@@TheLawlessTide I hear ya bro. We used to get on the party boats from Clearwater and especially Tarpon Springs (Miss Milwaukee). Grew up on Lake Tarpon in Palm Harbor and graduated Tarpon High ('73) with kids whose dads were actual sponge divers back in the 60s and 70s. Man, I could tell you some stories!! We'd go out, catch a stringer of those big black grunts (as we called them)off the reefs, take them back in, throw the guy at the dock 10 bucks and he fillet the whole bunch for us. We'd take them back home, throw'm in flour and a hot grease bath...hush puppies, cold slaw, my rock'n roll baked beans...OMG!! We all did the feast!! So much fun. So many good memories from Sarasota to Brooksville. Fishin the flats for trout, cobia... I'm on a rant!! LOL Don't get me started on fresh water!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Love your vids, man!!
Anytime I've ever gone offshore fishing we were going to specific Oil Rigs or known wrecks..... I see you guys out here but are they deciding based upon a reef or other anomaly on bottom? Heck, they might just have a general area & use the electronics to hone in on where to fish once they get close to an area? Who's rod is the spinning rod you are using..yours? When the drag was pulling @ 12mins it seemed like it wasn't smooth? Might be me hearing wrong but I thought something might give when he said there was 65lb test on it..... your reels are smoother that that one. Yup, love to see them coming into the boat.
IT's only @ the 25min mark when ya put your foot down in the driveway that I get just how many & how Big they were! The camera lens might be part of why I can't tell but also the rod w/ the bait cast reel looks super thin as you hoisted it up. I thought it would break a few times but I bet the lens caused that misconception of size as w/ the fish. Nice !!
Thanks, yes, I heard you mention the "ledge" and I figured it was a deep drop-off. Florida waters are so different than any other in the continental US that I always wonder. My salt fishing is the Chesapeake Bay & most is in the Gulf of Mexico between Calcasieu Ship Channel(Louisiana) Cameron Parish over to Sabine Pass, Texas. Fishing in this area is nothing like Florida waterways. I spent 11 months in Key West & when I got hooked up w/ a boat & brought a fishing rod, they laughed at me. All these guys had scars in their hands from hand fishing whereas the line sliced into the palm of their hands. I still used my gear but they were another breed of fishermen. Thanks for bringing this forward, I love seeing it. peace man
I use that same rig for bliners until I found mustad 1/0 circle hook sabiki rig. When you get 1 bliner on rig let it sit 20 30 seconds and reel slow that rig will fill up
How do those Mingos eat Mr Lawless? Is that fish a better candidate for a fire, a sauté pan or a fryer? Thanks again for the epic videos. They sustain me until I can actually get there.
Great job guys. That was an awesome trip . Thanks for taking us along . Made me hungry.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great trip!!! Those were some big mingos!!! Tight Lines!!
Thanks, yeah ive never seen that many big ones stacked up like that before.
Man, that looks like fun!! I sure miss Florida salt fishing!!
Its the best!

Mingo aka Vermillion Snapper ... Nice catches
Thanks, and beeliners😀
Mercy that looks like a heck of a day
Yea it was!
Given todays cost for food, great haul boys. That will feed a lot of friends and family.
What was the set up you had rigged for those minhos and trigger???
It was just a multi hook rig that he had on the boat. I usually make my own rogs but didnt bring my stuff that day.
@@TheLawlessTide well awesome job!!
Tell me about a wonderful day on the water awesome job fellas!!

@@TheLawlessTide yessir!!

We were mainly fishing hard bottom spots before we went out to the ledge.

That rod is super thin and super flexible, its made for slow pitch jigging which requires that kind of rod.

@@diggy-d8w thanks for watching
Dude.....what a day. Incredible
Oh yeah!
Was wondering what type boat thanks
You would have to ask Brock Meyer about that.
I use that same rig for bliners until I found mustad 1/0 circle hook sabiki rig.
When you get 1 bliner on rig let it sit 20 30 seconds and reel slow that rig will fill up
Nice
Sean I’ve been looking into purchasing a GoPro? What do model do you recommend
I recommend the DJI Osmo Action 4 over gopro, hands down
Great content, I’ve really enjoyed the recent videos!
Thank you!
Nice haul mate.
Thank you!
What’s the mingo limit you were working with?
10 per
How do those Mingos eat Mr Lawless? Is that fish a better candidate for a fire, a sauté pan or a fryer? Thanks again for the epic videos. They sustain me until I can actually get there.
They are wonderful table fare.
Those snappers y'all were catching that you reached the limit on were Vermillion snappers
Yes also know as beeliners , and mingo snapper
Mingo's galore !!
Them BB'S get huge when you get in that 200ft range
Yes Sir!
Time for a Party...Heat up the Grill...!!!
Oh yeah, we had a feast!
I'll be in pc the last 2weeks in June deep-sea fishing everyday
Good luck!
Rod seems a bit light.
Thats how slow pitch jigging rods are designed. Super flexible but strong.
