    Love, Love, Love your adventures. We bought a place in Bradenton Florida on the Manatee river in Dec. Came home to Ohio for the holidays and due to medical issues we are still in Ohio. Your videos are keeping us excited about returning to our new home hopefully by March first. Clay you are so knowledgeable and believe it or not you are teaching an old dog new tricks. Fishing in Florida is totally different than the Great Lakes. We Love the both of you , your videos are top notch. Thank you for all that you do. You are so RICHLY BLESSED.

    It is commonly said, but everything about your videos is just great. From the relationship you guys have, the fishing, and of course the cinematic production.... you guys truly provide amazing content. The scene beginning at 11:30 with the reflection off the console and subsequent serene footage and music made it as if I was there. Thank you

    Your camera work is simply incredible - the colors, focus, and sharpness come through in a way that is hard to beat. I am watching this on my large Samsung TV connected to a Windows laptop and it is unbelievably clear. Simply not possible at any price even 10 or 15 years ago.

    I forgot to tell you in December, but my wife bought me an Avail hat for Christmas and I am loving it. I have had so many compliments on it and she tells me I look awesome with it on (she doesn't tell me that very often either). I just want to thank ya'll for your videos and products. It gives me something to look forward to, one day when I retire. I know that no where is perfect, but what you have looks pretty close to it from my point of view. Keep up the good work and if you ever visit the Nashville area, I will be glad to be your tour guide.

I’m coming down again next week and this really has me pumped up and ready to leave these cold MN temps behind! Please please please tell me there’s a “part 2” coming because I felt like it ended to soon, I was left wanting more, WAY more! I mean I always want more, but this ended to quickly. I know how much you put into these videos between prep, shooting and editing and I’m great fun for you videos, but I was sad when it ended and where it ended. I wasn’t ready! Awesome video! Thanks!

    Clay, that shot of the sunrise after spending the night at Dry Tortuga Islands on the boat was spot on! Almost got teary eyed, such a magnificent scene.
    I hope to one day visit the Keys and try some of the spectacular fishing while there. That meal Stephanie cooked up looked amazing and delicious.

    Spent plenty of time there as a commercial fisherman in the 80s90s2000s. There is some real great diving there also especially off of Loggerhead Key, great thing is you don't need scuba gear. No sure what the legalities are there nowadays you would have to check because things change. Hospital Key is another spot to check if you can, talk about a deserted 🏝 island. I watched turtles hatch there one time. For fishing I would check out Pulaski, West side of Loggerhead, Banks and there was some great fishing to the east if you enjoy yellowtail snapper. I once caught a 87lb black grouper (gutted) at Rileys Hump back in the 80s. I believe it's all off limits now and just north of Loggerhead light I wrestled in a 100lb Kingfish(Handline). On the way there or back check out the rockpile(northside)Rebecca Channel, tail end of the reef Southside. Remember life's a ⛱ beach. Namaste
