    It never ceases to amaze me how these yachts with their massive wakes have the entire ocean but choose to steam past 30 feet away.

    • @brianjacobs1886
      @brianjacobs1886 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well the closer they keep you, the better they can keep an eye on you. And come on now like they are probably interested in seeing what action you have going on.

    • @brianjacobs1886
      @brianjacobs1886 ปีที่แล้ว

      I take that back, I am just now seeing those waves and that was just down right ridiculous. What are they attempting to capsize someone.

    Quite literally, "a fishing expedition", with almost everything the phrase implies: jigging, trolling, lures, cut-bait, big fish, small fish, break-offs, and a Shark sighting for good measure. 👍

  • @robthetimekeeper2423
    @robthetimekeeper2423 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Legal sized dinner fish are hard to find on the ocean side in less than 100ft depth due to all the fishing and spearfishing pressure from tourists and locals alike. In a kayak, you would be better off in the backcountry where you only have to compete with other shallow draft boats.

    • @EliasVFishing
      @EliasVFishing  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Good tip. A few fish to eat for this googan with zero clue is just fine 👍

  • @BobAquatic

    Dang king mack, I'd consider that a catch so close to the kayak. Yellowtail is my favorite snapper, fried whole is so tasty. Great video Elias!

    That was a win win. You saw & touched that fish and it self released. i also notice you're zipping along in that Old Town, about 4 mph, it looks faster.

  • @MrEli204
    @MrEli204 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Always drives me nuts when I’m on my kayak and actively fishing and a powered vessel makes no effort to give you a little bit of a wider birth or show some courtesy and drop speed a little. I know it’s not required but it’s nice to show some respect on the water and err on the side of safety. When I’m in my center console I cut to headway speed if I’m within a few hundred feet of a kayak.

  • @scottclausen4406

    Typically it'll be an easterly flow (from the east). Mornings tend to be mild wind. Summertime it can be glassy until late morning and then it'll pick up for afternoon storms

    I’m surprised you were able to troll that minnow and the smaller barracuda not be all over it, I used to live on Big Pine key and most days you couldn’t troll a small minnow plug like that without cuda’s becoming a nuisance. Like you said there’s a lot going on in the waters there.

    At least they slowed so as not to wash you. I caught a 41# king trolling off Egmont in the Gulf. I grabbed the leader and as soon as it was over the gunnel the hook came out of its mouth...macks seem to be good for that.

    Cool seeing even small muttons come up on the jig. You see all these folks fishing for muttons using like forty foot fluorocarbon leaders, fishing ultra finesse. Guess they aren’t afraid of the ol’ brute force method of bouncing a jig either.

    Elias. You kept your cool on the video with that guy. That was not nice but people are people. All boaters know very well what they leave behind. Uh. That wake was like a tsunami man! Second. It happens very often when you leave line slack with big fish like that one. They get easily off the lure. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

  • @claycooper3758

      It’s a lot trickier in NC I realized. There’s so much stuff in the keys in the 1-2 mile range you’d probably find one consistently just trolling spot to spot. Small fishing vessel paradise.

    Crappy weather up here, Ohio, so I'm TH-cam binging,,, wishing I was down there. It's nice to hear you describe what type of structure your fishing,,, 'rocks, drop-off, depth,,,, & how far out. & Like someone else asked, it would be cool if you mentioned how long between hits. like 5 hits in 5 min, ect,,,, When your dragging a plug or lure over those sholes or rock piles, let us know how far down your plugs are diving!? FEELS like we're right there with ya! 😛
