Downwind Sailing in the FLORIDA KEYS (we hit a crab trap)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- tulasendlesssum... We spend a half day fishing inshore by Indian Key and we had almost a complete failure (we caught 1 tiny mangrove snapper). The next day we picked up the hook and in great need of fresh water and supplies sailed straight for Marathon. It was a beautiful downwind run minus one small squall and about a billion crab pot buoys. tulasendlesssum...

That paddle board has really integrated itself well with your lifestyle, might wanna give them a one year product review. Love the videos keep up the great work!
Who could give any of your videos a thumbs down 🤔
Nice to see you settling into your new boat. It looks like things worked out well.
I'm really interested what your basic daily work out consists of.
Please consider making a video touching on this subject in the future, would be incredibly appreciated.
Awesome video as always you two. Can't wait for the Dry Tortuga and Bahama videos.
I wake up here in California and I grab my laptop, go to youtube and first click on your videos...they are so relaxing and remind me of my youth in college majoring in Marine Bio at Cal Poly and desiring to be Jacque Cousteau, the famous marine life explorer and diver. I really appreciate the adventures you 3 share with others!
I really appreciate your editing skills!
You three are The Hollywood Stars of You Tube . Thanks for brightening my day here in upstate frozen NY.
Sierra's background antics are always a hoot. great drone shots Billy. Thanks for letting us tag along.
A bad day fishing is better then a good day not fishing. Lovely sailing weather.
Can't wait to see the drone shot of all the boats at that spot.
Hello, Your Jupiter Creek neighbor: Glad Lake Sylvia worked out.. Great time you are sharing.. Catching up to your Keys voyage!
Good video! Thanks for allowing us to join along.
You videos are just getting better and better guys!!! I blame the new catamaran! Hahaha!! Good job!
It isn't an original thought, but good grief! How did this video collect 8 thumbs down. The story remains fun, the video editing just gets better and better, and the aerials of the boat and the small key you were anchored off of were simply outstanding.
Take care you guys, and know there are lots of people that love you and your sailing.
+John Pelchat haters will be haters. We can live with 8 of them when we have 60k amazing crew members like you!
Hey i love the country music in the background while you guys were fishing 👍
George Horner I was about to make this comment!
I love that you give us specific information, I would like to see more specifics on groceries and prices in your vlogs. I have been watching other traveling vloggers also and find it very helpful to give prices and hacks through your vlogs, even as simple as this sandwich was 9.95.
Billy that was a great gift from Sierra now you can cook up the bait fish with lots of butter and garlic salt for a meal.
It's relaxing to watch you guys, the water and the area. You help lower my blood pressure. :-)
Thanks guys, Go Jetty, your such a good dog 🐕
T Lowe best dog ever... gotta be, she has an emoji 🐕
Another awesome video, thanks for sharing. Up in PA it is like 9 degrees out, so we love watching you guys have fun in the sun!
A lot of boaters aren't very familiar with the nuances of crabs pots so just in case I'll share a few things that'll possibly will help you avoid them. Waterman throw their pots in a long straight line (as straight as possible). This makes pulling them a lot easier. As they are pulling one and approaching the next, they've processed the prior and ready for the next (keep in mind in most cases 'straight line' providing someone unscrupulous hasn't robs one and leaves it out of position). So (unless it's just a few private owners pots) when you see a lot of them, just get an eye on the direction of their line and it's much easier to avoid them. Certainly while sailing and tacing could make that a little tougher but motor travel shouldn't be. Also the tide and possibly heavy wind will determine the direction of the floats. Due to not knowing how long a watermans lines are sort of dictates giving them a decent birth as to avoid wrapping around a prop, damaging an expensive prop and or motor and a waterman's living and and assets. Depending on the water conditions the floats will all be pulled in the same direction. So when you've eyeball ed the line the pots are in, the only other thing to do, is to determine which side of the pots the float is positioned. This then determines if you have to travel near their pots the best and only position is on the outside of the pots float opposite the line and pot - meaning the line is on the other side. Also if and when someone does entangle they are not entitled to the owners crabs and the pot should be return to its position in the line where it was removed from. For a large dead rise to have to manoeuvre their vessel out of this line to retrieve a moved pot - well it creates frustration and more work, fuel, time etc. And technically if the pot was destroyed (like in shallower water the prop hits a pot that is on a float and inline of the other pots (then the error is yours) then one should identify the markings on the floats and contact the waterman (identify the pot owners) to reimburse them for the pot. Hope this helps you and others to avoid them in the future or some other waterfarers. Happy Sails too you (The Tulas).
You guys are really enjoyable to watch! (New suscriber from New Zealand ) Thanks for sharing your adventures !
Having a look at Indian Key on Google maps while watching your vid. Thanks for all your work.
Just watched your video, while me and my wife sit in our boat, with the snow falling down currently. Covering our boat in beautiful new bern , nc ! Great video guys .
Try fishing for snapper without any weight..Hook and leader only. You had the right idea with the live bate. Really enjoy your videos
You guys make such a great couple always working towards the same goal living the dream
Hi Guys, love watching your videos! Have complete admiration for your lifestyle and your passion for life at sea! Watching all the way from Wales (in the UK) keep the videos coming! Xx
Love the drone shots ... beautifully done!! Congrats on living so well and so economically!
Love watching you both !
Great video. Love seeing what you two have to do to make living aboard work. Love the sailing, fishing and exploring the Keys with the dog. When you have time would like to see what the day to day maintenance requirements are for a week/month. Be well!
FUN!, FUN!!, FUN!!! in the Sun. What more can ya ask for? Thanx for the share.
+A Rottie thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!!!
Awesome vlog, your editing has really turned up a notch lately, loving it!
I still can’t get over the living space you get out of those hulls you showed us a while back. I swear it looks like you couldn’t get a cot in there when you watch the videos.
The new boat looks great
I love your videos guys, I don't miss one since may 2017
Awesome video. I'm learning how to sail! Castnet action....nothing beats live bait. Try a live bait under a popping cork or even just a freelined bait with no weight so it can swim around. We catch our mangrove snapper here on wrecks and rigs. I have a few videos on my channel. We chum a little too...that gets them going.
Use a #2 hook with a 1/4 oz egg sinker and live shrimp near the mangroves. Let the sinker slide free and after you cast, leave the bale open until you get a hit and get you some mangrove snapper. You will likely catch grunts as well, but they aren't worth cleaning.
Also you could use a 1/2 oz sinker and a #1 or 1/0 hook with pilchards you cast net with the same method. Nose hook the pilchards and you'll also get your limit on mangroves in no time. I have a sure place in Big Pine guaranteed to get you limited out on big mangroves, but about any place along a mangrove line, preferably a deeper cut will be a winner.
Crap/lobster traps are a real pain and probably worse as you using your shallow draft to sail out of the channels , where they put the trap buoys !
But of course that's why it's fun to have shoal draft! Great video , thanks for posting! Warren
Great video when are you guys going back to the Bahamas them clear water videos were the best!
Hello Hello I see it in the near future...
A little bird 🐦 told me it’s prob on the horizon next 😉
Thanks for posting love the video!!!
Billy looks like your hand sprung a leak! Be safe and have fun.
ah Downwind sailing, feels like there's no wind but the spin is full. Didn't realize you had a catamaran as well
Great drone shots Go to the Sunset Grill and Raw Bar in Marathon. Beautiful sunsets over looking ocean and 7 mile bridge. They even have a pool. Snorkel at Sombrero Reef Light. Enjoy.
+Ray Kelly we def will check it out. Thanks so much Ray!
"Ya, whatever, I know it's not the right way." LOL
You guys have got great with the cam Folks love the boat
Its All About the Bait!
a super fan of your videos
I lived in the key largo area for 2 years on a trimaran. I had the most luck on the bay side with live shrimp. good luck guys.
Make sure you get in touch with Blue Ice charters, and The owner of Schooners Wharf when you come to Key West.
Guys I'm very envious this morning I get up to take the old lady to work at 5:30 it's 25 degrees in Jacksonville and my heater core started leaking. Time for me to go into hibernation. Be safe have fun
Great video man! Loved the music too.
CHUM CHUM and Chum.......Patch reef Yellow tail using small hooks and Floroclear Leader
Excellent video!, really captures the spirit of your sailing adventure.
On the bay side the cut into sunset bay sw end. Anchor on north east end of cut and cast over ledge. Great spot for snapper.
Link up with Key West Kayak Fishing while you are down there. He is the master. No joke.
Next project - Shelter from the sun and rain. You already have a nice structure at the bow.
Hey crew...try trolling slow with the live baits.
You two are getting better & better...maybe your just true sailors at heart.
Stay safe!!
Hi billy
I like it when you give us historical land sites, and some info on it 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Question... are u able to take the sailboat to I guess what you would say the northern side of the key islands 🌴
And when you are sailing the keys, is it all on the southern side of the islands ?
You guys are awesome 😎
Keep living the dream, as long as you can, while you can 🤙🏼
You guys have such am awesome life
The-most/adorable-couple/on TH-cam! Hands-down... Live it... Love it... Love-you...
The pizza at no name bar on no name key is very good. Also a great spot to see key deer.
Correction* it's no name pub on big pine key. Next to no name key.
If you want to learn how to fish in that area checkout Key West Kayak Fishing Channel and South Florida Fishing Channel. Some tips, If you chum they will come, cast nest for pilchard near mangrove islands, chum for ballyhoo in deeper water and use a small hook tipped with bait or cast nest for them. I bet you and the Key West Kayak Channel could meet up and he will show the ways, you all could take out the dingy fishing. Or hook up with South Florida Fishing Guy, he seems to be a good dude.
The Drone Footage is SWEET !!! More shots from that the better in my Opinion? Easier said than done when it comes to Charging the thing on a boat with the rest of you gear as well I can assume? Also My first comment, but I have been following for awhile... I Just bought my First boat an ( 01" 195 Bayliner Capri Sport ) I supper stoked !!! Keep up the good work and your Positive attitude. You guys ever thought about sailing down the British Virgin Islands? Just a thought?
Yessss! It’s def on our list and towards the top 😉
Thanks for sharing 😎
not to mention the weight of the water around 10LB a gallon 800 lbs , great video, and hello from Australia.
You need to get a spinnaker pole. Then you can fly your spinnaker on either side based on your down wind direction. It makes life easier and way more adjustments allowed to get the sail perfect downwind.
I'd love to "go shopping" with you guys. Ever thought of doing a video of shopping for your supplies?
I lke the new entrance , to your video's . dream of being you Billy . :)
Loved the video! Stay safe
no crabs in the Crab Trap bummer they would have been good to eat well at least you're warm it's 18 degrees in Atlanta Georgia this morning have fun you guys
Try using barnacles for bait when fishing under the bridges, Sheepsheads natural diet. Plus they are easy to find. Thanks for another good vid, you guys rock.
Love your videos!
Love the video I can't believe you can't get fish, do you ever use spinners or any kind of lures? Do you ever fish while sail is on ? Hey my daughter and saw something really cool last night! We thought it was snow lightning but it was a meteor ! It showed it's self over Detroit Michigan, and people in Windsor Ontario saw it we live about 20 miles from windsor in Essex and people saw it in Leamington, Wheatley, Wallaceburg Ontario It registered a magnitude 2 on the earthquake scale. Pretty cool ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! What can I say I'm Canadian !!! Happy sailing give Jetty a big hug and kiss from Canada !!!!!
with live bait and flowing tide you need to fin hook one and no weight
and it will swim near the surface great for snook
Adrenaline and her crew hate traps so much! Haha
Nice job on netting those pilchards.... you should free line them next time
Some nice drone shots . Maybe you should try some drone fishing 😆😆
Amazing life ! !
Cool drone shots. and that's why it's called fishing and not catching!
+Ed Sunderland haha you’re right about that!
Very nice video. GOD bless. JC
Nother enjoyable day in the sun
Also, tune into 104.1 US 1 radio to hear about what all is happening while you are down in the middle and lower keys and 103.1 Sun fm middle to upper keys
Enjoyed another one from you guys, when are you going to the VI ?
Man your living the dream
Another 6 pack summer
Hi guys, didn’t you have a netting on the lifelines, thought I remember seeing one on your boat.
new intro....short and sweet
Awesome video are you guys going to go to the Bahamas eventually
When it gets a little warmer, come to Charleston. You two have a place to park the boat at my house and we will cook for you and drink Champagne.
6:16 waiting for youtube knot police lol
Sierra's such a goof :o)
You should watch the Key West kayak fishing channel lol
Looks good and maybe you will catch more fish next time.
Hi guys love your life style I live along the Colorado River in Arizona and want to start paddle boarding i like the idea of a inflatable can you tell me what make you have ? Thanks
+rjshather hey this is the Flying Fish Bermuda. We are pretty happy with it and very impressed with the durability!
Have y’all thought about getting a couple crab traps?
+Tula's Endless Summer ▶ Seeing that small island {Indian Key?} at about 4:27 in the vid reminded me of Dry Tortugas.
Have you two been there, or do you plan on going there in the future?
You guys need to put a water maker on board
I would not be in a hurry to get one. Water makers need power, are complex and are heavy.
Yeah whatever, I know it's not the right way. LOL loved that comment
Cruising= PBJ sometimes..
Wishing I was back in the Keys.
Piers, bridges,docks and mangroves. Fiddler crab best bait,
Then shiner's.. imho.
I was always curious do you guys keep weapons on board? I mean besides knives lol legally of course. With regards to all the places you travel to.
