Longer realistic edits? Yay or Nay?
Yay!
Yay....
Yay!
Yep. Made me feel a bit normal, seeing you make all those casts without a fish!
Elias, Mate, your care for fish mortality is astounding. Thanks for taking care of those critters.
Not a fan of the longer edits, but I’ll still watch.
Yay. One of the reasons I find your content so enjoyable is the lack of bullshit. No clickbait or gimicks. Less edits would provide an even more reallistic portrayal of the grind that fishing can be. Keep up the great work man.
Thanks 👍
100%
And none of that bs youtube drag to have a fish fight for forever. There's another content creator here that had a half hour video where he only caught one fish, which was a ray that he fought for way too long, and it still was only 10% of the video. The rest of it was dumb filler of the water and dramatic music,
@@lee8287 There are several guys that have the drag set so light its clicking while they reel..i cant watch unrealistic content.
there killing fish to make content @@PaulyV56
Elias, whoever says you cant fish without a (you name it) is just mad at themselves. You dont have to prove anything to them. The "proof is in the pudding" as we say here in NC. I started fishing when I was in elementary school, and I still learn something from every video. Keep on being a legend, we appreciate ya 🤟
Your Florida Keys vids are so, so good. You should extend your stay and give us a few more. Tight lines, you keep making them, I’ll keep watching and loving them. Thanks for all your hard work.
Going to make a second trip in February 👍
Nice to see you using light bait keeps us northerners in anticipatiion for nicer weather
You got balls throwing that little stuff. I tried that fishing boccachicca bridge in key west and it didn't turn out well!
Anyone who thinks this guy needs a fish finder is delusional. He’s a human fish finder. Stop the hate! Elias is the best on here for no BS fishing. Great video Elias. Whatever is worth your time as far as editing goes. Either way is fine.
Aloha. I agree. The guy could catch a fish in a mud puddle after yesterday’s rain. I’ve been watching him for eons. Took me a little while to warm up to that New York thing, as I was living in Hawaii att.
@@adamyoung480 he sounds like home to me.
I use the old „Roostertail“ spinner‘s in yellow. They work great!!! While surf fishing in the panhandle(Florida) I caught a fish on EVERY cast! Most were ladyfish but they were so much fun! Jetty and pier fishing resulted in multiple species. Fish hit other colors but the yellow was a non miss. They even out fished jigs……Give one a try if you can find them. Cheers
Rooster tails are kind of my secret weapon in the salt. Mackerel love them especially during low light conditions. It is too bad they rust shortly after they touch saltwater. I want to make my own but I can't find stainless steel blades.
Look like fun under bridges. Wind has been crazy! Took bunch of my combat buddies out to Vandenberg and wore them out on jacks and groupers. Looks like next Sunday might lay down.
Nice vid!
Great video, love the action large or small. I like the longer video showing reality of the day rather then wide world of sports shorts.
Great adventure, thanks for bringing us along.
Cheers
I know it must be a ton of work but loved this every cast edit. Awesome content as always.
Paddle tail fowls are usually caused by two things. A bite you didn’t feel and fishing vertical. When fishing vertical if you invert the tail it will drastically reduce this especially on the softer plastics.
Those Chubs taste great! I never knew until I caught a huge one with my old Thai business partner and his wife fried it for use with their their Thai seasonings. It blew me away and was super fresh! Try one! If we didn't see it we wouldn't believe that you can use a minnow jig and a small crab to catch the fish you caught! Wow amazing!!
I actually think you could have stopped those jack that broke off. Just slightly lighten up on the drag. The fight might be a little longer, but it works man. Awesome video!!
Glad you had good weather down there!
You’re giving me ideas for our trip in April… thanks!
You are favored by the fishing gods no doubt.
It is enjoyable to watch you experiment with different lures.
You are a true sport fisherman, nice video
👍😎✌
It takes me a lot longer to watch an hour versus 15 or 20 minutes
I start and stop until I finish the video.
Thank you, Elias.
Thanks Elias
Like the Florids stuff but ready for more N.C. vids.
You remind me of my dad, he loved ultralight fishing... There were days he was the only one who caught fish, and often some of the most quality fish...
Yeah for my experience there, slack tide or slow are the worse! You have to present the lures WAY slower, or drop a long Carolina Rig with 3ft leader and fresh bait! You can also try the land area by the rocks next to the bridges! I've had luck like that as well. Sometimes bait fish tend to hang there.
Was a good refresher of a complete 45 minute shut down.
@@EliasVFishing oh and another color lure you should try that worked amazing down there is called "Beer Run" on the Zman DarterZ and MinnowZ! I crushed the Tarpons, Cudas, and Snook at Big Pine Key and also that area mutiple species!
Your fishing technique requires so much patience..I like your patience as well man.
I kayak fished for 7 years before I started using a fish finder this last fall. I primarily use it to find drops or structure and depth. With or without it, I still find fish and it beats any day in an office. My opinion, use what you can to your advantage. Thanks for the vid man.
Very nice video! 😀
Here in the Northwest, we are required to have single point barbless hooks on a lot of fish, so I gave up on trebles for single point siwash hooks on the lures. It seems to work just fine with easy release of the fish.
Aloha. I hardly use trebles anymore. Switch out all my top water, spoons, and spinners to siwash. Less fish damage, easier to unhook, and less potential piercings to me.
After having to remove a treble out of my foot, I now swap out all my trebles. Have not noticed fewer hook-ups and releases are so much quicker and easier on the fish.
Aloha. Also, I forgot to add, alot of the stock trebles that come with lures just bend out.
Keep em coming
How are you liking the ePDL for things like this? You lose the spot lock ability but still gain the ability to no think go forward or backward.
I like this. You show most of your casts from what it looks like, while still keeping a lot of action in the shots.
I love your videos! Im a truck driver that loves to fish! I been watching your videos, i want to get the 106 pdl in the spring god willing
You read my mind! I was just talking to a buddy about this... I want to try bouncing some crappie jigs near bridges/docks and see how well it does.
Im new to kayaking. I set up a 3 ft. Medium light ice rod for the kayak last night. Bridges. Bank casting.
Well done, sir. I’ve caught lots of inshore saltwater species on crappie jigs.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I like 20 lb flouro but have been using 17. I feel like I get a little advantage for more bites but have had some break offs. If I know there are cows I am comfortable w 25. If you are still there for a lil bit, DO TRY Spanish Harbor Channel Bridge, at least walk out from the south side. I personally have caught several snook and small tarpon. Have seen schools of BIG tarpon and HUGE cuda, 30-40 lbs. Fish the ocean side. And if you want to try another, no name key. 2 of my personal favs. Good stuff, keep them coming. I REALLY dislike yellow plastic, for salt water its white or chartreuse or a pearl mixed.
44:35 White Egret. We get them in NC, but not towards you. I see them around the Triangle.
That was a blue striped grunt!
Yea, he keeps making that mistake in his videos. Caught many of them throughout Florida and the Bahamas
Well done ... and an example of how multiple species will hit the same bait. How deep was the channel beneath the roadway?
Is that crappie sliders that youre using? I regularly use them on a carolina rig surf fishing on the alabama gulf coast. The green pumpkin with chartreuse tail and the white with chartreuse tail are my favorites
40:02 it’s one of those deceptive species. It’s actually related to grunts instead of porgies. Similar to west coast rockfish looking eerily similar to grouper, but part of scorpionfish family. Always enjoy watching your keys video, soon to be a legend down there! I can feel it❤
Yay. I’ve caught needlefish on fly gear. It is way less scary to handle one with a single J hook on a popper-dropper rig!
Staying out of the sun by being under the bridge spans is an added bonus IMO.
Yeah I believe those pork fish are related to the Porgy because like I said I live here in New York on Staten Island and I only got to go two blocks away to the nearest Pier during the summer months we get porgies up the ying yang talking about 2 to 3 lb class I use shrimp sand worms and clam
Elias man I would enjoy if you try no name bridge. I went to that bridge to fish and never caught anything, but I know it holds good stuff
You should try one of the Buggs lures. They are great. Although they are made with rabbit’s fur, many of the fish think it’s a shrimp. Reds, trout and flounder love them.
Wow! It bent out!
Thumper shrimp would be awesome there!
37:35 I have successfully fished slack tides in the lower keys and my best success then is in the mangroves. Mostly around Grassy and Sugarloaf.
rig the little jigs with the tail on the bottom. this helped for me.
Hey Elias! Have you ever fished the old submarine pens north of Key West/Boca Chica? Lots of different types of Snapper, Grouper and Grunt. Including... some decent sized Cubera Snapper!!! Give it a try! 😉
Never have - maybe in the future!
Nice
Elias, does your titan cooler have the rod holders attached to it or is that separate?
Great Great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊😊😊
The crappie jigs work really well when the fish are feeding on glass minnows though you do get broke off a lot.
Those few bridges below Long Key bridge seemed pretty slow for me. I have seen big snappers caught on live pinfish on them but for me it was Parrot fish and Angel fish using shrimp. Would be epic to see those caught on artificial lures! Chub on a jig..good job!!
Yeah Robert please stay away from those especially the Missouri-Ohio channel. No Good. There is no chance to get a limit of snapper there that push 20 inches especially with live Pilchards. I will be spending a month under there and probably sobbing because I am bored. Nobody wants to see that.
@@jasonfulton77 Only fished there a few times. The right bait makes a big difference. Thanks for the tip and good luck fishing.
Don’t have enough time to sit and watch full videos
Love these excursions. How about chasing tarpon, permit or bonefish in one edition?
Temps were too cold to grind the local tarpon. Lot of work for one or two bites
Hey Elias, your looking pretty comfy in that ePDL, Do you like it better than the 120 Auto for the Keys Fishing, Should be well enough to get back out next week I got all new plumbing,
I would pick the ePDL over my other kayaks for most fishing I do. But the Autopilot is king for sight fishing if that's your thing.
Was hoping you try for some sheepies around the bridges.
Theres a few sheeps on those keys bridges. I didn't see any this year but I wouldn't know where to get crabs for them there!
What island do you stay on during your trip? Resort or AirBnB? Thanks!
I’m curious what you could catch with some beef jerky. I bet it outfishes gulp or gummy sharks
Hello Elias! I’ve been thinking about getting a pedal-powered kayak similar to yours so I can have better control while I’m on the water. A curious question: do you mount yours on your car, or do you use a trailer?
Any kayak over 90lbs is a pain to cartop.
Truck bed or trailer access and weight pretty much becomes irrelevant if you know how to use a kayak cart (don’t get a scupper cart), kayak stand (optional) and straps to help you load it if needed.
I noticed the Dunleavey pro shirt.I found his stuff last year and bought 3-4 pro long sleeves and a few T-shirts and love them. Good quality sh#$@t.😎
Yay
The bird at 44:33 is a great white heron, a white form of great blue heron that is endangered and endemic to the Florida Keys. It was formerly considered a unique species, rather than a subspecies, and may one day be again.
Any issues with the tubro nozzle blowing out caulking?
I've given up using treble hooks changing them out on all my lures to single hooks. Would encourage others to do so. Yes, you miss more fish. But you also don't damage the fish you catch as bad. Thoughts?
Do you crush the barbs on all your hooks?
Good stuff...A quick tackle tip...With those light weight jig heads their hooks are seriously weak as you know..look for the heads they use for steelhead..The needed weights you want with a much better quality hook.....
For sure that’s a good tip. I grabbed what I could find locally before headed down.
The gray and black grunt you caught is actually a sailor’s choice, not a margate, they have a slightly different shape head, and no black in the scales.
25:08 What is that you're squirting on the plastic crab bait?
Yay!
Is that specific fluoro leader blue label or just the regular spool?
Blue label
I bet instead of jacks breaking you off it was more likely some big Spanish Macks cruising through there. They love zooming thru those bridge pylons especially when the tide is moving good.😎
What is your opinion in FL key with live or cut bait vs Artificial? thanks
There’s a good reason artificial isn’t very popular there.
@@EliasVFishing but in your personal opinion, what is more effective?
Never let a keyboard rambo harrasas you
Idk if you’ll see this but u should make a video with a silver kastmaster spoon!
Great Video enjoyed. Not sure why order channels believe talking 500 words a minute is necessary. Please make more... thank you
Is that the 7 mile bridge?
What lure did you catch that needle fish with?
Savage gear jerkbait forgot the name of it
What is your setup when throwing those light jigs?

kegiatan yang paling menyenangkan adalah memancing 👍🎣❤
🎣🤙🏼
I can’t remember if you did a catch clean & cook with a jack Crevaille ? I’ve always heard they’re bloody trash .
Cut one open once and it was oozing with worms everywhere. Haven't tried since. All things considered would probably never make sense to be a choice for me to eat.
@@EliasVFishingdont bother with jack crevalle. There waaaay too many other good eating fish out there. Yellow jacks are good especially for sashimi and you can never beat mangroves or sheepies for frying up!😎
👍
I've been thinking of trying some of my freshwater lures in the salt. I feel like whopper ploppers will destroy mahi on weeds and pots. Muskie spinners on tuna. Idk why I have never heard of people using anything like that. I'm almost certain the ploppers will be fantastic. I may even try trolling them
I've caught lots of huge and Juvenile Tarpon on Whopper Ploppers down there! Freshwater lures work great it's all about the presentation!
Who doesn't fish with a fish finder these days? Some stone age cavemen out there still wishing while they are fishing? lol Love the content!
What kind of fish is it?
Did you catch a crappie there?
What the hell was in the sky behind you in the beginning of the video??
parasail
Ya, I was wondering about that too. something on the lens?
Those black spots are probably trematodes. A stage in the life cycle waiting to be eaten by a bird to mature and start over.
Have to watch gor BEER BOTTLES TOSSED OUT OF CARS
Look I love your content 99.9 percent of the time but, I can crappie fish at home 😊
I think that crab lure might fish better if you rigged it to pull sideways instead of pulling it from its keester, just remember watching the crabbies swim, I`m just a Googan, so.
I’m surprised…you put on a crappie jig but didn’t catch any crappie!!! Why is that? 😂😂😂😂
could do w/o the 50 clips of your back hand casts. Def not an every cast/every fish edit.
Lane snapper
Houndfish have teeth,needlefish do not and are safe to handle.
Less is more.
the black spots are normal it happens when the fish gets older
