Thank you for this information. I know where I want to go now. Went to the keys last. Now I want to check this place out thank you so very much. And another awesome video thank you.
Fish with your dad all you can. I lost my dad a couple of years ago. Like your dad, mine taught me everything about fishing, hunting, and the outdoors in general. Spend time with him Aaron. You won't be sorry.
I love dad and son doing things together, that’s how best life is! You have a good dad! Shout out to all dads out there who teach their sons fishing hunting, car fixing or whatever else you may be into! Your sons will be great dads and great men in our society! We need more of dads who participate in life of their children!
As crystal clear as the water he provides from. I’ve been watching Aaron since day one and look forward to every Monday and super stoked when one is put out on random.
Hey there A Aron, I'm a 59 year old father with a 28 year old son, and I absolutely love to see stuff like this. Treasure your time together. We all know how short life is. Peace my brother.
Nothing more valuable than spending time with your family, your Dad reminds me a lot of my own. My Pops passed away 4 years ago unexpectedly and I miss doing things like this with him. Looks like we are around the same age, so deff cherish those moments tomorrow is never promised.
After years of watching. I was lucky enough to get to meet Aron at smokin tuna in key west. It’s not often that what you see is what you get. The definition of a class act. A memory I will never forget with my parents and I. The man embodies everything I love about the Florida Keys. Aron you make this world a better place and keep doing what you do. You make so many people have hope and happiness. Wish you the best. Thanks for the memories. Spear on brother
Resort looks awesome, definitely have to book a trip there. Looks like they have kayaks and bikes available to rent. Thanks as always for a great video!
“A Quarter For The Biggest “!!!!! My dad used to say that to me when I was a kid fishing with him. Good memories of ole dad!! Awesome to see you and dad making memories! Keep up the good work young man!
La Jolla Resort & Lodges is delighted to welcome to you and your family anytime! Thank you for choosing to visit us again and allowing us the opportunity to contribute to creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime!
Nice to meet you Mr. Young, you raised a wonderful man there. He’s kind, down to earth and genuinely cares about people and ocean life!! I hope you all had a wonderful vacation!!😊
I’m a Conch from Mey West. My dad would always take me to the Everglades hunting and fishing as a kid in the 70’s and 80’s. Those memories came rushing back seeing you and your dad!!! Lost my dad 17 years ago at 57 glad I found your video of you guys!! Brings back the great memories of Fishing(hanging out) w pops! New sub here! Thank you for sharing!
There is nothing more satisfying than sharing with your teacher what you have learned. I have had this experience recently and it was something very special.
Great video,Aaron👍😎 Glad you went fishing with your Dad(how very special). Met you last Friday when we went Paddelin w/Madeleine!! (I have the Scout camper)! You two are as nice and genuine as your videos portray😊 Keep on living life 😎
Bonus video! So cool to spend time with your dad. Memories that are priceless. I lost my dad when I was younger, would give anything to have the opportunity to fish or hunt with him.
I don’t have any sons but my dad always took me fishing regardless if it was fresh or salt. We lived in KeyWest and up and down the east coast since he was a navy man. I have two daughters and both understand fishing because I always took them and even now we go bass fishing and catfish fishing. It’s a love and respect of the outdoors that you pass on when you take the time to show them. 😎
At 21:30, I'd fish that point in front of your boat where the current tails away from the mangrove island tip. Lomg casts just upstream from the point and let the current take your bait to the point. Try a popping cork to keep the bait in the strike zone also.
Great to see you fishing with your dad! I grew up fishing with my late grandfather and my dad which are amazing memories! I'm now taking my grandkids fishing whenever I can which is much different living in rural West Texas!
I love exploring new places where I don’t have the first idea of how and where the fish are, or what the best techniques and locations. If limited on time, I will hire a guide to quick start the process and get the lay of the water. I can be happy catching anything in new spots, and also learning where the fish aren’t. What I find really cool as a “Tourist “, is playing dumb and fishing in places where none of the locals will fish, and I have had some unbelievable catches from spots that nobody fishes, and I’m just a lucky angler. Many popular tourist places don’t get heavy serious local angler pressure . That resort looks like the kind of place that appeals to me and my family and friends, really appreciate you sharing your spot. Enjoy some relaxation time with your people.
Appreciate the content you put out! I spend March on big pine every winter and launch often near your place. Watching your videos get me thru till next march...thanks!
I look forward to seeing all your videos, probably watched them all. This might be my favorite, having lost my dad last year, he showed me everything I know about fishing. This brought back memories of my father and us fishing together. Thank you Aaron, love the channel.
Was just there this week, we fished the same ditch for a few mangies but the water was too high in the glades and the wind had floating grass all around flamingo and snake bite. Wasn’t the most productive trip, but we did have fun and catch a few. Love the videos! Keep up the great work!
Hello Mr. Young, wonderful to 'meet' you! Aaron, that dinner looks delicious as always. The fishing was laid back and enjoyable! Have a wonderful week KWW Family! Thank you for bringing us along!
Hey, Aaron. Nice video of you n Pops sharing a family day. Nice to meetcha Mr Young. Now, Aaron ...I reckon that i can now accept your current hairstyle ( ya traitor!)😅😂😊❤ So proud of you and the lovely Madeleine on your continued successes.😊
Love your content, brother been following you for a while. I grew up fishing with my dad down in your neck of the woods just lost him back in September make as many memories as you can while you still have him around it’s a beautiful thing take care and God bless
Aron I enjoyed watching your video a I liked meeting your farther he seems to be a great person but most of all he likes to fish tell hi for me thanks well I hope you all have a good vacation
Nice chance to see you enjoy one of the gorgeous areas of the Keys. I was in Key largo in 2021 and had a great time at a campsite. Wish you the best of luck with everything you do.
Snook tip from Tampa Bay, live chum is your best friend. Get em fired up almost any time/tide. You just need a lot of bait. Additionally, rarely do I use anything other than a bare hook and 30lb mono. If I need weight I’ll use a split shot at the top of my leader.
Nice man we just left the keys, stayed at Stockton island yacht club, ate food at the hogfish bar and grill and the docks! The tuna caprisse pizza was delicious along with a few delicious cocktails.
Hey Dibbs, really like your videos, glad to see a snook try, I am on west coast of Florida and they bite well at night around docks with lights. Good luck and stay cool!!!
Aloha. Your dad did you well! My dad was too busy growing up to take me fishing, but I took him out a couple times. Two mahi-mahi on a charter boat I volunteered on, and a couple slot reds off cedar key.
I have been to Lajolla a few times over the last 10 yrs and it is a great place! It def is a feel for the Old Fla Keys. The location is great bc you are right in the middle of Islamorada and near everything you need as far as grocery stores restaurants bars etc… I usually fish out of Bud n Mary’s marina so its very convenient for that. Its by far one of the nicest resorts in Islamorada. 👍👍 from me for sure!😎
Wow I actually just checked out of La Jolla today, I had been there since Monday the weather on Monday and Tuesday was very windy. I wish I would’ve run into you guys and I just missed the promotion for La Jolla, beautiful place, we stayed at the unit where you were using the BBQ.
Love fishing with my dad and I miss the heck out of fishing with my mom that has passed. For the snook if you can, size down on the setups. For a small reel for inshore take a look at Daiwa BG MQ 3000’s, they have 24 lbs of drag. 10 or 15 lb main line max and 20-30 lb leader. 7 foot medium action rod 8-15lb rated. I land 30in snook regularly and have my personal best of 43 inches on that size set up. They are extremely smart and have good eye sight. If they see that line at all it’s game over! The invite is always open to go for them if you’re ever in charlotte harbor area
I’m dying watching you wear that cast net like a jacket. That’s confidence bc after one throw you will be soaked if you load the net like that again. Y’all use huge nets in Florida. I just use a 5’ net for mullet or shad.
He loaded that net like that multiple times. The key is to make sure you shake it off really really good before you load it the second time. For that reason, I personally prefer the left-hand underhand throw.
Lived in Naples for many years and fished the 10,000 Islands area. For snook, we always used finger mullet, could never catch them on greenies. All the other fish eat the greenies though.
Up here in ft myers the water back in the mangroves gets pretty brown. We catch them on shrimp and pilchards pretty easily. Maybe its because they cant see us as easily.
I find snook are shy. If you can see them they’re really tough to get to bite. The other thing is you can present your bait 99 times and there’s not even a reaction and on the 100th time they hammer the bait. I always did my best at night. They’re definitely night feeders. Persistence , persistence , persistence ! Good luck !

Did they have their own ramp?
Thank you for this information. I know where I want to go now. Went to the keys last. Now I want to check this place out thank you so very much. And another awesome video thank you.
Fishing with Dad is the best. I already love this video.
Couldn't agree more!
Fish with your dad all you can. I lost my dad a couple of years ago. Like your dad, mine taught me everything about fishing, hunting, and the outdoors in general. Spend time with him Aaron. You won't be sorry.

You're a proper gent man. The authenticity of your channel is crystal clear.
As crystal clear as the water he provides from. I’ve been watching Aaron since day one and look forward to every Monday and super stoked when one is put out on random.
It's a pleasure to meet your Pop's. There's nothing like a Father fishing with his family.
Appears that he did you well 👍☝️🙏 Viva Cristo Rey ✌️
Amen! Thanks for watching
Enjoying life in paradise with the most important people in your life. Well deserved Capt.
That's defiantly your father, you both have that distinct giggle. Time fishing with family is time well spent Aaron.
Hey there A Aron, I'm a 59 year old father with a 28 year old son, and I absolutely love to see stuff like this. Treasure your time together. We all know how short life is. Peace my brother.

Some of my fondest memories are fishing with my Dad. I miss him. Cherish the time you have with your Dad.

Keep on living life 😎
Awesome! Nothing better than fishing with your dad. That place is amazing.
Most genuinely kind person that I watch on RUclips.
That place looks super cool! I understand what you mean about that old style vibe. Florida is all about that for me in my memories! ✌️👌♥️
Bonus video! So cool to spend time with your dad. Memories that are priceless. I lost my dad when I was younger, would give anything to have the opportunity to fish or hunt with him.
Watching your dad flip under those mangroves, I could tell he has a SaltWater Soul. Great memories.
I don’t have any sons but my dad always took me fishing regardless if it was fresh or salt. We lived in KeyWest and up and down the east coast since he was a navy man. I have two daughters and both understand fishing because I always took them and even now we go bass fishing and catfish fishing. It’s a love and respect of the outdoors that you pass on when you take the time to show them. 😎
Thanks for introducing Mr. Kevin to us.😊
So nice watching you & your dad having a great day together
Thanks so much!
Fishing with dad is the BEST!!! love this video

This just seems like absolute Heaven to me. Out there like that and fishing with your dad. Absolutely beautiful.
Always an intriguing adventure from a 'Real pair to draw to.' 🤠
Great way to grill fish, I’ll have to try it out on Crappie since we live in Kansas!
So cool to have your Dad there. Enjoy every minute you can find to fish with him, it goes by too fast.
Awesome seeing fishing with your father! Thanks for the extra video!
Utilize the 3 P’s when trying for the snook… Points, Pockets and Passes. Current with the points and passes is always a plus. Good luck! 😎🌴🍹
I was wondering when the 6 P saying got reduced to 3. Never heard that one for snook, just foresight haha.
So good to see you are having a good time with family in this paradise. Thanks!
Easiest way to catch snook, hit dock lights at night! Live shrimp free lined or little greenie, can use little doa paddle tails also
A large sliver and red Zara Spook is my favorite for Snook early and evening time! Have a blast and thanks again for all y’all do!
Treasure the time with your father.
I was barely getting to know mine when he was killed in a logging accident. I miss him!
I treasure every minute, so sorry to hear that
So sorry memories are precious 🥲
Great to see you fishing with your dad! I grew up fishing with my late grandfather and my dad which are amazing memories! I'm now taking my grandkids fishing whenever I can which is much different living in rural West Texas!
Man am really loving this video your Dad is the best Dad Mr Young...trust mi i appreciate even greater #GOD BLESS ONUH!

Used to go there as a kid every summer. I wanna go back. So many mangos off that dock.
Glad to see you fish with your dad . Enjoy all the time with him as you can. Great video and eats of course.
Bonus Video day! AQUAMAN and family, outstanding. 😊 P.S. Stayed their last mini lobster season. ❤ great place
Your small boat is just about perfect for this type of fishing. Great job.

Miss the days in the lagoon!

I remember the place having more trees. I bet millions have experienced true key life staying at La Jolla Resort.
Didnt know there was a La Jolla in florida - vacationed in the town in Cali, same easy going beach vibe
It’s a sweet spot
I just had my dad down in Florida too, I know for sure how much fun yall had! Great video as always!
Pop NEEDS to talk more, what a handsome gentleman !!!!!!
Fishing with Dad. 👴🏻 Priceless !
That place looks really relaxing!

Another great show, thanks so much. OFBs at work, enjoying it!
Finally a fishing video

Hi pal just got back from the sunset Inn across the road,beautiful place there.Gona try la jolly next time .cannotvwait to get back,😊
Wow, you really do an awesome job of mixing up the content! Well done, it's great to fish with family.
Glad to see you back.
Lived in Naples for many years and fished the 10,000 Islands area. For snook, we always used finger mullet, could never catch them on greenies. All the other fish eat the greenies though.
That’s a really nice day!

Crystal clear water intimidates me, especially for snook
Family fun
Indeed!
Nice video Aaron,very chill.🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’ve stayed right by that resort a couple of places down great area to be in!!
I find snook are shy. If you can see them they’re really tough to get to bite.

Persistence , persistence , persistence ! Good luck !
That’s how it seems, learned a ton. Was not waste. Thanks for the tips!
Aloha. Snook remind of steelhead.
That marked channel is probably the crocodile drag over, looks like you stopped at what we used to call the engine block pass
Thanks for sharing sir
Most welcome
Popps motel in Key Largo was set up similar (Old Keys)….truely miss those times. Tight Lines 😎
Best snook fishing day I've had here in Belize was 9 snook and only 1 under 30"! Great video hope you get some one of these days🤞🏻
Wait a minute! A vacation for you living in Key West is to go to Islamorida?
A short getaway yea it’s perfect!
