Thank you. Trying to give people an idea of what the studying for the test needs to be. 👍

Thank you very much! Appreciate the support!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

It does smell pretty bad. It’s raw cow hide but it is extremely good bait for lobster and crab traps.

Thank you very much. Really trying to make this chapter of my life successful. Thank you for the support!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. We have a bunch of marine species in the bay from fish to lobster, crab, and even octopus! Thanks for the support to the channel!

It really is a peaceful and beautiful place!

Being sea sick is terrible because it doesn’t go away until you get back on dry land. That day it was very bad! Thanks for the channel support!

@@pescatarianfishing on a side note , I just found your channel. I especially liked the Garmin Tutorial and will go into my Garmin with a guide to understand. Cheers

@Steve-Jody that is great to hear. I have an entire playlist dedicated to Garmin videos. All of them are instructional videos, below is the link to the playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLyBi_6HF-i1csjdDH9EQ68BxKv2h2SXxr.html&si=NqO-Hk7I6OHdpBsJ

@@pescatarianfishing TY

I haven’t forgot about the other video I’m just backlogged with videos to record and edit. I’m hoping to have that video recorded in the next few weeks. I will tag you on that one also

Yes! The line will run freely through the shackle and the harpoon shaft stays on the line. This is what you want, you want the harpoon shaft to not be attached bc if it is attached it can pull the dart out. The fish can run and the line will be coming out of the basket on the boat.

​@@pescatarianfishingThanks. I watched the video again. How can the line run through the shackle freely? It will be stuck at the loop which is tied to the shackle through the long line clip. I must be missing something here. Thank you.

No that prevents the line with the dart from coming out of the shackle. If the line were to come out, you lose the shaft. The fish is running and the line is running through that shackle keeping the shaft loose on the line.

Thank you for the support!

Thank you for the subscription and the channel support. There are a lot more Garmin videos in the Garmin marine playlist that you might find equally as use full. This is the link to the Garmin videos playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLyBi_6HF-i1csjdDH9EQ68BxKv2h2SXxr.html&si=dZr2MBcnc9oQ6gEI

So for anchoring on a rocky bottom I would recommend a grappling style anchor. Then I would set up the chain from the flukes of the anchor and run the chain down the shank of the anchor and place some zip ties there. This way, if the anchor were to get stuck in the rocks, the pressure from the anchor ball will break the tie wraps and pull the anchor out backwards. We cover this in detail along with proper anchoring techniques in our anchoring 101 video. Below is the link for that video. th-cam.com/video/F83iYNkc2HQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wRdNZ02ZLeUZkvFn

Thank you very much and thank you for the support!

For sword fishing everything is connected using aluminum sleeves and is crimped on. From the main line which is braid off your reel you attach the wind on leader via a cats paw connection then at the end of the wind on leader you have a ball bearing swivel which is crimped onto the wind on leader on one end and the other end is crimped on to your bait leader.

No because the leader is too thick to tie in a knot and if you were to tie it someway, it would not be as strong as a wind on and a knot won’t go through the guides of the rod. Remember the leader is 150ft long so if you can’t roll it onto the reel then you would have to pull the fish in my hand for all that distance. You might be able to pull in a small fish but it will be difficult and dangerous to try and attempt to pull in a big fish by hand. All that leader on the deck of the boat can create a serious situation if it gets tangled on someone’s leg and the fish takes off. Swordfish can dump a thousand feet of line off your reel in seconds as they dive back down.

@@pescatarianfishing So how would you do it. Thanks for the explanation

You are welcome. I will go in order to try to make it less confusing. First you need to tie a Bimini twist know at the end of you main line. This loop is what you will use to attach your wind on leader. This video shows you how to tie the Bimini twist knot - th-cam.com/video/XHoe0a04e8M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AXHE4WH04OzpcX_l The. You will have to attach the wind on leader with a cats paw connection. This video shows you how to attach the wind in leader. th-cam.com/video/yigCePetgpA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qa3k_mcGOOsFGvjh Then you will need to follow the steps in the rigging video to attach your barrel swivel and the bait. This video shows you how to properly do it using the chaffing gear. th-cam.com/video/YE1cXIokqxA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hrPm1KNBhCpc6VRq Then you just attach the lights, clip on your lead and you are ready to go. I’m not sure if you have seen the entire swordfish 101 series that I have but I walk you through all of this, exactly what gear you need in your tackle box and boat and I show you how to rig bait for swordfish also. If you haven’t seen it, below is the link to the playlist with all the videos. th-cam.com/play/PLyBi_6HF-i1e463bO6RTXtb9N1Nuk-pjM.html&si=006QVVXcyfG0cyJA

They are beautiful, just not so much fun to be fishing in them.

It’s way better than trying to pull it by hand! Thanks for your continued support!

Not sure if when you are saying Miami you mean dade county or downtown area. This was south dade. I can’t remember exactly but it was around 55-58ft. I can’t remember if I showed the sonar in that video. I’m working on another video edit in that same spot now where I do show it. I went back with my son. That video should be live Monday after next. Thanks for the channel support!

That’s amazing for that kind of water depth! Appreciate the vids!

@albertsabater9647 thank you!

It really is a very rare catch is that depth and so close to Miami. We have caught some nice flags before but in deep water reefs and out at Rebecca Shoal close to Dry Tortugas. I will be visiting this spot again! Thanks for your support to the channel!

Thanks for the support! Consistently catching 7 pounders is awesome! That’s a really good spot!

Thanks for the continued support cap! We need to plan a trip to go get some together!

Thank you and thanks for the support! Those were some monsters!

Muchas gracias por el apoyo!

Not anymore. In Florida, federal and state waters require a descending device when bottom fishing and it has to be set up with the lead and ready to go. FWC can issue you a ticket if they stop you and you don’t have it. It used to only be required in federal waters here in Florida but a couple years ago they changed it to federal and state waters.

@@pescatarianfishing I just went to the FWC website. I’m correct. Take a look.

You are welcome. Thank you for the support!

I have 3 yetis with the aftermarket ones and 2 with the black yeti ones and the aftermarket ones are holding up but I can tell that they are less quality compared to the yeti ones but I also like that I could change the colors and they were super cheap. I ordered them from Amazon. I was able to find a light blue one that matches the hull color of our boat.

@@pescatarianfishing That’s the exact thought I had! Our boat is a Scout with their Crystal Blue hull. It has a yeti on a slider and would be cool to match the latches to the boat!

@KM.130 even if they don’t last as long as the yeti ones they are so cheap to purchase and it looks so nice when it matches the boat. Below is the link to the ones I ordered from Amazon. a.co/d/31j8FDg

@@pescatarianfishing thank you

Thank you very much and thank you for the support!

Thank you very much Erich! Thanks for the continued support to the channel!

Muchas gracias por el apoyo. Si hacemos charters, puedes ver todos los datos en nuestra página de web. www.pescatarianfishing.com/

yes, regular dacron. this really helps identify it when its coming up in the water and the material helps it not slip in your hands. here is an example from Miami fishing supply. www.miamifishingsupply.com/tu2530orda.html

@@pescatarianfishing Perfect. Thank you!

I’m glad you find them helpful! Thanks for the support!

I use 80 or 100lb test. You want to have it light in case you get hung up on the bottom. You want the lead to break and be able to retrieve everything else

Thanks for the support all the way from Australia! You can zoom and in 20-40 feet it might not distort that much but in the depths that we swordfish, if you use the zoom feature it will get very distorted. The shift feature basically excludes any other area that you do not select and the transducer solely focuses on the selected depth range. I would imagine that in 20-40 feet the zoom feature should work perfectly.

You have to put the reel on the rod and pull straight down because the rod itself will also add drag to the fish. This is why is has to be on the reel and you pulling straight down. I did use a spring scale and I pulled very slowly so that I could get the reel right as the line started moving. One thing to note is that no two LP reels will be the same. If you feel that your drag is too little and that all the way up the reel only has 20 pounds of drag, you could adjust the wheel on the side of the reel and click it forward. Every click of the wheel up adds 3 pounds of drag and when you turn it down every click removes 3 pounds of drag. I would recommend adding some clicks and starting over. You really want to set it to 35lsh pounds but not that the reel can’t go anymore bc if you hook a large shark, you will never be able to slow it down. Sharks are a major bi catch when swordfishing. Then as a recommendation, I would set the wheel all the way back and count the clocks that you finally set it at. Then I would place a sticker on the reel. It happens to everyone, someone will turn that dial and then all your settings are off so if you know what number of clocks the reel was set to, you could bring it back to zero and clock it to that and be back in business.

@@pescatarianfishing thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Your channel is so underrated and it will take off soon. Keep up the great work. One last question, do you preheat/warm the drag before setting the drag?

I never preheat the drags. The most important thing when setting though is that you place the reel in the rod and pull down on the line in the same fashion as the fish would pull to capture the drag pressure from the rod. Thank you very much for the support!

Thank you Erich! 👍👍

Unfortunately, when you delete them you will delete them all.

Thank you Captain, appreciate your time to help educate us on key items.

@garyisrael7735 you are very welcome and thanks for the support! 👍

That’s the ocean side. We don’t really go through the intercoastal.

Im very happy to hear that! Hopefully it helps you dial in the sonar and find some new fishing spots!

Thanks for the support! We use a label makers from staples by the brand of Brother. I’m not sure if the labels are waterproof but we placed new labels when we made this video over a year ago and still have them on with no issues.

You are very welcome! Thanks for the support!

Thank you very much! This year for the stone crab season, I am going to try and record more to show the viewers about stone crabbing in Florida. We are almost exclusive with stone crab here in Florida but it’s tough to record because we have very rough seas in the winter here. Lots of saltwater on the cameras and microphones. Thanks for the support!

Awesome! Thank you for the support and hopefully this video helps you dial in your sonar

Thank you very much!
