CRAZY FUN!! Shore Fishing the SPORT FISHING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!! Islamorada Florida

One of my favorite places in the USA to vacation! The Florida keys is beautiful all year long. I haven't been here in 10 years. We celebrated my 30th birthday in the keys. My brother Max asked me what I wanted to do for my 40th birthday. The keys was the top of my list. So we planned a last minute, week long trip to Islamorada FL. This trip was AMAZING and exactly what I needed. We went fishing everyday and celebrated all week long. This video we didn't have a charter planned so we did some fishing from shore. I'm so glad we did! It was an absolute BLAST catching these fish from shore. The topwater bite was intense!!

Great video, Kurt! Nice catches for you and Max! Stay Safe and Healthy

The penn spinfisher iv is hands down best reel for the money. Ive had mine 5 years now and its amazing in every way. Love the video’s Kurt! Keep up the great work

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks! Yes, love the reel. Bought it for this trip

[@forkedhornYT]

Great fish Max! Glad you guys had some shore fun.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

It was a blast. We definitely have another shore video in the bank. It was a wild day

[@maximilianfranz2124]

Shore did 😃

[@yomangull2538]

Nothing like surface fishing and seeing that explosion. Ok, I lied. It could be the screaming drag that comes next! That looked like a lot of fun and congrats to you both for getting those lunkers. Happy belated birthday Kurt!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Agreed! Nothing better

[@thenogoodniks8673]

That's crazy cool fun. Shore fishing in the ocean is wild never know what's going to grab your gear

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Absolutely!

[@michaelcooper1465]

Great video! Those jack crevalle put up a good fight. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

That looks like a great time Curt you can get walleye on top water when the Fish Flys are hatching at night time. Happy Birthday young man. Carl

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks Carl

[@alechamid235]

The Keys is my favorite place in the U.S.A., been there a couple of times and it is gorgeous. Next time I want to fish the waters though.

[@maximilianfranz2124]

Thanks for letting me catch that fish on your birthday bro!!! 😀🎉

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Welcome, you needed it more than I did.

[@loripretti843]

Nice fishing guys!!! God bless you both!!!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks!

[@maximilianfranz2124]

Thanks and you too Lori!

[@StormyTunes]

Awesome footage, thanks! Pack a gaff next time.

[@robsimpson6537]

Great job 👏 guys! Happy birthday! Just curious about your location in islamorada and was that bayside? Heading down there next month. Timeshare at 75 mm and rental at 82mm never really tried the shore fishing just piers but it looks like you guys nailed it 🎣. I believe you when you spoke of those large shark big time. Last December 10foot hammerheads were destroying my rigs and it got expensive. Gonna pass on them this year. I subscribed to get some more tips for my trip. Tight lines 🎣🎣🍻

[@craigmize4395]

Dang that looks fun ! Me and my bro are hitting the lake again tomorrow , got 2 nice 3-4 lb. trout and a 20 inch largey last weekend , hope the spring bass is good this year ! It is Cali. so they might sell our water to SoCal , great vid !

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Haha! Catch um up while you can

[@Op4Grunt0311]

Awesome video bro I love the enthusiasm

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Appreciate it!

[@louielouie4187]

Happy Birthday

[@ethanmcdowell9677]

Crevalle Jack.... pound for pound one of the hardest fighting fish. We call them "marsh marlin" because of the fight.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

So true

[@christopherblevins1968]

I think was as excited/nervous as you guys were! Man, that looked like fun!! REDEMPTION!!!!!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Redemption is such an amazing feeling. Mostly because it rarely happens

[@JJX921]

Sure do miss Big Pine Key! My uncle had a house down there and we would go every summer for lobster and man Kurt I love the keys. Great fishing fir sure.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

I love it down there too. I'm not waiting another 10 years to go back

[@user-ks3ol3lw3b]

By the time that last fish was released, there's a big chance that it swam off to die. The whole time it was out of the water it was suffocating. A large percentage of fish that are released die within a few minutes. If you're gonna kill it you may as well keep it and eat it.

[@arnoldzyphill3167]

in 73 or 74 i was fishing at a restaurant called the sea castle in that area. i had just pulled up a cuda on a grunt someone had gone for a net and there was a jerk the cuda was bitten in half with a bout a foot left.the other half i dropped and was picked up and carried out but was released when i pulled. a really big one got away.

[@user-cv2bl4mp7i]

Heading down to Islamorada next month. Would love a spot to walk out and throw a couple lines in. Where exactly were you? Been looking on maps for somewhere to park and fish.

I'm making a trip down there for a week in September. Do you think I'd be able to bring my bass rods down. 50lb power pro braid on a curado dc 151 reel? Or should I invest in a saltwater dedicated rig ?

[@MentalHealthDay82]

You should be fine. Just don't dunk your reel in the saltwater

There are no places to fish from shore in Miami. NO FISHING signs posted everywhere. Except for the piers, I challenge you to find a good secluded spot.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Big cities suck! Go to the keys

Any day fishing is better than working. I hunt civil war artifacts but I'm a lure painter. PM me and I'll paint some baits up for yall free brother.

[@hadleyscott1160]

Shore fishing at Islamorada? Now that’s an oxymoron. Great video but shore fishing? No one who has been there and know the Gulf Stream would call that shore fishing.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

What do you call fishing from the shore?

[@maximilianfranz2124]

Side of the road fishing? Coral wall fishing? Not hiring a guide fishing? What would you prefer 🤷‍♂️

[@hadleyscott1160]

@@maximilianfranz2124 I found it as literally the best fishing in the world. You never know what you’ll catch there even from the shores. It’s just fantastic. I didn’t mean to insult anything about it and I do hope to return someday. My biggest surprise was the Bass Pro shop right there. It totally belongs. But the fishing and migrations of species is unbelievable. I loved the place.
