    Hey guys thanks for tuning in and sorry for the wait!! Been crazy busy attending multiple shows throughout Feb. Just a reminder we’re having multiple sales on AvailGear.com
    Our performance fleece hoodies are on sale $10 off and we have some performance shirts $10-$20 off. Go get them while they’re still there!

    "Fish smart and fish for future generations" This is why I love your channel. There are times I have to control my anger when I see poachers take more than they need or keep illegal size fish.

    Love your camping trip to Tortugas. Camped there in 1975 in my 21’ Seabird. Cooked with our Coleman stove and had a tour of the fort by lonesome park ranger. Fabulous place. Thanks for reminding me of that epic trip almost 50 years ago.

    • @LifeByTheBow
      @LifeByTheBow  Год назад

      That sounds like a really good trip. We love going over there.

    I took the seaplane out of Key West to Dry Tortugas in 2020 to snorkel around the island, the water was cold, but beautiful. I was definitely envious of the National Parks people who lived on the island, what an office.

    • @LifeByTheBow
      @LifeByTheBow  Год назад

      That must of been such an amazing experience. Thank you for watching.

    I’ve been to the dry tortugas a few times… every time those campsites are insane. There is no ground. It’s just entirely covered in hermit crabs. It’s nuts. Don’t know how you guys got lucky. And yes. Dock slips are still f’d. Makes for great snorkeling though.
    That’s the absolute dream boat too. Congrats.

    • @LifeByTheBow
      @LifeByTheBow  Год назад

      It was definitely an adventure! 😆

    Beautiful trip to Ft .Jefferson. I did that in 1975 in my 21’ Seabird with wife and two kids. One buddy in his 23 Formula went with us. We tent camped as well and had a blast. Such a gorgeous place. Hardly anyone there the park ranger-gave us a personally guided tour or the fort. The Coast Guard let us climb up inside the lighthouse. Sure did enjoy your video.

    Such a magnificent area filled with so much life, it's just stunning and I can see why people wanted to claim the area as far back as the mid 1500's when Ponce de Leon discovered the islands. I have to say I'm becoming more and more confident that if I ever had the chance to purchase a sea going boat, your little 24' Pathfinder really fits the bill covering everything from shallow bay to open ocean seemingly with ease. It's a smart design in a market where a "do it all" boat would be highly prized! I hope you had a safe crossing back to the Keys, and thank-you for letting us tag along on your adventure!! As always I love the shots, you have a very good eye, Clay. Now, while I convalesce I have some time to go back and watch from adventure #1 all the way through to today!! Take care and I'm looking forward to the next video!! - Dave

  • @steveurban3021
    @steveurban3021 Год назад +2

    I’m glad you mentioned how the Fl. Keys used to look like the reefs down in the Tortugas. I remember when I was a kid diving in the Florida Keys. The reefs were spectacular. Now when I go down there, almost everything is dead.

      Years ago I took the 3 day trip on a party boat for $175.00.. Today they want a fortune to take a party boat. But Fishing is great! Best bargain for fishing to me is Orlando princess out of Port Canaveral..$90.00 all day for good fishing. Not as good as the Tortugas.

    Glad you had a safe trip, I did this every weekend for 8 years in a 20ft Seacraft with an inline 6 cylinder 115 merc. That was 35 years ago with just a compass and a stop watch, that was our only navigation equipment with an old paper burner bottom finder, before graduating to a 23 ft Formula sterndrive, then to a 28ft Spencer with a cat 3116, then finally 15 years ago to a 32ft Contender with twin 250 Yamaha 4strokes. Been commercial fishing and diving out of Stock Island my whole life

    Ameri-trail is one of the best trailers on the market,, of course that's why you see them under all of the high end boats.. I did the Tortugas in our 25' Shearwater but it was just one overnight due to the weather window. Keep up the great content. My wife and I will be retiring in the next few years and are looking to move to the upper keys, we'll definitely call Stephanie.. We currently live in Bradenton, FL ..

    Thanks for preaching about the future of our waters and fisheries. This has to be passed done to our youth. Taking fish for the tables without abusing the ocean is a must. The days of bringing fish in for trophies is over. That means my age group, because we were the worst offenders growing up in the 70's. Keep promoting this (Life By The Bow)

    • @LifeByTheBow

    Awesome video thanks for teaching people about catch and release for future generations can enjoy as much as I did 30yrs ago still looks the same back then. Just snorkeling around the fort and seeing the giant lobsters, 15 lbs hogs, 30 lbs Blacks, giant mangrove snappers I remember it like it was yesterday thanks to your video. If you get a chance to go you won't regret it.. Take what your going to eat and put the rest back so you can catch another day..

    Yeah on the cuba thing, they have had 62 years to rise up and take thier island back but would rather sit back and have someone else ( world sympathy) to fix it for them. I'm cuban and most of my family were killed by the castro regime in front of my parents. They sold-out the 1400 soldiers that in 1961 tryed to free cuba.

    Love watching your videos. Started a few years ago when I was trying to decide what kayak to upgrade to from my old paddle kayak. I only follow two people so it was cool to see you ran into the other guy at the boat show (deer meat for dinner). Not sure how an Oregon kayak fisherman that isn't a tech or social media guy gets into following two Florida guys😊 I've always thought you seemed like a guy who'd be fun to just fish and shoot the chit with. All low key, low stress.

    Please stop calling it a Bay Boat. I know you have a 39 Contender but for me, my 22.5 is my offshore boat.

    Loved this video. Do you get a lot of wind there or not so much ? We never get three days of little to no wind. These videos have me chomping at the bit to do some overnights on our boat. Our season is getting closer. The yard mechanic called me yesterday to say they moved my boat inside and are prepping it for launch in about five weeks. I can’t wait.

    I wanted to come by and see you guys at the Nautical Flea Market in Founders Park a couple weeks ago but I had to go out of town. Love your videos, especially this trip to the Dry Tortugas.

    You didn’t talk about leaving a float plan with anyone. Did you have an EPIRB onboard? A 2 man life raft? Talk about listening to marine forecasts on the VHF radio? Safety should have been addressed more before an inexperienced boater attempts this.

    Great show, Avail Crew! Watching your channel grow has been bitching! I look forward to what the future holds for you. If hard work and team work make the dream work... I suppose your dream is coming to fruition. From my point of view, when G.P. calls you to be part of his show that's a pretty darn good person to know. I feel your talent, perseverance, and professionalism will take you to wherever you decide to go. Damnit! Where are my sunglasses? Yeah, it's that bright.

    I built a beach house by myself on Eleuthera island Bahamas 1996 so I know the area, took me 3 years, shipped all building materials in 40 ft container from Solana Beach, San Diego, County. Love Florida keys and Bahamas out-islands. Lived there 10 years, have speared many fish, fought off sharks. I met Canadian GF when I lived there, worst problems I had was was GF bitching at me "you haven't taken me spear fishing all week!"

    That was pretty brave making that long run in that size boat. Made that run many times and it’s either completely calm or completely rough so I hope you guys made it back safely.
