[@thenauticalhunter7388]

Heiko ... you have inspired me. Not only with your skills on the water, but your personality and drive have made me question if I am truly following what I am passionate about... I want to thank you from my heart for everything you encourage us viewers to do with our ambitions and dreams. The only one that can change our outcome and attain our goals is us. Just like the only one who can get in our way is also us. I’m glad you didn’t allow negative people or your ex to dictate your happiness and ambitions👍🏼 keep those lines tight and I’d love to see you out on the water sometime soon

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

thanks for the words! Haters won't be able to bring me down =) It's my subs like you that keep me motivated to keep putting out quality content. I'm working to keep making it better and better

[@hungnmiami]

How far did you run out of Pennekamp Heiko to get to the patch reefs

My wheel had a 7 inch cracked on it...and a welding shop in homested got it fix in less than 20 min....btw jb weld does wonders but...you need to wire brush that surface..cheers!

[@merrywissemes]

You look waaaaaay happier in the Keys, buddy. Thanks for the video.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

It's hard not to be happy when you're in the keys!

[@johnkelly2860]

Enjoyed the heck out of the video! Helps me get thru the day. Thanks brother!

[@garyparsons-x9l]

When making beer batter, super cool your beer by putting in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes. Then pour into a glass or bowl to get rid of the foam. Add a tablespoon or so of baking powder to the flour. Just some ideas but looks super good.

[@229cypresshill]

Will you breakdown your gear. Rods reels line weights etc. thank you

[@burgiebuns9117]

I enjoyed your phallus statue in the background while you were cutting the fish lmao!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

lolololol didn't notice it was so obvious till I was editing the footage! lol

[@capnstevoanythinggoes]

Good to see you back in the Keys Bruddah. I just got back from working in Kentucky for three months. Time to get my boat water ready for the Keys.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yea it's that time again!

[@treetop9914]

I heard once on radio that you can use axe spray for sun burns and it burns for seconds then goes away and sun burn never burns again? But have never tried it.

[@paulk8716]

62 degrees is summer weather in NJ! I’m in shorts and a t shirt in 62 degrees! Your a spoiled Keys resident I guess? The fish looked delicious!

[@roberts7107]

Wait! What? You have your own personal bait catcher? Where do I get one?

[@AJOutdoors1]

Good to see you out fishing in the keys again!

[@kailanicooke5887]

I love how stolked u get!!!!! Ever get to the west coast let's hit that ling cod madness

[@nc1454]

Awesome video. Love the pop ups with detailed information. It’s great to see you getting back out fishing the keys

[@fishingwithgusofficial831]

Heiko good to see you are back. U ever try a double snell hook for snapper? Saw it on Saltstrong wondering if u ever tried it.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I have not but I have heard good things about it

[@TheNicko773]

Nice video. I'm a TIG welder that does aluminum welding. Not to be negative, but that weld on that rim is definitely not a good weld by far. You can fix that rim with a welder who knows how to TIG.

[@bubblef8073]

A new video!!! I am so excited moved from the right side of the couch to the left side😁

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

lolol, get the blood flowing!

[@franklauria6846]

Heiko, great vid. what's with the water bottle attached to the bally hoop net?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

so it floats back with the current. Or else the net sinks

[@andrewb.4098]

I missed these kinds of videos

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

They are coming back! Another one comes out Saturday! Or maybe even tomorrow ?! Will see how much I get done tonight

[@andrewb.4098]

Sick

[@marcobainsr1353]

Hey Heiko your the man bro I love to watch your fishing show .keep up the good work my brother all the best .

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks panther!

[@franklauria6846]

and that blunt knife is actually a cheese knife. lol. the perforations on the side are so the cheese doesn't stick tot he knife when you cut it.

[@firaslahham5451]

The best fishing channel🙌

[@ericstegner5730]

Try to check around wheel shops or wherever and see if someone has a stock set of wheels and tires. People put the big dog fancy wheels on and may still have the old stock set.

[@ReelHazardous]

Great Mangrove snapper!

[@gunavaratharajan7246]

Awesome video folks... Shoot some underwater video too..

[@Oldskool-mv3ss]

Heiko you have all the luck!! Again another great video. I have watched all your videos on keys fishing!! The family and I will be in marathon in July . Hope we can do well trolling and patch reef fishing as you doin your videos,, Tight lines

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Cheers! Thanks for tuning in. I hope you guys do well. Also on your way out you can catch all sorts of cool yellow jack and mackeral trolling small feathers and dive plugs on the patch reefs

[@petermyers479]

Try adding your seasoning to the bread crumbs some time. Great video, very entertaining, thanks.

[@mauriciopeterson5704]

Now this wa i like you allways show where you planing to going fishing you inspired me to fish the good spots in the water but i live in carrybening and here we have biger wahoos and tuna last week i chught a 150 pound whaoo

[@seankhan5452]

Great Vid Heiko....nice to see you back where it all started....that Mango was a Slobb👍🏼🐟....when you were cutting the fish into chunks.....was that a Buddah with a Hardon...in the back ...lmao🤣🤣

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

haha glad you noticed it! =)

[@shaneellis6955]

Awesome Love to see you back in the keys. I'll be down this weekend trying to get on the reefs Sunday when the wind dies

[@rob_3308]

I heading over to key largo this June to go fishing for a few days. What/where is the best place to get bait. I'm just going to fish for a few days so I'm not going to buy a cast net. I'm from California, and we just use sabiki rigs. How well do those work?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I really like the key largo fisheries for bait but Captain Bads isn't bad either! Despite the name lololol

[@tazr1781]

great job ... glad your back in the keys !!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks Taz

[@FishIslandMedia]

“It’s 62 degrees outside. It’s freezing cold” ...you’re not gonna like the fall striped bass run too much then. Lmfao

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

LOLOL if I prepare for the cold and have some hot coffee I can manage =)

[@FishIslandMedia]

South Florida Fishing Channel idk what this coffee is you speak of. We got caawfee round here.

[@timking9612]

great sales pich for the land rover. salmon season is starting here and i am going to send you some MIND BLOWING catching vids. fishing under a waterfall.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I have never caught a salmon. Would be awesome!

[@gavin7261]

Lol your sunglasses tan line makes your nose look extra red , like Rudolph 😂😂 no roast intended. It’s just funny

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I was ready to be roasted posting footage of my raccoon eye tan

[@chrissechelzski8340]

Well done. The fish nuggets looked good.

[@Brock_Landers]

My bad bro, but I almost hesitated to hit the like button because I grew up in Brandon, Florida outside of Tampa and while sometimes in the winter I would rock a sweater, I would never cry about 62 degrees being cold...lol! Especially now considering the fact that I live an hour north of Pittsburgh and this morning when I woke up it was 20 degrees and there was 5" of snow on the ground and I had to drive 2 hours to get to work. The only thing worse than that, and the Polar Vortex that we had in 15 and 16 was on 2/14/10 when we had 28" of snow overnight and it was 12 degrees. I lived in Allentown, PA back in 1993 when we got 29" overnight and another 8" the next day. We moved down to Brandon, Florida Christmas Day of 1993. I was just playing about hesitating to hit the like button, I always hit it before watching the videos. I was just joking about the 62 degree thing. That happens when you spend your entire life in south Fluurrda.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Lol I'm so bad with the cold!

[@Brock_Landers]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel I don't blame you buddy. I know that if I still lived in Florida I'd be that warm blooded too. I HATE this weather anymore. When I lived down there I complained because there was no change in season, and then I get here and complain about how cold it is and I want to go home...lmao

[@mftoutdoors7483]

I use to work for The Collection. Those rovers a nice , BUT parts are expensive and they k own it. I ended getting a Tahoe. Good luck

[@360VRStudios]

Rubber band of a tire will most likely crack a wheel over any hard bumps. More meaty tires for trucks.

[@jasonogilvie3901]

Nice to see ya back in the keys!!!

[@ericdavi1231]

My favorite way to get mangroves is with a speargun. I used JB weld to plug a hole in my coolant jug on my truck. Lasted for 6 months before I got around to replacing the jug with a new one... As for the rims, just find someone selling their stock rims and tires on Craigslist. It will ride smoother and you won’t crack anymore rims.

[@richyshepherd8662]

That was some serious nose burn!

[@garyparsons-x9l]

I really enjoy your catch and cook method. I have been travelling to the keys since before you were born likely, lol. In any case I would like to meet you when I am there. How can I do that

[@danielb9027]

Nice edit, like the calm music in between

[@BroadBillHunter]

how many miles offshore

[@anthonymurphy2345]

Could you talk about the boat that you were in , looks like an bay boat.

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

Should think about a Double Snell Snapper Rig... Works amazing for Mangroves and others like it. Use a Sardine or Ballyhoo plug. Great Vid Heiko.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

thanks for the tip!

[@donross93]

Great to see you on the water Bud. Nice raccoon tan! lol!

[@anthonynassaur5554]

How was the water bottle float attached to the BallyHoop?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

with some fishing line

[@AthinaHuntingTours]

Hey bud. Good to see you out there catching fish again in the keys.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Feels good! Hope your leg heals up soon and we can go fish & hunt!

[@AthinaHuntingTours]

I’m getting there. Able to hobble about now and get around the house. We will be back on that mountain soon for sure!! Now, go catch me a Cobia so I can send you the lemon butter sauce recipe and my special mash potato!!! 😉🍻🍻

Awesome 😎 Mangrove Snapper love ❤️ the Grunt Sashimi 🤙😎👌🏻

[@kerryhennessy169]

Bro, don’t eat that chub lol. Nice snapper. That yellow Jack is fire sashimi. Cutting on glass or tile is why you’re knives are dull 👍🏻 keep on catching

Beautiful water and nice looking fish

About how far offshore are you guys fishing? Great video man!

Not far, right off the reefs edge

Conventional rig with a half ounce above the swivel and then at least six feet of monofilament to a 2/0 hook. Knockers rig and the jigs were just getting the small Grunts and yellow tails.

[@eriklarson9137]

Although I was literally yelling at you when you said 62 was cold, I love what you are doing, and what you are about. :) Keep killing the game man. If you come to Peoria Il, I'll take you Asian Carp hunting. Yes hunting. Google it if you are unfamiliar. It's a riot! :)

Some good eating fish there....started eating big blue runners sashimi a few years ago, really good, make sure you bleed em right away...never tried a chub though...I'd love to get a 62 degree day about now

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Interesting about the blue runner. I MAY have to try that =)

[@bradcondon6632]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel just make sure you bleed real well, i assume you know how...didnt see you bleeding any in this vid....i bleed everything...when you do the runner, dont eat on the boat, get it real cold in the ice before yoy fillet it, take your time and do it right...those yellow jacks are also good raw, watch for worms on the big ones though
