Thanks a boat load for watching and always being here. Truly and sincerely couldn't get this done without your support. Fishing is one of those things I could talk about all day with folks... It really is great being able to share both successes and failures with everyone... If I can help out by removing some of the guess work, then I've done good. Thanks again for everything you do for the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Heath, Nice Albies !!! I would love to slow pitch jig some day. It just looks like fun. I guess you can slow pitch all year round. Something's going to bite. Hope Avi and the Fishing Girls are having a good summer. Tell everyone I said "Hi." Talk to you on Thursday. Have fun and good luck this week, Mickey
Hi Mickey, thanks for watching. All the kids say "Hi Mickey" and yes they are in full summer mode. Bijoux and Bella are making to stay up all night, taking full advantage of not being in school. I know I did that back in the day, but wow, it makes me tired just thinking about it. Yes, slow pitch works year round, especially when it seems like nothing is around or eating... You can get into the bite. It's one of my favorite styles of fishing... from the strike, to the uncertainty of what you're gonna catch. It never gets old. To bad there aren't enough hours in a day to everything I want to. Thanks again for always being here over the years. I remember when we first started chatting. Thanks, Mickey, sincerely. Hope all is well with you and your family. Talk to you Thursday. Take care :)
Hi Heath, Everyone's good here. Sounds like B & B are enjoying the summer. Since I can't saltwater fish, I enjoy watching you fish. I'm shooting once a week, so that helps fill in the fishing void. Have a good week and I'll talk to you on Thursday, Mickey
It was a beautiful day, a little bumpy, but still nice out. Had to figure out a good fishing method for the day. The seaweed has been relentless this year. So the good trolling days are few and far between.
Hi Alex. Thanks a million for watching. Hope you are able to do some slaying. I heard the red tide is kicking in, so please be careful. Yes, that was a monster Bonito. definitely a solid 20 pounder. Looked like a blackfin as it was coming up. Thanks again for always being here and supporting the channel. Good luck on your fishing adventure. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. No, I don't do guided trips. I don't have a Captain's license, therefore, I'm not certified to take out paying customers. Sorry I couldn't be more help in this matter. Thanks again for your support of the channel. If you are looking for a great captain to guide you, look up Captain Alex Pesca Mares. he has a UA-cam channel and is a certified captain. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Keith ... I'm just getting into some SPJ fishing. Question ... do you loose a load of jigs? Can one use a 12" wire leader to the jig? Love your channel and I hope your son Avi (spelling?) is still bending the rod.
Hi, yes sometimes I lose jigs, but that all part of it. I don't recommend wire, you can use it, but it decreases your hook ups big time. And yes Avi still loves fishing.
Gomexus has nice reels... the 50 is smaller but has a higher gear ratio 7:1.... the 450 has more line capacity with a lower gear ratio 6.3:1. Personally I'd go with the 450... more line & slower gear ratio from the two of these reels... 6.3:1.... which is still screaming fast
All in all a great video. One little point tho. I don't understand why you tie on a solid ring and attach your split ring to it. That ring serves no purpose. I learned to either tie on directly to the solid ring of the assist hooks, or tie on a ballbearing swivel and attach that to the split ring. To me, the way you use the solid ring is no different than just tying a loop knot.
Thanks for watching everyone has a different way to hook the jigs to the lines some use swivels some hook the assist hooks directly to it me I prefer the solid ring which allows me to keep my jigs rigged up and I can seamlessly switch from one to another I don't have to stick with the same hook size depending upon what jig choose to use
Hey there heath. Nice informative video again. You really give a lot of insight on how to on all your FYI video. Really appreciate that. So a question I had not sure if you know for sure. I bought a goofish flat black rod. And I'm looking at a slow pitch reel. It's a left spiral rig as far as the eyes go on the rod. Is it that you match the reel for a left sided Handel to go with the left spiral eyes? Or does it even matter? Thanks Ed Tight lines.....
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. No, the side your handle is on has no effect on which way your wrapping should go. There are a million theories out there... like right handed person should a right spiraled rod, lefty should use a left spiral rod... All of this is BS. The only viable answer I have found throughout the years, is that the left spiral is more of an asset when it comes to retrieving line on a conventional reel due to the fact the reel wants to naturally pull the to the right, thus helping the re-spooling process happen more evenly. You'll see this first hand when you start fishing, because you won't have to guide your line on when reeling in... It's a pretty cool phenomenon, when you drop out several hundred feet of line, get a strike, and your fighting the fish on a conventional and you don't have to worry about guiding the line on evenly. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thanks Heath. That's the best knowledgeable answer I've received. I like to reel my conventional reels in on a right handle. Spinners I'm on the left. Go figure..... Thanks Again.

Easiest way to determine the current direction is to put your boat in neutral and see which way your drifting... if you drift north, then you have a north current, if you drift south then you have a south current. You'll also be able to tell how fast the current is by looking at your speed over ground on your GPS. If your not moving, you have no current, in that case I wouldn't fish the reef.
I appreciate your response. Regrettably, I do not own a boat at the moment. However, I am eager to grasp the dynamics of currents under various wind conditions. I frequently go fishing on charter boats and I am interested in trying slow pitch jigging. To achieve this, it is crucial for me to have a clear understanding of the currents I will be dealing with. So, if I am interpreting your explanation correctly, when faced with a northeast wind, does this mean that the boat will be pushed towards the south-southwest direction, and that the current will also be flowing in a southerly or southwesterly direction? Or is it possible for the current to be different from the wind's direction, leading to the boat being pushed by the current rather than the wind?
@@boat_life very possible for current and wind to be going in opposite directions... Depending on which is stronger, the wind or the current will determine the direction the drift boat is pushed. You could end up with what is known as a backup drift where your line gets a huge belly shape bowing out from the boat before it hits the bottom
@@jbl2270 you are binding up one side of the reel because you are not guiding the line on evenly with your thumb... it's called level winding. As you are winding in, use you thumb to guide the line on evenly back and forth across the spool. This should solve your issue Here's a link to a video that shows a little bit of level winding ua-cam.com/video/fcLa_6OwO-o/v-deo.html
Heath you are missing the point on false albies have a bucket with a salt water slurry and immediately bleed the fish then put in slurry sashimi fish after soaking
Thanks a million for watching and reassuring me that I'm missing out a great meal.

How do you determent the way of the bottom current ?
Easiest way to determine the current direction is to put your boat in neutral and see which way your drifting... if you drift north, then you have a north current, if you drift south then you have a south current.
