Love it all. Deep dropping and wahoo. 🤘👍🤘 Awesome work
next video is wahoo, and hope to be doing some deep drop soon!
I don’t own a boat nor go fishing but, I am thoroughly enjoying every one of your episodes! You’ve got me close to entering the water to spear fish but… then you show a shark 🦈 and my fear takes over 😂 stupid “Jaws”!
Haha they aren’t what discovery channel makes them out to be! It’s a ton of fun!
More episodes brother! We love it.
dedicating more time to it! you guys are awesome!
Thanks for your videos. It's understandable that you've got to pay the bills or there won't be any videos. You seem very honest and humble to reality and I appreciate that the most!!
appreciate that! going to make an effort to keep vids coming weekly! thanks for the continued support!
Your vids are worth the wait Capt!
really appreciate that! lots more to come! getting back to it!
Another commercial deep drop video would be awesome. Also, maybe you could breakdown the gear and some tips on looking for spots? Love the vids 👍💪
X2
for sure! im definitely craving a deep drop trip! hopefully that will be one of the next vids! thanks so much!
Great Prep Work Video and Awesome Instruction Capt Aaron. You're Killing It As Usual! Tight Lines.
thank you sir!
Good stuff.....like your videos....simple and well explaind. Keep up..👍
really appreciate that!
Good to see you back! Bait rigging vids are always good to refer back to!
was hoping to have a swordfish vid to go with it but you know how that goes!
Good to be busy. Good to see you back
yes indeed! no complaints! but more vids coming right up!
your videos are always a delight. no pressure to do any more than you can. that said a cobia trip would be cool to see!
happy to hear that! and cobia are starting to show up so that shouldn't be too far out!
I really liked this video. I always grew up just bottom fishing with a basic knocker rig in the gulf up towards the Steinhatchee area, so all this is new to me and I really appreciate you doing some of the “how-to” videos! It’s hard for me to find videos that show step by step what people do to prep their baits for the trip so this really helped. Thank you!
happy to hear it! I really enjoy learning so I try to do my best to help others learn! thanks for taking the time to share and glad you like the vids!
@@KeyWestWaterman can’t wait to see more!
Thanks for taking the time to give us some rigging how to.
of course! thanks so much for watching!
Spearing some cobia will be nice😁 but grateful you got in some charters in...is about time..keep it up💯🔥👊
yes very happy to be working when so many others are out of work! will be out on the cobia grounds soon!
Always nice to see a new vid. Saw you in town a couple weeks ago but you looked like you were on a mission, cool anyways.
haha! yea when I get in the zone I might as well have blinders on! say hey next time!
Thank you Aaron !!
This was a very interesting video. I have been getting ready to start swordfishing and started rigging bonito and mahi bellies, brined and freezed them for the season.
I've never seen anybody rigging the mahi belly with the hook on the outside but it make a lot of sense and definitely leaves more hook exposed therefore higher hook up ratio.
I will start riggin them like that too.
Thanks again for the instructional videos.
As soon as I can afford it I will book a charter with you !!😁
Good luck with all your charters.
lol be careful sword fishing is the best and worst thing you'll ever do! haha. but yea I really like riggin them that way I have alot better luck! I look forward to it! thanks for watching!
I look forward to these updates more than any other channel I follow. I love hearing about blocking out dates for new content but I know that comes at a cost. Thanks for what you do Capt. Will continue to promote and support however I can
really appreciate the love! I really do enjoy filming and communicating with you guys!
Cobia dives would be awesome and APs if you see them vids are awesome and have learned a lot thanks !
you got it! should be happening soon! thanks so much!
Rig with the mahi belly looked great. Tight n solid. Catch them up next time. Have a great Jan n Feb. Commercial grouper open. Killing them.
haha for sure! counting the days!
Thanks for the rigging video- good stuff!
As far as videos for the future: I'd love to see some details on how you use your fish finder while deep dropping. Things like settings, types of transducers, what marks you look for while fishing for swords, snowies, etc. Also, how much you rely on marking bait or fish vs just fishing certain spots of structure, etc. Basically the hows and whys of picking one spot over another on any given day when it comes to what you see on the sounder.
Thanks again!
really appreciate that! all good ideas! will hopefully get some commercial deep dropping in soon! thanks so much!
First off, do what you gotta do. Second I would be interested in a new merc update, and why you went with them vs staying with yamahas. Thanks!
really appreciate that! and that is definitely going to be done! I got one of my 3 blades in waiting on the other, they were on a serious back order so its been a process getting them! but when I do Im doing more vids about the mercs!
Bro we’ve missed you 💪💪
I've missed y'all! haha more regular vids on the way!
Love to see some cobia and mahi fishing/shooting!
cobia episode coming up soon! mahi should be here in a couple months as well!
Hello from the snowy Germany ,a Mountainsnapper vid will be fine. Thank you, good luck and all the best ...
that is awesome! thanks so much for watching and you got it!
@@KeyWestWaterman Thank you very much, dont forget to cook, looks alway delicios.Keep going ...
Happy new year captain
happy near year! hope its a good one!
Thanks for the video lots of great info and seeing some of the prep work you do for a charter. I'm sure viewers understand having to pay the bills so make the money while it's there is my opinion. Quick question on the Mahi belly did you brine it prior to rigging it?
Thanks
amen! and no I did not, when I catch them I just vacuum them and freeze them fresh until I rig!
Video suggestions: here are some for consideration;
1.deep drop to include tackle set up, depth, species setup segment
2. Lower keys season review, best times of year for select species nd Leo by season
3. Yellowtail chum balling techniques
4. Dolphin fishing review, tackle set up, trolling and run and gun
5. Another spear gun review is always welcome
6. Segment on how you would manage a new client free diving spear fishing, would need aa client willing to allow you to film of course
7. Film a segment on the Yankee Capts next to you good for you and Greg. Videos on the YC are heavily viewed
8. Joint filming session with some other you tube fishing stars, i.e. Gayle force twins, Deermeatfordinner, bluegabe, etc...
really appreciate taking the time to leave this! def will put them on the list! hoping to get some good conditions for a deep drop trip soon!
What I want to see every thing is awesome don’t change anything hope to see more thanks for all the feedback you’ve awesome
really appreciate that!
everyone has a fishing channel, YOU have a spearo channel! but I do like the tips videos. Spear more fish everyday!
lol happy to hear it! thanks for sharing and watching!
Never caught a sword before
Will definitely trying dat rig
its alot of fun! but superrrrr boring if you don't catch one lol
Thanks for the how to capt. Planning on being down there in July any tips on depth to target those swords?
of course! my lucky depth is 1520 - 1590! majority of my swords caught in that range!
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for the tip capt.
How much do you charge for those rigged deep drop baits? Hopefully will have beastmaster 9000a this week. Headed to Stuart. Like to see more episodes on bottom fishing 🎣 with bottom rod or electric reels. Trolling episodes too if you do those. Awesome video once again. Tight lines.
I don't sell em, don't have alot of time to rig baits, normally do it the morning of a trip! but I know alot of baits shops do now! and more on the way for sure! as always thanks for watching sam!
@@KeyWestWaterman what weights should I get to deep drop from 200 ft and beyond ,sir
Assortment of weights?
@@sammcvea1069 all depends on current i fish from 2 lbs to 10!
@@KeyWestWaterman should I get a 2 and 10, or should I get a2,4 6 8 and 10. Lol
Yes that’s what I’m talking about!
lol stupid swordfish
Questions: I assume this would also be effective as a nighttime bait, in place of squid right? Also, if I made these in the morning, how would you personally keep them fresh until that evening? Thanks.... Chris
honestly not sure, everyone tells me nighttime is a whole different ball game but I don't see why they wouldn't work. and I just keep them on ice is all.
Where can I find info about setting up a charter with you? I’m in Stuart, usually go to big pine several times a year.
there is a link to my website in all the videos descriptions! I spent alot of time in Stuart as a kid with my dad! love that place!
What’s your opinion on long a sword bait is still good? A few drifts, a few trips being frozen in between? Do you only use fresh(never frozen) baits?
I like to think fresh matters, but I once used a cobia belly that we thawed and refroze 6 times just to piss off my good friend Mathew Conrad and I landed a sword with it. but with that being said if I fish a good fresh bait and it doesn't get touched, I will freeze it and save it. normally only once.
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for the info. We seldom get mahi where we are in Nauru, so wahoo belly flaps are our best sword bait so far. I keep freezing and using till it gets too Skanky, then replace it. I’m not a huge fan of rigging a fresh bait while out on the boat bobbing around.
@@adammcgeorge3538 thats surprising! figured y'all would get lots of mahi running through! would love to visit Nauru some day!
@@KeyWestWaterman cmon over brother! No covid and plenty of fish!
👍Nice
thank you!
thank you for sharing
What knot are you tying for swivel to line?
its all crimps all the way to a wind on. no knots until I get to the braid which is a bimini twist.
I put a hook thru my hand big dog, I had to get nail cutters To get that thing out, I was wade fishing an I had like a 5 pd trout I wasn’t wearing gloves
yikes! thats no fun!
@@KeyWestWaterman dude I had a hook in my hand, a fish dangling on the line, and the pole in my right hand. I amaze myself sometimes that was gut wrenching experience. I was chest deep, I ran across those oyster beds, I had to get tetanus shot an everything
Every time that fish would kick I could feel the meat tear between my thumb and pointer finger
I like rigging an stuff like that
glad to hear it!
That is the best sword fish bait
def my fav!
Do you ever have problems with squid 🦑 chewing up the baits?
absolutely! some days they destroy everything you put down. but you know what eats squid...
Dropping
thanks for watching!
I like to use barracuda belly i fish in puerto rico any Mahi are sold and your not allowed to sell barracuda but they are great bait
