Now if I could carry all that bait on my kayak, it would be great. That's where the jigs come to play. A couple of jigs and some deep diving lures...swooosh! Nicely done Capt.
It's amazing how you're not even a mile off the beach and you're are already catching nice size grouper. When I have to go at least 30 miles offshore to catch decent size grouper.
We were fishing a variety of reefs, some shallow patches along the south Palm Beach coast, some 70-130 spots off Boca, and some deep water wrecks off Pompano. Hope that helps....Capt Mike
Capt. Mike, great information as always, a really good segment! Best Salt Water Fishing show around! Makes this Kentucky boy ache for some Summer sun & saltwater! ;) Thanks
Shallow patch reefs just a few miles north of Boca Inlet off Spanish River just off the lifeguard towers in approx 30 ft. You can't miss them. Deeper reef lines in approx 60-70 ft and 90-110 ft run up and down the coast, all clearly marked on charts and relatively easy to find on sonar and chart plotter. Artificial wrecks off Boca and Pompano Beach, all on charts as well. Capt Mike
Yes, it was a lane snapper....we had a couple baits down and I mistakenly thought that one was baited with a grunt, good eye....circle hook size varies depending on bait size, anywhere from 5/0 to 8/0 for grouper and up to 11/0 for AJs. Regarding mangroves, now is the time. Night is best with steady chum slick and current is a must. Fish are in 30 to 90 feet right now. Capt Mike
When reef/wreck fishing for snapper, its rare we use live gogs. We certainly didn't on this episode. We will however use fresh gogs cut in half. Killer mutton snapper bait! Capt Mike
Homework...homework...homework! Study local charts very carefully. Use your electronics to the fullest while always keeping an eye on sounder and chartplotter so you get a real understanding of the lay of the land. Read Florida Sport Fishing Magazine. Network with other fishermen on social networks, forums, etc. Finally, spend more time on the water. Nothing can beat time on the water. Capt Mike
Love your vids. Being a lawyer with two young kids and two great danes, you're as close as I'm getting to offshore for some time. If you ever want to fish the lake behind our house in Coral Springs (lol) - let me know!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate your support however one thing that I have certainly learned, it is impossible to make everyone happy all of the time. Capt Mike
Trust me - I wouldn't miss a second with the kids for the best snapper bite... a hot mullet run tarpon bite, maybe. I'm already out-fished by my 4 year old at this point.
What do you intend to do with the reel? The different sizes offer varying line capacity so thats important. What species/venues do you intend to use the reel in/for?
Thanks for watching, trust me I have spent plenty of time with my two nephews fishing some lakes/ponds in your area. A few hold some solid peacocks and largemouths. Don't worry, time flies. Before you know it the kids will be grown up and you'll have plenty of free time.....Capt Mike
You mentioned in the rigging section of the video that you're using knocker rigs and the weight is seen right above the hook. But all the fish you caught, the weights were either tied on a loop ~2 feet up or were sliding sinkers above a swivel or stopper. When targeting grouper and AJ's with live baits, what is the best way to rig the weights? Thanks, love the show and the magazine!
We were using knocker rigs, along with fish finder rigs, etc. Its just coincidence what you end up seeing based on footage, etc. As far as live bait AJ rigs, we just did a show on that which will be airing later this summer. If you're serious about catching AJs, go with a 3-way swivel, 24" of 30 lb to the weight and 6-8 ft of 100 lb to a VMC 9/0 circle hook.
wow what a fish... what bait did u use for amberjack? where do u drop the bait? is it in bottom or middle water column? thanks before, i really love your show.. tight line!
+carlos bermudez Lots of reefs and wrecks in that area that hold lots of snapper and grouper. A great place to start is with a local fishing chart of the area. - Capt Mike

PJ Cole Catching a bunch of hogfish sounds great! Effective mutton snapper baits include live pinfish, and fresh ballyhoo plugs and goggle-eyes. - Thanks for watching. Capt Mike
Hi Captain Mike, just wanted to let you know that your advice was spot on. In September, My friend and I hit a reef 3 miles off of Tampa in 10 foot and limited out with 15+ inch mangroves in the first hour. We only had shrimp so, after we limited out, we caught some pinfish and other bait and found a small ledge around 4 miles offshore in 15 foot. We then proceeded to catch two keeper gag grouper a piece and release many others. Quite a colorful day in a 16 foot boat. Thank you very much for your advice. I also had a question... do you recommend the saltist 20 as a good reel that I could use for snapper and light grouper fishing farther offshore?
Nice to hear you had a solid day - awesome! The Saltist 20 is fine for light duty bottom fishing, etc. I would load it with 20-30 lb braid for maximum line capacity and sensitivity. Catch 'em up! Capt Mike
Hi Captain Mike, What size circle hooks did you use for those patch reef grouper? also do you have any tips to catch mangrove snapper off of reefs? I really enjoy reading your magazine and watching your shows as they are very interesting and informative. I am 16 and I really like fishing for reef fish with light tackle. PS... are you sure that wasn't a keeper lane snapper that you caught that nice A.J. on? Thank you very much, Sean
I've been watching all your videos to get tips here and there because were just getting a boat and help works. Only thing is we don't know where to go. Any help with that? Would really like to know where these patch reefs are out of Hillsborough where you've been catching these groupers and kings? If not, how do you find them?
How do you like the diawa big game single speed? I'm thinking of getting one for tarpon, kingfish and sharks from piers. How do you think it will hold up
and dont live there, thats my grandparents house but i go there all the time, its the one with the turquoise color boat and the small aluminium tracker
There is a ton of reef down there. Grab a chart and find some big patches in the depths you're looking for. Don't be afraid to experiment a little deeper as well. Bring plenty of chum! - Capt Mike
+malek gallichio The larger ones do have worms. Personally, I do not eat them but I understand they are not bad. I have some guys who are less privileged and take every one of them to feed their family/friends. - Capt Mike
Thank you for watching. Yes, you can certainly get away with it, however ultra-thin braid is an absolute must because it has so little stretch and such incredible sensitivity. Stick with 30-50 lb. braid for most nearshore/offshore applications. Don't forget a mono or fluorocarbon top-shot in the 50 lb. class. - Capt Mike
Good morning and thank you for watching. Please keep in mind that Florida Sport Fishing TV airs weekly on cable television. We use You Tube as an avenue to share those videos, and we include all of the commercials. You may be accustomed to watching fishing shows on You Tube that are only online shows, so they contain very little if any commercials. - Capt Mike
For vertical jigging here locally around South Florida, I like a 6'0" rod rated for 100-200 grams jigs and a Daiwa ISLA 5000 loaded with 30-50 lb. Diamond Braid.
nico shaner The current winter months leading into spring as well are excellent for reef fishing. This episode was shot in the spring. Thanks for being a fan! - Capt Mike
poopy catfeet There are places in Florida where the water is very stained, tea colored actually. On the other hand, we also have crystal clear blue water as you can see. - Capt Mike
The water is usually that coloraround the mouth of rivers. Miami doesn't have as many rivers I their area making their water a much deeper blue. And since the gulf stream runs through their it gets very deep very fast. And the water is very warm. Here in Alabama the water is a very dark brown getting a dark green as you go out farther, and you have to go out very far to find that deep blue water.
Along the Gulf Coast you may never see them, however your odds increase as you pass the 50 mile mark. Plan on burning some fuel if you're serious about finding dolphin. - Capt Mike
+Kyle Share You can troll up and down the beach in 100-200 ft for wahoo, or kite fish on the edge in the same death where you find clean blue water with current. Regarding hogs, around here the spear fishermen are the only ones who catch hogs and truthfully, our stretch of coastline isn't exactly grouper heaven, I would go south to the reefs off Miami. - Capt Mike
Regarding this particular episode its many seasons old. We have since come a long way and reduced the number of partners. Thanks for watching and don't give up on us. - Capt Mike
Hi Jonny and thanks for watching. On that particular day we fished some shallow reefs off southern Palm Beach County and some wrecks in northern Broward County. - Capt Mike
Deuce Duffield King mackerel are strong flavored, they are excellent for smoked fish. Some guys soak them in milk prior to grilling steaks. - Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike
Deuce, a lot of people don't like them, I love them on the grill with lemon pepper or McCormicks grill mates. You have to grill them. They do not taste good fried. They are a member of the Tuna family.
My name is Aaron per ! I am developing a Bonita lure for high speed Wahoo trolling that you should check out I will send you Some you do not need weights for these
I will be down in pompano for the Bluewater movement summer series in May I am the only kayaker in the tournament I will bring the lures down with me they should be done by then

We too, are conservationist, however as long as you follow local rules/regs, there really is nothing wrong with harvesting a few fish for the dinner table. Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike
i am not conservative so at all i do that somethimes but i do as much return small fish if it is posible thanks kaptain mike for koment but groper is still alive when he hits surfice all kay but snapper too that is for diner there is lass groper than ever
Now if I could carry all that bait on my kayak, it would be great. That's where the jigs come to play. A couple of jigs and some deep diving lures...swooosh! Nicely done Capt.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate your support. We were fishing large baits, snappers and grunts, just off the bottom in about 250 feet. Capt Mike
It's amazing how you're not even a mile off the beach and you're are already catching nice size grouper. When I have to go at least 30 miles offshore to catch decent size grouper.
Got to love South Florida buddy. We're blessed with the Gulf Stream.
Love these videos I'll put up with the ads any day !!!
Thanks Chris.

well i wanted something that i could use from tarpon and barracuda in the canals, to fishing bonitos offshore, so what size would you recomend??
I am heading of fort lauderdale this week, any tips for tactics? Fishing over patch reefs probably, i have a medium heavy spinning outfit available.
+Marc Webb Call me, Ill fill you in on the details. - Capt Mike 954.942.7261
How far before the wreck do you start your drifts? and how far do you pass the wreck before you pick up your lines?
All depends on current/speed of drift, I want to make sure I have baits in the strike zone for at least 100-200 yards on either side of the structure. - Capt Mike
that was definitely a lane snapper you caught that AJ on... not a grunt.
+Bryce Doughty Correct, sorry for the error. - Capt Mike
You guys should really go down to the Keys or the Middle Grounds and go catch some Hogfish (Hog Snapper). And what do you use to catch Mutton Snapper.
PJ Cole Catching a bunch of hogfish sounds great! Effective mutton snapper baits include live pinfish, and fresh ballyhoo plugs and goggle-eyes. - Thanks for watching. Capt Mike

For fishing out of hillsboro... How far out for the nearest reefs for snappers and what not? Depth? Thanks!!! Keep it up!
less than a mile in 75 ft.
In Tampa you will need to go further to get in 75ft
Love the show so much but how do you find these natural reefs
I've been watching all your videos to get tips here and there because were just getting a boat and help works. Only thing is we don't know where to go. Any help with that? Would really like to know where these patch reefs are out of Hillsborough where you've been catching these groupers and kings? If not, how do you find them?
How do you like the diawa big game single speed? I'm thinking of getting one for tarpon, kingfish and sharks from piers. How do you think it will hold up
If you want big game come down to oahu north shore for big game ulua is one big game and yello fin tuna is one to come down to oahu
Great videos as always!!!!
Just sent you an email, Capt, with a few questions.....thanks
one question, im gonna buy this reel but the only sizes are 20, 30 and 40, which one should i get?
and dont live there, thats my grandparents house but i go there all the time, its the one with the turquoise color boat and the small aluminium tracker
L on the keyboard is your friend during ads
Hey Capt Mike, any good patch reefs around 30-40 ft that you know in Miami? Looking to catch snapper primarily and wouldn't mind groupers too
There is a ton of reef down there. Grab a chart and find some big patches in the depths you're looking for. Don't be afraid to experiment a little deeper as well. Bring plenty of chum! - Capt Mike
Andres Bermudez find a reef an us a phrase that goes like this if you chum they will come
I love fishing grouper, snapper and mahi mahi but dont know any wrecks can you help me out?
+deryck de man Check out the reef locator under the resources tab on www.floridasportfishing.com. - Capt Mike
Capt. Mike, when you pull the AJ on board, you haul it up by holding onto the gill. Isn't that bad for the fish? Thanks!
+malek gallichio It is bad if you intend to release the fish. - Capt Mike
Oh, so you were keeping the amberjack. Are they good to eat or for bait? If you eat them, how do you cook them? Also, don't they have worms?
Thanks Capt.
+malek gallichio The larger ones do have worms. Personally, I do not eat them but I understand they are not bad. I have some guys who are less privileged and take every one of them to feed their family/friends. - Capt Mike
Oh, ok. Thanks for the info Capt. Mike.
hey! nice video and what reel do you use for the first grouper?? looking forward to a response from you guys.
Could a regular 20-30 pound spinner rod and reel be fine for speed jigging?
Thank you for watching. Yes, you can certainly get away with it, however ultra-thin braid is an absolute must because it has so little stretch and such incredible sensitivity. Stick with 30-50 lb. braid for most nearshore/offshore applications. Don't forget a mono or fluorocarbon top-shot in the 50 lb. class. - Capt Mike
Right down from LHP marina? Yup, thats me. Which house are you in?
Any tips on Mahi Mahi out of Islamorada?
Look for frigates or well formed weediness way offshore. - Capt Mike

Opinions on fishing in Sarasota, Fl? Thanks
+Connor Shoemaker Solid. - Capt Mike
What size are the vertical jigging rod and reel
For vertical jigging here locally around South Florida, I like a 6'0" rod rated for 100-200 grams jigs and a Daiwa ISLA 5000 loaded with 30-50 lb. Diamond Braid.
What month were you guys out there on these patch reefs?
nico shaner The current winter months leading into spring as well are excellent for reef fishing. This episode was shot in the spring. Thanks for being a fan! - Capt Mike
you used a lane snapper for bait to catch that aj is that legal?
Truthfully, the answer is no. It is not legal to use an undersize snapper for bait.Not sure how that thing ended up on the hook. - Capt Mike
I thought florida had dark murky water. this video is of crystal blue water. can someone clarify this for me?
poopy catfeet There are places in Florida where the water is very stained, tea colored actually. On the other hand, we also have crystal clear blue water as you can see. - Capt Mike

Gulf side is really dark and murky . The Atlantic side is pretty clear in a lot of parts .
florida keys ????
going out of venice fl u know how far till u start o see mahi

Any good fishing spots in pompano?

Any good spots in boyton?
Lots, what are you looking to catch?
Yep too many commercials man
Old episode, new episodes have fewer commercials. Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike
Why do you have to keep interrupting the commercials with dull fishing clips ?
I love all these adds! shame you have to keep intterupting them with little snippets of a fishing prog

Hi Jonny and thanks for watching. On that particular day we fished some shallow reefs off southern Palm Beach County and some wrecks in northern Broward County. - Capt Mike
Thank you that's really close to me I live in Palm beach gardens
And great vid really enjoyed it
do king mackeral taste good?
Deuce Duffield King mackerel are strong flavored, they are excellent for smoked fish. Some guys soak them in milk prior to grilling steaks. - Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike
Deuce, a lot of people don't like them, I love them on the grill with lemon pepper or McCormicks grill mates. You have to grill them. They do not taste good fried. They are a member of the Tuna family.
Really? I thought mackerel were their own family
Venomous villain tuna are in the makeral family
Michael Campbell honestly I had no idea
where are u fishing ?
cindy friel From south Palm Beach County to northern Broward. Thanks for watching - Capt Mike
I only watch these videos so I can hear adult men screaming like children who've just caught their first fish. Only in Murrica.
Live goggle eye is a waste on those fish in shallow water.

please stop shoving ads down people's throats, -_- if I can thumbs down multiple times I would!
that lane snapper is undersized and can't be used for bait
Guilty. one of us clearly made the mistake of dropping it down when we shouldn't have. Good eye! - Capt Mike
its alright
gropper is out off size you should returned him in see you kill fish on the end we will have nothing to catch
We too, are conservationist, however as long as you follow local rules/regs, there really is nothing wrong with harvesting a few fish for the dinner table. Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike
i am not conservative so at all i do that somethimes but i do as much return small fish if it is posible thanks kaptain mike for koment but groper is still alive when he hits surfice all kay but snapper too that is for diner there is lass groper than ever
maro kriste
Learn to speak English before you start criticizing the guy for keeping a legal sized fish.
