It’s our first time fishing at Key West in Florida! Erin and I can’t wait to explore and see what kind of fish are biting off this bridge. This is the first day of saltwater fishing and I know there are going to be a bunch of fun species to catch.

Congrats on 500k!

[@gino55yo]

very nice video as per usual

[@andybrown7208]

so funny - i regularly catch something right after a boat goes by - thinking it helps stir up the water almost like chum kicking food up and around - also gets water harder to see for fish so they might miss the hook and bite.

[@SeamusHilleary]

Keep up the great work skipper!

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you. Honored

[@momoniji6439]

I was down in the keys 2 days ago, had no luck except a couple bites on cut jack crevalle.

[@wlg2367]

On the way to Key West try Bahia Honda. One of the prettiest beaches anywhere and great place to fish on old train trestle.

[@jarettschoeffield7536]

My brother and his family were down there in the beginning of July, had a lot of luck on the head boats. Always cool to see something different.

[@HeySkipper]

Yea! It’s a different perspective, an adventure that anyone can go try!

[@captjinxmarine9832]

Erin you remind of my daughter when would go fishing. Catch a fish up on her toes.

Nice to see Erin catching a lot of fish. It must be so neat fishing off the bridges. Where I am we can’t fish off of most of the bridges.

[@HeySkipper]

The bridges are fun to fish! If you ever make a trip to the keys you should try!

[@crackeronapier8056]

Hit Long Key bridge in islamorada . Chum the top and bottom. Bigger ballyhoo cuts. Fresh ballyhoo is the key! Great content!

[@felixlopez480]

Spanish Harbor is one of the best bridges to catch keeper mangroves and yellow jacks. Next time you throw your chum in the water use size 3/0 circle hooks with shrimp, dead or alive it doesn’t really matter. There were some 14”+ mangroves under your chum, they just weren’t interested in the sabiki.

[@giannolo1]

Been to Key West twice and wondered what it would be like to fish there. Love Erin's new haircut.

[@HeySkipper]

It’s fun there! Go back with a rod next time

It still freak's me out when you show scenes of you driving. As to me your on the wrong side of the road and the car 🤣🤣👍🍻🇦🇺

[@djfliq1]

I spearfish Ed this bridge and there are hundreds of snapper by each pilon, some as big as my chest. The issue in this area are barracuda, they will snaych your catch quick and they wait for you to throw bait in the water and catch a fish then they strike.

[@claymoore4077]

Great videos! I lived in KW for years. Try Captain John's grey hound 1/2 day fishing charter. Really good people. Peace.

[@Eazytripzz]

that snapper was a school master

[@_-_Xander_-_]

last comment: night fishing rn is rlly good for decent mangrove snapper (cast out away from under the bridge to avoid bait stealing fish)

[@johnsurf509]

Anchovies and sardines,is all you need!!But good to have a few different baits for sure,Erin killing it!!Gotta just use the sabiki with no bait to catch bait fish, if you put bait on it your gonna get all the reef rubbish fish, we have better subiki rigs in Hawaii we have the killer japan ones!!I always enjoy your folks videos!!

[@scopecrazydr1319]

Most of the fish caught bridge fishing like that will catch you dog master and most kinds of snappers really fun catching them

I was surprised to see you catch a strawberry grouper off of a bridge. I have only caught them in deeper water. Very good eating actually. It is amazing how many types of fish you can catch off the bridges there. Great video.

[@HeySkipper]

We were both surprised! So many random fish here. We are really enjoying the adventure.

All the keys bridges have them. Few and far between. Loving the content! Buying a bait box now!

[@calallen8786]

Schoolmaster. Btw night time fishing been on fire down in the keys . Use frozen sardines or manhaden. What I've learned in Florida. You do NOT use chum on bridge. It a waste of money since all the cut bait and scrap that what brings the fish in. Cast the bait toward other bridge pilings for bigger mangrove or cast it out in the open for big muttons snappers. It hard to catch live bait in the keys

[@reymarcarino1044]

I want to see a catch and cook! 🎣 🍳🔥

[@frankiev-tech4630]

Yooooo guys I'll be down there tomorrow! Not that south but I'll point you the right bridge further north 😆! I know exactly that bridge you were at...it's actually a good bridge but not during the day with this heat. I caught my first Snook and Tarpon there. Right now the trend there is night fishing...during the day it's too hot and you'll get dinks! Trust me I fished there for years. If you want to join me...I'll show you how it's done down there with my setup and you'll be super impressed what toys I got! It's a very unique fishery down there...buy frozen or live Ballyhoo for some massive Snappers. Large size Mangrove Snappers, Mutton Snappers, Yellow Jacks, and Cudas love them!

[@antonyvo4president]

next time you are in key west i will be happy to take you out to do some boat fishing!

[@HeySkipper]

That would be cool! Thanks for the offer!

[@darwindelacruz6134]

You guys should go to guam. I'm from there and there is plenty of spots to fish. And different species too

[@gb8265]

Buy some blue crabs and freeline them with the current for permit (although im not sure if they are still running) and for bigger snapper and yellowjacks use pilchards with the current with a 1-1/2 oz egg sinker, cut bait doesnt work that well on warmer water and less so in the summer, but also the tiny gotchas jigging with the current can work. And use chum a lot of chum

[@gb8265]

And Cudas are bitting hard this time of the year, use small blue runners and clip the tail

How do you clean/wash your fishing gloves? I have look on KZbin but didn't find any help. Wondering if you have some tips or tricks? Maybe idea for upcoming video? 🤔

[@Eazytripzz]

also fish with live shrimp through the tail knocker rig you’ll get hog snapper and with a mutton dog you get mutton’s with chunked ballyhoo

[@crackeronapier8056]

Perfect advice. We slayed the mutton on long key bridge. Learned we needed bigger chunks of ballyhoo. Averaged 17” got one keeper. And a bunch of yellow tail keepers!
