I really enjoyed the catch and cooks you used to do. Bring them back please.

[@gwrulzmylife]

We need more "how to" get from launch to the reefs - love seeing these types of videos when you launch and talk about the water conditions. A+

[@kenbobca]

I like videos like this where you're fishing for fun.

[@colindavidson6483]

Man that water looks so much cleaner and smoother than 3 weeks ago after Nicole when I was fishing that bridge.

[@antwainstanley5315]

Enjoy your channel a lot need more catch clean and cook of snappers

[@jmack56]

Man I miss the deep water fishing you used to do

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Awesome rod bending day Steve. Big blue needs a nice spray down and wash, lol. She's a fishing machine. 🌊 🎣 😎

[@muskietime]

First Key West Kayak Video I have watched. Highly informative and very entertaining. I liked how you reinforced the importance of “moving on” if the Drift is not right. Very impressed with your bait finding and casting net throwing skills. I checked out your Store Website. Crazy great pricing! Definitely ordering a bunch for an upcoming Florida Keys Fishing Trip.

[@Meditation409]

Catch n cooks are always a wonderful thing!! Gives me cooking ideas and always something different to try out 😀

[@BigDipper79]

I’m very envious of this right now 😂

[@dongkhaora]

Awesome fishing brother

[@walleyechannel]

I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I am returning to the Keys for the second time last of March. My first time we took a guide trip and only caught redfish. I wanted Tarpon. This trip I am towing my 14’ Piranha skiff from Tennessee and I am looking to get my first Tarpon. Can I fish the bridges with success last week of March or am I wasting my time?

[@kevinwunderlich6039]

Oh yeah! This is the type of video that gets the day going! Nice!

[@mauart.7893]

King of "master baiter", got me.

[@ericanderson4548]

Great video! If you had to guess, would that area where the canal gets deeper be a decent spot to catch shark - specifically bulls?

[@TuckerWinhamFishing]

Anywhere around that bridge is a good spot. Way too many sharks there

[@victoraxten3761]

Great video Steve thank you

Nice fishing amigo I like

[@dd214fishing]

Dude clean that thing 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dantodd]

Fred isn't decorated yet because they are filming the remake of Roadhouse and they want him undecorated for the film. Once filming wraps they will decorate him.

[@ozzie3056]

Was wondering why it wasn't decorated. I passed by last weekend

[@seewind]

Looking great. I will have my TI on Plantation Key in March....maybe we can meet up!

[@johndeaton7968]

Great knockers

[@FrankLadd]

Why don't you have a KWKF cooler deal with Igloo like Ben Gravy does? Thanks for another great video!

[@Soto24]

Gosh I wish I was out there with my key West flats boat right now

[@TheForastero8]

Excelente. Too bad we couldn't see that first mangrove. Anyway I keep encouraging you to catch a Snook and cook it. You never done that one or pompano.

[@SpruceSculptures]

Do you use or have you tried polarized filter for cams? Wonder if could see better into the H2O if so?

[@doittoday1]

Do have to register your kayak since your using a outboard?

[@pedalingthru2719]

Coming down next week . Do you know of any bully boat charters ?

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome, fun stuff dude

[@jonpflueger7214]

Steve, Do you snell the circle hooks?

[@chinsangs]

Hey I was looking to order some of the yellowtail jigs what colors do you recommend for this time of year?

[@cameroneagle4370]

so the knocker rig with live bait, what rig should i use with cut bait ????

[@micheal561]

Awesome vids.. new subscriber

[@cameroneagle4370]

great video , steve can you make a video on how you throw the 5ft cast net off the kayak , i need to learn your technique

[@johnmooney5223]

He’s has one on the channel

[@cameroneagle4370]

@@johnmooney5223 he does ? Are you positive?

[@johnmooney5223]

Well he has a detailed cast net instructional where he says this is the technique he uses while on the kayak. I use it and it’s very simple

[@bstevens2555]

what boat launch did you use?

[@cameroneagle4370]

fact , the end of the fishing pier on the old bridge , was the bridge they blew up in the movie True Lies , at the end when the limo falls off it ...

[@anthonyvespia6662]

They tagged a great white, a few years back, who had been cruising, doing his thing. Three Orca's showed up, and this shark was scared. He returned to that spot two years later. Thats how terrified they are of Killer Whales. Also I've seen live footage of a pod of Dolphins, corner a great white, and force him out into open ocean. They're all beautiful, especially when you watch them interact, or do what their mothers teach. Sharks arent taught anything. When they're born the mother leaves them, and their on their own. 🙏 🌊🦈

[@MrNoelito1980]

Congrats on your success but seems like you have been busier with All About the bait than the vids.. I miss the catch and cook vids you had way back in the days with lobsters and the mangrove snappers on the backyard barbecue that seemed just a little dangerous with the flames that got a bit out of control at times. Just saying this because I've been a subscriber for a while now, wish you nothing but the best, God Bless

[@MrLeo7210]

Thank you for posting even though the video isn't perfect

[@rand0mGT]

Fished any dead bodies?

[@omarbryant4803]

The bad part about your video is,,too much talking.

[@nasirnasir3962]

Less blah blah blah and more fishing

[@fishingsouthwestflorida1586]

Your finally fishing the ramp I always go to…..shhh! Haha I think people aren’t there cause god damn jobs!!
