- Catch And Cook - Surf And Turf Mangrove Snapper.
Taking a break from the Tarpon because I am hungry. The winds are back up so decided to hit a very secluded spot that generally is protected regardless of wind condition. • Prospecting NAS Bay - ... . I was able to score some Pilchards which was a huge benefit. After launching, I headed to the dug out channels that were made for what must have been a planned residential area that did not get developed. I basically targeted the entrance ways as that tends to be where fish hang out waiting to ambush food getting flushed through. Even in bad conditions, I was able to pull in some pretty good Snappers.
For dinner, I made Mangrove Snapper on the half shell (Filet but leave the skin and scales on.) I am going to be doing some French Dip sandwiches so for the turf I chose a Top Round roast. Sides were a foil baked yam with butter and brown sugar, and a stuffed roasted bell pepper with onions, mushrooms, bacon, and rice.

I was a little pissed about you throwing that big fish back, but after seeing all of the other stuff you had planned !!!! Lol great catch and cook.
Back between 1978 and 1981 I rented the downstairs of a house on Osprey Ln just a few feet from where you launched your kayak from in this video. I fished and hunted lobster in those cuts and explored NAS Bay out of a canoe back then. You are making me homesick for the keys. I may have to tow my boat down there before long.
Things probably haven't changed much in that neighborhood. No real new developments down there. Just a bit more worn down. I doubt anything has been changed since the economy crashed.
Oddly enough, that's what I like about the lower keys from Stock Island to Big Pine. It reminds me of what it was like when I lived there...
Oddly enough, that's what I like about the Lower Keys between Stock Island and Big Pine. It reminds me of how laid back and quiet it was when I lived down there.
Wow, that's cool!
That's a gorgeous area. Great video, thanks. I will someday retire and be around water, somewhere.
LOL. Yea, I don't move anywhere not close to some fishy water.
Steve, good balance. Start with basic info and knowledge then catching, finish with pie. You keep it basic and are ready for the next outing. Good presentation.
You seem like a good guy. I don't usually like channels like this but the time you let those fish go because you already had what you wanted seemed to moved me. Here's my sub man.
keep what you eat for that day is a good practice. Unfortunately there are ppl who keep everything, put them in the deep freezer and repeat. Year goes by and now they wanna make room in their freezer for more fish. So not only did they not eat them, they killed the fish for nothing. That make me more mad than anything. So Steve letting them snappers go was the right thing to do.
Yea, I don't freeze fish for just that reason. Freezers are for chum and bait. LOL.
absolutely!
Key West Kayak Fishing that's easy for single people with no kids to say. I buy and keep lots of fish but it gets eaten. I don't live close enough to saltwater to just decide to go outside and grab a snapper for dinner. that's why a lot of people keep limits.
not to be disrespectful but there are so many fish that it hardly matters but i like to think when i let them go that i earn some cosmic karma from appreciating life
that's not a problem keeping your limit. When I go to the gulf. I catch my limit and bring it back to georgia. I'm talking about certain ppl who just keep just to keep. Maybe it's for bragging..who knows. I just know there are certain ppl who kill then dump them in the trash just to make room for more fish. it's just idiotic.
Beautiful view and beautiful location to catch a nice and healthy meal!
Thanks. It is my windy day hideaway.
Great videos Steve... I am officially addicted now! lol. Well done... keep going...
From all the catch and cook videos I saw so far, this is my favorite, literally made my mouth water!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it. The catch and cooks are pretty popular.
Delightful! Love that you only keep what you need😊
Great video. I love this setup where you're showing the steps to get ready.
Thanks. Wanted to change things up a bit. It fits my video about which kayak to buy. Storing one can be tough. That and the loading/unloading part can be less than fun.
You keep reminding me of the type of fishing I used to do in the keys I really do miss my beautiful keys thank you and keep the video's coming they are awesome tight lines brother
Man watching your videos makes me want to take my kayak out to the Gulf of Mexico to see how it is out there.
Right now, it sucks. Video watching time for a couple of weeks.
At first you came off as a shy man interested in fishing, now I know you're a pretty cool man. I like this channel
Here's a tip for you when cooking with butter. Add just a tiny bit of veggie oil to the pan with the butter. That way, your butter won't burn or turn brown when cooking fish or meats.
That is the way to do it! Looked so good !
another nice snapper video. Ive mentioned before how much your videos have helped me while down there, just returned from a couple weeks of vacation down there. thanks again for being so unselfish with helping people out. I posted a pic on your facebook page of a nice mutton snapper I caught out of that quarry near the sugarloaf jumping bridge. I lost several big fish in that quarry that I never saw. caught a few schoolmaster snapper and some mangroves. already counting down my days till next march...god I love it down there!
Good deal. I definitely need to hit that spot a little harder then. I wonder how deep that thing really is. Do like others do and use my videos as a bridge until you can make it back down. Glad you had a good time.
Love your videos man and your cooking show, looks amazing !!!
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
You living the life man . i live in miami and have fished the keys manny times im actially goin next week . Love your videos i can relate thats why im a new sub
You never disappoint🎣
I love it!! Take what you need and leave the rest! I hate it when people just take fish just to take it. If you only need one fish for a dinner than just one, if you're feeding a family of 25...than take 20 or so! Great video..
Can always freeze a nice one for another day.
I honestly thinks it's so funny you drive an EG hatch when you fish, most reliable cars ever.
Love doing this when I hit the keys, pulling up to a small sandbar or island and just nailing snapper all day. Nice video.
Same here. Find those deep cuts and have some fun.
that looks delicious! by far the best channel and makes the best catch and cook
Appreciate it Flexx. Thanks for watching.
Another awesome catch and cook, damn fine job sir
Thanks andrew. Glad you liked it.
Great as usual. Nice job on the pilchards right at the launch.
Thanks. Pilchards=catching.
Now you've got me motivated. Think ill catch the in-coming tide today. Good vid!!!
Good deal. That is the stuff that I like to hear about. Getting people out there fishing. Hope you did well.
Great little fishing video!
Glad you liked it. Nice fun fishing day.
Your videos make me so hungry. Keep up the good work!
hotshot19d why does he need a truck?
talk about a sharp knife!... looked really good!!
Thanks. Gotta keep my catch and cook game up to par. The two of you are bumping up the competition.
Brook, sharper than my mother in-laws tongue.
That bacon-mushroom-onion-rice mix looks amaz-balls. That's Steve for more awesome info and inspiration.
Bacon/anything= fantastic. Thanks for checking it out.
Great work Steve.
Thanks. Gotta keep rotating the species.
very nice plate you made
Great video!!! Awesome Surf and Turf!!! I had to go and make myself something to eat after watching this!!! Take care Steve and tight lines!!!!
LOL. Did you catch what you had. LOL. A lobster sandwich would go good.
Unfortunately not this time it was just a vegemite sandwich!!!!
Rodney Harris Aussie as mate
Great fishing, good eating, nice video. I love this channel. Thanks for the video friend.
Appreciate it El Gallo. Thanks for watching.
Ohhh maaaaan! I love catch and cook videos!
More coming.
Dinner? Dinner. Looks like DINNER!
Love all of these vids
Glad you liked them. Thanks for watching.
Doode i love your Videos :D Keep up the great work greetings from Germany :)
Got to love a good catch and cook!
Appreciate it. They are fun to make and you get to eat the results.
Always upgrades the trip.
Ratchet straps are awesome aren’t they! So useful and easy to use!
Randomly stumbled upon the video when watching monster bug wars...got hooked ;-)
That is a sweet fishing spot!!!!!
Yea, perfect sheltered spot.
yummmmmmy thanks for sharing.......
Just Great Episode brother👊Every body is Happy😀😀
Always looking to please the masses. LOL. Nom, nom, nom.
Hello Steve. I just got back from Sugarloaf Lodge and wow, you where not kidding. The winds have been terrible and are going to stay bad for a couple of weeks. Im planning another trip when things get better to Geiger Marina. I just found out they have RV's I can stay at with my family and they also rent Kayaks. Thanks again.
Yea, people don't quite understand why I keep mentioning the wind. It controls everything. Geiger key is a great place to stay if you want to enjoy the Keys in general and not the tourist stuff. Great bar/restaurant there as well. Always packed.
You're living the dream 🤙🏾
Thanks. I don't take it for granted.
shore fishing!!!! Good vid man.
Yup, every once in a while.
Steve that second snapper was nice!!! Food looks delicious!
Thanks. Yea, it was a chunker. Lucky dude that I already had one.
Awesome Video as usual.
Appreciate it. Thanks for checking it out.
love it. that looks supppperrr good I want fish now. good work :)
Get a few of those Crappies and cook them up.
definitley going to sometime
looks like a beautiful spot probably quiet ...working to get over that way water looks alot better in South Florida Crystal
Most of the time it is nice and quiet, but it is right at the end of the NAS runway so when the fighter jets do take off, you get full effect.
hell yeah help shake the rod up might can actually catch a Lil extra worth keeping out there.. lol not being a bateman
Great video!
Glad you liked it brutal. Thanks for watching.
Nice catch and cook video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it sanjeev. Eating leftovers tonight.
delish ! love your lifestyle, I'm stuck in cent fla ! lol
mannn you get some nice size mangroves... awesome vids...
They are around but tough to catch. Gotta have a plan.
Great one man show bro! Everybody thinks you need a little pick up truck, but you can do it with your little car.
The biggest benefit is that I can lock up all my stuff. Been doing it a while so have it down pretty pat.
nice Steve looking good on those eats.
Thanks Jordan. It came out really good. Tasty.
Good stuff man!
Appreciate it. Thanks for checking it out.
Very yummy.
That it was. Thanks for watching.
Another good video.
Appreciate it Paul.
love your videos, would really love to live in the florida keys myself, boating and fishing in the warm florida sunshine. Just can't afford to move or i would. Good luck with your tarpon quest, would love to see you hook into a 15o lb giant watch him pull you around the kayak for a few hours, lol
Just come for a visit. Yea, the big ones will start showing up mid-season. They can burn out faster than these younger ones though.
Nice dish!!!
Thanks. It was a good hearty dinner. Gotta have my beef.
yum good vid
cool video bro! content is great! keep it up! cheers from SoCal USA
Appreciate it HOWIE. I'm a NorCal guy. NCKA.
That's a big meal 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I actually paddled that day so figure i lost 10 pounds.
nice these look like the cuts on the other side of geiger marina. I've been eyeing these cuts, but that trespass sign has kept me at bay... hahah
Check out the description and I have a link to the video I made about the area. But yea, i think you are talking about the same spot. If so, there should be no issue as that side is lined with residentials.
I've done kayak loading dance many of times, LOL. I was just as ecstatic...
That is the line in the sand that has ended a lot of beginning kayakers future in the sport.
keep up the work
Amazing video and the food looked wonderful friend? :)
Man you make me want to move to Florida to go fishing
You obviously live in Key West! I can hear the chickens. My wife and I honeymooned there. Peace bro enjoy your videos.
That's a big ass steak .. very nice video sir
Thanks. It was actually a Top Round roast. I was going to be slicing it up for sandwiches.
LOL...Apple pie makes me happy too.
Nice video, I was in the keys 2 years ago and there are these TALL trees (conifers) there that I cant find the name of. If you look at minute mark 447 it looks like 2 of them way off in the distance, maybe those ate towers but they kinda look like those tall skinny trees . do you know what these trees are? Tks Mack
Where at, in the Key's, do you catch a wild apple pie? That's my kind of seafood.
Secret spot. Don't spread it around. Winn-Dixie. $4.
Again, great video. Bring some purple sweet potatoes when I come down.
LOL. Okay.
"A country boy can survive..." Ocean boys, too. :)
I grew up on a farm.
i want to get a kayak and head out sometimes with you bro
I like the fact you release the fish but brother I like my fish whole with the eyes yummy
Hello nice catch
huge mangrove snapper
Yea some great eaters in that spot.
nice video ✌
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Yummy, don't take more than you need. Good conservationism.
Yea, I am primarily a catch and release guy so most everything goes back. Some people just don't get that. Freezing fish is the devil.
Need to keep the education going strong.
Thank god you posted thought a shark got you.
logan thompson lol😂
Nah, if I get taken out, it will be by a tourist on a scooter.
Key West Kayak Fishing or a googan on a boat. lol
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome
Steve, I have the same kayak (Tarpon) in red and in this vid I see you have a keel repair/patch. Would you mind doing a vid on that repair? I'm getting to the point where I want to patch mine or reinforce it.
Here you go. ruclips.net/video/VD0pbY2iQuk/видео.html
i always wondered what those watery terrains near salt water beaches like there but the water is really really shallow, has lots of clay, and sandy areas, and its kinda like a marsh
Damn...you eat good!
wow thats beautiful where is that location at in 5:30 of video
I don't know why I always watch your food videos late at night and then get really hungry lol. Looks so good, I need to catch me some Mangroves. It's windy as hell up here too, think the next couple days it's supposed to lay down. Pretty sure your steak is still alive though hahaha
Yea, the night time munchies are hard to overcome by just having fast food options. Mangroves are my staple food fish. Love em. Thats a trick I learned. Eat the thinner parts and edges that night. The next day after I heat it up, it cooks it more and then the balance is just right. It's a steak strategy. LOL.
"This will probably piss some people off" Lol thats the way, only take what you need. Release the other fishes that you dont intend on eating
Right on! Big ones are the big breeders!
You got it.
Key West Kayak Fishing what do you think about "Vegetarians" 😂
Pissed me off but I understand
Shahrin Mathers theres more fish than humans, chill fami
hey love the catch and cook vids. are you going to do more where you cook right on the water like when you fried the fish and plantains?
Yea, i like to mix things up.
i love how you satisfy those weirdos. Lol. Hey Im coming down to South beach for a bachelor party. Any suggestions on fishing spots? We might come down to keywest.
Gotta keep them hanging around. LOL. Weird but they help. Fishing is great from south Florida all the way down to the Keys. The winds on the other hand can make things difficult. The bridges in the Middle Keys are always cool to fish.
Steve, what's the hook size you use for the Mangrove snappers?
nice man
Thanks for watching Klae.
Do you do any diving? I would love to see you do a Lion Fish hunt!
Video is extra clear. Did u change cameras? Well done. Love the catch n cooks.
On the water is a GoPro. At home it is a Panasonic G7. Had it for a while.
u getting snappers like that lol take me with u 😂
They are all over the place. Just need to figure out the right strategy. You'll get em.
lol thanks ill try,😎good luck on fishing
This is one of my favorite channels, when I retire (some day) I can only hope to have a life like yours. Also; how are you not 400 pounds? I simply breath around chocolate and I gain weight
MMMM.... You'r eatin' good .
Yup. And I have leftovers for tonight. Good stuff.
