- Key West Kayak Cooking - Yellowtail Ceviche (quick recipe) and a Snapper Limit.
Headed out to the edge of the reef to do some Yellowtail Snapper fishing. For this trip, I wanted to use a special chum mix called Yellowtail slop. It is made up of a defrosted block of chum, oats, sand, and fish bits. This mixture acts as normal chum, but also clouds the water, making it harder for the fish to see the line and hook.
To make things interesting, I also prepared a Yellowtail Ceviche using a quick and easy 3 ingredient recipe. After cutting up the Yellowtail filet into dime size pieces, I added the juice of one large lemon. You want enough to basically saturate all the fish. I then let it rest in the cooler for a half an hour to "cook". Once it is done, I pour in some jarred salsa (enough to taste) and it is done. You can also dress ir up as much as you like with avocado or fresh cilantro. This was the quick version so as basic as possible. Scoop it up with some chips, and you have an awesome on the water snack.

your not just a good angler bro, your a good self food recipe maker. With a good sense of humour, keep it up.
Appreciate that Troy. Thanks for watching.
troy casinillo I
You make my day when I watch your videos. Dad took us every summer starting in 1957 when I was 6yrs old. He made a Conch dish as you do ( it was legal then)... chewy but delicious. Thank you....I'm not physically able to do much anymore so bringing me along is very special.
Yea, have to run over to the Bahamas to get it now. But then again, I hardly ever see the Conchs on the flats like back in the day. Probably need to keep it that way for a while. Commercial fishing can do some damage. Feel free to tag along. I think you will have a lot of company with all the snowed in people up North. Watch videos to get Vitamin E. LOL. Just watch real close to the monitor.
this guy is doing some legendary things right now in the middle of no where!
Thanks fedno. Glad you liked it.
Man! The chumming mix, the technique on how to chum, the ceviche preparation, you munching out on some awesome ceviche, all this as you're sittink on your Kayak... I love you man!!!
Youre living the life man
Appreciate it Alejandro. I never take it for granted.

Hi
Like your stirrer and scoop. Inventive.
I love this video!!!
Put me to cry when you drop off TEN yellow tails.....at least you eat one...
Very interesting and stylish Ceviche/carpaccio/esqueixada/poke thing!!!
Grat, great video!!!
Thanks. I would get too fat to fit on the kayak if I ate all the fish I caught.
I've been eating ceviche ever since the mangrove video. I make it at home though rather than in the boat so I don't mind chopping up all the vegetables. I always add a little chunky salsa to the ceviche anyway. Been adding some mango to the mix the last couple of times. I ordered some small circle jig hooks to mold up some heads to fish your style of freelining.! Going to paint them glow and chartreuse and probably try some plain. Love your videos!
Sounds like you have been paying attention. I was just about to grab the jar of salsa with the mangos. That sounded like a really good combination. I'll have to give that a try with some fresh ones. Lots of the guys swear by the circle hook style yellowtail hooks as you can let them run for a while and get a definite hook set. Also, need them for fishing the Gulf. Good idea making your own. Surprisingly hard to find around here.
I'm not a fisherman but that ceviche is making my mouth water. Looks so good!
Definitely good. Light, tangy and refreshing. On hot summer days or hot winter days down here it really hits the spot. Very popular at restaurants in South Florida. A lot of Caribbean and Latin influence down here.
Steve, one of the best show ever, a combination of all the goodies. Bravo, Bravissimo!!!!
Thanks man. Always love the support.
Nice video. I love ceviche. I go fishing in Belize twice a year and that's the only place I've ever had it.
Yea, it's great stuff, especially when you have access to some nice white flesh saltwater fish. I would think flounder would make a good ceviche up your way.
Key West Kayak Fishing I'm flounder fishing Wednesday this week so I may give it a try if I catch some.
AnglerUp with Brant AYYYYYYE, it's AnglerUp with Brant!!
I live in Florida and I'm going to send my husband to go fishing with you lol he would have a blast
Received on March 1. Snowing very hard with wind. It is really a nice looing kayak. Wish this weather would come around to warmness so we can try it out.
Killer video dude. Good stuff with the knowledge dropping. Reminds me of fishing with my Dad as a youngster. Your Mcgyver setup is a masterpiece. Takes courage, brains and kindness to do what you're doing. Awesome job!
That looked awesome. To sit and eat the freshest fish possible and see that view is just something else. Only thing you were missing was a cold beer. All jokes aside this is why I enjoy watching catch and cook videos, I could see myself trying to do this one day as it doesn't require a whole lot. Only problem is I'm a shit fisherman and couldn't even catch a cold naked in the winter.
Love these type of videos
Yea, they are very popular these days. They are fun to make so keeping them in my rotation.
Key West Kayak Fishing Keep up the great work! Love all of your videos!
I feel like I've gotten my bachelor's degree in fishing just from watching your videos. Very detailed info helps you be a better fisherman
That's what I like to hear. Appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.
Your making me hungry!😂
That is how I know I did a good job. Thanks for watching.
Funny, I was getting ready to say avocado. Then he says it. But salsa with avocado is the best. Good job!!
I'm new subscriber and catching up to watching many of your past videos. You are a true fisherman! I also have kayak Old Town Predator PDL and served 8yrs military. I really like/appreciate your talent, instruction, cooking, and survival techniques. WOW the ceviche idea is one of those obvious options we have on the water, but i've been missing out (I have sliced & eaten Tunas out there but, never thought to bring lemons for a quick ceviche). Keep up the good work - you are doing awesome!
dropping loads out there steve! loads of chum
HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH KAYAK FISHING LOL....
I was trying to pass it off that I was chumming. LOL.
Got me in the mood for some yellow tail seviche. Going out fishing tomorrow
Good yellowtailing my friend and nice crevice
In Tahiti they add a little coconut milk cucumber and tomatoes and its fire!
Going to try this both ways, great fishing trip God bless
I use to live in Kew west I went Poinciana when I was young, this is what makes me want to come back!
Your a Pelican. A few changes here and there. Getting a bit more modern. Still lots of wierdos. Fishings pretty good. Still doesnt get cold.
Key West Kayak Fishing I still get down maybe once a year. I moved down right after high school for a bit with a friend I worked for Rick Haskins cleaning pools. he owns key west vacation rentals now. last time I went down there with my wife we brought our kayak to fish off, but felt kinda nervous w h end the current started pulling us out pretty hard so we stayed kinda to the side but close to shore. do you use a motor on your kayak? I would have felt better I I had a way to get in besides just paddle with the current pulling.
Key West Kayak Fishing my older brothers a conch...he was born there and went to key west high. we both live in nc now in the appalachian mountains lol
Small lemon shark are so tasty. 2-3 footers filled and fried. I couldn't believe how good they were.
Good to know. I am going to be doing a Shark video, just narrowing down the type and size.
I wanted to go fishing today and after watching your vids I felt like I did. thanks brother
Love so much your catch and cook videos!
Thanks Sergio. They are very popular. Plus, I like doing them.
aww dude that looks so good damit I wish I could go out and get some mangroves for civiche but its stupid winter!
Damn winter!!!! It was 78 degrees today.
Great tips on ceviche...I'll have to try this with Striper here in VA BCH.
i love your videos because it all looks like stuff you could do on a budget rather than alll these other fishing vids with these big ol boats and expencive gear, its nice because in about a year or so ill be moving to florida and i do plan on doing alot of fishing, alot more than my 3 days a week i do now haha.
Thanks. Yea, I am not a big gear head guy. I try and keep telling people that "the fish don't care". Majority of the stuff is for catching fisherman not fish. To each their own. I just like doing what catches fish.
I'm in college right now and watching these vids make me miss fishing in the keys so much :(
Keep up the work!
No problem. Something to do while resting between classes. LOL.
Your mangrove recipe had me CRAVING ceviche. This Doritos thing is like basic survival.
Great video as always Steve... A "One man, bachelor ceviche on the fly", or on the kayak I guess... Lol. Man I love fishing this time of the year!!! Everything comes in shallow. As soon as it gets a little colder, those patch reefs are going to be on fire, if they aren't all ready!!! It's just way tougher to get out there because of the cold fronts. I have a couple of spots out of N. Largo Sound in 9' of water that you can catch 20" yellowtail, 2-4 lbs mangrove snapper, even hog fish. Less than a mile from shore. Anyway, thank you Steve, now I just need to get out there!!!
This week, we finally had some nice weather so it was easy to get out. Next week, definitely need to stay in close. I have heard the patch reefs are good, but I'm like you waiting for some real cool weather to push things in. Tons of bait on the flats right now though.
Awesome video.that is a like an ice cream for fish
Ceviche is the bomb very very good love it gets no fresher than that
I don't like going out into the middle of a lake on a kayak and this guy is out in the middle of nowhere cooking himself lunch with fresh fish. That's insane.
I nice catching, cooking and eat.... like videos 👍👍👍
Thanks. They are very popular.
great one I love them yellowtail
Thanks Jose. I don't fish for them enough. One of the best eaters in the Keys.
great video dude, keep blasting us with some cool vidz .
nice video.. how i love to try kayak fishing here..
It's a great place. Nice clear warm water. Plus beautiful scenery.
I would love to smoke a blunt out there and talk to the fishys
I'm an acid and heroin guy.
Key West Kayak Fishing that explains why your in the ocean in that small boat lol jk...takes balls to do what you do
Key West Kayak Fishing can you get me a shoutout usifc13 plz
Key West Kayak Fishing Well then we should be friends.
11:58 bag of weed
back from Miami, got a lot of videos to catch up on...Steve a thon....Sweet!!!
LOL. Good use of the long vids.
Awesome video Steve!!! Take care and tight lines!!! Monday Leanne and I are going out trying for some Western Australian Pink Snapper, Breaksea Cod and hopefully a shark!! I've been making my chum up for the last 2 months it should attract something pretty nice!!
1. Ever had a shark bite your chum bag? 2. What was the sand for?
Great video! Good tips!
Just soak it in lemon juice for about half hr then eat it? It looks amazing!!!
Those are some nice sized yellow tails!
Nice eaters. I like the tails cause their filets are thicker than the mangroves.
Key West Kayak Fishing
If I didn't have this damn mangrove snapper addiction I'd be chasing Tails too. I need rehab! lol.
Dude. Just started watchin your vids. Love it. You are like a soldier goimg into battle with your set up. Freaking awesome. Im down on the keys now . your sjark vids are insame
Instead of ride along can we do a fish along with you lol ??? Would be great to spend a day learning and catching fish! Many people have 20+ foot boats and dont even catch fish....here you are with a kayak killing it !!! Props my friend love the videos keep them coming !!!
that ceviche lookin YUM!! 👍👍👍 my dad yousto do it with whiting.
Yea, Whiting would be great this way.
Nice tails Steve! Doesn't get any fresher than that! I almost cried when the first one got off. lol
It won the lottery.
Wow loving it!
Awesome video bro... Thanks for all the information.
Your welcome Andrew.
Sounds delish!
that was a fun watch.
Thanks Jurassicsushi. It was fun to make.
Very Fun and relaxing video Steve! Can you perhaps make a rod+reel collection vid?
I guess I should. In my earlier videos I used to show what rod and reels I was using for each video. I keep things pretty basic so not too exciting. I do list everything in my descriptions though.
Ok thanks!
Steve you need a lil bit sharper knife lol. Great recipe ,love it
Awesome vid!! Thanks for the tips.
No problem Al. Glad it helped.
True fisherman ,Chum and ceviche
Hard working funny man. Keep it up.
Now that's fresh!
The best restaurants can't beat that for freshness. LOL.
2 white onions, fresh cilantro, 1 jalapeno, three tomatoes, all chopped up, fresh limes and we call that pico de gallo...
don;t forget the tostidos... tight lines
Yup, that was my other ceviche recipe. This one is for the lazy bachelors like me.
Thought for sure you were going to mix a little of that chum in with your Ceviche.
Great video.
Thanks for checking it out Timmy.
Looked good man. I thought that chum stew was going to be the side dish.
That's the same fish Steve , you just caught him 10 times, lol enjoy your videos .
New sub ! Liking it so far , wish u was more prepared before look kinda cramp up with so much things around but keep the vidz coming ! And I live in the Caribbean there's lots of yellow tale out here.
On a kayak, 6 miles from shore, cooking. You can give me a little slack on not being prepared and cramped. LOL. Just a little?
you are living the life! im jealous.
Thanks. I don't take it for granted.
Hey buddy.. I love your fishing videos.I've learned quite a bit. I was wondering, how to you get that fishy smell off your pants bobbers, after a rough ride in a questionable vessel?
Soak them in a five gallon bucket with Lemon Joy dish soap.
I went to my doctor and he gave me a penecillin shot
Yummm yellow tail my favorite
It was refreshing. I liked it better than the more authentic style I did with the Mangrove Snapper.
Dude! You're channel is the shit! lol..... I mean that in the up most respect. I really want to move to Florida just because of your channel and some other Floridian Anglers who's channel is equally as good. Especially on a day like today, when it's just about 2 degrees with a wind chill of -10 degrees. That's what New England(Boston) brings ya! Brrrrrr lol
LOL. This is when my channel will shine when the North is shivering and were in shorts and t's. LOL. It definitely is not reciprocal as I have no interest in hanging out in the frost box. The snowbirds will start pouring in after the holidays. A lot of people have that same plan.
i need to start using chum , maybe that's the key to break my kayak curse hehe
If you chum, they will come. Makes things a lot easier.
Great video brother! I grew up in the keys and I'm a fellow angler. Not many people know about the chum ball / chum slop mix lol. Keep the videos coming buddy. I just subscribed. Tight lines!
Welcome to the channel. Yea, I don't think a lot of places do the chum thing. I think it is why so many people have a hard time catching stuff down here. It is suck an odd tool but very necessary. Thanks for watching.
Hello Steve, great 👍 vid bro, now you talking bro like their in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 pura vida( pure life) keep those vid coming, happy holidays bro🎉👍
Happy Holiday and Happy New Year Diego.
Thanks Steve
i bet that smells soooo good !!!
Smells like the ocean. Fresh.
Awesome video man!
Thanks for checking it out Michael.
Nice video bro! Have to do that one day!
Great stuff on a hot summer day. Very refreshing.
Nice fish you got 🤑
Love the videos...no frills fishing like 99% of us are out there doing! I'm sure you have answered it before, but what is the plan if that motor won't start when you're out there a few miles?
This man is going to attract sharks smh. Amazing videos as well keep it up
They have to eat too. Just like a puppy begging for scraps.
Nice video.
Thanks for checking it out Muddyriverdogz.
hi just found your channel very cool rig you got there
Thanks. Welcome to the channel.
thanks man for making another one, love it
No problem Brooks. They are very popular and I like doing them.
Bro nice chip crunching sounds
Living the life!
I thought I had read that it was illegal in Florida to fillet or consume fish you had just caught while still on your boat? I personally could care less and more power to you for getting to eat it that fresh though.
*+jps121*
Assuming the same laws are still in place from a few years ago...
So long as you immediately consume it, the law has no issue with it.
However, you cannot fillet/debone/gut/do pretty much anything if you're just going to bring it back to shore. Unless you are going to immediately consume the fish on the vessel, you cannot mess with it till you land. Hopefully that makes sense.
What Bradley said. It would be like sailing and cruising vessels would not be able to eat fish. I think common sense would come into play as well. Bringing back bag fulls of random filets would be a little harder to explain.
You should try attaching the GoPro to the line with a flash light to let us see what it is like
I was thinking of buying one of those underwater cameras that are made to attach to your line when you troll. $150 though.
Awesome videos :). Figured I'd put this one at 1k lol was sitting at 999 haha.
Your the best sea fisherman
Thanks Liam. I try my best.
Bro I'm loving the vids
Good deal. Glad you like them.
I would like you to give us an idea about how big the fish are, in this video you are catching yellow tail snappers. I can not tell if they are 10 inch or 14 inch or 18 inch. I know to you it's obvious but the GoPro makes it hard to tell. Maybe drop the regulations from time to time, i.e. These have to be 14 inches and you are allowed 6 or 10 or whatever. Love the channel, keep up the good work. Alan B. in jacksonville fl. Aka aliboojax.
I'm a fisherman, so it would all just be a lie. Everything would be six feet 150 lbs. LOL.
thank you very much !! i learned so much from your video!!!
Yeah, I was waiting for the second part... 😒 too. LOL.
Left ya hanging. LOL.
hey i like your videos. im in florida too i fish off new symrna beach. id like to see a video of your yak motorized set up . seeing that your is mor legit from the other videos ive seen
