    I enjoyed this episode. Surprisingly, the episodes with no fish landed are just as enjoyable. I've been chasing steelhead for the last few years and it's a lot like that. Right now I'm at about 80 hours of fishing over 60 outings to the river over the course of a whole year and no Steelhead landed.

    Drop that bait back and feed that swordfish, either open up spool or pull forward for 10-15 seconds. Set that hook by backing up and using 25lbs of drag for 15-20 seconds. Get all the scope out. Great video and the bite looks amazing

      Hi Marge, "as long as I can put a line in the water".... well, remember it's a pretty expensive sport!
      Even a handline from the dock can be expensive, first you have licence costs, line, hooks, sinkers, bait etc.
      Luckily here in Australia if you are a pensioner like me, your pension card is a "free fishing" card.
      I love every chance I get to going out fishing with my brother, he works with Northbridge Marina in Sydney Harbour and has 3 boats, and the game fisher has been in the family for 15yrs.
      Happy fishing and tight lines!

    I realized the constant Forward Motion keeps tension on them but it seems to also line the bill up with the line . They start swinging a lot at the surface seems like they're more likely to break off or cut the line . Just an observation . I understand why you want to keep tension on them especially while you're fishing by yourself .

    I love fishing by myself, if someone doesn't share the passion, it's almost a chore fishing with them. I've taken so many people fishing and regretted it as soon as we're out on the water. My best times are by my onsie.

    Do you get compensated at all when a charter cancels? What reasons do they supply for canceling?

      depends on the situation, but normally keep the deposit which is $200

    that little one just wanted to be on Utube. you need a come-a-long or a small block and tackle to help you load fish when alone. if you know of any really old houses? look for the old window sash's those make good weights I just don't know if they are heavy enough for what you need. stay safe thanks for the mini vacation

      @Key West Waterman great idea to try and make your bait struggle against the weighted jig head. I'm going to remember that trick

    I always see outriggers on the boat but never seen you use them, is there a reason? More so would like to see an outrigger setup from you on a trolling spread

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  2 года назад

      really only use them for mahi season sometimes. we've had a lackluster mahi season the past few years so I haven't put them out. rigging trolling baits has been a waste of time

    there's probably something to old freezer burned baits. think what happens when you defrost frozen fruit. the freezing process breaks a bunch of cells and makes them ooze. You'd think the same thing would happen with fish. more oils and smells coming out that let the fish find it easier and from further distances.
