Solo Trip 30 Miles Offshore In A Small Center Console | Key West 189FS 

Don’t ever leave your boat in drive while you are not connected to your kill switch while you are alone 30 miles off shore.

I went offshore once by myself in the same area. I had 2 kingfish on at the same time! Got them both then cut my leg on a tooth! Thought it was the fish bleeding. Kinda scary moment until I stopped bleeding.

That's a funny lookin' kayak!!! :D :D :D

Better than a sand bar lol. Do it bro!

Damn dude, losing that black fin hurt me🤕

and never ever go alone just in case something was to happen

all our hearts sunk when that bastard got off. hey u laughed it off, that's cool.

Get a new boat... Better yet a new captain😅

Great video. I enjoyed it.

Little Rebelution in the background 👌🏼

That sucks bro. Next time hit me up...i'll be your deck mate. 😁

I seen a 12 ft hand made boat with two 5hp motors bring a load of Cubans 90 miles to Key west using 2 liter soda bottles for fuel tanks. I am going to run my Mako Pro 19 Skiff 70 miles one way from Key West to Ft Jefferson in may of 2026. Just to be safe I am going go about 30 minutes ahead of the "Yankee Freedom" (takes tourists daily to Ft Jefferson). I have all the safety equipment (Compass, Simrad, Hand held GPS, EPIRB etc). Why you ask? Because its there.

That one sweet set up man.

Does your boat do well offshore? looking at a Key west as well but a 22ft and curious how they do offshore.

You definitely have stones!

Great video, I just happened upon your channel and thoroughly enjoyed it, I would love to get a bit more info though, ie actual dimensions of your boat and the equipment used Rods, reels, lines, end tackle, But whatever I will be looi#king out for more of your content, Keep up the good work, Tight Lines!

0:25 I can see the boat is underway. You are walking from one side to the other. I know there is a cable connection to the ignition that cuts the boat's power in case we fall into the water. But I noticed you don't have that connection, what happens if you go to sea? Is the boat still going?? If so its very danger my brother. Thanks and all the best for

Nice work man! Subbed!

That's a legit 18 footer! Leaning posts are overrated anyway.

Noticed you got rid of the leaning post. I’m considering doing the same. Did you just put sealant on the holes?

What kind of rod and reel were you using

If you needed another person on the boat you should have called me!

What size boat is that and how much did you get her for

Dam almost

What rod and reels are those ? Ugly stick and Penn what ?

I am looking for a boat similar to this I was just wondering how much does a boat like this cost? I can't find a price for it online

Gutsier than me... What safety equipment do you take out with you that far off shore?

Great video. I'm seriously considering a 189fs at my local boat dealer. How happy have you been with the offshore performance? In this video, she seems to handle 2-3' swell no problem. Have you taken it out in bigger swell?

I usually kill the motor when I get a fish on. Ever get the line in the prop like this?

Did you take the leaning post off or it didn't come with one?

Wouldn’t it be easy to fight that fish if you put the boat in neutral?

What's your boat model?

Love this video ! Looks like you could use a partner, I live in little torch also work in key west in the process of purchasing my own boat as we speak! Lmk if you looking for new friends and Fisherman as I am have only lived here 6 months ! Awesome video man

Your use of the term "squared away" leads me to think you're a veteran.

ah man, lol

That trip needs 2 people.

How. Big is ur tank

dont need rod butt lol need to bump that boat outta gear lol

Hi , 71 new subscriber I think .👼

How long is this boat ?? Thanks !!

Your mistake was taking the out of gear…..

Hi, love your content! We at Kolify would love to work with you! We sent an email with details! Looking forward to your reply!

No life jacket or safety lanyard being used……. Perfect candidate for the Darwin awards. One day someone will find your boat cruising along at trolling speed with no sign of you onboard. Safety first people, safety first.

I know these waters. I was born and raised on Merritt Island and I have fished offshore Port Canaveral since I was a young boy back in the 80's. The Atlantic is not as unforgiving as the Gulf of Mexico, but to venture that far from shore in such a small single engine boat is very dangerous in that area. If your motor was to fail or if you encountered a squall, you could find yourself at the mercy of the Gulf Stream and the fate many who have fished this area have found previously such as drowning, starvation, and death by exposure. An EPIRB, VHF, and proper supplies may save you, but none of these are fool proof. This is a foolish risk. I would not advertise my "false bravery" and extreme foolishness to the world if I were in your shoes. It smells like a very poor attempt to get some attention and even a rookie would know this is too risky. I am ashamed to have blessed you with a view, but I had to know who was this foolish in the first place. Next time, go in a bigger boat, bring along someone who may save your life should something bad occur, and use that melon on your shoulders for survival instead of thinking up foolish gimmicks like this one.

You should get a FELL. MOB device. It’s irresponsible to other boaters but also your family.
