- If you walk into a restaurant here in the Florida Keys more than likely the first fish that you will see on the menu is a yellowtail snapper. People travel thousands of miles to taste the delicious seafood that we have down here in the Florida Keys and the yellowtail snapper is easily one of the best catches we have to offer. Join us in this week's video as we venture only a couple miles into our backyard where we teach you how to catch yellowtail snapper.

When I was a kid, Yellow Tail was THE fish to catch. Green Turtle key Bahamas - 1962. You brought back great memories.
Stephanie, you were correct! “Brass Money, that funky monkey”. You guys slayed the Yellowtails!🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching Julia! She had it right she was just forgetting the brass monkey part lol!
Can we have a video on the pathfinder and you show us how to locate bait know where to fish and also how you know what to tie up. (More information, new to fishing)
Will do more coming in the future appreciate you watching!
My favorite TH-cam show! Watching from Southern California. Thank you Clay & Stephanie!
This never gets old. So fun watching you guys catch those fish. 👍🏻👍🏻
Haha never gets old seeing your comments! Thanks 💪🏼
Hahaha I’m dead at Steph with the “Chunky Monkey” song. 😂
Man, this IS the life! 🎣 ☀️
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video. Outstanding cinematography, keep em coming...
Appreciate you watching Derrick!
Great video guys! As always thanks for all the hard work that most people do not think about 👍🏻
Thank you Rodney appreciate you watching!
loved the new guy on the boat
Dom definitely does well in front of the camera!
Awesome video, and what a beautiful boat! I totally agree the bad weather makes the fish bite. When that pressure starts to fall, fish start chewing!!!
Hey Jamie appreciate it! Definitely tough to fish in that weather but we made the best of it!
Outstanding video, you guys are true Pros we enjoy watching, living vicariously through your videos.
Very good editor. From the intro, storytelling, sectioning of segments, very well put together.
I've so enjoyed watching your videos. I've been in Florida for the winter from Ohio; Key largo Feb and March. Unfortunately, the wind has been relentless for me fishing from a kayak. Make sure if you see an orange and black Vibe kayak paddle by, wave or stop and say hi! Watching your adventures has only reinforced...I NEED A BOAT!!! Filling the cooler with my limit of Mangrove snapper on most outings has been a joy. Looking out on the open water leaves be wanting for more. So, for now, I live vicariously through your videos. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work for us viewers!
Thanks Steven! Appreciate you
Hey guys nice video ! Good pointers to attract the fish. Hi from Puerto Rico !!!!
Thanks Juan we appreciate you watching!
You guys never disappoint… for me the message is clear. The ocean’s bounty is so vast.. especially the Keys, there are great fishing memories to be had on light gear and friends. This vid’ made me smile recalling days catching schoolers’ like French grunt to yellows. Laughing and happy.. gone back there. Thanks once more you two.
Best videography of all the TH-cam fishing channels!
Appreciate that, thank you!
Great cinematography
Thanks Michael we had fun with this video
Stephanie is a trooper and looks right at home in the fishing gear. If I recall, she used to get a little sea sick back in the day but looks like she has overcome that with the conditions you were fishing in. Love the content and channel.
Awesome Video 🌴🌅🌊
Never fails, another high quality video from Clay and Stephanie that makes me want to go fishing! Keep it up you two!
Thanks Ernie!
really enjoyed the vid.. keep it going makes me wanna go fishing all the time.
Awesome video. Great dedication you put into each one of your videos.
I'm new to your channel and just purchased my first Avail performance shirt, looking forward to wearing it this summer and supporting you guys.
Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻 I'm always amazed by the flawless production and great shots of the Keys! Just starting to learn Premier Pro as a personal hobby, your work inspires me 👍🏻
Muito obrigado pelos vídeos, são inspiradores para nós aqui no Brasil. Gostamos muito de vocês!!!
Great video, lots of fish, lots of fun, what a great day, what else can you ask for 👍🙏❤️😎👣

Thank you and appreciate the kind words you guys do quite the job fishing in your videos as well keep it up!
You made my day by watching my video. At the end of the day, it's about enjoying a day of life and sharing for others to experience as well. God bless
Love your videos! Just spent last 2 months in Marathon at our new vacation home and was hoping to run into you guys at the Islamorada Flea Market, but no. Lucked out today though. On our way to the airport we stopped for lunch and saw you and the full Avail clad crew in Key Largo. Ironically, I had ordered my first Avail shirt this morning before seeing you all. Crazy how things work out. Was great to see you and Stephanie in person. Keep up the amazing work!
Another great video. You know the job Capt Clay. I am proud of you. May God also bless Stephanie who plays a very important rule in the adventures. Your boat look like a diamond.👍
Thanks my friend always glad to see your comments!
Still haven't really figured out how the dehooker works, but thanks for showing ! 😅👍
Awesome video guys. That chum with oats is the best for those yellowtails! Thanks for sharing! 🔥🔥🔥

Cool video’s guy’s! Ive bin once in the keys on Holliday (im from Holland) rented a centerconsole best day on the water ever. I juist tot the performance shirts verry Nice and verry good quality. Keep up the good work
Love the video! Really well shot and edited! Drone shots on point. Must have been fun trying to launch and recover 😳
Thanks for watching! Flying the drone was risky
You guys are awesome, I love the keys.
Thanks Robert 💪🏼
Wow amazing!!
Thank you appreciate you watching!
Yellowtail is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! BEAUTIFUL FISH, FUN TO CATCH, EASY TO CLEAN AND GREAT TO EAT! I CATCH THEM ALL THE TIME!! TIGHT LINES!!!
P.S. Please don't keep anything less than 14 inches.
I second Rodney Allen comment!!!! I very much appreciate everything ya'll do.
Thank you Harvey!
Good video. That's how we do it in St Kitts. Catch and keep
Thank you so much, glad that you enjoyed it.
Guys I get it they’re not flag yellow tails we were just excited and having fun. Yellow tailing has never really been our thing and I’m now aware that a flag yellowtail needs to be at least 25 inches long lol. Thanks for watching.
Really nice yellow tail method of fishing
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching.
GREAT VIDEO. 👍
Another great video team. Always dig the energy and passion you guys bring!
Are you happy with the drone you're using? If so, what kind is it please 😁?
Great video guys!
Thanks Brennan appreciate you watching 🤙🏼
We were in Mexico and hired a local fishing guide. We caught a mess of yellowtails and the guide directed us to a restaurant on the beach that would clean and cook your fish right there on the beach, and serve it with beans and rice, all for $2.00! Great meal on the beach under the palm trees.
Great guys!!! Just one question, at which depths can you chum for yellowtails??
if you chum, they will come, that’s exactly how we managed to haul in a cooler load of yellowtail last thanksgiving. neon jig head with dead shrimp on it did the trick. cant wait to get back down there this year
Definitely rewarding!
Clay Great Video!!! Beautifully done!!! When are you filming your first Movie? You have it down!!!👍👍
Hey Alexander appreciate the kind words and of course thanks for watching!
@@LifeByTheBow can’t be there so next best thing is Watching You !!! 😁
Gotta love yellowtail snapper!
When the weather takes a turn they never disappoint!
Great video
Thank you William!
Love it
Thanks you Charles!
Cool video! hope to meet you guys one day here @ Key West
Thanks Daniel we’re down there from time to time however the price of hotels is unreal right now but hopefully we can cross paths one day👍🏼
Verry good 🎉❤❤❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
great video
Thanks Ethan appreciate you watching
Nice vid pal
Thank you appreciate you watching!
ah, so good...
Thanks my friend!
Do you do private charters or could recommend someone who would do similar to your Mahi and lighthouse snorkeling trips?
Hey guys I`m new to your video, so where can i learn about your story, where you came from? what you did before this? I`m trying to watch from the start of video`s. I have lobstered with my uncle down in the keys but it was like 40yrs ago.... love the water down there...... take care be safe....
Fried croaker is great. We used to catch and eat them.
Interesting!
Do you have a favorite way to FREEZE your excess fish. Do you freeze the filet in water - like fish in.a block of ice? If you dont mind showing more about what you do with excess or do you give it away?
Can i get a link to buy that oats you used pr the exact name i cant find that please
Do you have a way at home to store any unused bait?
Edit: Lots of guys I fish with kind of hate the wind. I like it because here that signals a weather change and better fishing if it's cold and the wind comes up signaling warmer weather on the way.
Hey my friend we do actually have a bait pin that we will put the Baits in
@@LifeByTheBow Being able to catch your own bait is huge. Love the channel!
Does Dom have an Instagram too !??? 😍😝
Please ask Don what kind of wax he uses. Thank you!
I believe it’s called a cleaner wax 👍🏼
I know this sounds cheesy, and I don't really care,...I am SO in Love with the colour of the water you have in the Florida Keys. Blues that defy description, and every region more beautiful than the rest. I live on the Canadian Prairies and I've seen fields as far as the eye can see yellow with mustard, canola or even wheat in the fall, then a field of Flax all in bloom providing a sea of blue in the midst of other crops. I love where I live but I am so tempted to say "Do It!!!" and find a way to be where the water is azure , then cyan followed by deep blue all dark and mysterious then a myriad of blue shades that don't have names. It is simply stunning, and the fact that I love to fish isn't helping right now!! I think if Stephanie had a killer recipe for Yellow Tail Snapper,.......it might just push me over the edge!!! Any job openings at AVAIL for a slightly disabled but thoroughly stubborn. loyal as heck employee?
Not cheesy at all that’s one of the biggest reasons why we live in the Florida Keys!
@@LifeByTheBow Agree 100%.
I heard my Name!
I’d love to see some snook videos with Rob Gorta in Tampa
Going to have to do some snook fishing soon!
Can we please get Don's recipe for his chum and Oates? Thanks!
Hey Dean! That’s it! Just chum and oats 👍🏼
@@LifeByTheBow I thought maybe you were going to tell me Hall and Oates! :)
I’ve got a detailing business on Lake Lanier and lake Hartwell in Georgia
Nice congrats to start your business!
Okay, this may sound silly, but with a new coat of wax, the boat looks like it is moving through the water easier!
So waxing actually improves efficiency!
In my neighborhood , we catch Yellow Tail in the 15-20 lb. range . What you are doing is just ripping people off . And you know it !
We are just going out to enjoy ourselves recreationally fishing. It’s about the experience for us not the size. Thanks for watching!
Yellowtails are great, but not even the top of Florida snappers I love getting Cuberas.
Cuberas are definitely a great fight! We have a great time with all snapper species. Thanks for watching.
Getting un 17 inches in Miami rn got 30 last weekend plus an 8 lb mutton.
Nice congrats!
i caught one with lunch meat and a hand line in the Bahamas
Dang, impressive. Way to go! 🙌🏻
@@LifeByTheBow thanks
👍
Thanks!
This small boat is for shallow water fishing.
Waw😱yg mau sambar gede banget mantap 👍
I couldn’t agree more
😘😍😘😍😘😘😍
Thanks!
Flags are over 20 inches??
Hey Jeff the yellowtail has to be 12 inches to keep thanks for watching 👍🏼
hi
Hey!
MAHUA IS BEST YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER HOOK ON BAIT.
Yellowtails are OK but def not one of my favorites to catch. Imagine going offshore on a charter and only catching 12” fish. Might as well save a lot of. $$$$$ and go bass fishing for free. Prob gonna catch a lot more bigger bass than yellowfins!😎. But thats just me. I am sure plenty of tourists get a big kick out of catching these small saltwater fish. And they are delicious too! So theres that.
You aren't wrong. But when you get into actual flag yellowtail it's a whole different ballgame. These weren't flags.
@@gonfishin4725 yea I noticed thy kept saying they were flags but where I-come from they certainly were not! You would think they would know the difference but apparently not. Those were just regular ole barely legal yellowtails nothing near flags!😎
Hey Jay I understand what you’re saying however it’s really not so much about the yellow tails it’s about a bunch of friends getting together and being out on the water. We’re just out here having fun and the fish did turn out as big as we anticipated. However excitement always doubles the size of a fish lol.
@@LifeByTheBow No doubt about that! I was kinda comparing if you had to pay for a charter. But I guess most tourists that come to the Keys dont know the difference between a yellowtail and a wahoo anyway! 😎
@@jayjohnson9668 yeah I get you there 👍🏼 but most people are just glad to be out on the water.
want to import your apparel into South Africa
share the Numbers (GPS) spot, please!
We would be crazy to do that lol! Thanks for watching though
WHY BRAND OF BOAT?
Where’s the cooking vid bro
Mickey's Monkey by a group called Mother's Finest
Micky C
Haha that’s right
The pros know that you fish in shallow water on the reef.
I enjoy all your videos but would love to critique something if that would be alright. Trying not to be a troll, it just bothers me when I hear it. It probably came out as excitment so no worries but "Flags" should be fish over 25 inches. I mean I guess everyone has a different opinion to what a flag is but to me, they are the largest of the large. The 2 to 3 pound fish which is a HUGE yellowtail. It's stupid, I know! It's like saying I caught a smoker king and it was 30 pounds. NO....a smoker king is a 50 pound plus fish. Topic of a video maybe?
Appreciate the criticism Joey thanks for looking out 🤙🏼 Never really been too big into yellowtail so I defiantly see how we are using the term flag the wrong way lol
Nice yellow tails but those are not flags a normal size for a flag is 25 inches
Figured this out the hard way lol
@@LifeByTheBow it’s all good I take those 14-15 in all day those are better to eat anyway
@@solidtangent9953 definitely fun to catch 💪🏼
I lived in the keys from 1978 to 2016 sorry but a flag is 5lbs or more.
That’s awesome Jonathan appreciate your input on what a flag yellow tail is. Next time I’ll make sure to weigh every fish before I call it a flag lol. In all seriousness though we’re just excited and having fun.
sharks are getting to lazy
Thanks for watching!
