This has been an INCREDIBLY helpful video, thank you! I'm bringing four teenagers down to Marathon in two weeks and we rented a boat for some near shore fishing. Going to follow you for more. Thanks!
Great video!!! Man I don’t know how I found this channel but glad I did. As a kid born and raised in KW I remember the days when we would slay the yellowtail and groupers!!! Man I miss home!! New sub!!
A lot of good lil reef nuggets sprinkled in this vid .. some of i already do on the reef north of you up in lauderdale .. i really liked the bouy ball on the anchor trick tho and im gonna go to sailor man and grab me a bigger ball for this weekend .. Thanks Captn gotcha a new sub 😎👍
Thanks for the info on the anchoring system. I am down in Marathon right now. Every dive that I go on, I see a delta anchor stuck on the reef. Also, good info on the yellowtailing.
That was some great yellowtail fishing!! You really have them dialed in! I need to make a trip down to the keys to fish with you!! I'm in Pompano Beach but I am from the Bahamas and Ill tell you not only does barracuda taste great as a fried fish it makes even a better bait for huge snapper! Try it once and you will love it and catch one a day!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep the second anchor as well! I use mine while diving, fishing the bay, fishing the edge of patch reefs where I anchor in sand so I don't hit the coral etc. The basket is for the reef edge mainly.
I’m a new subscriber and thank you for the informative video. Just some FYI that’s a Cable Tie NOT A ZIP TIE. They are used in Cable Trays by Commercial / Industrial Electricians hence “CableTie”. Trying to spread the knowledge. I appreciate the video and thank you.
Yes, if you do a lot some of the bait shops sell them in 50# bags. A 2 gallon bucket is nice to mix with some salt water to gum them up a bit and get a large spoon/small ice scoop to pull them out with.
Awesome video for yellow-tail technique. I fish off of Boynton Beach. Aside from adopting your technique for yellow-tail in general, can you recommend tips for that area?
@@marathonsportfishing Boynton beach is 30min south of West Palm Beach. We do have an ocean inlet that blows bait in and out with the tides (and we use those tides to time our Wahoo trolls). There are 3 reef-lines running-north south for about 15 miles in both directions. The first reef is in 1mile out from the beach 40--90ft. depth (we avoid this area like the plague when bottom fishing because of snags) . The second reef is 1-1/2 miles out 90-120ft. depth (less rocky) . The third one is not actually a reef, but instead a steep ledge starting at 2 miles and 238ft. and goes deeper (300-400-500ft++ depth) the further you go out. If you will contact me directly, I can provide you a CMOR maps screenshot so you can see the actual bottom. Thank you, in advance. Cell 561-445-zero-five-zero-eight. David.
OK here is one link that suggests what size to get: www.hiniumarine.com/product-detail/grapnel-folding-anchors/. I bought the grapple I use 3 boats ago for a 26' and it still seems to be working with the 33'6 but I have not had it down in real nasty conditions (nor do i plan too LOL)
Thanks for tuning in. As far as the tide goes, my description is correct. Check the NOAA charts, your Garmin charts or whichever platform you use. Here is the data for Long Key AKA the 3 mile bridge today, note that slack falls in the middle of Ebb and Flood. Tue -- 01:07 AM -0.00 knots Slack Tue -- 04:14 AM -1.54 knots Max Ebb Tue -- 07:00 AM Sunrise Tue -- 07:21 AM 0.00 knots Slack Tue -- 07:47 AM Moonset Tue -- 10:01 AM 1.27 knots Max Flood Tue -- 01:05 PM -0.00 knots Slack Tue -- 04:28 PM -1.80 knots Max Ebb Tue -- 07:46 PM 0.00 knots Slack Tue -- 07:52 PM Sunset Tue -- 08:50 PM Moonrise Tue -- 10:30 PM 1.40 knots Max Flood
For mangrove I would use pinfish on a jig or knocker rig on the bottom. I would fish the patch reefs vs reef edge, use the chum block in the cage to bring them in.
Might suggest a new way to measure yellow tails. On my boat, they have to be at least 11 inches to qualify as a flag, and 12 inches in order to be a true large grade flag. ( FYI,,, 21:06 We measure them point to point, and of course, that is the measurement of the flag portion of the fish. Point to point on TAIL SPREAD). Those, are truly FLAGS.
OK I bought it 3 boats ago...LOL...it was scaled for a 26' The anchor works by clawing into the rock and hooking it not by weight. Most stores that sell them know the size you would need.
I hate to break the news, but your interpretation of tide flow is exactly the opposite of reality. The tide flow reverses direction at the time of minimum low and maximum hi tides - that is the point of zero tide flow. The maximum flow rate occurs at the midpoint between high and low tides. Differential calculus defines this point of zero flow rate as the horizontal slope of the tangent to the curve, which occurs at the highest and lowest point on the curve. Any idiot watching tide flow at any tidal bay inlet can verify this - as the tide flow approaches a change in direction, the flow slows, stops, then reverses.
Hey thanks for the info but I am correct. In a progressive wave, the maximum flood and ebb will occur around the times of the high and low tides, with the slack water occurring between the times of high and low tide. If you would like to come down and dive the bridges with me looking for lobster, that will help clear up any misconception of when slack tide occurs.
@@marathonsportfishing We're not talking about a progressive wave but a tide - the large scale rise and fall of the oceans caused by the sun and moon. I dive and snorkel all the time. I'm also an engineer. The minimum flow - zero - occurs when the flow direction changes - at high and low tides, where the slope of the tangent to the tide elevation curve is horizontal. Maximum flow rate occurs at midpoint between the high and low tides, when the tangent to the curve is at approximately 45 degrees from horizontal. Review your differential calculus.
@@marathonsportfishing let me explain it with an automobile analogy - when you reverse your auto direction, do you reverse at full speed ?? no - you slow down, stop and start reverse from zero. The tide flow into a bay or inlet works the same, the flow slows down, stops, then reverses course. The maximum flow rate is approximately halfway between low and high tides.
I look at it differently, first look at the garmin, it'll give you slack time. In this location it lands between high and low, not on the top or bottom. I can tell you for a fact that this is correct. If you would like to put some fins in the water and check it out, i'll drop you on a bridge at high or low peak and you can determine for yourself if it is slack or ripping!
OK so in the earlier post: In a progressive wave, the maximum flood and ebb will occur around the times of the high and low tides, with the slack water occurring between the times of high and low tide. This comes from NOAA, I didn't make it up!
Yo I love your videos but seriously the first 10 minutes of this video all you've done is talk. All the other saltwater people I've watched on here and it's either saltwater fishing or it's paranormal now. When are you going to start fishing? That's where we all come to see you. Catch beautiful. Nice size fish. But so far the first 10 minutes all you do is talk
I actually rewinded the first few minutes to properly understand what you were trying to explain. I really learned a lot from you talking and explaining what you were doing. I watched the video at least three times already. Please keep instructional videos like this coming. Very informative. Thank you!
I was just down in Marathon the 6/21 to 6/28. Fished the reef every night roughly 8pm to 2am. Fantastic snapper fishing! The bite started every night at moon rise or shortly before. The yellowtails would bite first then the monster mangroves would move in. Caught a ton of 16”-22” yellowtail and mangroves. I think our biggest YT was 21.5”. We were catching so many we self imposed a 14” minimum, then a 16” minimum. We limited on YT and mangroves every night. First night there we got a late start (about 9:30 pm) so we shot out to the Bamboo Banks and limited out on mangroves (25) in about 2 hours, but the fish were not as big as offshore. Still a lot of fun though.
Why would you be yellowing on the front of the boat when your Chum is going back bottom. Man, I would so much teach you'll how to do this. Back in the 90's we (my buddy) and i had a 4foot 6" pvc pipe filled with holes and that along with 3/4 chum blocks would go down the anchorline plus the two in the back of the boat. ALso we fished spinners with 20# ande so we could just get them on the boat.
Nice video, wish I had watched it before I set up my grappling anchor. I had 10ft of chain on it, was over 100ft of water off Key Largo and lost it with rope! As you said, prob the chain wrapped around rocks :(
Customers are more likely not to have a good experience with their product and are likely not able or willing too use it in their own personal way and therefore are more inclined to use their products in their business own 25:10
Great video , I am very new fishing saltwater could you show or post the links of the jigs you use and what bait is best for yellow tail ; last time I went fishing i had a ton of yellow tails behind my boat but only a few bites with a small spoon ; I have a lot to learn ; thanks
There is a link to the jigs in the description. OK for bait: live shrimp, hook in the tail, small chunks of ballyhoo, small chunks of bonita or frozen shrimp. Try the oats as well and the technique i used in the video. I use 12# mono for them., clear
@@marathonsportfishing thanks I appreciate it . I fish in the golf of Mexico in the fort myers area. What do you recommend to troll for mahi mahi in this area any depth that I should be targeting or any good places you know off ? Thanks
What you're calling a "slack" tied at 12 noon, is the middle of an outgoing tide (strongest current) before it empties out completly around 3 to 3:30 pm and begins to change direction and the tide comes back in. This is the point of a slack tide. Zero current and tide changing direction. Youre showing us a (x,y) graph of time vs elevation. The steapest slope is when the highst current is occuring.
UMMMM OK, slack tide occurs in our location between peak of high and low, and vise versa. It varies every tide period. You can check the garmin for verification, or just try to dive the bridges for lobster and you will quickly understand when slack occurs.
Thank you for sharing all that you shared. Will be heading to Marathon in July and the tips you provided,including the anchoring, will benefit myself and family. Great video!
Thanks for the great video. Got to be careful with those dry oats in the wind hitting the deck and getting wet and then slimy and making the deck a skating rink.
OK so i have a few of them but this is my fav. Penn Battle II 4000, 12# mono, BTL1017S70 7' 10-17# rod. The 7' rod is a must, gives some flexibility for fighting the fish. An 8' may be better yet! Thanks for tuning in, Tight Lines!

Curious as to how you can tell that the slack tide is in the middle when looking at the water level chart instead of the current chart?
The slack lands in the middle. Compare both charts and let me know how they look.
Question I had as well. This whole time I thought the slack was at the top and bottom. Learn something new everyday
Great video captain. Any regular oats is good for yellows?
Yes, if you do a lot some of the bait shops sell them in 50# bags. A 2 gallon bucket is nice to mix with some salt water to gum them up a bit and get a large spoon/small ice scoop to pull them out with.

Does this technique work with mangrove snapper
For mangrove I would use pinfish on a jig or knocker rig on the bottom. I would fish the patch reefs vs reef edge, use the chum block in the cage to bring them in.

Thanks for the view, over 95% of the comments liked the video, did need to do a cooking side, I was moving at the time and it was a bit difficult.
