- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- In this exciting hands-on deep sea fishing adventure, I go over the basics & tactics of fishing for Mahi Mahi using only a White Bucktail Jig. I explain how have an extremely successful day getting into the bite and bring home some fish to eat, when the conditions are not favorable for traditional methods like trolling for fish. If you're getting into saltwater fishing for Dolphin and want to learn more about the one bait that will catch more than anything, or you're a seasoned pro searching for some different perspective on the subject with some good old fashioned excitement involved... Then this episode's for you.
Enjoy ;)

Man! That Justin dude can really fish! Thanks for the trip bro. It was a blast!
Yes he can. Glad you had fun, and got to experience some new fishing tactics + get into the bite with some nice dolphin. That turtle was crazy. Take care :)
Professor you are having too much fun! Bless that little White Jig. Great fun vid.!
Thanks a million for watching and always bringing some positivity and support for the channel. Yes, it was a fun day. Those jigs were pretty much spent after that day. Never ceases to amaze me, the action the bucktail jig can produce almost anywhere in the ocean. Thanks again for everything you do for the channel, sincerely. Tight lines & take care ;)
“I’m Heath and it’s time to get into the bite!” Aka best part of every video!
Thanks a bazillion for watching and leaving the most stellar comment and compliment. Makes all the effort I've put into the channel and info sharing, 100% completely worthwhile. Sincerely, can't thank you enough for your support. Tight lines & take care ;)
Another amazing educational vídeo from our friend Heath
Thanks a bazillion for watching and leaving some excellent feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the show. This one was a little more on the fun side, but I always gotta do some info sharing. Does no good for you to watch me catch fish and not know what I'm doing, or how I'm finding them, or something. That's what this is all about, information and helping everyone have a good time. Thanks again for all your support of the channel and making this happen. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Always enjoying your videos
Wow you guys had a really fun successful day, way to go!!!! 👏
Thanks a boat load for watching and leaving an excellent comment. I truly appreciate your support for the channel. We did have a good time, and got lucky landing pretty much right on top of the fish. I really love showcasing how effect the white bucktail jig is, and how it can literally catch almost anything that is will to eat. Can't thank you enough for being here, bringing some positivity, and making this happen. Sincerely. Tight lines & take care ;)
Great video Heath. Mahi fishing can be some of the most exciting times on any boat when the bite turns on!!!! Like you, I’m fishing for Mahi almost exclusively on light spinning setups. Makes for a great fight, especially when the occasional Blackfin Tuna jumps into the mix. Stay well. Jay
Hi Jay, thanks a million for watching and always sharing. I agree there's nothing quite like a hot dolphin bite on light gear. It made this even better that I got to punish my brother who hasn't been fishing in like 10 years with them, but he had a blast. Thanks again for all you support of the channel and making it happen. Hope all is well with you and your family. Tight lines & take care ;)
Another great day on the water Heath! Myself, coming from a totally dysfunctional family, it sure is great to see you taking the family out and enjoying the sport we all love. Fist bump to Avi and regards to the rest of the Fam! God Bless!
Hi Chuck, thanks a million for watching and sharing. My family has it's crazy ups and downs too. But yes, I finally got my brother out after about 10 years. We had a good time. Got lucky and pretty much landed right on top of the fish. Doesn't happen like that all the time. But, I'll take it. Avi says "Hey Chuck". Thanks again for all you do for the channel and making this happen. Couldn't get it done without you. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing My pleasure Heath! Tight lines!
thank you and its nice to see you expanded your crew
Thanks a million for watching and always being here. Yes sir, finally got my brother out. First time he's fished like that in about 10 years. He went home sore. But had a blast, and I made him a believer in the white bucktail. Thanks again for all you do for the channel and making it happen. Sincerely. Tight lines & take care ;)
Great video Heath!
Thanks a boat load for watching and always being here to support the channel and make this happen. Sincerely couldn't get this done without you. Had a blast that day, got luck and literally landed on top of the dolphin. Thanks again for everything you do for the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks for the great video Heath. I just came across your channel yesterday and like your simple and to the point instructional videos. It’s great seeing you getting out there in a 17 footer similar to what I get out there in. You make me realize I need to pull my boat out of the garage and get out there more often. In the video, when you mention that besides the buck tail jigs you were using, you had natural baits out…..what type of natural baits are you using. ? Live or dead? Ballyhoo or something else?
Thanks for your help!. Great seeing you out there with your family!
Thanks a boat load for watching and leaving some great feedback. Definitely get that boat and start putting it to use. Boats don't like sitting around for too long. The natural bait I was using was a frozen Spanish Sardine, sorry I forgot to mention that. Really though, when the Dolphin are hungry like that, they'll eat almost anything... Ballyhoo, squid, bonito chunks. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
What a great video man thanks for that
Hi Carlos, thanks a boat load for watching and being here to bring some positivity. I truly appreciate it and all you do for the channel. We had some good fun beating up on the dolphin. Got lucky and parked right on top of them. I love showing how effective the bucktail jig can be, it really does catch everything. Can't thank you enough for your support of the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Heath, Justin was really hooking up those Dolphin. The white bucktails are very popular in the North East for Flounder. They are the most universal bait for saltwater fish. They seem to catch everything. Hope the family's well. "Hi" to Avi and the "fishing Girls". I haven't been fishing for two weeks. I've been shooting on the days when it's not been too hot. Good luck and have fun, Mickey
Hi Mickey, thanks for watching. Avi and the girls say "Hi". I bet that heat can get unbearable, especially with no ocean breeze to cool you off. Hopefully, it cools down a little for you soon. My brother hadn't been fishing like that in about 10 years, so it made it a special trip, especially since we pretty much got ultra lucky and landed right on top of the dolphin. He was pretty sore and beat up the next day. So, I guess I did my job. Hope all is well with you and your family. I'll talk to you on Thursday. Take care :)
Hi Heath, I looked like Justin was enjoying himself. It's always fun to get into a school of fish right away and get into the action. There's an indoor range near me, with A/C. I'll go there on hot or rainy days. "Hi" to everyone and good luck. Talk to you on Thurs. Mickey
Hi Heath, sorry late as always but just wanted to check in and give the algorithm a boost. Looking forward to watching the video later tonight. Don't know what's going on with the weather here in Bali. It's supposed to be the dry season but we're having rainy weather almost every day. Our mahi-mahi and king mackerel (local name tenggiri) seasons run together usually in August and September but I don't know what's going to happen this year.
Tight lines and stay safe everyone!
Thanks a bazillion for watching (later) and always sharing. I concur, our weather has been bonkers for months. We are in the summer months, where the ocean should be like a lake, highly not the case. There hasn't really been too much of a shift in the fish migratory pattern, but there's definitely an atmospheric change. Oh well, adapt and overcome, is what I always say. 2 things you can't control when it comes to fishing are the weather, and if the fish are going to bite. Hope all is well with you and your family. Thanks again for everything you do. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks cap,nice video.

Fantastic video!

Another great informative video, I always come a way with useful fishing tips, thanks
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some excellent feedback. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Sincerely, couldn't do this without you. Any little bit you can take away that is helpful, makes all the effort 100% completely worthwhile. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Heath thank you for an awesome video. Can you in the near future do an instructional video on how to troll weedless strip baits for MAHI since lately theres a lot of scatter pieces of sargassum ; making it very difficult to troll surface lures thank you.
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some excellent feedback. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Thanks for the great idea, I agree the small scattered weeds have been obnoxious this year. I believe the sargassum bloom was big, and the winds blowing the way they have been, are not making it idea conditions for them to bunch up. I will put it on my "to do" list. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Thank you for you help and continual support.
Fantastic thanks again Ricky 💃🕺🏼💃🕺🏼🎶🐈⬛
Hi Ricky, thanks a million for watching and always being here to make this happen. Couldn't get it done without you. Glad you enjoyed the show. Had fun, finally got my brother out after about 10 years, but, like I said it was a blast. Good fish + good company = great adventure. Thanks again for all you do for the channel, sincerely. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thank you very much for this fantastic video. You’re doing a great job 👏!! One question what’s the name of the marina you dropped the boat for this video? Thank you
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. I don't use a marina. I go to the Silver Palm Park Boat Ramp, located on Palmetto Park Rd. on the east side of the intracoastal. Hope this helps. Thanks again for everything. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thank you very much for your response!!! Keep on the good work 👍
👍🏼👍🏼 super info
Nice vid!
Hi Alex, thanks a million for watching and always being here. Finally got my brother out after about 10 years. Not a bad cold streak to break. Plus we caught some fun fish and didn't strike out. Can't thank you enough for always being here and making this happen, truly and sincerely, thank you. Tight lines & take care ;)
Loved the video
Loved making it. Had fun sending Justin home sore. Did he tell you about the turtle that tried to eat the last dolphin we caught as we were running in to beat a storm heading our way? If not, ask him... it was crazy.
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing nope, didn’t hear the turtle story, yep, he was sore
Fishing is like a fine whisky it's best shared
Why yes it is. Couldn't have said it any better than that. Thanks again :)
I finally caught my first real 22’ mutton snapper and I finally got to say now that’s mutton snapper baby!! Lol 😂 I swear that’s what I said!!
Thanks a million for watching and sharing. I would have loved to have been the fly-on-the-wall and hear you say that. It's a perfect saying for the perfect fish. Does jumbo-sized muttenz are always a stellar catch. It never gets old bringing those bad boys home. Thanks again for your support of your channel I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Good job captain! How deep is the water?
We were in about 500 that day
Hi sir.... new friend her from phillippens... i hope some day u visit allso my house u now... im enjoeng to watch video... take care have a nice day.....
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Hopefully, one day I will get to travel the world fishing, and come to the Philippines, I've heard the fishing is excellent. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Well in Florida we call them Dolphin, every time I hear Mahi mahi it makes me cringe and want to b!tch slap someone. Good video tho, good stuff
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I grew up calling them dolphin. I remember first hearing them called Mahi, and didn't know what the person was talking about. Regardless, even though it is a more widely recognized term, I still find myself referring to them as dolphin more often than Mahi. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
0:17 can Bucktail catch that fish?
The wahoo? It may happen on a rare occasion, but not likely.
