Steve, I always find your exploits entertaining but I rarely ever see you doing the catch, clean and cook videos that were once your main stay on the channel. Any plans to do a few trips for the table? Maybe some deep jigging for tunas??? Can’t remember the last time you made a Mangrove or Grouper sandwich? 🥪🥢 🍽️

[@sdmike1141]

Fishing during heatwave. Creating content. Editing content. I see what you’re doing. Thanks man. A privilege to “smash that like button”.

[@imahappy5317]

We had a lake up here that showed the same foam. They tested it and it was highly contaminated from PFOS or one of those. They attributed it to a base and airfield in the area.. Wonder if they would test that for you. Looks like there's a lot of dead mangroves. It's a 'forever' chemical so there's no fix.

[@wolfiewolfdog9771]

The big one hit it and you missed it

[@Max-uu2gs]

You called ❤ it. Weird fishing issues

[@pedalingthru2719]

I love fishing , but i have to say i got respect for you steve. 108 deg. Nope i am staying in joes.

[@Qcefer]

I'm pretty sure... the big one hit... and you missed him! 😁

[@dherman0001]

Hey, they had a clip of you on Ring TV with the Iguana hitching a ride.

[@StanleyAntwain-mr2up]

What channel is awesome been watching you a long time would love to see you in the near future more catch clean and cook of Mangrove snappers and lobster

[@kovacmordus8899]

Natural foam build-up is more prevalent in streams and rivers after rainfall because there's more water moving through the ground and more organic matter. The turbulence and wave action at the beach introduces air into the organically enriched water, which forms the bubbles. Foam commonly occurs in waters with high organic content such as productive lakes, bog lakes, and in streams that originate from bog lakes, wetlands, or woody areas.

[@learningCountry]

I sawa guy on tv fly fishing a long time ago and he said the florida keys never gets warmer than 70 degrees because you are surrounded by ocean. My son and I camped in Pine Key and melted. That guy LIED!

[@astajewelers]

Hey Steve great stuff.....Im really interested in you outrigger.....did you make this or purchased....and where? Also what fly do you use most times and do you sell it?

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Steve, I have to be on the water, after a few days pass. On the kayak, motoring around, checking a launch I've never been to. Once you're on the water, the load and Offload was worth it. 😁 🎣 🌊 🛶

[@Diegolasca.84]

Would you consider making more bridges fishing videos. They where the best. I'm in Cali but wish I could go back to Florida oneday

[@SBryan-dn4cy]

Hey Steve, I love your videos. I have been watching your videos for many years. I must say that the hat that you are wearing is one of the best for blocking the sun from the head and the back of the neck. I currently own two of them, and they are hard to come by at times when stores are out. However, the one that you are wearing has definitely reached its retirement. 😊 👍🏼

[@bradpeterson9325]

Astonishing lack of mosquitos or underwater mangrove habitat bites. Perhaps heat hibernations happening akin to bear winter hibernation, or cooler, deeper water refuging. Stay cool!

[@Snookwisperer]

Henn lures already has a "Shrinnow". Might wanna give them a call.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Man, it even looks hot, lol. When I'm out in extreme heat, I have two water bottles with me. A liquid water bottle and a frozen bottle. Once the frozen bottle starts to melt, drink from that bottle, and pour water from the warm bottle into the frozen one. Problem is, on the road, motels usually don't have fridge's with freezers that'll freeze a liter bottle of water. But when you can do it, it provides more than a couple of liters of ice cold water...

[@pierceschultz7967]

That’s genius

[@anthonypolizze4059]

Lots of credit to you getting out in the heat Steve! Nice to see the flats! I’m spending some time in Europe but soon to be back home in the Keys! Hopefull it cools down soon!!

[@femmebrulee5053]

I'm just here to see if he catches another raccoon ☺️

[@eastalawest1633]

When the ocean has more head than my beer you know there's a problem.

[@coolDom95]

Head and a beer sounds great

[@chelenthal]

I think the fly you were fishing was a Gurgler for those tarpon. It looked like a floating fly with craft foam. The Schminnow is a classic snook fly created by the legendary Norm Ziegler in Sanibel, FL. Works for tarpon as well, but is a subsurface fly. I can say I have lost a fair share of both flies fishing for both snook and tarpon. LOL! Great video! I love watching your stuff.

[@simpleman2]

Where you at, buddy. Been super hot 🥵

[@michaelcanavan754]

cruise ships dumping in our ocean.

[@thomasn1069]

Man I used to watch you so much! then I lost my YT acc and I tried to search you like a year later but no luck. Now i have my account back and I see you've been putting out content this whole time! I have a lot of catching up to do!!! I think last video I saw was when a hurricane was hitting or something I cant remember. Cheers from Tampa Bay

[@kadefernandez7123]

What happened when the big one hit?

[@Pete_R63]

I've heard the water temp in the Keys is 91 degrees. Crazy and bad.

[@markm391]

I was in the Keys last August. It gets pretty dang hot during the summer. Funny thing is it was over 100 degrees up in the north east when I got home. Even hotter and more disgusting with the city smog and pollution. True story

[@colinlaau9706]

U need to leave those tarpon alone lol. They always get u. Maybe bring u a umbrella. Go to deeper water. Jus my opinion

[@gullyfoyle2615]

The foam can be from an algae bloom and the decomposing of said algae. It could also be from a spill of somekind, which would be bad.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Steve, even when the fish aren't there. Or if you're just scouting spots. It's always just awesome, to watch you do what you do. 😎 🎣 🛶

[@billwallenstein3387]

August came early Steve. Get off the flats, the water is too hot. Need to fish the outside in some deeper cooler water. Up here in the Big Bend area there aren’t even any pinfish on some flats it’s so hot!

[@samajier2566]

Like fishing

[@mikew3194]

Higher temps than usual? Could it be causing the foam, something like an algae bloom?

[@coastalkayakfishingadventu7713]

TroutSet....naw....😢..

[@corkycoursen-tv4wv]

Have you found out any info on the weird stuff . Very curious.

[@thenorseguy2495]

I’m glad I live in cool Norway. It’s around 65F here today. It would be nice to visit the Keys sometime though

[@pedalingthru2719]

It's 65 there today but what's it going to be like in January when it is 70 degrees here ?

[@reymosely9138]

promo sm 😓

[@BigDipper79]

That water temp is 90. That’s crazy.

[@robbertram3310]

Seems like low oxygen level in the water.

[@Afriendd]

Lots of respect to you and your knowledge

[@deacong.4310]

Yes, that’s the type of heat I want to live in

[@juanziegler1471]

Alge bloom ?

[@11ccom]

The heat in Texas chased away the sheeters also.

[@minotaur657]

I believe that extra foam is due to a loss of salinity in the water. Probably due to intense rains we've been having lately.

[@hangingwithharry5657]

No, when large blooms of algae decay offshore, great amounts of decaying algal matter often wash ashore. Foam forms as this organic matter is churned up by the surf. Most sea foam is not harmful to humans and is often an indication of a productive ocean ecosystem.

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff dude

[@bradwilliams5242]

That’s not the first time it’s snowed in the Florida keys😊

[@pedalingthru2719]

Back in the early 80's we had snow coming into Key West on a daily basis . The police would even come down and help unload it from the boats and onto vans for transport north.

[@angieowens3077]

Great Channel!!!

[@billmoss5624]

👍😎✌
