly sliced white parts of green onion, and use the thinly sliced green parts for garnish.

That’s how we have found many spots. Clear day float around. It’s awesome and fun.

If you ever make that dish again, save the infused simple syrup and use it in cocktails, homemade Italian sodas, etc. I’m sure it would be killer. Love the vids!

Scouting is one of my favorite things to do. A little marking tip that we use. Name your bigger marks with something descriptive that will clue you on what's there and mark the small spots with just the numbers. That way you see names for big holes and numbers for little holes.

i live in the las vegas desert and this looks like a day my soul and mind need. seeing the earth like this seems unreal to me

I dragged my boat to Marathon for a week of lobstering and mahi. The weather was great, except for some passing showers. It was late Sept. We were north of the 7-mi bridge and found no ledges anywhere. All were apparently filled in with sand from previous years' hurricanes. There were four of us hunting and desperately searching to no avail. Going to the Northern Honda Keys was about 20 mi. Not worth it to roll the dice on finding any, as it was late in the season. Obviously, my area was picked already, In years past out of Big Pine Key to the north was very productive. I'll probably never go to the Marathon area again. Great video!

Aaron I really love it when you do the underwater voice overs, it makes it easier to know what you are doing. That's fantastic. Any news on videoing the wedding???? We really want to be there to see it don't let us down please!!!😮😅

Nothing beats butter garlic and salt 💪

Wow!!! Talk about a slicker. Beautiful!!!

congrats on the full time, enjoying the calming diving vids and learning in the process thanks!

This is such a relaxing video, really great content. I love the sounds of the air coming out of your snorkel as you dive, it instinctively makes me slow myself down. Are you diving the gulf or the Ocean side in this video?

Lobster goes well with coconut. shredded coconut in reduced coconut milk. Brown off the fresh shredded coconut lightly in butter finish with garlic paste and a little lemon. deglaze with coconut milk and white wine reduce to half. Pan sear the half tail then pour the coconut sauce on before baking for 5-7 min. Top with fresh lemon juice and zest.

Might it be a foolish question? Can they cause harm or are they defenseless?

Madeline appears to have slimmed down for the wedding. Congrats and good luck.

Damn those seas ! Am a merchant Mmarina and days like those are special, some of the best waters are close to you Dry Totuga

Cook the simple syrup and orange zest back down to a syrup and drizzle it over the lobster.

Beautiful day. Best time of the year in South Florida. Madeleine hit the nail smack on the head: Baby spinach, goat cheese, mandarin oranges, cranberries, thinly sliced red onion, seared/grilled lobster w/Old bay for a slight kick, mandarin orange/ginger/balsamic vinaigrette dressing, topped with a generous helping of the candied orange zest.

Great video! I recently noticed the lobsters with the gray mark on the underside of their head always have orange (I’m guessing the beginning of eggs) in their heads. I try to let those go now whenever I find them

Maybe if you saved some of the flavored syrup that you cooks the orange zest in then poured it over the lobster along with the zest.

chunk the raw lobster up, saute it in a little of the simple syrup and zest with a little garlic. Coat the lobster pieces in the thickened simple syrup

And therein lies the question..... yes, there are but a few legal lobsters at this time of the season due to pressure from commercial and recreational, but why isn't there still a crap load of undersize lobsters on those ledges?

Wow what a Beautiful day!

I would suggest for the lobster quite a bit more Orange zest... I would reduce that simple syrup a little further...so it thickens a little more and and cling to the orange zest a little more...I would still do the Seer but instead of cooking it meat side up..I would cook it meat side down on top of the zest...once in the oven....so the flavors can permeate totally through the lobster. Carefully flip it over and broil it for a few minutes. bon appetit

Very beautiful view, the sea water is very clear, Boss Qu... Amazing lobster hunting.

Another great video. Your new boat looks perfect for what you're going after. I'm curious, you're gheenoe ledges, do you find any slipper or shovel nose lobster on them. Here in Sarasota we find them mostly in swiss cheese bottom. Keep up the awesome work my friend, stay healthy!!

Great video Aaron! Love the seek & find attitude. Hard work always pays off while most viewers want the “Now tell me the best place” attitude, so I can sit on my f#t a#s and reap the rewards of your hard work. Sad but accurate view of all the ones who keep asking “why don’t you say where you are”. Lol. The lobster dish may have been ok for some, but likely not for all. Just like your 2 reactions. However, before you say no, try the recipe as presented… get parchment paper. Thanks for sharing!!!

If you try the orange again, save the simple for margaritas!

Retired in Little Torch Key if you ever want someone to go along, and pass some knowledge! I'm trying to learn and explore by myself.

even "A Perfect Day" can't fully describe it

Its awesome that you have so many knowledge to share and still have some "secrets" to show. You just said it in the first seconds: wow. Nice spots and I believe no other capt do this like you. Im always learning and having fun. Thanks, Aaron!

@keywestwaterman old dude up by me told me to bring #2 pencils and write the description on the console. It erases/wipes off easy and you enter a good throughout description at the dock

Thank God...I thought I was the only one who's kitchen drawers looked like that.

You should have kept all the syrup. That's where the sweet orange flavour was. I would have brushed the syrup on every minute it was in the oven then topped with the crunchies.

Days like that you don't want to fish you just want to be on another planet enjoy the life mate I'm heading to the Philippines in a couple of months and I'm going to enjoy a mango tree on a beach in a tropical Paradise

Save some simple syrup and don't pre-bake the candy is my two cents. They'll naturally dry out if baking/broiling

Oh DAAAANG!! I don't remember the last time I've seen it that flat...

Amazing!! Great video Bud!

Wow you have the best office ever

Was just down there this past weekend. Unfortunately you were all booked. The keys are magnificent. Had lunch at the hogfish guess that was close enough lol.

Save that simple syrup,add water and ice

Very nice! look so clear water.

thank you

Thanks for the video, maybe try adding a little salt to bring out more flavor.

Really enjoy your videos keep them coming.

Hello from Virginia my friend 🇺🇸 60s here 50 s at night . Living the Dream ✅️ that's fresh 😋

Congratulations happy wedding wish you both a happy healthy life cheers

Secures weight belt and hoists dive flag. “I consider this snorkeling” 😂

Definitely would've saved some syrup for a drizzle, maybe a touch of cayenne

Man i need to get out to florida for some fishing/diving. looks so fun to just go out and catch stuff to eat

Next time you dont waste the liquid, reduce it down, maibe add some butter and use it as sauce. most of the flavor was dissolved on that liquid.

Wow I love it!! I wanna get a boat just to do that. Any encounters with sharks?

If I find a just barley short, I may break off 2" of antenna, so If I hit that spot again, I know he's short. OR if I dive it in a month and see some growth I catch and measure again.

I dream of sight fishing is skinny clear water like that, but I am not a dive guy 😂 I would never be looking under those ledges

Hey Bro, watched this episode, not enough flavor with just orange jest, maybe add some pickled ginger to it, try this one, when I was cheffing This sold like hot cakes, Lobster thermidor Classic Lobster Thermidor Easy Lobster Thermidor is a restaurant quality lobster recipe you can make at home in less than an hour. Super simple, decadent and perfect with a creamy cognac sauce. Prep Time 20 minutes mins Cook Time 15 minutes mins Total Time 35 minutes mins Course: DinnerCuisine: FrenchKeyword: lobster, lobster thermidor Servings: 4 Calories: 310kcal Author: Kellie Cost: $30 Equipment baking sheet Ingredients 2 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-pound cooked Maine lobsters 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons minced shallots 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cognac or brandy 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 teaspoon salt plus 1/8 teaspoon 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan plus 2 tablespoons 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves 2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley plus additional for garnish 1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese Instructions Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise with a sharp knife and remove the tail meat. Twist off the claws from the body and gently crack with the back of a heavy knife to remove the meat. Gently pull the front legs from the shell and discard. Chop the tail meat and claw meat into bite sized pieces and set aside. Place the halved lobster shells on the baking sheet and set aside. Melt the butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook the flour mixture, stirring constantly to make a light roux, approximately 2 minutes.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add the cream, stirring constantly, until thoroughly combined. Continue cooking while stirring over medium heat for 1 minute. (The mixture will be very thick.) Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese, mustard, tarragon, and parsley. Fold in the lobster meat. Divide the mixture among the lobster shells and place stuffed side up on a clean baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of each lobster with the gruyere and broil until the top is golden brown, 5 minutes. Place 1 lobster half on each plates, garnish with additional parsley, and serve immediately.

Delicious 🫶 Hoping one day I'll catch the lobster & make this awesome dish.

I’d bet BlueGabe got em all already😂

Those little single holes just big enough for them to get into backwards are their favorite when u find then holes it's about 98% chance u found a lobster!

@ 19:27 It looked like a Stone Crab, are you going to harvest any of those now that they are in season?

The lobster recipe sounds like a lobster salad kinda recipe...

Crunchy is Good Don't Grow tired of doing Good 👍 God Wins Biggly 🙏 VIVA CRISTO REY ✌️

Have you ever considered mounting a 360 camera on the bottem of your boat? Could be an interesting angle.

Gotta have those G.I Joe glasses to spot those lobster! 😂

I’d be curious to see vids like this for finding gamefish spots and reef fish spots if you’re ever up for that. This was a great one. In the end I’m finding it certainly is time on the water that’s the key

Aloha. Not judging or dissing, but maybe a more gremolata style. Breadcrumbs, orange zest, garlic, butter,parsley, lime. More crunchy bits for your honey.

love it wish I was there😎

Id give anything to live in FL for a year or two

What a day what a day....

Excellent!!!

I wouldn’t want to be the only food in sight especially in the keys

Your boat is so cool…

Love them crabs

You are diving at least 30 plus feet of water brother!

Yes, all the spots get "special" names, only way to go....👍

Coming from the space coast, when would you recommend to come down for the “chance” at the best water? Obviously it’s not predictable but ifn a feller was there a week.

I thought you were quitting doing the charters, why the need for new/more spots?

Such small bug's. I guess they don't really get a chance to grow with so many people harvesting them. Maybe a moratorium for a season?

11:20 that is one lucky lobster!

When is Will coming back down??? as usual great show today! also I keep wondering this, are you going to fit a trolling motor on this boat?
