I’ve been watching countless videos to prepare for an upcoming Keys trip.A lot of great ones out there but this is by far the most helpful.Thanks for the post!!
Brotha! Thank you! Thank you! Thaaaannnnkyouuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! Finally someone explains how to find trends in my favorite fishing area! Dude this is great information...it makes total sense to me now with finding areas versus the weather.! especially where those currents run! Excellent explanation man I really appreciate it! we'll most likely bump to each other one day!
I really enjoy your channel. I appreciate that you throw in the educational content, catch and cook, how to, etc, as well as good content on the water catching fish. Looking forward to the new Marathon content. Like it there much more than Key West.
I've been coming down from Central Fla. since mid 70s...Marathon used to be my fav spot...but now, it's too crowded great instructional vid! I hope you try "Seven Mile" for some HUGE tarpon
Screw paying for charters I learned everything for fishing the keys from your videos and getting out there. Dont forget about the juvie tampons at 7mile bout launch
Awesome video brother I grew up in grassy key right where you're talking about all the good fishing I now live in central Florida do vacations in the keys have not been down there since covid Next time I go down I would love to hook up with you and discuss good fishing spots You have a lot of knowledge and know what you're doing it's hard to find people like you Be safe my friend God-bless you and your family ✌️
Lived in Grassy key for a time. Worked at the Boat House in Marathon and Duck Key Marina. Mainly fished all the time...mainly ocean side. Brother in law was Harry Spear the flats guide in the 80s. Caught everything on flats and bridges...then figured out sails off long key bridge by the structure that was dump from bridges. Moved to Texas and fresh water fishing is not the same. I could go to the keys today and catch anything.
Enjoy your videos. Heading to Duck Key for 10 days over Christmas and staying in a rental house right on the water....Yay! Taking my 24 ft Scout bay boat and have been many times before. Expecting we will have a blast.
I just came from the keys on the weekend before the hurricane. I went to scout for possible residency, While 99% of people were welcoming I did get a few that said I was welcome but I cant stay...LOL True story. We say the same thing in Texas for people from California.
Coming down to key colony this Sunday, maybe catch at the fisheries if you stop by. From what you said, you only live down the road feom tye condo. Always love the information you provide. Mrs and I wont be kayaking but sure hope to get some mangroves and yellowtail. Maybe a tarpon or blacktip to spice things up. Enjoy and good luck my friend
Anyone who's ever moved to a new area after a long time in a particular place can attest to the fact that the local knowledge you gained over the years doesn't do much for your success in a new place especially if you're going to a totally different environment, say fresh water to salt water or mountain creeks to man made lakes. I moved half way around the world from North Carolina and I've spent many depressing days trying to figure out how to fish all over again. If you can't afford a guide at least find a good seafood market LoL
Awesome video very in depth and informative as always best of luck in Marathon I’m sure you will love it.... can you do a vid for wade fishing and how you look for those spots in the keys?
I’ve got a really interesting question .. where do you think fish like tarpon, snook redfish would be if humans never built bridges, jetties, houses, canals. Just a random thought. My guess would be natural reefs and flats & beaches. Off to think about
Why don't you guide. You diffantly seam to be out there enough. Thing to add is wind direction which will determine water temperature. Fishing around new and full moons will always produce more current and most likely more fish. Another note that ive discovered on the water is fish like stable conditions. Three days high pressure or 3 of low pressure. If the next day after 2 or 3 of the same can produce good result.
Great informative videos, thank you and keep the great work. I'm visiting the keys feb6 for a week. I know this is probably a question that could be answered many ways , but , I'm a shore angler, one spot one bait you can recommend?
Let's fish agian like we did last summer , let's fish agian like we did last year, oh do you remember when this all started, I dont remember when but msnbc got involved in Dec. Of 2015.
No.... Do you need to know why? Let's start with..... You have to have you AND your boat at the same ramp, at the same time, as the guide is departing. Since the chances of a you meeting that monumental requirement are zero, all the other reasons are moot.... huh?
My husband and myself want to come down in October. I have wanted to come there for many years. Can you please tell me if it would be safe as far as covid , we would fly down and rent a RV to drive and stay in . Please let me know if we wear masks will we be okay?
Rv rental... Good luck on that right now....And of you have to ask this question no you won't be safe. Better stay in your bubble. Stay safe and not trying to be a troll but cmon lmao.
Thank you for your input . I really want to go so bad I guess . Lady chance I got Irma hit , now covid. But I really already knew . Thank you. God bless everyone
@@aliash8599 live your life. You have a 99.7% chance of living if you get covid. I like those odds. Be smart. Don't touch handrails then suck your fingers lol. Wash your hands. Keys are a great place to visit and you will be safe. The locals need the business. Go for it. Rv rentals I heard are on like 3 month waiting lists all around the country but bet you can find something if you keep searching. Stay safe 👍🇺🇸
Let’s be honest, expecting the “similar” results to verify your fishing down to the hour over the course of an entire year is absolutely impossible. Migration patterns change, weather changes, tides change, and those are only the big ones. You can gain an excellent foundation of your fishery by fishing all times of day, tides, and water temps. You don’t need 3000hrs and not even that amount of time will give you the ability to know where a species will be on a specific day at a specific time.
Don't go to Tampa Bay over the last 20 years it has become a madhouse it don't matter what day of the week it is packed I'm in a kayak so the boaters do not respect your privacy and they will literally pull up so close to you and say they're sorry can I offer you a beer or bait and toss it to you that's how close they are. I'm the same way I will fish anywhere there is nobody else and I have to keep my ride in the water so nobody sees my rod bending or they will flock to you like vultures and you will not have a spot no more
You should consider a Teaching position in Monroe county. You have the knack.

Great video ! I have only made it to the Keys once but, you have me dreaming about doing it again.

Yo e mirado todo su video desde hace mucho tiempo y e aprendido mucho de usted

Best way to catch fish fast in a new area is talk the tackle shops AND the people who already regularly fish that area.
There is a bridge on sadowski that is good for smaller fish. Snappers, grunts and some other stuff. We caught a ton there about a month ago.
Been waiting for this video for years!
Ever apply it? Catch any?
Truelly a fantastic educational video great thanks very very much...
Awesome video very in depth and informative as always best of luck in Marathon I’m sure you will love it.... can you do a vid for wade fishing and how you look for those spots in the keys?
I’ve hooked up to a couple giant tarpon on the Atlantic side of the cut in the middle of marathon. Just some ideas....
Yeah and also after sunset or right after 8pm...man there are massive ones feeding along all those bridges.
4-5 commercials would be watchable with this juicy bit.
first thing to find out is where be the lobsters.
i will be down there fishing for 5 days in nov... i better hire a guide if i dont want to spend my whole time figuring stuff out...LOL
Did you catch any fish?
Good knowledge thanks for that can use Samsung in my own area thanks again
ecellent job thank you . very helpfull.

:Loved Roby's BTW
Do you have or invite kayakers to go fishing with you. That will be nice.
Probably not...have you seen his style kayak? You'll slow him down 🤣🤣🤣
Love your channel

Can you watch where the pro guides are taking their clients?
No.... Do you need to know why? Let's start with..... You have to have you AND your boat at the same ramp, at the same time, as the guide is departing. Since the chances of a you meeting that monumental requirement are zero, all the other reasons are moot.... huh?
Are you still in Marathon?
Change your channel name to Marathon Kyak Fishing 😂
D*** where's your bait store
My husband and myself want to come down in October. I have wanted to come there for many years. Can you please tell me if it would be safe as far as covid , we would fly down and rent a RV to drive and stay in . Please let me know if we wear masks will we be okay?

Guides are a rip off, haven’t had good outings with guides, wast of money. $700 a day no way. Don’t it twice and came up not catching nothing
