Hey guys, my wife myself and my brother ran into you guys last month at a Tiki bar there on sugar loaf key complete with the captain! You could not have been more genuine and kind. We were a little starstruck and overserved, but you posed for some great pictures with us and were just the way we hoped you guys would be! Would love to bump into you again someday. Love your vlogs of the keys, wish we could've stayed longer.

[@CaptainDave305]

You guys were awesome!

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

It would be so wild to meet the Odens!!! When they were in the U.P. last year we hoped we would run into them but not yet that lucky. I would love to cook for you or with Kelly! We actually found you lovely souls by searching for Pad Thai recipes. 😂 Have to visit the Captain while in FL next time. MUST. 🎣🌺🎣

[@willschroeder7089]

Thanks Dave, you were too! You're a great addition to the channel.

[@CodyandKellie]

It’s always nice to meet our fans! We love you guys!

[@BigT962]

Would love to meet them

[@dorisweems1510]

Kellie's food always looks so delicious.

[@kearnsey64]

Cody looks like Kenny Loggins back in the day, lol! That fish looked incredible! Ya’ll need to just move to Key West!!😍😍😍

[@jimmyrosen9424]

Native Floridian here: Cody, the shell you found is a "welk" and not a conch.

[@jodiesebek2440]

We love camping at Sugarloaf Key back before the last hurricane. We would paddle board over through the mangroves . Your trout pasta sounds delicious 😋

[@ursinidaho]

Amazing places with no people and lots of clear aqua blue water. This is just so pretty!

[@CodyandKellie]

It really is!

[@victoriabroyles6467]

I've really been enjoying these videos . Wish I could give you a bunch of thumbs up! Captain Dave Rocks!!!

[@melissazwieg2988]

🌅🌅🌅 sweetest couple!!! always so good to each other!!!

[@riverratt8626]

A tip for Dave's camera. Move it back to the overhead bar above the center counsel or mount it off the counsel it's self. The reason is you want the front of the boat in the video for a reference point in video's, especially going through canals and rivers.

[@CaptainDave305]

Thanks for the advice. I’m working on getting another camera so I can have multiple mounting options.

[@azdesertrat9104]

Cody, you and David are having more and more 'bro-mance' moments! 😂🤣 I love it! Watch out Kelly, you might have some competition! 🤣You two really seem to be loving all that Florida Keys lifestyle! No one could blame you two for having a second home there. It's good enough for Jimmy Buffet and Kenny Chesney. it's good enough for me!

[@briancaldwell1798]

You all have fun and be safe out there!

[@IShallNotBeSilent]

Hilarious, now what do we do with the Jack?.....Too funny. Have a great day!

[@user-lg1gj3li9j]

Ya'll are making this Florida born n raised lady SOOOO homesick! Was born in Miami but raised on Pine Island where my bicycle was the kicker boat and my roads were the back bays and inlets and anywhere we could cram a canoe or kayak just to see where the opening went. I miss being able to go out on the water any time i chose to but NEVER EVER go alone! Happy trails and safe travels to ya'll!

[@JenniferDavis-ve5ym]

Awesome content as always, looking forward to y'all's next destination stay safe😁

Thank you so much!

[@78twood]

I LOVED THIS VLOG 💜 I was raised in St Pete but moved out of Florida after a divorce. After living 27 years in Florida, having a boat, getting out on the water, spending so many times at the beach, I can actually feel all of what yall are doing. I can smell the ocean air. It’s making me SO HOMESICK for the beach! AND fish tacos under the tiki hut ?! Life just doesn’t get any better than doing exactly what yall are doing 😆💜 I could watch these videos every week and never get tired of them lol. Even when yall got back from a day on the water and Cody talked about how the sun just took it all out of you, I felt that too ! Countless years of experiencing that same feeling 😅 Love yall to pieces 🥰

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching

[@TsarTrail]

Great video. You guys are making the most of the Keys. Awesome

[@rickibelden986]

Florida state is a bucket list vacation for me. Thanks for the tour ❤.

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

We did a tour of Florida a few years ago. Drove past Miami and didn't regret it. Naples, and the keys were the highlights of our memories.

[@chinoyhealingfoodstravels8888]

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸 nice work on this video. Cheers 🥂

[@randyruney5704]

Love the video. We stayed by the bridge. Took our boys & friends there. Heard there’s lobster there but tough with the current. Thanks

[@kaymccain1593]

This was sooo good. Cody I liked your shirt!!!! I love watching your videos. You two are so sweet!!!❤❤

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks so much!!

[@terencebaxter4821]

I have caught jacks on a fly rod. Lots of fun.

[@lesleyclark3162]

Lovin these videos down in the Keys, you guys have some of the best videos and photographs I've seen. Also, I have learned so much from both of you. You do an amazing job explaining history and details about your explorations. I love learning from your experiences. Its a cheap way to travel without leaving my home. LOL. Love the cooking on most videos. I jusrt wish I could have Kelly full time to prepare meals for me. HA...... you two are just wholesome nice enjoyable folks to watch. Your love and joy between you is amazing. You truly do have an angel princess, Kody, but Kelly has a stud muffin.......... Hugs from Iowa

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for the kind words! 😊

[@tammyf8215]

So funny, Cody says I’m the worse fisherman but I love it and keep going 😂. That’s totally me . I love it so much husband always finds me in the Fishing section anywhere we go. 😂😂😂… I love you cookbook. You both are amazing and absolutely love watching your videos…..

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching

No flipping way! I have been looking up videos on the islands in FL. You guys read my mind! lol

[@TheDaubSquad]

Oh my gosh! We were there in August 2023. We missed the end of the road bridge. It was SO HOT. We did kayak around Sugarloaf Key though.

[@ginfizz3419]

Kellie and Cody I think Florida looks good on you both...That would become my home base for a long while..

[@CodyandKellie]

We don’t wanna leave 😭

😂 Cody if you're the worst fisherman,I'm second. I love fishing but I only ever caught one big bass and a catfish once. The rest were perch😢. Enjoying the heck out of your Keys life!!! Hugs both of you ❤

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

As usual your taking me home my old home is there in Doctors Arm subdivision corner of Matthew’s Ln and Baileys Ln I spent days fishing Diving and exploring the back country used to go out on my 13 ft skiff and sleep under the stars out there and the stars were endless. Best days of my young life keep on bringing it I’ll be there in May for my 50th class reunion ( Go Dolphins).

[@rivasoutdooradventures]

You could’ve totally eaten that Jack lol it’s really not bad at all. With the way Kelly cooks, she will make it taste great! I really enjoy your videos by the way! You guys are so fun to watch. I’d love to live your same lifestyle but with 2 little kids, it can be difficult. Someday I guess! So glad I came across your channel! Keep bringing these FL keys videos!

[@CodyandKellie]

Definitely!!

[@danielletalerico2889]

Hey guys I just subscribed to your Channel I've been watching you for a while on KZbin but it was on my television so I thought I'd jump on my phone so I can subscribe to your Channel. I absolutely love you guys I've spent so much time watching your videos I feel like I know you, I'm a lot older than you guys probably twice your age and I live in a retirement community in Clearwater Florida, I've been thinking seriously about selling my place and buying an RV and going full time I know a little bit about living on the road cuz I used to be a truck driver and your truck camper is probably four times the size at least on the inside than my semi was and I was totally content in there cuz I had everything I needed TV microwave, toaster oven ,television, Etc, I know a lot of people at my age would consider getting off the road and getting a Sticks and Bricks home, but I'm bored to death sitting here day after day I would rather spend my last few years rving and seeing the country in a way in which I can actually stop and smell the roses and enjoy it rather than just passing through to make a delivery, anyway I absolutely love your videos and I just wanted to let you know, God bless and stay safe out there.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching! Hope you get to start your journey some day.

We just drove through there

Do yourself a favor and buy the cookbook! We have had ours from that first run they did, still haven't tried everything. But have a ton of favorites

I know your ❤️ is in Arkansas but I also think y'all love Florida too.

Content and the Passage is one of the most beautiful spots by boat down there. Careful don't give location away as this area is still considered pristine by most.

[@cominguproses8481]

Love what you guys do!! I keep trying to get your cookbook but it is always sold out, any idea when it will be back in?

[@CodyandKellie]

Not really sure. We got to sell some T shirts first 😂

[@jamestopeka2236]

I love Florida and Philippines , it's kinda alike in weather and trees .

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Another beautiful adventure! Its so strange to me to see you out in the water that far and yet its so shallow. Completely different from the Pacific - except in Hawaii. Cody, you have really acquired some great skills with the drone. Your work keeps getting better. Just curious, do they make water proof drones??? If it lost power, would it be a goner? Something tells me you two will be looking for a house in the Keys.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for the kind words! I don’t think they make waterproof drones. If it fell in the water it’s over. We’re on our second drone. We wish we could live down there but it’s $$$$$.

[@wayneukes2438]

Enjoying your FL Keys sojourn with Cap'n Dave. Beautiful videos, as always, Cody! Wishing I could afford long days on the water with the Captain! Northern Lite truck campers here. We do lots of cooking. Thinking how to do spices in the camper and considering your spice rack. 1. How do you use the space in the cabinet behind the spice rack? 2. Do square spice bottles also fit into the spice rack (such as Simply Organic brand in many supermarkets?) Thanks so much.!

[@CodyandKellie]

We store coffee behind it. Yes, any square spice bottle will hold.

[@FRZNTYM1]

Beaches are tough to come by in the Keys and once you do find one you hope the winds are whipping because the noseeums will not let you stay long I don't care what you spray on yourself. lol

[@FRZNTYM1]

Irma actually made landfall right at Cudjoe Key. It was a mess.

[@HebertsWorld]

Don't be down, Cody! It's called fishin', not catching! It's definitely a numbers game.

[@josebegui]

You guys are turning into Fresh Water Conchs!

[@juliebolduc802]

Jacks are absolutely edible! You just have to smoke it, not grill or fry it. Soak in buttermilk for awhile then pat dry and season up! shame on David for not knowing this! They are very fun to catch!!

[@CaptainDave305]

You can technically eat any fish but why would you want to choose a Jack over Mangrove Snapper? That’s also a lot of work to make a subpar fish somewhat edible. I think I’ll leave those for you.

[@juliebolduc802]

@@CaptainDave305 thanks! We like them okay, if that’s all we can catch for the day. Better than nothing! Happy fishing!

[@bjstark5069]

Hey hey yall, I see you're having a great time in FL. Kellie, what's going on with your brother Johnny??? He hasn't put out any new videos in a while! I sure hope he's ok! Let him know we're missing him!
