The “Secret” FL Keys Bait Shops Don’t Want YOU To Know…

INSHORE JIGGING IN THE FLORIDA KEYS //
On this episode of Abenz Fishing we are back in the Florida Keys to do some bridge fishing and inshore jigging. I was fishing Islamorada, FL on this episode and many people consider it the fishing capitol of the world. Although it is more known for its flats fishing, there are tons of areas where you can fish bridges and jig fish. The primary species we wnated were mutton snapper, mangrove sapper and grouper.

Awesome content, congrats on the Muttons. I love fishing the keys so much, I have to set a plan for myself before I go. First time I went I was overwhelmed trying to fish everywhere for everything. Now I'm like ok, going fly fishing for tarpon and bone fish. Once I catch some of them then I move to the next plan. Sometimes you may spend 7 days on the first plan. Like when you go ok I'm going for a florida keys grand slam on fly. Yeah right lol, have tried that a few trips but have never landed the permit on fly. Keep the videos coming brother

Thanks dude, it is definitely a vast area and you have to have a plan or else you’re going to spend the whole day running around like a lunatic. I’ve done that

[@leocruz8107]

Love these videos

[@jackchn23]

Abenz Fishing, what is the name of the clear container with blue locks for the top, that you keep packages of Z-MAN baits in? Is the Z-MAN bait container waterproof?

[@AbenzFishing]

Dude I have no idea but it’s awesome. I don’t think it is waterproof though. Like $15 at BPS

Great video, let's fish Jupiter.

[@primetime1838]

@@stevemerritt8747 thanks dude! I try to reply to any positive comments 🙏🏻

Nice vid, looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@rileyshane78]

But this small mangrove’s are better eating than a 24 inch mutton any day

[@AbenzFishing]

I like mutton’s way more but that’s just me

[@edwardbranch3520]

That is a STUD mutton inshore! You gamble to move paid off! Luck favors the prepared! Well done sir! Stay safe out there brother!

[@AbenzFishing]

@@edwardbranch3520 thanks for tuning in!!

[@alessandrobolanos9940]

That first one was a cubera

[@AbenzFishing]

You think? I’ve caught my fair share of Cubera… it can be hard to tell when they’re small

[@alessandrobolanos9940]

@@AbenzFishing looks like one cause of the pattern, cubera stripes go all the way, the mangroves tend to only have them on the upper half

[@smokinbasstv7966]

Yeah cubera

[@noahyoungfishing4027]

It was a mangrove with just really dark colorations, can 100% say it was not a cubera.

[@bijiaz3168]

What type of artificial shrimp?

[@AbenzFishing]

This was the zman 4” - it’s been an extremely productive lure for me

[@river9055]

zman EZ shrimp.

[@sebastiantominelli6484]

Thumbnail is a “Henn lures” shrimp.
