Thanks for the "shout out" (Ralph) at 5:40. Had alot of fun with the Cravelles that day. I tried the Yellow Jack raw recipe as described at end of video. DELISH. You rock Elias.
I grew up fishing that bridge. It is not what it used to be. However, you definitely experienced a good mutton bite window on your other trip. The tides, moon phases, and weather all have a big affect on the fishing there. Keeps us coming back to recreate those special moments when the stars align. Glad you had fun brother 👍🏼
I have appreciated you recently showing the few seconds before you hook into a fish so we get an idea on how you are working your bait. Enjoying the content, keep it up.
Sometimes I am not getting a good shot due to turning my head. Otherwise I’ll try to include it
Dude, Jack fight like crazy, never bored with seeing you catch em!
hi, I find your widios very entertaining, keep it up. nice greetings from Germany
❤ 🇩🇪🇩🇪
Nice school of Jacks you ran into there and healthy looing ones.. I've eaten plenty of them and to top it off they give a great fight.
Yellow jacks, grouper and more that's a good day of fishing
Good stuff as always. Fishing is fishing, the good thing about kayaking is it's like micro fishing. Given the time, you can learn every structure. The Keys them self would take years to "master", so much water and your only fishing the gulf. Deep water on the east is def a big boat game.
Thanks Elias
Great video as always. I especially appreciate the reality clips of the strugglea of kayaking, that's keeping it real, not every trip is gonna be screaming reels and epic days. I learn a lot from how you solve your challenges on the water. Tight lines always. Keep it up.
Thank you, Elias.
34° and lite rain in Sabine,Tx today.
Enjoy all your content.
Elias sorry to tell you! But these Key West videos are hands down the best! I lived and fished the keys for many years! You've made me learn new techniques I never thought worked on the finicky fish! You are the freakn man! What a shame we gotta wait till February! You should move down here and get awesome content daily! Wait till you try night fishing down here...youd be surprised the massive Snooks,Shark, Snappers and Tarpons show up! It's all about timing these temp changes!
Those big toothy fish are why I can't get in a yak down there. I have seen a 10+ footer off a bridge. You definitely become part of the food chain. Thanks for making me feel warm and fuzzy! Tight lines!
Haha I sort of got used to it.
Yeah. It’s a little dicey. The biggest shark I saw at that bridge was a 17 foot hammerhead. Might have been the fabled “Big Moe” people talk about in the keys. Monster… had a small school of tarpon on his tail as he swam through.
If you grow up living in Florida, you get use to alligators and sharks. IMO you can generally be in the environment with them, provided you respect them and keep a healthy distance. I have found both alligators and sharks (if not hand fed by man) to not have any interest in humans. That's just me. You do what you are comfortable with.
Fish species diversity truly is our strength. 😅 Good stuff.
Are u kiddin me?
I’d be more than satisfied catching those fun size crevalle all day long…. They call em “canal tuna” for a reason. Lol. Great job as always Ellias 👍🏻
nothing wrong with catching those guys, they are great fun to catch and although not good eating, you can eat them if you want to, so they are the perfect fish to catch and put back!
I’ve been loving your Florida keys fishing videos and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks for the great content
Thanks for watching!
Glad the weather didn't screw up your trip. I'll have to try sashimi style next trip. Have a safe drive home.
solid florida trip - lots of great video and some big fish, great variety, good gear plus even some shark encounters
Another great video. Really loved the Key West videos. Of course I love all your videos. I'm from SC maybe one I will be able to go down there fishing. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for taking us along!!!!!!
Wahh aku suka melihatnya kawanku.anda sedang mancing sambil naik perahu begitu sibuknya menarik ikan sangat besar besar luwar biyasa pokonya mantap ❤❤
In 1968, my dad took us fishing at the Bahia Honda state park and, l caught my first saltwater fish. Been reeling since then 😊
I can tell you what I'm saying, what luck out fishing and catching while i'm here up north with the temps 25 degrees and blowing every other day. Shorts and water shoes... not for another 4 months at least. In life it's always about perspective. Thanks for the warm video have fun and catch'em up!
Thanks for sharing your Florida fishing,really enjoyed the vids.👏🏼👏🏼
A long way from NYC .... thanks for taking us along....
When I think of Bahia Honda and being intimidated, I think of my father-in-law driving across the asphalt on top of that old truss railroad bridge in 1972 before they shut it down. Gives me the willies.
Have you thought about checking out Flamingo on one of your south Florida trips?
The highlight this trip was definitely the mutton snappers. 👍
What a great video to watch - thanks
There is a definite lack of fish cleaning stations in the Keys. I swear the Bahia Honda is the southernmost point of overwintering Jack Crevalle in the U.S. I am surprised you didn't hook a giant Jack especially under U.S.1. For the start of incoming tide and green water after a front you were fishing your results added up. You can't pick your tides but green water on an outgoing is great fishing!
Love all your videos. I used to love fishing but now I’m perm disabled and can’t. Wish I could get some of those fresh fish to eat tho
Wow I'd love a few pieces of that! I don't think there's a species of saltwater fish that I've caught that I haven't tried sashimi style! Sometimes, I just like a sprinkle of very fine sea salt. Either way, good eats...thank you!
Really enjoy your videos, thanks
Enjoyed the content Brother 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
YOU'RE A PRO AT YOUR JOB
I just got back from fishing around the Naples and Fort Myers area. The weather was ruff and unpredictable. Was a bust but one nice 18 inch fat trout.
Id watch this googan catch jacks all day
Watching you catch jacks is way better than sitting here in NJ wishing I was there now!
Ngl im sitting around waiting for these to drop😂
Thank you!
We need more keys fishing videos bro !!
Born and raised fishing in Southeast Florida S.W.- W. winds were always the worst fishing for me.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe…!!!
VERY COOL FISHING YOU HAVE
wait you fell out of the kayak??? id love to see you go for a swim in the drink.😃🏊♂🏊♂of course with out getting hurt.
You always make great videos.
Try my best.
@@EliasVFishing hope we get to film together next fall for salmon. I’m lining up everything now. I’ll do the foot work and have 3 GoPros to record it.
Great video series. Love to see you go through the process of learning the area.
Having a bite on almost every drop is hard to complain about, even if it’s the same species. Ot makes you remember the skunk days in the cold…..
Great adventure, thanks for bringing us along.
Cheers
Nice trip!
Fun vid’-jack crevalles notwithstanding.
What the world needs now is a sophisticated version of Elias! (NOT!) Keep it real, my man!
Very good!😃
Good fishing
Great video
Hey, great video’s! When you bleed your fish in the keys on the side of your kayak, do you ever see a shark come up to you ? I cringe every time I do it here in Clearwater 😅.
It all builds character.
Midwestern resident here. I'm going down to Florida to do some fishing in February. We usually just use live shrimp and do ok. Any tips for when we are down there as far as where to go or what to go for? Also, are you supposed to bleed your fish before you put them on ice or does it not matter? Happy fishing, all.
Sangat keren memancing di laut 👍👍👍
What all pedal kayaks do you use? And which ones have you tried? I've got a used hobie 14' pro angler, but we'd like to pick up a second one as a backup/for other people to tag along.
Heak yea. Love the content
My man saying "eh not as good as pompano" like that doesn't include 98% of the fish I've ever eaten. lol
Elias thanks for the Keys fishing segments - If you have never been to the Keys it is a magical place to visit and to go fishing - the waters are super clear and the fishing is top notch.
Add some coconut aminos to the sushi instead of soy next time. Much better IMO.
Seems you had excellent conditions that day. In your opinion, 10lb Jack Cravale vs. 10lb Bluefish, which one offers a stronger fight? I have only caught gator blues off of Long Island and Staten Island. Never a JC when in Florida.
I think the jacks are stronger for sure!
Nice!
very cool
Did you not brain that fish before putting it in the cooler?
Just a quick question. What sized Jigpara jigs are you using? Thanks.
10g
@@EliasVFishing thank you.
Never understood why people look down on jacks. I guess I get it if you're trying to catch something for the table, but they fight great!
How many memory cards and batteries do you use on a normal day of fishing?
Does the green water mean it's not incoming tide?
Not necessarily.
Are you staying at an Airbnb or resort?
Didnt know people ate jacks. How do you prep and cook?
Jack crevalle can be made a few ways. Honestly all the other fish swimming out there including barracuda are generally better imo.
Miss the Keys but not what they have become.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
Raw fish .not ready for all that. You kill them buddy. I watch fishaholic too
What motor is that?
From east TN someone eekks lets goo...
Limits on yellow jack would b so sad 😭
🎣🤙🏼
As to Soy ... Only use Kikkoman !!
Yamasa.
Why not throw some cut bait over the side on your heaviest rig and we'll go on a Florida Keys sleigh ride?
Rather not leave hooks in sharks. Seems to be looked down on quite a bit.
I’d rather eat the grunt than a yellow jack
Only a honcho pull a 2' fish out and say mehh...its just a jack...🤔😅
You CANT NOT catch fish with a stash like that. Kayak Earp SLAYS fish EVERYTIME
Personally I watch your videos to see the adventure, regardless what you catch. Unless of course there were like 10 videos in a row of catching nothing then I might stop watching lol
Also watching the end of the video, you know our pain fishing in FL. I go out of Ponce and Cape Canaveral and it's such a weird fishery. Some days I limit on many different species and others we catch literally nothing.
Your fish would be better if you put him in the salt bride
I've always done better fishing the old bridge.
