  • Join us on a 10 hour Florida fishing trip with Hubbard's Marina. We depart John's Pass in Madeira Beach bright and early before navigating around 20 miles out into the Florida Gulf, where we spend over 6 hours fishing in waters of 60 to 90 feet deep. The waters were rough and the conditions were challenging, (especially for beginners like us), but we were determined to catch some fish! Be sure to watch to the end to see if we caught any fish or if the rough seas got the best of us.
    While this video is not sponsored, we do have to thank Hubbard's Marina for hosting us on this 10-hour fishing trip. Complimentary accommodations allow us to both grow our channel and showcase local businesses without blowing through our budget.
    If you would like to book your own fishing tour with Hubbard's, or one of the many other types of tours that they offer, be sure to visit www.hubbardsmarina.com or call 727-513-5756.

    Everytime I'm in Florida, I want to go fishing. The private tours our out of my price range. So I go on the party fishing boats. I appreciate your time and what this tour includes. Thanks again!

      Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! We are definitely not big fishermen, but after this last trip, we could definitely see ourselves fishing much more in the future. As beginners we were a little bit concerned we'd be left fending for ourselves on the party fishing boat, but the crew was so helpful and gave us some great tips on how to catch some fish, even with our limited skill set and far from ideal conditions!

I found your channel very useful to get ideas about where to go and what to do. 2024 is going to be our 4th year spending winter in FL. We drive from KC to FL and stay in Airbnb's. btw I discovered your channel this month !!

    Brings back memories of deep sea fishing with my grandpa on the Jersey shore. One year he won the boat prize for the most fish. I won for the biggest. A huge Flounder that fell off the hook as I got it over the rail. Luckily the boat crew grabbed it. The secret! Pour a little beer on the bait. Might have been grandpa’s trick to keep drinking beer all day. Not sure but it worked. It has been many years since I went on a party boat in FL. Might be time to give it a try.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  7 місяців тому

      Wow you have so many awesome memories to share. I (Skylar) also have great memories of fishing with my grandpa. Ours were just pond fishing in Iowa for blue gill and crappie, and there certainly were no awards to be won, but they were some great memories none the less. We saved the beer drinking on this fishing trip until after the fishing was done... but had I known your grandpa's trick, I surely would have started earlier😂

If I (Skylar) would have continued to film the whole trip instead of fishing we would have had a lot more, but our number 1 goal was catching enough fish for dinner!

    hahaha....funny you guys doing that....I was out driving around lately to different locations, trying to see where are good places to fish from shore or a small pier, convenient free public parking, deeper water(not rocky, beach, or shallow), etc.....not much of a boat person, just want to drop the line in every now and then for an hour or two.....
