THIS is why you don't need a BIG BOAT.. Mahi Fishing in the Florida Keys

  • Fishermen Dream of the days of Glass Calm Crystal Clear water in the Florida Keys while fishing for Dolphin! Other wise know as a Mahi Mahi or Dorado, Dolphin are amongst some of the most sought after game fish while Deep sea fishing in the Florida Keys. Not only are they beautiful, they fight great and taste delicious, which equates to the most Epic Fishing Videos in a bay boat! There are a lot of different methods to catch Mahi Mahi, but we spend the morning throwing the cast net for pilchards to add live bait to our arsenal. Once we acquire bait we head to the Islamorada Hump to do some live chumming, which deems to be productive! After that we do some running and gunning, trolling, and share different tips and techniques based on how to catch dolphin fish. Once we tire out we run the boat from the deep sea in towards the shallow reefs to do some scenic snorkeling. Thereafter we head to the dock to clean up the fish to enjoy a delicious Mahi Mahi fish recipe!

      @@LifeByTheBow i'm looking into getting an offshore boat but i run out of VA. Norfolk canyon is my main fishing grounds and everyone tells me i need to get a viking 56 or bigger. i really love the contender you have and was wondering would you run that boat offshore here in VA. this might be a dumb question but i love this channel and respect any and all of your input.

I think one motor looked killer taking off like that under water, I could only imagine what those 3 Verados would look like!!! Awesome video though in general, I liked how u explained everything and could u possibly do a knot tying video? I follow a couple people that do a lot of fishing and none of them have a knot tying video and I’ve asked them as well and no one has responded to me yet about doing a video like that!!

When I would go down to the keys a couple years back, we had a great boat, however, with being at the pool so much, I did a lot of pier fishing (Key Colony Beach, Marathon). I know it may not be near as much fun but could you guys do a video on it (kayak fishing, paddleboard fishing, etc.)? Hoping that the border opens soon so we can come back down ASAP. Keep up the great work with UA-cam and your businesses!
