It’s nice to have a you tuber show the reality of fishing, some times you have a great day sometimes you don’t . It’s still a good day, if you’re on the water.
Doing my part to keep it real! And amen to that!
I love how you double up on how’s it going boys and girls…Welcome to Key West Waterman👍… this is your trademark!!!😉
😂 had several people tell me they can’t stand it. I think it’s funny! Thanks for watching!
I look forward to it…I can’t remember a video that you haven’t done it!!! Keep up the “great” work. We all can’t live every dream that we have, but we live them through others and you’re one of them.👍
Good video, Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing great experience and techniques, we really appreciate that. Being out on the Ocean is great. Catching fish is icing on the cake 🎂. Thanks for sharing
Amen! Thanks so much for watching as always!
Bro right when u pulled up on the grounds I love that silence out on the water befor sunrise 🌅. Beautiful
Right! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hey Aaron. That was the first time in a video that you showed your shop/garage/toy store. You should do a video on the gear you have for all kinds of fishing as well as your diving gear. Do a toy store tour😊thanks again for the great content. JT
haha that's not a bad idea! lots of fun stuff in there! lol thanks so much for watching sir!
As a fisherman we always say that’s why they all it fishing and not catching.😎 still awesome to see you out there in that paradise.
always true! I've had worse days that's for sure!
Rad videos, something I learned on those wire twists is that I always thought the end barrel twists are what held the connection tightest/strongest. After doing some pull testing I learned that the twists leading up to the barrel twists are what really hold the connection together. The barrel twists tend to slide on the mainline when loaded where as the twists before that are less likely to slide and stay in place. I say test it out some pull tests with a few more wraps before the barrel wraps and see. Also try it on some ligther wire as you wont have to pull as hard to see results.
Yup! It will slide down like that. But I’ve never had one pop in my life… yet lol. Been tying those since i was a kid making stinger rigs for my dad. Over the years i slowly and subconsciously started removing the pretwist.
Probably not too exciting for you but I really enjoyed the video of you just taking off from your backyard for those snapper. I wouldn't mind seeing any structures along the way. Kinda like mtv cribs, but down the canal.
haha I do appreciate it! ill try to get some more episodes out like that, there's only so much to see out behind the house is the only problem!
Same here i liked that video, i would love to see more aswell
Best youtube fish video I've ever seen. You get it!!! Show alittle bit of rigging, talk alittle tackle, describe conditions, fish, take a 0. End video A++++
haha do appreciate it!
Glad to see someone post the good days as well as the bad days. I would say a bad day fishing beats a good day of work, but that’s not true in your case!
Haha right!
The realest of fishing TH-camrs right here. Thanks for keeping it real.
haha thanks for watching!
Bad day of fishing still better than a good day at work! Long time viewer in Miami.
amen! thanks so much for watching brother!
Any time on the water is a good day! Thanks for sharing your experiences! Great Job!
Amen!
You should have been a teacher well you are great Job keeps me going all that sun shine you have just shoved three feet of snow off
my roof.love your vids...💯
haha really do appreciate it! and no thank you!
Awesome videos, not to sound like a stalker but we saw your boat while walking around waiting for out table the other night. We just moved our son to KW from Georgia. He can't wait to get out and fish!
thats awesome! he's gonna love it! such an amazing place!
This brings to mind something my dad always told me when we would go fishing and get blanked. That's why they call it fishing and not catching. As always, I enjoy your videos.
haha amen!
Sometimes its good to re-watch your u-tubes 😊
Even without a fish we sure love watching the the trips!!
I try to drop a dose of reality every now and again!
love it when he uploads twice in a week
Haha try to from time to time!
Good job Captain . Good luck 🎣🐟.
Thank you!
Hey Aaron, very nice video as usual. I use close to the same set-ups in NE FL(16's 0n Terez's). What a few of us struggle with is the "proper" drag strike settings(procedures) and how to set it up(scale, feel specs, etc.), including the neutral knob "rule". Might be a tad involved but we'd certainly enjoy to see how you set up if you are willing to share. Thank You
after I filmed the video I honestly thought about that, I plan on doing more wahoo fishing when they pick back up so I'll mention my take on it! thanks so the feedback really do appreciate it!
One day for you one day for them… I appreciate you showing this video this is the reality.. most people don’t have the guts to do that on the many TH-cam channels..
I do appreciate that! Just trying to keep it real sometimes!
Enjoying your talents 😉
Funny thing, if you screenshot at about the 5:10ish mark, you'd think that you were in Cali with a mountain in the background. 🤣 Low 🌨️☁️☁️🤣
Haha right! 😂
Hey Aaron on the minnow side, I would recommend using a solid ring or another swivel to the split ring. Have seen the hay wires actually get under the split ring.
that's wild! never actually had that happen. to be honest I hardly ever troll hours on end. and check my rigs after each troll and change them after each fish. but I do appreciate the feedback, theres a first time for everything...
@@KeyWestWaterman for sure! Also makes it easy to change lures (using split ring pliers) without having to wire up another rig if they’re hot on a specific color or type of lure.
Absolutely...we lost a couple of pricey nomads before we figured out why. I thought they had started shipping the lures with solid rings vs split rings...but a new one showed up last week with a split ring. Was wondering if it was 'old stock'...
I've been out in the same area the past couple breaks in the wind and haven't caught ANY! Hopefully better luck when we catch another break this weekend.
they are elusive for sure! just keep at it!
I like authentic contents. This video is on point.
🙏
Beautiful day to be out at sea
Amen!
I made it im at stock island yacht club today was awesome went out to the mud island sand bar and went and got lobster for dinner!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
That is awesome! Happy to hear it!
The reality of fishing love it
keeps me going back!
Great that you posted a video of you not catching one. Reality is good. Thanks.
Try to keep it real from time to time!
How refreshing is a lil bit of reality…. 👍
Haha!
Nice vid Aaron. Short and sweet. Guess you can't catch 'em every time haha. Keep it up though my guy!
I wish I could! but its reality!
Great vids! Check out some safety wire pliers for twisting that wire, super easy to use and find. I used to use them on the farm to tie wire ends. Will save the fingers for sure.
do appreciate it!
Stop doubting yourself, vids are great.
Haha thank you!
I'm going to try for some Wahoo this Saturday out off Pompano Beach. Hopefully...get SOMETHING. Might throw a swimming ballyhoo on the downrigger if I start marking them deep.
Good luck hope you whack em!!!
Can't get them every time. I go over hills just with the engine on forward at 800 RPM live goggle eyes. One Way Way back one closer and the other one a bit closer. It's been working but you know how fishing is some days everything goes right some days you do your best and not one bite that's fishing. Great way of showing how to throw those lip lures. Have a great one
Yup that’ll work too! Thanks so much for watching sir!
intro is really good perfect time not too short and not 2 minutes long
I do appreciate it! try to keep em guessing
What made you want to guide for a living? It’s been a dream of mine so any advice or even a episode on its own talking about the pros and cons would be really appreciated. Awesome video brother
honestly happened on accident! I plan on making a video about it, it's been highly requested!
Wait, is this Monday? Where did my weekend go? Lol. Now that's my kind of alone time.
😂 right!
Agree with Al Lewis! Unfortunately, the "don't" is my reality 90% of the time! Still, i really liked the tutorial on the Wahoo rig set up. Hopefully we'll have some show up here in SOCAL this coming season. Until then, keep the videos coming. Thanks again Aaron.
Haha it’s a lot of our realitys! Thanks so much for watching glad you enjoyed the channel!
Great video man !! I missed it last night !!
Haha no worries thanks for watching sir!
@@KeyWestWaterman yes sir !!
Appreciate this one! Definitely gonna be trying this setup!
caught a bunch on it this year!
Nice man I was saying to myself if I ever went out I would ask them how to rig the reels
theres lot of different ways to do it, just how I do mine!
If you ain't been skunked you don't Feesh! Good Vid Lil Bubs
Haha amen!
Love the work shop
Me too!
Surprise! A second video this week… Surprise! I don’t catch something every time I try 👍🏻👍🏻 One of the best ways to catch a sunrise though
Haha right!
Most wahoo I have caught have been by accident . One example was the wife and I where in a debate and in our debate I accidentally hit the throttle and caught a 90 lb wahoo on a red and white cedar plug, go figure. Oh ,but of course I won the debate, but lost in other important areas, 😆 🤣 😂. Great video 📹 Sir
Lmfao! That’s amazing!
People only want to see the good catch, but this is the reality 🔥🔥💪💪 I like the video
Happy to hear it! Trying to keep it real!
A "bad" day down there is still a bazillion times better than being a Florida man stuck in the NC foothills. We catch zero wahoo here..
I can't argue that!
I literally like myself more.i don't feel so bad as being the top dog in the "can't catch shit" club!... 😂
😂😂😂 we’ve all been there!
You are messing me up. It’s not Monday! Keep the videos coming.
lol! gotta keep you on your toes!
Hey Aaron what’s the Amberjack situation like off the keys? Do you charter for them much? That is my favorite fish to catch
Have you gotten a chance to soesr one? I know on rod and reel they fight like no other fish. I’d be interested to see what it’s like to shoot one
yea we catch them from time to time, not my favorite fish to eat so its not often I try to spear them. the smaller ones aren't too bad. but can make a video on them if you'd like!
that's fast,.same rig i would use,as they can be very wire shy ,drifting live mackerel is sometimes the only way to get there attention back in SA.they are fussy buggers,lol.
haha if we have the choice we like to live bait them. but even then can be picky! thanks for watching!
Keeping it real in TH-camland 🤙🤙
Trying to!
It’s awesome that you keep it real, it’s fishing and try to make it catching but thats not always the case. Great video.
I try to from time to time without boring y'all to death!
Thanks for keeping it reel!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Aaron, have you tried using a bibless minnow in a plain white body/red head colour? They seem to do well here in Australia, I wonder if they’ll work for you?
I’ve used almost all the colors there are. Haha think it’s just luck of the draw!
@@KeyWestWaterman I figured you probably had, just thought I’d ask as a lot of people tend to forget that the “old fashioned” lure colours still work!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Buddy, you must first bend the wire 45 degrees and twist a few times and then turn the wire 90 degrees on it self and turn them tight against each other. The way you doing it now it will pigtail if you hook that dream fish. Just from my own experience. Tight lines
I’ve never in my life had one pop. But appreciate the tip!
@@KeyWestWaterman please don't let it be that monster fish, lol. I really like your shows, and how you explain in detail. Keep it up mate. Cheers
Pretty cool litter tackle shop ypu got there!
its coming along thats for sure!
@@KeyWestWaterman looks good for sure. I'm a little jealous!
It makes me nervous using such a small swivel. What brand is that swivel you use and do you prefer any certain color swivel (gold, silver, black etc.) ?
I can't remember off the top of my head, I see a lot of guys using bigger swivels that work just fine. I think they only make them in black. should say it on the package.
@@KeyWestWaterman Right on thanks man!!! Keep up the great work….
What are the specs on those terez rods? Looking at getting the same setups. Are they the 50-100 braid rating?
nice reels.. Have you ever used a Stella? there my favorite reels!! cool channel BTW
I have not. Charter fishing i don’t have the best of the best. Shit gets beat to hell
@Key West Waterman totally agree, I use it personally. If I chartered I wouldn't either. Just curious if you did. 👍
Is the speedmaster 12 big enough to land a wahoo over 50 pounds trolling a plug?
Depends on the angler/captain but yes more than possible.
Do you have prolems with the Nomads swimming right after a few fish?
Yea I’ve had issue with them recently. A couple years ago i didn’t. Seems like they changed manufacturers or something.
@@KeyWestWaterman same here. They’ve lost their spunk the last few years.
Those bajio’s glass or poly? And blue lenses I assume?
I honestly have no idea. Lol the model is nato
Its always better to be out on the water than sitting on the dock.
amen!
Hey,Ya gave it a shot''
I did!
The KWWM way, and then there is Will’s way!
lol right!
I just heard your are gonna be spearfishing with blue gabe again?
Lol you must have the inside track!
Research The PR knot. It requires a PR bobbin. The only true 100% knot. The Uni to uni is big knot, hard through the guides. I'm big on Tarpon fishing, and that knot is legit.
Will def check it out! I do appreciate it!
That's why they call it fishing and not getting. Another REAL day on the water...I like real life.....
Amen!
how do you navigate in the dark with so many commercial buoys out there?
I have a spreader light. Lights them up.
I notice you have a lot of Yeti 5gal buckets. (by that i mean 2 or more) I am for the foreseeable future, living half my time in and out of helicopters then pseudo camping and 5gals have been doing it for me for a lot of things. Should i own these remarkable spendy buckets?
haha yea I have a few, only reason being doing what I do. your standard 5 gallon bucket flies out of the boat, gets cracked, dry rotted and all sorts of other stuff. after about $300 in Home Depot buckets I decided to make the ridiculous purchase. i'm happy I did they take a beating
The reality of it. Cheers bro wish I could sub 2x
Thanks so much!
Keeping it *reel. I like it.
Haha!
Good vid. appreciate it
Thanks for watching!
nice one too
thanks for watching!
Clickbaited😂. Thanks!! Good info!!
haha try to keep It real!
You caught any fork tailed smoothies yet?
yea idk what that means lol
The goat.
haha nope! thanks for watching brother!
Love the videos I’m on big pine gonna try to go for cobia out in the gulf Tom good idea or no
honestly no idea I haven't been out there yet this year. probably gonna still be pretty stirred up from this wind. would imagine a little bumpy still. but only one way to find out!
@@KeyWestWaterman ended up seing about 3 thousand jack revals about 8 thousand tuna busting the water and 40 nurse sharks Following the jacks we cought one I have a video and some pics it was amazing
Greetings from Germany 🇯🇲🇩🇪🙏
awesome! thanks so much for tuning in!
Can't be a winner everytime
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman always will I love fishing
👍👍
Thanks as always sir!
Yoooooooo dude , MY CAP ?
yo dude!
Hi ..
When trolling you must agree that the lure used the speed the bait the moon stage hour of the day play a big combine role.
if you don't have enough knowledge of the sport know from me that you always must change the way you pickup or slow the speed.
🤙🏻
💯💯💯💯👍
thank you!
Do you do charter for wahoo
I do when conditions are right!
@@KeyWestWaterman ok i will be on contact whit u
I Want a charter with the waterman
Haha! I do em all the time!
It's called fishing, not catching! We were just saying that Wednesday as we were sitting on the ice getting flags but no fish. Frigging crappie! Anyways, ended up getting a few fish eventually!
haha amen to that! keeps me going back!
@@KeyWestWaterman my mouth started watering when you walked by the Hogfish. 🤣 Margherita's and wahoo sammich yo!!!
It's called fishing, not catching for a reason :). I think that if you are a fisherman, days like this come naturally.
Amen!
Got to say i wouldn't be trolling wahoo without a rod leash, risky business.
Nahhh it’ll be fine!
Would you rather:
80lb cubera or world record hogfish..😁
20 lb hogfish, who cares about a world record!
Love the videos. Maybe Google haywire twist yourself.... first 3-7 twists need to be the wires twisting around each other then your barrel wrap so the knot doesn't slip
yup, that's your standard haywire, I start mine tight. I've never had a single one in my life pop. but that's just me! like I said its not the right way just my way! thanks so much for watching!
Was about to say the same thing. I totally understand "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but please hear me out... next time you're chillin with the boys, having a brew or two, bust out a coil of wire and two screwdrivers for grips, and have a tug of war style knot contest. Haywire vs. Barrel wraps. We used to do this on slow days at the tackle shop and the look on people's faces when those barrel wraps came unrolled at ~50% breaking strength was priceless. Not trying to be an internet know-it-all, just returning the favor for all the free knowledge you've dropped for the community. Anyways, love your stuff man, much respect for living the dream.
I fish in Cuba 16oz 32oz 47oz
how's the fishing down there?
There is always tomorrow
Amen!
Can I invest into ur company ? Time for a new boat 😀
Haha she’s a work boat! Love this thing!
Where da fish is ??
