  • Tried my luck using live Cichlids in the Everglades. Slow trolling them around points in the Mangroves for a mixed bag worked for a few bites including my personal best snook!

    Nice fish! Just a little advice from a true Floridian, wear closed toed shoes. If something goes south and you need to walk or swim, the flip flops can be life threatening, ie... unsure footing, severe cuts on feet, toes, and hands when you fall. After 65 years of fishing the entire state of Florida, I cantaloupe you from experience, if it hasn’t happen yet it will. Nice video!

  • @theshadowbehindyou9631
    @theshadowbehindyou9631 3 года назад +2

    Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows will catch everything in FL just about. I use them for snook, redfish and trout but they will catch just about any predatory fish down here.
    Also be careful what you use for live bait in the rivers as there are different rules and regulations. For instance you cannot use a game fish for a bait fish down here, so bream or sunfish are off limits though bass and snook feed on them heavily in the fresher water areas.
    As for using cichlids, great idea and one I never really thought of, but given they are an invasive the more removed the better and if you can catch some nice snook in the process, hey...👍👊

    • @Saltfly
      @Saltfly 11 месяцев назад

      You can use bream and sunfish for bait. Only if they are caught on hook and line with no cast net on board.

    Elias,
    I have my Pro Angler 14 coming in the next three weeks. And hope to see you on the water around Wrightsville soon. I have to say thanks for your videos. Because I have actually been using them as study guides. Along with a lot of other research of course.
    It’s so funny to hear the reaction in your voice about gators. But have no problem being in deeper water with sharks.
    Take care and be safe making your way home.

  • @Whippit_ReelGood

    The cichlids are are GREAT eating fish. Get some that are filleting size and and man oh man. They’re invasive and you’re encouraged to keep all you catch. I know we fill coolers full of em when we get the chance.

    hay hay... Elias 2 fridays back I was catching Chchlids, Oscars, and Peacock bass. Also large mouth here and there. Had a great time. Woah, look at that Snook. He is a real beauty. So nice... Did you even measure it? I wasn't using them as bait, just catch and release. I was really going for Peacocks. We caught quite a few.

    • @EliasVFishing
      @EliasVFishing  3 года назад +7

      Didn't measure. I'm less inclined to leave fish out of the water for YT and Instagram shots lately. Have 36" marked on the kayak and laid it next to that and it was a bit over so I'll guess around 37"/38"

    Awesome fish dude. Thought it might be a tarpon at first. You'll probably slam them on artificials, I got mine on little 4" Zmans when I was there. It's surprising that there is no stocking program for those fish seeing as they're so highly pursued and the slot is so narrow.
