It’s nice to go back to the basics, relax and enjoy the fact it’s about fishing not how big or how many. Really enjoyed this video. This is the type of fishing in Florida I remember while stationed there before deployment to Vietnam. The hidden coves and back road bridges. Many thanks for reminding me of a great time and how to recapture that again.
for gut hooked fish I made a tool that can easily be made from a length of cane or a dry branch about the size of a pencil with a v notch on the end... anything will work even a ball point pen casing... as long as it's smooth and the butt will fit the inside diameter of the hook. keep slight pressure on the line while pushing the saddle of the hook until the point comes out of the fishes gullet...the hook is automatically safely held by the v notch. then keeping pressure on the line easily remove the hook. especially helpful for c&r with sunfish.
Steve, it is really funny that you posted this video. I was just driving my truck home from the lakes in the area (after checking to see that they are still frozen and I cant make a fishing video today) and thought it would be good to make a video about these little roadside places that you pass but pay no attention to. Little streams going under the road. Sometimes big carp in there, but no doubt plenty of pan fish. Then, I get home and see you uploaded this video.... on the same wavelength.
That Fish is a Democrat-caught on hot mic 'they are done for' this is a super funny fishing video maybe he was triggered lol th-cam.com/video/Auf_ZhV9l2w/w-d-xo.html
I like this series. Could you do one about the proper handling of the fish once you finally catch one. For the fisherman's safety (how not to lip a cuda) and how to return a fish so you can catch him again. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Steve, it was nice to hear a little bit about your personal adventures during those earlier days in Ft Lauderdale and how you started out with some fun fishing. Those areas which are easily overlooked by may really had several nice sized snappers. It was surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable to see you revisit the fundamentals and simple areas we used to go to, before we progressed into Kayaking and Offshore. Places like this is where it all started.
Yep! I agree! Sometimes we need to go back to basics! Break out the light tackle and catch a bunch of small stuff! It's a good change of pace and can be very relaxing! Nice video Steve!
Nice catch. I use fine shredded cheddar cheese to get bait fish riled up. They love it. I'm trying to get out on the water today. But its raining here at the Florida Panhandle. Love your Vids
That was exactly what I needed. This was my first weekend in Florida, fished saltwater all day yesterday and today from my kayak and didn't catch a thing, I'll be honest I was very frustrated but watching this helped calm me down. I think I need to relax and start small like you said!
Great information, looking forward to my visit to Key West, have a 4 piece ugly stick which I use up at the cruise liner terminal when I visit, always seem to catch some fish up there at night. Going to try some other places next visit as well. Have to cycle everywhere once we arrive so will take a look at getting to the submarine pens and some of the other little canals
All swallowed hooks are fully removable.......you need a stiff flat piece of wood that will fit into the fish's mouth.......you slide it down the leader until it contacts the bend of the hook.........hold the line and remove the hook by pressing downwards....away from the hook wound.....then gently lift out of the fish's mouth...........just one snag .....you may need a third hand to always do this successfully!
THIS is what I long to do. Fish some where that has fish. I've fished all over the Bakersfield, CA area and no such luck. There are just too many people here and they keep everything they catch. :(
Ill be in Key West next week. I hope to do some shore fishing, mostly mid-morning to mid-afternoon a few days. Do you have any tips for locations and baits that could help me? I was planning on hitting the jetty at Smathers beach and the White St. pier. Thanks for any advice, love your channel.
Love your vids man been subbed for a while just one thing. When you release fish sometimes (eg the first fish in this vid) why do you launch them into the air like you do? Ive seen fish die this way and its a bit upsetting/unnecesary

BETTER THAN THE SUPER BOWL

Keep up the good work.
Mike Lash, Fishing and stuff. Actually this is a great idea. Do it Steve!
Fantastic idea
Super fun video. Sitting here the day after another snow/ice storm, time to watch Steve go fishing in the sun.

:) thx for the video. Needed an excuse to have a lazy Sunday start
I'll be in Key West for this coming spring break! I want to experience fishing there! So excited!!!

This man can fish from anywhere using any equipment and always catches. truly inspiring
I love using tiny circle hooks for this kind of inshore bottom fishing.
Awesome man! Love this series, back to the basics. The beauty is the information applies anywhere.
We all started fishing pan fry in your youth. This vid reminds me of my childhood. Thank you for that.
I like ass
Thanks for sharing that great sunset!

Nothing like new bait spots! Mr long shanks! Nice video Steve.
Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day!
interesting tricks. like this fishing.
Thanks Steve....
We have similar species called a mangrove red snapper. The names we have for it in South Africa - Rock Salmon, River Roman and Nkulunkulu.
Awesome video yet again Steve, great content brother can't see why someone would dislike lol. When's the next catch and cook buddy
Thank you for the relaxing video.
love the vibe man great job
This is a good vlog. And you can sit back and watch the Super Bowl go Eagles.
THIS is what I long to do. Fish some where that has fish. I've fished all over the Bakersfield, CA area and no such luck. There are just too many people here and they keep everything they catch. :(
Ken Karnes : Go west! Not too far to get to the ocean!
Thank you. Maybe next weekend, I hope. Good luck fishing.
I know some places like this with little lakes near where I live. Cool!
I could watch you cast net bait and filleting fish allday
that was a great, humbling story that i appreciate you sharing... watched a couple of your vids, but now im a subscriber for sure. SUBBED.
Great video
What a great channel! Seems like you're living the life.
I'm heading to the Keys in April for vacation. Hope to see you out on the water.. Thanks for making this video for us to enjoy.
Awesome man I’m learning a ton
Another great video steve!
Ill be in Key West next week. I hope to do some shore fishing, mostly mid-morning to mid-afternoon a few days. Do you have any tips for locations and baits that could help me? I was planning on hitting the jetty at Smathers beach and the White St. pier. Thanks for any advice, love your channel.
I am the best angler alive. R.I.P 2018
Awesome video I love your videos
Love your videos, where is that bridge located at
hi great video what mile is the seawall location. and is it full on weekends
Did you ever manage to break the other ugly stik on bigger fish? I remember that sucker taking care of business last year.
Miss catch and cook videos 😩
Such a beautiful place but some just don't care and leabe their trash everywhere it's a shame
Jimmy Celtic a lot of that trash is actually from Hurricane Irma.
plenty of trash around before the storm, no one cares
I have an 8 days vacation to burn this March. Any suggestions where i might go fishing in the keys? Shore fishing in particular. Thanks.
Hey where is that boat launch area at in Key West you were fishing at? Or is it on another key? - THanks I'm here now and want to fish there.
Love the earlier shit Steve
Nice video Steve
Do you run class? I have been trying to learn myself and could never educate myself.
That was lovely 😘
is the second place fort zachery taylor jetty?
Do you trim the fins of the pin fish when live baiting?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Still finding gold
Love your vids man been subbed for a while just one thing. When you release fish sometimes (eg the first fish in this vid) why do you launch them into the air like you do? Ive seen fish die this way and its a bit upsetting/unnecesary
How do you use braid in the keys?
Would really small circle hooks work for this type fishing?
cool
👊👍😎
Where was that?
Ever use BACON for bait ?
Too bad you do not have anything 10 inches long on you to make sure those snapper are keepers.
;-D
Aren't circle hooks required when using natural bait in the keys?
Catching Bait ? LOL
Catch n cook ??
