Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

NC kayak fishermen: "Ok, he's on vacation, go quick and catch what you can before he gets back." Lol. Merry Christmas and happy fishing down there!

[@1podprince]

every time we do annual FL trip with NC style fishing it sucks! by day 3 live bait the FL way. we have a blast. its amazing the difference way of fishing between NC and FL

[@TridentDriver]

Interesting

[@jasonfulton77]

Yes that was a yellow Jack. It is some peoples' favorite sushi or locally a great fish sandwich. I like mine with soy personally.

[@WVCUR77]

Awesome 👌 Merry Christmas

[@derekperez9986]

I fish locally in keys and Miami. Yellow jack are amazing eating. I don’t eat any other jacks besides them. Never had a worm and I’ve had over 100 throughout the years fishing the keys.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Nice, I’m envious! Need to show some cooking of the fish.

[@gd3design63]

Yellow jack, great sushimi/carpaccio!!! Yum. :)

[@woodystemms3799]

Fine way to start the holiday ... something new, and probably tasty. Road trip catch & cook? Have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

[@kevindifranco3494]

John from Creek Fishing Adventures was/is in Florida with his kayak. That woulda been a good collab you take him Salt and him and you go catch a buncha invasives .

[@manmarvel]

8:40 i think thats a bluestripe grunt.

[@pathua7692]

Catch that keeper mutton and black grouper🔥🔥🔥

[@Dirtydom]

Water literally looks like Mtn Dew Baja blast

[@matthewmercer2477]

Was down there for 10 days for Thanksgiving. Fishing the keys is tough after Nov 1st. The wind blows all winter long. It was a rough week w everyone throwing live bait and I was fishing most outfishing most people with artificials. Fish Spanish key and my new fav no name key. Watch out for the baby dear they're all over and we'll jump in front of your car

[@seankelly3573]

Those yellow jacks are delicious. Good sashimi too

[@nickbaer6584]

A yellow Jack is actually in the amberjack family, great eats, great healthy benefits, and perfect for sashimi

[@d.faulkner8210]

that was a yellow jack , very fine table fare better than their cousin, great video..

[@adamsmith3996]

Pretty good day for fishing blind. Real fishermen have bloody bump boards. Merry Christmas bud.

[@markkollman870]

Should have kept the moon fish. Very tasty.

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

Nice fishing

[@eugeneweeks3325]

Been watching you since you were at 1k subs. You and Sea Money. Back when you were up north fishing. Totally different these days but love it.

[@cbreeze5279]

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for taking us along.

[@timhelton548]

Was in the ismarada last week great fishing

[@JDATokplachannel]

Beautiful fishing bro 👍

[@vsonic86]

Damn I keep seeing everybody use the Bucktail and Bucktail and Bucktail. I rarely see anyone use that slow pitch jig. Finally, somebody is doing a video using this kind of jig.

[@collin2502]

Those yellow jacks make killer sashimi

[@LongIslandLethals]

Those moon fish are like paper plates with fins 😂 nice to see the bucktails and gulp catching down there.

[@jelly_fishing]

Nice snappers and yellow jack ! Good tasty meal

[@nathanmorkovsky2855]

Happy holidays from my family to yours 🎣

[@JoseGonzalez-gb5cd]

Love your videos man. Not to be particular, but I think that was a Blue striped Grunt. Keep up the good work.

[@brooktrout8568]

did you almost call that mangrove a chungus and stopped yourself halfway through 😆

[@NARWALINVASION]

You could really feel the intensity of his regret as he said it

[@firestorm8471]

Damn that looks fun... But .. not in a kayak . Maybe a kayak with out riggers. To keep my big, old , clumsy butt from rolling over !!. Not sure what you would call this but a buddy of mine hangs a string with small mirrors on it about 10 feet under his boat.. it looks like a school of bait fish reflecting the light. It draws in some big fish !

[@sirdallin4089]

Nice vid. I remind you every once in a while about the carp catch and cook that never happened. I don’t know if anyone is still waiting, but I am. Love the vids.

[@kevindifranco3494]

Common carp are all over the US because they were a food fish. Not that I would unless it was clean water..... and I already ate my shoes.

[@sirdallin4089]

@@kevindifranco3494 I feel the same way. That’s why I like to watch KZbinrs do it lol. Maybe I’ll try it some day from some clean water, though I’ve said that for years.

[@stevesando6695]

fun variety. keep it going.

Bravo 👍👍👍

Great to see the different variety of fish. Nice vid like always

[@johnvaness8445]

Great video, hope you and Meg have a Merry Christmas!!

[@TalkFishTVHawaiianDan]

Great stuff!

[@snakoiler]

Nice video, great catches

[@VeioPescador]

I think the first one is not a yellow jack. It’s an in between species. Here we call it Guarasuma. Very good eating, a little dry meat. Look downs are delicious.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

First fish we call a blue runner. Incredible bait offshore for pelagics. Probably my favorite bait overall offshore. That or live pinfish. People also like to eat them.

[@VeioPescador]

@@JeffSmith-eq3kc I didn’t called it a bluerunner (xixarro) since the color is a little different in the video, but maybe it’s just the saturation or something. But yeah, excellent bait!

[@fedearrosa823]

@@JeffSmith-eq3kc bar jack no blue runner

[@LexHuntFish]

Great video dude ! Love seeing you fish the keys.

[@mattpoland8250]

Nice. Good luck down there, hope you catch a bunch. Looking forward to seeing how you like those lookdowns if you get into a few more.

[@MRMIKE276]

These Keys fish were not prepared for the jig special! You are very unique with your jigging and you seem to be successful everywhere you go.

[@chuckerroo5977]

Some people call the first jack you caught a barr jack. They are excellent on a big cracker with soy n wasabi👍

[@infernoxis]

Man..too bad you dont shipp to Norway. Was about to order up some Inshore Macks. Happy holidays to you and your lovedone. Looking forward for some new adventures 2022. 🎄

[@dewasumberditha5619]

Love to see you cooking the fresh fish. Hopely you can add video of fish being cooked and deliver nice food.

[@anthonydetmer]

Yellow jack for sure they can be bluish sometimes too.... aka the Florida hamachi... fantastic eating. Hands down most underrated non regulated species. Good catches! Let us know what you think of the yellow jacks

[@7thevanfishing]

Don’t worry man I will hold down the fort for you here back in North Carolina 👍🏻 (getting skunked 3 out of 4 times). Good stuff like always, pimp

[@proudamerican964]

wow all my favorite youtubers are fishing in the keys

[@maxvmcoutdooradventures7695]

Awesome video! Great stuff! :)

[@tygoom]

Those lookdowns are good to eat

[@briansaunders3768]

you're in my neighborhood. I'm in Layton, just south of channel 5 bridge. The canal here has a nice deep 'pond' that holds an incredibly diverse fishery. good luck!

[@RandomChannel-eg3wx]

That is a yellow jack and perfect eating size the taste amazing but don’t freeze well

[@drjheyer]

Love it!!! You’re like the Bob Ross of fishing 👍

[@adamsmith3996]

Watch Ndyaker. He is absolutely the bob ross of fishing. Great channel

[@scotchtape_8713]

The first one was also a yellow jack, they can vary in color.

[@fishinfool3795]

Merry Christmas Elias! Thanks for the videos. I haven't been fishing in almost a month. Waiting for good ice.

[@adamsmith3996]

Me too in N.Y. its not looking good. 50 degrees tomorrow.

[@davidboshart2571]

Thanks for your show you are very informative i am learning a lot from them I am a veteran from Kansas and now I have been living in Florida for about 8 years it's a lot different from Kansas as far as fishing I was a truck driver for a while until I damaged my back and now I can't work anymore so I am training myself to rebuild rods and reals it's not real easy but I am not doing to bad I haven't been able to go fishing for over 26 years and now I am disabled and can't carry very much with me when I go fishing and I can't walk very far I can't afford a lot of the nice things that you guys have like beach carts but I got a Gulf caddy and I am trying to build me a surf cart I have no idea of how to do it but I am not doing to bad I have been out of the army for 48 years but sorry for rambling but I just wanted to say thanks for your videos I learn from them keep up the good work you are more helpful then you could know David

Good fishing! This place is wonderful... Hugs from Brazil👍

[@williamhughes5197]

Try fishing in the canals on some of the keys. I've had great luck with it. Also try about a quarter mile off the beach around Key West on the Atlantic side. Great yellow tail snapper!

[@LipRippinJunkie]

Love the content my guy 🔥

Jan. 2 in Minnesota. 4*F, watching you in the Keys is awesome. On a cold shi** y day.

[@asaacres882]

I spend a bunch of time down in the Keys. We catch a good of Yellowjack. Never see worms. Next time you think you have a small mutton double check to see if it is a lane snapper. The dot is more of a square and the pattern is closer to a yellow tail snapper.

[@kevinjamison7240]

Cool videos. You’re lucky to have such a good fishery there on the east coast. A lot tougher fishery here on the west coast

[@dvs1ooks]

What fish would the mangrove taste like and comparable out here?

I'm new to your channel, after saying you didn't have the fish finder you said you were going to "Gogin this" what's that mean is that your term for guessing?
