Big Boys in Big Waves (Haulover Inlet Rages)

Small Craft Warning and extreme winds visited Haulover Inlet today . We were filming just as the crack of dawn approached and we could see some of the nastiest weather from Haulover we haven't seen in a while. Big waves crashed over the jetty flooding everything it hit. Wavy conditions like this can be a huge threat for boaters so be very careful on days like this. We did catch a few brave souls coming out and this is what happened.

Thank you for introducing Fisherman Joe. Just subscribed today to his channel. Watching him really had me missing home there in So. Fla. Wish I was there with y’all!!

I'll watch your videos every time. Too much fluff on Boat Zone. Keep up the good work. I turn to your videos when I'm getting cold here in Pa. Miami seems to add a bit of warmth.

We don't have waves like that in PA! Lol

50 years ago I worked on a 40 foot commercial fishing boat. We would fish for salmon during the spring. It was all day tripping and some days the water would be like glass. In the summer months we would go out two weeks at a time in warmer water to fish fo albacore. In the winter we would fish for Dungeness crabs. The weather was like this half of the time. If you're a dedicated fisherman this is nothing. Fishing for crab was great. The skipper was a football fan. On sundays we would run a short string of pots to get home in time to watch football. I would bring home a burlap bag half full of crabs and my mother would cook them all day. Fresh crab all day, YUM ! I was17 years old then and we fished out of Eureka California harbor. What a wonderful place to grow up. Thanks for letting me share these memories. Jerry

I've been watching you for awhile but this is seriously good stuff. The video quality of the ocean is amazing. You couldn't pay me to be on one of those boats. A party boat's got no business being out there. I went on a party boat, out of Marina Jack, with the Flying Fish Fleet and it looked like a good day, till we got out of the harbor. We couldn't stand up well enough to fish. People were throwing up in the bait buckets, into beer cartons, etc. I was soaked, completely soaked. The money in my wallet was soaked. My camera was ruined. And the crew asked for a tip.

[@robertp7209]

Did they catch fish?

[@dalelangila9274]

If you can not even fish no tip

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

@@robertp7209 no, no fish.

[@johnmajane3731]

From what I saw the Captains and their boats handled it very well. A bit of a rough ride for a few minutes to get in some good fishing is worth it.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

It's not that bad. Depending on your experience and boat length. If you can't handle this, stay off the OCEAN altogether.

[@bettymaverick1098]

Ben out on boats on days like this. On the big charter the most common says is "Do not throw up in the Head, over the rail.

[@johnbaker4847]

In Greece, they have 30' walls for jetties, I got soaked TWICE in one day by waves coming over the walls. This was in Crete, on the Medderatainian Sea. 😱😂 Fun day though, BIG WAVES!

[@dsreid]

That current from the incoming tide is insane!

[@SWATT101]

I once got caught out on lake Ontario in 10 foot swells...took me 4 hours to get into Bronte harbour... worst day of my boating life in 26 foot boat...don't trust marine weather lol

At that size the waves could make the channel very hard to navigate. Glad you can still talk about the experience.

Gorgeous rainbow!!!! Thank you!! Maybe bad omen though…… Wait for It!!!

[@UmmCarl]

Gosh I would think the KING of Haulover would carry extra batteries....

[@UnApologeticPatriot]

I used to work on a charter boat as a deckhand and then eventually as a Captain. We would normally warn our customers that it's 'nautical' weather out there. Then we'd take them 1 mile offshore and let them know that this is the point of no return. If they said go for it and 15 minutes later, changed their minds, they lost their money. We gave enough chances.

ALFRED. Hello. Once even my wife decided to see what it was like, it was NOT BAD going, or returning, this was a party boat. MISS BELNAR I think it was now this is an ALUMINIUM BOAT 120 FEET X over 20 feet beam, it was SO WROUGHT,FISHING, THAT 30 MINS too many were hitting the rails ,lots puking,SO THEY CALLED IT A DAY & gave us return trips , My wife could NOT GET OVER HOW ROUGH IT WAS,,SOMEONE NEEDED STICHES TO HIS HEAD, . this was in the early 70s ONCE 2 of us went on an overnighted to the HUDSON CANYION, for tile fish, 600 feet down, since we booked late we had hand reels. NOT electric reels, we both got 1 fish each, you DONT EVEN KNOW YOU HAVE A FISH,, that was an adventure,out of BRIELLE NJ, on the JAMAICA 2 that buddy is now gone , that was in late 70 s, stay well 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@pauljoseph8338]

Glad you and Boat Zone support each other. How do y’all feel about the Wavy Boat??? Is it a constant king of the hill fight for jetty superiority???

[@AlfredMontaner]

I only associate myself with good people .The other creators wanted a takeover of the Inlet which I succefully did in 2020. Alex and Mari from Boat Zone are the real deal.

[@leonagann5161]

[@lengadaleta5051]

It was an incoming tide early in the morning yesterday, so the East wind and the tide were moving in the same direction….not too bad. But early in the afternoon the tide was going out, AGAINST the East wind. Wind against the tide…THAT is when Haulover really gets hairy!

[@fredliperson9171]

I have always found that the trees on land are a good indicator of how he seas are gonna be...

[@andrewgrossi4742]

Despite the terrified commentary, the old Hatteras "Sea Cross II" did pretty well - even when rolling in beam seas - because Jack Hargrave designed boats to take the slop, and it was built in a time when 'heavy' was not thought of as 'bad'. Yes - 'heavy' won't get you 40+ knots at cruise, but it will get you a reasonable roll period and keep everyone from getting the teeth knocked outta their skulls.

[@ken244]

Probably not the captain's decision but the person that chartered the boat vomiting

Here in san francisco it gets really rough and these guy ive seen go out in 16 footers its crazy,only the people that been through weather like this understand how your videos look..Its doesn't look that bad but when your out their its insane so i kno its bad.San francisco bay gets insane by alcatraz the currents go around the island and its so strong you throw a 2 pound ball down 5 feet and it gets swept away right when it hits the water,its insane.

[@larss592]

Surprised to see those outriggers out on Spellbound. Glad he put them up. Btw what is the rule on outriggers going thru haulover? It used to be they had to be put up or risk fines. But that was years ago.

Those Captains weren't appreciating being on that water-and their costumers won't be very soon. Can't talk someone that had plans for 6-10 months on what day they were going fishing, into understanding how bad it's going to be. Either have to refuse to start the boat or take them and prove to them, only two choices.

Worked in the Gulf we had a 22hr boat ride if the helicopters couldn't fly we rode 10to 12 if the weather changed on our way ... 140miles offshore know the pain ...

[@helicart]

I worked for a port authority decades ago in Australia. Honestly, I don't think these conditions are that challenging for a boat over 35 foot. The bigger question is what's happening with barometric pressure. If there's been a low around for more than 12 hours, then the bite will be off. However as the pressure is falling with incoming bad weather, the bite can be really hot. Anyone whose been fishing smartly for a few years should know why.
