Awesome Video. Only did one night dive. Standing on the bottom 30’ made a slow circle and saw a lot of barracuda watching me. Waiting for me to spear a fish for their dinner. No more night dives for me. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. You Rock.
Watching the water when night fishing is so fun! I fished a lot bridges between Naples and Tampa (the keys as well) and could stare down in the lights into the water all night long!!
Once again, thank you for another rad little shallow water adventure. It was cool to see the night life.
Unique video, night dives are wild. Great job. I love Madeline lol ast line, " go on and git". Classic!!
haha thanks for watching!
For cast iron skillet try flipping upside down in oven and bake on 500* for a hr so. Sometimes it’s sticky bc excess oil built up. Older cast iron skillets are 100% better then new cast. Congrats by the way to you and Madeline. 🤙🏼
used to night scuba a lot when I was younger up here in RI, surreal for sure, so much life ....a little weird only knowing what is in your light but definitely stimulates all the senses.....loved this
I so hope you do more night dives like this Aaron amazing
def will!
I apologize....I have never Congratulated both of you on your Marriage...SO CONGRATULATIONS! Wish you both a Lifetime of Peace and Harmony together.
Absolutely!!
Man, I wish I could dive like this. The water around crystal rivers shoreline is just too dirty. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you, dib
You can use some sandpaper/paddle wheel to finish out the surface on the cast iron to smooth it out faster for use. You will need to reseason the surface afterward. Generally what I do to enjoy a new pan faster. Remember that cast iron is not normally finished to smooth in production. Grandma's smooth pan is due to her scrapping it over and over during use.
Aloha, and I agree with you. 90% of my diving has been at night (Lanai). Different critters, different behavior of the daytime critters. You see things that you will never see during the day.
Loved it. Mad is a gem make sure you take care of her
In the 70s, I put a flashlight in a Ziploc bag and swim in freshwater in south Florida. You could swim right up to largemouth bass and put your hands on them. Also, in the 70s we would go to steamboat Creek and get all kinds of snappers creepers and lobsters underneath the mangrove roots. Have you ever dived steamboat Creek.?
Orcatorch D530v would be a good light for these night videos. Same form factor as your normal light with a much wider beam and no hot spot.
Nice change , love the night diving should do more.
if your hard pressed with the light issue, in my line of work we need to record underwater and use 1200 lumen torches on average, the focused beam will defeat most cameras but you can just slip a latex glove (like the 1st aid gloves) over the lens and hold it down with tape or a cable tie or rubber band - the light will be spread out and will be a lot more camera friendly! obviously you could get either lights or lenses for lights that do the same thing, but we usually have a 1st aid kit somewhere that needs the gloves replaced anyway.
Great video as per and awesome to see the eco system at night! As for the temp dude it’s peaking 48• here in wales at the moment in the day 🥶 thanks for the video just makes me wanna go fishing
Love Mangroves. My Grandparents, once we all moved down from Maryland, lived in Punta Gorda, FL forever. They lived on a canal that would bring us out to the harbor, but we always fished the mangroves around their dock and before we reached the harbor. Best times ever. My grandfather and I (well mainly him lol) would filet the fish on the dock when we got back and then hand them over to my grandma. Quick ice bath while she cut up potatoes to make fries. Just a little salt and light breading was all they needed, homemade fries and fresh cut tomatoes with salt. Some of the best times of my life. Love these videos Aaron, appreciate you.
I happen to live in punta gorda off a canal from Charlotte harbor. Me and some buddies will take our boats out to boca grand and fish.
my dad loved fishing & my mom would cook the fish he caught. Fresh fish is the best! Y’all have a great life & congrats on the nuptials
Living the life! So very jealous. Such a gem of spot it looks like y'all have. Have u put out any vids of you just giving a tour of your grounds and how you ended up in such a unique spot? Enjoyed. Take care
I just want to say congratulations! Congratulations on building an amazing life for yourself! You've got an amazing wife, a great roommate, and an amazing career! Love, love, love, your videos! Keep up the great work! P. S. I think Madeline should sign off with, "C-YA!" ❤
thanks so much!
Thats the best way to cook any fish for the flavour of the fish.! The cast iron pan needs seasoning (very easy) before you use it , you can still do that with yours, lots of TH-cam vids on how to !!!! Another great video .
Maybe some lights on your boat (rack) shining down on the water? Loved it!! Season the cast iton with flaxseed oil & bake at 500• for 1 hr (might smoke a lil). Do it as often as you think about it. I kept my castiron in the oven during the 1st yr even wen i baked cookies etc. It will end up being shiny & nothing will really stick & you can even use a scruby & the finish doesnt come off.
I love all your videos. Thank you. I will always watch every one.
I found night spearing very tough, it's like the brain does not want to compute aiming a flashlight and a spear gun at the same time. Also plays with your imagination when you have fish on your belt and something big swims by just out of the light range.
I've never spear fished. But I've caught hundreds of sea trout night fishing.
I thought night fishing was going to suck.
I quickly began to realize that I catch the same amount as day fishing. You're just trading off your sunglasses for a head lamp, solitude and bug spray.
Turns out.... I like night fishing better than day.
I think you're right. Night spear fishing is a tedious challenge for no real gain.
Also.....
What about an underwater head lamp. Then you'd only be aiming the spear?
This was a really cool video. I miss night diving the reefs. Can you do another with the big camera, a steady light source, and just slowly swim through? Spearing is really fun to watch but I feel like the light was tricky with the speargun in the other hand.
yea it def was, I'll be back for sure. gonna do a little trial and error with better light sources
😂😂😂 a frigid 77 made me laugh. It’s a nippy 35 here tonight. Love your videos bro.
Great episodes as usual KWW. Tipsy is lovely 🥰
I do fish on salads too. Olive oil and vinegar. Salt pepper. Seared fish on top. Delicious.
It's good to watch night catching...
If you received a cast iron skillet already seasoned,,, sand blast,,, then reseason skillet...
TNX 4 VID LOL
A frigid 77…😂 come to Idaho, I’ll auger you a hole in the top of the lake and you can pull fish through the hole. Congrats and love your videos.
Same in Utah!
love night spearing. So much better than during the day
Great video,you should have done this one on Halloween,definitely super spooky down there
You need to season the cast iron skillet. Then it won’t stick. You can wipe it clean with a paper towel after you use it. I always wipe it out and then add a small amount of high heat oil, veg oil works fine and rub it around and it’s ready to be put away for another cook. Watch’s you tube video on seasoning a griddle or a skillet.
Wait…what? You missed one? Let me get out my calendar to mark down this date! Love the video!! Keep em coming!!!
haha!
What an adventure!
The ending was delightful!
Been watching a long time, cheers too you and the Mrs
Holy cow that's some of the spookiest diving I've seen in a while..lol
right!
@KeyWestWaterman up here in nw florida by destin all we have is sand and a little bit of grass.. those roots where insane!!
With respect, congratulations.
Definitely need more night diving videos
Very cool episode! Thanks so much!
Highly recommend ditching the gun in favor of a three prong for night dives. Reload is faster while holding a light and the fish are asleep anyways so getting close is no trouble.
With all that bait swimming around you could hang the light and wait for the fish to come to you lol .now you have a new lobster spot. Try putting a red lens in your light , it works for reflection.
Those small swimming parts of the crayfish u caught are called swimerettes. They use them to hold onto the eggs once they push them out and down until they hatch and she pushes them away.
Big respect for staying on the uploads, man.
I cannot imagine the bills in Miami, let alone the keys 😅
ps, turkey point is leaking, its my life goal to let everyone know. (abouts page 🤐 )
turkey point channel.. no mangroves.. salt plumes leaking.. I hope and bet most research this. Its YOUR water. Its IN your water. later brother. 🤙
Really,I hope you research my replies and dont approve them, its that bad..
it aint cheap! thanks for tuning in!
First Octopus I saw was at night amazing!
What a great video. Thanks!
Night mang dives... new stuff for all of us. Yup Yup.
Guy obviously you have the greatest experiences in free diving and spear fishing. But I gota say the night time types would definitely creep Me out! The fear of some lemon shark creeping up on me at biting me I would have a heart attack!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Great video! Any chance you're gonna make more of the "shorty" guns? Spearfishing in pensacola usually means cloudy low visibility.....😮
Yea i think there’s a couple left on the website. We are getting low getting close to Christmas!
braining the fish at night looked pretty spooky
Cast iron definitely needs a lot of seasoning to get it non stick I use flax oil thin coat then put in an oven and let it bake around 400 upside down for a hr then let it cool in oven. I would repeat several times. I also stay away from soap.They have something like a chain mesh type thing specifically for cast iron I have also used kosher salt as an abrasive cleaner with out water just the salt to clean.
yea my other cast iron is about 5 years old and is seasoned like nothing I've ever seen. Having trouble getting this one to the same state but I'm sure it'll get better with time.
@@KeyWestWaterman yeah it definitely takes lots of time I love cast iron though for it’s way it keep heat.
I like those UK lights that clip to your mask, plus your main light. for bugs I use the UK led to see under ledges during daytime. at night, I just want to see where I'm looking, -should have picked up bugs.
Badass man, we do lots of flounder gigging at night here in the Lowcountry of SC. You should get ya some NVG goggle for the travel, helps to see everything. Might could figure out how to film with it, FLIR would help too.
Love you all ❤️
It's 38 degree in New Brighton, Pennsylvania and I'll take 77 degree anytime of the year, jealous!!
loved this episode!
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this 🤙🏽
Your places is awesome bro, greating from Indonesia 👍
‘Frigid 77’ (Will laughs) hahahaha
Bacon in the new cast iron works great!
Gotta season the pan really well
I know why you missed that fish point blank. Gold is one of the heaviest metals on earth. You need to account for that heavy gold ring on your left finger when aiming. It will pull your shots off something fierce.
🤣 I’m gonna stick with that!
Love your channel man... Are you concerned at all about the salt water crocs?
We almost never get them this far south.
what I typically do when I'm having a hard time judging size and I can get this` close to the fish - use the flopper as a gauge, you familiarize yourself with how many floppers make a legal fish and then when you extend your gun take a second to do a flopper to fish guess-timation.
One salad every three months is how I like to roll lol I do like my vegetables
Super super cool
Bro tried to drop one of the hardest videos and think we wouldn’t notice 😂😏
Night time use three prong spear. Easier and quicker load. Looks fun.
I love the videos! I was wondering how you record with a snorkel in your mouth.
I do voice overs after the fact
Knight dive: short 80cm gun closed muzzle and 1 wrap of fishing line, no reel, ==> best set up for small fish
I would love to do this at night great job
so fun!
maybe you can't go wrong with filleting small snapper...I'm the king of butchering snapper. Catfish, trout, and many others I don't have a problem. I destroy small snapper. Ha great video, night time in the water is a special experience every time.
lol!
Nice filleting mate 👍🦘
I grew up in Michigan, so I know what cold feels like lol. But when you spend the Florida summer outside in the 90 plus degree heat, 70 feels cold.
Grew up in FL, 25 years, his area, and now in MIchigan. I have lived in many states.. wyoming is the worst for winter, but michigan is a close 2nd. Wyoming is way worse though, with the wind and no people.
andddd.. I am moving back to FL this year ☝ You guys can have snow, no thanks.
@@dertythegrower we're full sorry lol
haha right!
Hey man, really enjoy your vids. I’m a diver myself. Do you mind telling me what torch you are using?
Neptonics.com light
It’s ok, I had a heart attack for you when you jumped in. 😮
How long do that light show for while u In the water spearfishing
Normally around 2 hours
nice@@KeyWestWaterman
Haii..have u ever fried the fish with tumeric powder before..? If in malaysia..we love fried our fish with tumeric powder to taste the fish meat..really nice..u should try sometimes..😊😊
Hola amigo muy bueno ese vídeo aquí si puedes graba más contenido de esos canales de mangle es la pesca que me gusta hay aprendí ya tienes otro seguidor + saludos desde cuba
So up here in central we see gators in the flats at times. Not much but they do take a salt swim from time to time, What are the concerns if any and do you take any precautions for such events in key west?
We got salt water crocs down here
We almost never get them this far south, in the northern Keys, they see more of them
Cool😊
thanks for watching!
I wonder what thinks would look like with a U.V. light.
love the vids
later
probably pretty neat
Cast iron skillets & collard greens. You people can’t be beat!
nice video thanks!
It’s like you’re looking for Ben Gardner’s boat.
Try using a Hawaiian sling (3prong spear) for night fishing.
👍👍
thanks as always!
How come some fish are measured to the tip of the tail, and others are measured to the fork in the tail ? BTW, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MARRIAGE !!!
Hell if i know! We pay people a lot of money to make those decisions! 🤣
@@KeyWestWaterman L O L 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe tails grow at faster/slower rate on some fish vs. others?
What kind of minnows or baby fish where those swimming all around 🤔 you?
I’d be worried about saltwater crocodile more than sharks but maybe they’re not around there I don’t know
