How many fish actually see your bait?

Florida fishing can be packed full of action. We are in Sebastian, Florida fishing with live shrimp and clams as bait. We are getting many bites however...is not as easy as it seems. We are getting bites, but not landing fish! Something keeps stealing it!
How many people out there have wondered... How many fish have seen my bait without biting? Today we take an underwater look at what exactly is below the surface of the water, and how many fish are actually looking at our bait. Follow our adventure this week as Brendon and Erin show the underwater world of Florida.
This month the Hey Skipper team is in Florida on a mission to create videos to help the world learn more about saltwater fishing. We are here to explore one of the world’s most fantastic fishing locations and document the fascinating world of fish that live in Florida’s oceans. Stay tuned for a month filled with great fishing, monster fish, and all the methods you need to start catching them yourselves.
Our vision at Hey Skipper is to be the best source of helpful information to anyone who wants to get into the world of fishing! Help support our channel by visiting us on our website and downloading our Ebooks!

[@crazyharmless666]

grew up fishing in Idaho and California...moved to Florida and started fishing immediately. Caught my first fish, which looked totally harmless and went to take the lure from his mouth. The fish made a quick snap snap with his mouth and nearly bit off two of my fingers....bleed so much i actually became dizzy. Apparently the fish in Florida all have teeth and some hide them up in their gumline so you can't see them until they clamp down....lesson learned, now i always use pliers.

[@FloridaMannn904]

lol

[@soggywaterz2064]

Joseph do u know what kind of fish

[@crazyharmless666]

i think it was a bluefish but i'm not sure.

[@crazyharmless666]

maybe it wasnt a bluefish then...it was some years ago.

[@willfillms]

I was dissecting a fish yesterday and this particular fish even had teeth on its tongue

[@marcdemichele2689]

I must say, it is fun watching your fishing knowledge and skill-set grow on camera. Zero pretentiousness and the excitement of catching new fish species brings back a bunch of memories. I am looking forward to the video of your first Tarpon, or your first 40"+ Snook on topwater. Talk about life-changing... Keep your lines tight!!

[@HighlanderNorth1]

That's cool that you released the little one(personally I'd prefer to release both of those fish, but that's just my personal opinion). Its cool to see the fish swimming underwater there, because you normally get the feeling that there aren't that many fish left, because you don't see that many from above(and because of 400 years and millions of people catching them).

[@HeySkipper]

+HighlanderNorth1 yea, it's incredible how many there were down there. It's like jumping into another world isn't it?

[@joshhonea9647]

I love how your videos don't start with a big message "to like and subscribe and hit the bell icon". They get right to the point and that's why I subscribed and hit the bell icon ;)

[@bassbitesfishing]

I recommend topwater baits for jacks. Realllllly fun!

[@HeySkipper]

BassBitesFishing love top water! So satisfying!

[@gabrielvicente6027]

Hello Skipper, love your job, traveling and fishing all over. My favorite fish is pampano, very delicious fish for Sinigang soup. Good luck in you and your wife fishing adventures. God bless

[@harsy81]

I found your channel a while ago and I thought this channel must have a lot of subscribers, so I checked and realized you didn't have as many as other channels so i instantly subscribed. Also keep it up because I believe you guys will get really big and I love your videos. :)

[@shauns.fishin]

You will never stop learning about fishing! Even I need to use different techniques and change my ways at my local waters, because over time, the fish adapt as well and become more suspicious in a way, especially with lures. Love your videos. Come holiday over here in Australia. Plenty for you to target and film!

[@pisgahridgeoutdoors8560]

The grunting from the Jack is telling all the other Jack's it's danger don't go leave

[@TheMasterCaster]

I'm pretty sure that Jack Crevalle can get up to 70 pounds. I think the world record is like 66 pounds. Jack crevalle are also known by many people in the south to taste like crap, but I've eaten one before, its pretty good. In order for them to taste good they need to be small, so the size of the first one you caught. They also need to be bled to get rid of the oil blood from their meat, and the fresh fillets need to be soaked in milk or even just water to get rid of the fishy taste and oils.

[@HeySkipper]

+TheMasterCasters you are just packed full of knowledge man! Never heard of soaking in milk. That's very interesting. Thanks again for sharing

[@TheMasterCaster]

Senko Skipper Thanks! I'm always happy to share

[@nirvangyan5224]

TheMasterCasters I caught a 18lb jack crevalle earlier this year, filetted and cut it into chunks and cooked it teriyaki style and you could hardly tell it was even fish

[@frankbramwell9378]

Jack's once for once are one of the top hard fighting fish....the blue fish same family.....greater amber jack largest in family.....pull your arms off

[@shutupcnt5222]

Im curious if you eat it plain is it nice ? because people say the same about mackerel but where I live lots of people grew up on mackerel. Its very oily plain but some people swear by it plain or with a squeeze of lemon at most. I will only eat it plain if its smoked, fresh smoked mackerel is amazing goes well with almost anything. but unless you are a real big person don't eat more than two that are cooked plain without a side dish. Or you'll be shitting through the eye of a needle.

[@aidan5720]

fish you double crossed these nice people! how dare you not eat the bait because you arent hungry!

[@HeySkipper]

[@salmonninja7223]

I'm from the UK and mainly fish for Salmon. I'm really enjoying your videos. Good fun and informative. I've subbed. I enjoy doing videos when I'm out fishing too. It gets quite addictive!

[@punkinnmann82]

I've grown up on the Arkansas river. Besides the river, there are many ponds and deep strip pits to fish in our area. Fishing takes up a lot of my time. I've enjoyed your videos and have always yearned to fish in saltwater. There's not too much variety in local freshwater. The most interesting thing to catch around here is the paddlefish. You'll have to look it up. It is unchanged for millions of years.

[@adamk3831]

id like to see some big striper fishing perhaps in the chesapeake bay and i would also like to see more freshwater fishing

[@HeySkipper]

+Bucks Bass Fishing surprising right?? We were pretty amazed. Do you have an underwater camera?

[@jonathonmccunnm5415]

Looks like the wabasso bridge about 8 or 9 miles south of Sebastian inlet . The thing that you called a walk way used to be a catwalk that you could fish off of used to be a great place to catch shrimp when they ran . That cat walk is very old and just not safe anymore and that's why people fish off the bridge . I've lived in that area for 30 years and fished all over

[@HeySkipper]

+Jonathon Mccunnm wow, the shrimp run sounds really cool. Why didn't they rebuild the catwalk? Thanks so much for checking out our video, the fish in that area are amazing!

[@brandonolewiler1871]

They get up to 25 lbs and if u use gotcha plugs and metal shiny lures they love them

[@HeySkipper]

Brandon Olewiler I've heard they like spoons!

[@brandonolewiler1871]

Senko Skipper well gotcha plugs are like spoons they are small minnow immatator that u want to get them in all white or all silver but they come in many colors and sizes I like the 1 oz version they cast a mile and they catch literally everything except bottom species

Brandon Olewiler that's a lie

[@jackmoore2733]

Brandon Olewiler they get way bigger than 25lbs, lol. I caught a 40lb+ jack crevalle when I went to the keys last summer.

[@aristared1348]

You should have killed the other fish and not just let it out of the water. Its slowly suffocating...

[@JViello]

You watched to many Disney movies. LOL Fish don't think, feel or reason like we do. Look, I am the last person who wants to see any living creature suffer but at the same time I have to be a realist about the world around me. Fish eat each other...they eat smaller examples of their own kind! They are not even self aware and certainly do not process pain like humans do. If the fish is like any creature that is taken out of it's natural surroundings I.E. like a mammal drowning, it went unconscious shortly after being taken out of the water...so even if it was "aware" about it's situation it all went dark shortly after and no suffering took place. The reason I would give for killing it right away would be to preserve the meat for better eating. A quick kill stops the fish from stressing and releasing hormones/enzymes and whatnot into itself.

[@justinpalmero9051]

Should have cut & bled the fish.

[@bobdigi500]

@@JViello however if a fish can be startled, afraid or confident, I struggle to believe it doesn't care how it's treated.

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

[@jameselger572]

The Universal fish bait to use in Florida, is bread. I didn't believe it either but you can catch almost anything on bread. Trust me, the best bait in Florida, BREAD>

[@jameselger572]

Honestly, I fished there for years, and refused to use Bread. I moved to a different state, and now I regret it because, when I really think about it, they were catching everything with bread! I never proved any kind of point except that I won't give up even if sometimes, I'm wrong.

[@jameselger572]

I did figure it out. Most of these fish, are very accustom to finishing off anything a Gator or Crock started eating, and the flesh of fish and birds, is all very white in the water, so they really love white bread, and white bait.

[@jameselger572]

Fluffy floating, randomly shaped, torn floating white stuff, like a gator just finished off something.

[@jameselger572]

To a fish, really white bread as bait in Florida, just means easy to swallow food.

[@jameselger572]

If you ever see me fishing, and I'm not catching anything, don't do what I do, you won't catch anything.

here in lebanon, you can catch those amberjack upward of 3 ft if youre lucky (bite best at night out on a boat), but we use live sardines as bait and they bite nicely at around 10-20 m tastes great fried with rice btw!

[@christopherdonato277]

When you're fishing with clams and shrimp (and squid for that matter), it's easy for your bait to slide off your hook when fish nibble on it. It can also easily fly off your hook when you cast. I had a similar experience in the Keys. It can be tough to hook up on something when your bait is so easy to lose. It takes some practice and finesse. Once I got the hang of it, I was catching snapper, barracuda, and even bonnet head sharks right off the shore.

[@HeySkipper]

+Christopher Donato you are very right. The trick is to keep the bait on! Without them flying off at the cast

[@bballer5700]

Ew why would you eat a jack

[@HeySkipper]

Russell Freeman why do people eat pig knuckles? Why do people eat hot dogs? It's all depending on where you are from/ where you are raised. Something that is unappetizing to someone else may be delicious to you. And vice versa. Hope that answers your question, thanks for watching😊

[@okerhrh4139]

Russell Freeman in europe we throw most organs away, in most countrys, I visited China and there it is a delicacy to eat brains, liver etc. polish eat carp also, which seems disgusting to me

Amber jack is like a cheap mans version of kingfish/marlin/sailfish steak. Thick meat, good eating.

I'm normally a freshwater fisherman but I went to fort Lauderdale Florida with a friend and we fished. we did deep sea fishing but even off the pier we caught a few small jacks, but we must've caught over 40 pufferfish.

"DUDE!! I was swimming along, and decided to eat a bite, next thing I know I'm being pulled up in the sky! Then this giant reached down and pulled me into, I guess it's outer space! These beings were HUGE! They were able to handle me in ways I didn't know was possible. They they they help me down then put a contraption on me...*weeps*... They said I was nice but not a keeper. Then I felt like I was swimming fast, but couldn't breathe, and now I am here. Guys, I think I was abducted by aliens!" BTW, loved the underwater shot and Erin has a great voice for the voiceover work. Well done!

[@radsti]

Back here in South Africa they are called Kingfish (Ignobus) and the mother of all species of Kingfish is the Giant Trevally (Caranx Ignobus) and to me there is no stronger fish in the ocean (pound for pound). The GT (Giant Trevally) can grow up to about 80 kgs and you will need exceptionally strong tackle to land it. Nice video...

[@bobbymosley892]

i've been catching jacks all my life on the alabama gulf coast . i;ve caught them up to 55#. Hooking up on a large jack is like hooking on to a VW beetle. Lots of power and very fast.

Nice jacks. Some old fishermen saying, never hold up a fish before it get unhook. Especially the lure that more than 1 hook. Think about it when Brendon holding that jack with the 2nd hook close to his right hand, what will happen if the fish flip n twist in a sudden...... ya that's hurt huh? Just sharing some safety issue here, happy fishing😊

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Hi there, very nice and good location to spent a day of fun fishing. It make my hand feel itchy. Have you tried Sabiki Rig. This rig will catch those swimming off the bottom. You can also try the Up Down Rig or the High Low Rig, use small hook and small bait and your bait not be stolen away so often but will catch you more fish. As the theory said, Big hook can catch Big fish, but small hook can catch small and big fish.

[@vangxiong2766]

[@ehukai2003]

In Hawaiʻi, we have three different types of jacks (called Trevally Jacks): Giant Trevally (or GT, all white), Bluefin Trevally (ʻOmilu), and Yellow-Spotted Trevally. The juvenile trevally in Hawaiian are called papio, and the bigger ones (usually over 5-7 lbs.) are called ulua. Any bluefin ones are called ʻomilu. The GT can get up to about 200 lbs, possibly more, and can be as long as the average man is tall. ʻOmilu get up to about 50 lbs (I think), and yellow-spotted ones can get up to about 15-20 lbs, I believe. I would recognize this fish anywhere, no matter its color scheme, because most of us fish for it if going from shore, or if guys a skin diving and spearing them. Don't get me wrong, we will go for other fish, but this is usually the prize for the size and fight. One tip I learned: don't throw them back. If you throw back the alpha of the school, the entire school will swim away. Even if you're going to throw them back, only do so after catching as many as you can, keep them in a bucket, then release them.

[@judomoose00]

Nice underwater camera work and voice over. Maybe do some some more of both.

[@hottchikkillz16]

I used to catch these Jacks in Naples Florida off the pier what I used to use was a ounce and a half Diamond jig with a Bucktail. throw it out there as far as you can and real like crazy until it gets to the surface and dances on the top water and the Jax would Chase it on top of the water. hang on because their adrenaline rush Frenzy when they hit that thing your lines going to run

[@lynxera5516]

I caught a 38 pound jack about a month ago (we weighed it it’s not exaggerated) I used 15lb mono and live lined a minhaden it was a 45 min fight I got him to the kayak at least 3 times but as soon as he came close he took off very fun fish to catch and fight very well for their size.

Cool video y'all. I caught some of those jacks back in July I believe down in Freeport Texas on my buddy's boat and man those things would fight good. We caught some nice big ones and would take about 30 minutes to finally get one in the boat. We caught them all day on ribbon fish. Are y'all coming to the bassmaster classic in Houston this year?

It's related to the Amberjack, which has a yellow tail as well, hence it being called Yellowtail. You've probably heard of the name before, as it's served in sushi restaurants everywhere. All I know about the Jack Crevalle is that it tastes fucking great with lemon, butter, and ground pepper.

+SuperJahobo first person on youtube to tell Me it tastes great! Most people say it tastes horrible. But I believe they aren't cooking it correctyl

[@SuperJahobo]

First of all, Jack Crevalle reach weights of over 50lbs. 70lb jacks have been seen but not caught on hook and line. They are very prone to schooling activity, and when they do, each fish in the school is around the same size. They (like many other members of the jack family) have bloody, oily meat and sometimes the larger ones have worms, so they're usually caught for sport or bait, not food. They are ravenous feeders and extremely speedy and aggressive fish. They eat a wide diet of food but they eat more fish than anything else. lures that imitate dying or fleeing fish work best. spoons, jigs, plugs, and topwater lures. They frequently get together in schools and start feeding frenzies, pinning schools of small bait fish to the surface, against sea walls and jetties or other structures as they eat them. Most lures used for them are fished quickly. they also will take cut bait, live bait, and plastics.

Do they make a bait that has a built in cam to see if theres many fish and what kind are in the area your fishing

[@GeoFitz4]

Jack crevalles are fun to catch and the table fare is ok. But if you want some really good eating, get some Mangrove snappers that are big enough to take home next time. Really excellent table fare.

[@HeySkipper]

+GeoFitz4 yes, I hear the Jack is mediocre to many people.

[@HeySkipper]

+GeoFitz4 I've tried the mangrove, yum!

[@GeoFitz4]

Amberjack though are really good eating. Have to go offshore to find them though. At least 100 foot depth over big structure. Butterfly jigs work great and they're a fun fight. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until next January to harvest because the Feds have already closed them for the year.

You can use live bait like shrimp, crabs, or some type of little bait fish but you can also use soft plastic minnows or hard plastic minnows and flashy rattling baits and also crevalle jacks can get up to 50 pounds +

[@HeySkipper]

+Njh 2015 wow. Have you ever caught one? That's great bait advice!! Thanks for watching!

[@Njh-os1ju]

Senko Skipper i live in Florida so I catch them all the time
