How to Deep Drop for Snowy's, Barrel Fish, Etc... Day 2 Mustad Camp

Here is part one of day two on how to deep drop for snowy grouper, tile fish, barrel fish and more. Day two aboard the Two Conch's 39 foot Yellowfin. We start off by running and gunning, targeting mahi on the way to the humps. We deployed and trolled CJ squids around 7-8 knots on large spinning gear. The technique is quite simple, look for small packs of birds three to six birds and troll in the vicinity. The large bird packs are usually a sign of skip jacks, so we steered clear of them. We only managed a few chicken dolphin but that was okay. Once we arrived in 1000 plus feet of water, it was time to bust out the large electric reels and the 10lb lead. The rig of choice was a pre-rigged chicken rig with glow squids on each hook. At the top Capt. Austin attached two green glow lights to give off ambient light and to shine light on the baits, when you are 1000 feet deep it’s black as all get out. We rigged each hook with whole squid that had recently been thawed. It took a few minutes to get down to the ocean floor, once it did, we just slowly let out line and waited to see the rod tip twitch, after that we quickly engaged the reel and up came the groceries. I will admit, it’s not the most exhilarating way to fish but it will allow you to bring home some delicious fillets for the freezer. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share and subscribe.

[@andyk5316]

Wow this guy don't want his fancy boat dirty! He tied off and clipped a piece of 200lb leader right into the water!

[@mr.r5669]

Nothing better than seeing people cut line back into the ocean

[@thomastodd8521]

Looks like a nice day!

[@Saltyscales]

Very good day

[@bigo8192]

Cool video, i have never seen anything like that. Thanks for sharing!

[@Saltyscales]

First time for me also, except for on tv.

[@Jqbigrig]

Salty Scales you've been on TV!

[@texfx4405]

That looks so freakin awesome! 👍🏻

[@Saltyscales]

It was cool but I am not much into the electric reels.

[@texfx4405]

Yeah, hear ya. I thought the same thing about the reels, but I'd still like to try it! 👍🏻

[@davidpazynski2112]

Great video!!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks David

[@adw4464]

Awesome bro !!!

[@salvadorcisneros]

What up Josh let's catch some big mustad. ... fish on my brotha

[@jameslow5534]

Man oh man that looks like a blast bud love to be there bud

[@Saltyscales]

It was a great experience for sure.

[@allaboutfishing1699]

Don't know if using an electric reel is really fishing but I appreciate at those depths winding up would take forever. How about a shout out to us in the UK Who watch you. Keep up the good work Josh. I particularly like your knot tutorials

[@stephanieguindon7872]

It sure is beautiful out there! Thank you for the information, I learned alot!

[@Saltyscales]

Yes indeed, glad you are learning. ;)

[@jerzydaineguy5171]

Joshua Taylor hey where is the second part of the video? All I have found is the first day? Looking for the tuna fishing etc. Nice vid, just can't seem to find the 2nd half of day 2! ty

[@baylonaj]

We reel 300' of copper line and lead core on the great lakes all day long. It's good exercise.

[@Saltyscales]

You are not lying.

[@spencerburgin5877]

So cool

[@LITHIUMINWATER]

Dont throw yout line ends to the ocean.. they're gonna stay there for good

[@Saltyscales]

I don't the captain of his boat did. That does not mean I agree with it.

[@adammalone7196]

When you guys were deep dropping and catching the grouper , were you at the humps or another location ?

[@ajs8481]

Those electric reels are crazy ! What size fish does it take to stop those from reeling automatically josh ?

[@Saltyscales]

Honestly I'm not sure, that is my first time using one but it handled everything we caught like a champ. Doesn't sound great however.

[@gavinargabright4487]

Great job again sir

[@gulp_man1026]

Awesome

[@whip31lash]

Just bought a tanacom 1000...cant find instructional video anywhere. Fishing electramates and kristals my whole life. Lots of bells and whistles on this thing...any advice

[@jontaviouslett1843]

Keep up the great work!

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you!

[@theodorefreeman3173]

I snagged a deep drop reel and detachable motor off the bottom of the snake river a few years ago looked like new. Someone screwed up and i am guessing a big sturgan took it away from them.

[@Saltyscales]

Was it still in working order? If so, that is a hell of a catch.

[@theodorefreeman3173]

Joshua Taylor yes it works had to put a new cord end on it. But have never used it i hope to this winter on the gulf.

[@Jqbigrig]

Holy 8 pound sinker batman!!!!

[@Saltyscales]

+Johnny Que it's no joke lol

[@CoastalKillersTV]

I heard you mention 700ft, is that your best depth for Snowy's? Im at the northern range of them and trying to learn more. what is your favorite depth for them?

[@Saltyscales]

700 to 900 is a great depth.

[@CoastalKillersTV]

Thanks! Going to try to find a few off Virginia this year, I know they are here.

[@dinoharrison5138]

Capt. Joshua, I hope you know me well enough by now that I don't criticize people, but DUDE, your talking to a northern boy here who has not heard of these fish (or at least of their nic-names) so when you are talking to the capt. and he is rattling off what you may catch, it goes right over my head. (I hear the comments coming back already - lol) Looks like a LOT of fun though. Gad you guys are having a great time!!! Can't wait for the next installment! God Bless guys!

[@Jqbigrig]

Dino Harrison sounds like someone needs to take you fishing !! #saltyscales

[@Saltyscales]

Well these species aren't all that common, so I can't really fault you for not knowing about them. At least now you can say you have seen or heard about them.

[@bgeorges1]

Did I just see the captain cut the tag end into the water?

[@Saltyscales]

Unfortunately yes, not something we approve of.

[@HolyPlague1]

Dude that was great! What was that first fish? Loud but fun.

[@Saltyscales]

+C.P Bagley Snowie and barrel fish.

[@hectorlucena1285]

Looks like a really fun time but I don't know how I feel about those reels

[@Saltyscales]

+Hector Lucena Not my preferred way of fishing but man it would be impossible any other way. It takes five minutes to hit the bottom with an 8lb weight lol.

[@Jqbigrig]

Definitely a very unique way of fishing :-)

[@thetriplehobbiest1072]

@@Saltyscales in no way impossible people are just lazy

[@Saltyscales]

@@thetriplehobbiest1072 I'd love to watch you catch fish at that depth manually. See how lazy you are.

[@yellowfin6183]

Where do you get those trolling lures

[@cheito72588]

hey, Josh that electric reel takes all the fun out of fighting the fish. keep the vids up!

[@Saltyscales]

I agree but it would not be fun reeling those things up from 1000 feet. It takes five minutes for an 8lb lead to hit the bottom lol.

[@cheito72588]

lol that's crazy

[@curseon60fps76]

Yeah☺

[@oj6842]

If the breakaway is 80 pound? What pound test is the braid?

[@Saltyscales]

The sinker is 8lbs and the main line was 200 I believe.

[@MsChelseeee]

What kind of battery did you use

[@antgfisher8874]

Great

[@ktaylor501]

This is a learning video for sure for me! Very interesting! Fishing for fish I never heard of. I've never heard of electric reeling either. That's cheating

[@jerrysaldivar1273]

Wow

[@FishHD]

whats is the name & model of the rod ?

[@BuckRaeder]

I like the Two Conch's crew and the media they put out but c'mon Captain.... Clip the lines inside the boat.

[@Saltyscales]

I agree

[@greygraham5361]

Yeah was thinking to same thing

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Where is part 2?

[@froggleggers1805]

How much does a trip like this cost for one person?

[@Saltyscales]

I believe it's $1500 for the camp, give Jack a call and tell him Josh with Salty Scales sent you.

[@froggleggers1805]

thanks!

[@golfcourseshaping1]

The first release on the undersized dolphin was a bit abusive, how well would the deckhand do if a hook ripped through his lips like that?

[@Saltyscales]

You'll get over it cup cake.

[@smokajoint808]

Good job cutting the extra line over board back to the ocean. Take care of the ocean or don’t fish in it smh.

[@borismartinez6475]

Exactly what I was going to tell him.

[@rob_3308]

why do u clip ur line into the water

[@Saltyscales]

Rob _ I don't, the captain of this boat did.

[@joshuataylor7276]

We got the same name

[@Saltyscales]

Good name!

[@jairalt]

Why didn't you just release the spool rather than lowering the drag to drop the line?

[@Saltyscales]

Adding slight tension prevents the spool from turning too quickly, stopping birds nest

[@sototajer7744]

Dude, don't throw plastic in the sea!

[@Saltyscales]

I didn't, they did sadly.

[@curseon60fps76]

Hey josh its me ur nephew Nate remember me plz reply

[@Saltyscales]

Of course I remember you, how have you been little buddy?

[@ktaylor501]

Furiousgamer skull are you on face book? I miss you. This is your Grammy, You have gotten so big send me a link to you please and thank you

[@curseon60fps76]

Good i thought it was was cool that we were both on youtube. I only have a few subs though

[@Saltyscales]

Keep working at it, be consistent and they will come.

[@outoorlover9771]

The reel was crying in pain... Good video though

[@i2aspire]

Man that reel was making some noise

[@Saltyscales]

You're not lying.

[@Abeinthesky]

At 5:58. I like the video but please, do not throw small pieces of nylon to the ocean, it will be floating around for years. I've been fishing for 25 years and allways got that small pieces into a bag (rubish). cheers

[@Saltyscales]

I agree and don't condone such practices. This was a Two conchs boat down in the keys.

[@sebastiaomaciel6414]

Traduzir em português

[@beanieweenie9543]

I guarantee atleast 90 percent if not more of the people squawking about the electric reels have never reeled anything up 500ft plus.

[@Saltyscales]

You'd be correct. I'd bet most middle-aged individuals couldn't do it period.

[@michaelkennedy699]

What I don't like is that you cut mono over the edge of boat and let it fall into the ocean like it will just disappear. Cut it and toss in a trash bucket inside your boat then dispose of properly!

[@Saltyscales]

This is not our boat, it's Two Conchs boat. We don't like it either but you are preaching to the wrong folks. 👍

[@derekbeall5073]

watched up until he cuts his line tag off in the water. to be a guide or captain of a fishing boat you have to be a conservationists. dude has no business being out there. hate to see what else he throws into the water...

[@Saltyscales]

I don't disagree, would never do that on my boat and I didn't like it either.

[@blakenitta8849]

littering the ocean , thumbs down

[@Saltyscales]

Agree, it's a douche move

[@nyuak52]

Just one small grouper lol. I can do better with spinning reel.

[@Saltyscales]

But yet you're on KZbin typing about what you can do?
