I Threw THIS 3 Miles OFFSHORE to Catch the One Fish EVERYONE Wants!!

I took my kayak 3 miles offshore to catch the tastiest fish in the Gulf of Mexico! In this episode I head out to Navarre Florida to go kayak fishing offshore for red snapper and Mahi Mahi. We were able to quickly get on a massive school and ended up putting several tasty fish in the kayak!

I did not know Peach salsa was a thing I'll have to get some

[@southernsalt]

Good stuff!

[@stansmith7118]

Great day in the water man.

[@southernsalt]

Man it was one to remember for sure!

[@L0st-n0found]

I've never seen a mahi less than a couple feet. Those are what 3 months old. They don't look over 20"min either. Tiny, tiny, tiny things

[@southernsalt]

🤦🏻‍♂️ say you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what your talking about

[@L0st-n0found]

​​ @southernsalt takes about 3 months for mahi to get to 14 to 16 inches. Here 20inch in min size (edit I see Gulf has no minimum... Shame but ok.) I've never seen one less than maybe 2.5 feet but then I don't target much. I skipped some though when I posted am around the 7:22 mark of vid. If we presume that's a 5" yozuri or similar the fish looks no longer than 3x length or 15"

[@cnd74]

How do I book a fishing trip with you I can’t find the links anymore

[@southernsalt]

Shoot me a message on Facebook

Dolphin are the fastest growing fish on earth.

Those are excellent but try it with whiting. So good it's gotta be a sin

[@austinhowes7080]

Dude you’re videos and your reactions when you hammer a fish is freaking awesome I smile to myself everytime you yell stud! 😂😂

[@southernsalt]

Heck yeah mission accomplished lol

[@homeby5]

WTH is wrong with you? Keeping those little babies😢. But is worse is the idiotic comments propping this dude up...

[@southernsalt]

🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂 move along dude

[@Hammer_Fishing]

Nice video, we recently took our kayaks up to Canada for a fishing trip. Nothing better than fishing out of a kayak!

[@southernsalt]

Man that sounds awesome!!

[@David-vo8zf]

Good day fishing with 2 types of fish limit for day.👍

[@mritolduso7355]

Nate, you’re a braver man than me pulling those green fish into your kayak with all those travel hooks! Nice video, keep them coming!

[@southernsalt]

Lol I was a little worried lol had a few close calls

[@bryonrickard4617]

Great vid. Wanting to out there but am Leary of going alone. But Soon!

[@southernsalt]

Yeah never go alone, I have a bit of experience out there and I still never go alone

[@willieashburn]

That was awesome! Thanks for the video. What is your setup?

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man! I’m using a Daiwa Coastal rod with a Shimano Stradic 5000 with 40 pound braid

[@kenp247]

Looks like you had a fun day on the water. Be safe and thanks for keeping the videos coming. Also, the fish 🌮 looks delicious.. .

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌 thanks brother!!

[@wheepingwillow24u17]

LOOKS GOOD, BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FISH TO GO ON 4 TACO'S LOL, HECK I'D BE USING ALL OF THAT ON 1 LOL LOL

[@southernsalt]

😂 it’s a taco not a burrito lol jk man

[@jaysonclayton9294]

Man those mahi were small!

[@carlogambotto2553]

Are those pompano dolphinfish or common dolphinfish

[@southernsalt]

No clue lol we call the chicken dolphin

[@vincentrussell7246]

Got to give you your prompts u always catch fish and eatable fish at that and you do some good catch and cooks with good tasty recipes keep them videos coming

[@clydedobuon3494]

little chick dolphin

[@ThomasShue]

Why keep those baby fish?

[@southernsalt]

Because they taste good

[@westfallframing7896]

I tried your cilantro and sour cream sauce and it was a hit with my fish tacos! It's a great way to keep cilantro around seeing as it rots away so fast. I had to have Tilapia from Publix due to the fact that I have been working WAY too much. In fact, my fishing Kayaks are sitting in my shop covered in dust! What a shame! It's been soooo dang hot in Tallahassee. I'm sure that you must get up around 3 or 4 am to get out there before it gets too hot. I saw you fishing that tournament and wondered how you could be out there all day long.

[@southernsalt]

It’s tough lol. Yeah my typical day starts at 3:30.

Why a jetski and not a kayak?

[@dan-o9746]

Awesome day with a double limit! A charter Capt. showed me a technique when in a bunch of Mahi schoolies. Hook a small one in the back and free line it below the school. He hooked a huge bull head.

[@southernsalt]

Right on!!

[@JustTheLip]

That's amazing man! What day was this?

[@southernsalt]

Last week

[@David-vo8zf]

Nice water in the morning.

[@southernsalt]

Good luck out there

Dammitman, that was an awesome video!! Especially the fish tacos 🌮 😋 keep the catch and cooks coming!!😊

[@podocrypto6072]

A bunch of chicks.

[@southernsalt]

Some tasty chicks too lol

[@mikemoore1687]

You know that's good food when his initial reaction after the first bite is a fist pump hahaha

[@southernsalt]

Oh yeah them little chicken Mahi are delicious

[@centralfloridafisherman9931]

Great video awesome job on catching and cooking. 👍🏼

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thank you!

[@ETuss713]

I believe the best bait for a bull is the shiny belly cut off those little chicken dorados.

[@southernsalt]

Never tried that!

[@brandondukes3379]

What a freaking day man. An absolute slaying and delicious food to end the day.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌 man it was killer out there!!

[@trevorbesse8159]

Dude, take me with you! Badass vid. Keep it up brother man!

[@southernsalt]

🙌 🙌

[@coastalcarolinaliving]

Crazy yall get Mahi that close to shore lol

[@southernsalt]

Yeah they catch them off the piers around here from time to time

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I guess that's the only way to get offshore from Navarre without having to take a boat all the way to Pensacola or Destin pass. Might have to give that a try.

[@southernsalt]

Yeah pretty much. It’s a heck of run for a boat and at that rate the boats might as well run further offshore vs down the coast to Navarre

[@Steve-ev6vx]

@@southernsalt Yeah it's not a normal run except during cobia season, then everyone is running the bars lol

[@ReelNewwt]

I've also heard dolphin are one of/the fastest growing fish in the ocean

[@southernsalt]

Good deal brother!

[@jeremysilcox9362]

Also, we almost never get the mahi like they have in south Florida, so it isn't fair to compare them to those big bulls down there.

[@southernsalt]

There are some good ones caught from time to time around the reefs. I guided a client a few weeks back that caught a 27” which is not giant but still a very good fish

[@Steve-ev6vx]

We get the big ones, but you usually have to go offshore and fine blue water to get them. My biggest is maybe 15 pounds caught around the edge while grouper fishing, but I have seen boats come in from the rigs tuna and swordfishing with some giants. Seen some huge dolphin weighed in at tournament on the Gulf coast too. The people complaining are ridiculous though. It's legal, so they need to shut up about it.

[@SOGOnic]

Awe looking tacos my man. Congrats on the limit

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother!!

[@_Lt__Dan_]

Why the 120 over the 136?

[@southernsalt]

Really just comes down to weight and it already fitting on my trailer without any modifications

[@_Lt__Dan_]

@@southernsalt stability still pretty good?

[@IvanMano3486]

was at the pier and seen some people on kayaks turn out it was you !

[@southernsalt]

Awesome man, it sounded like there were some good fish caught off the pier on this day.

[@mikeallen2523]

that bonita will fine , bleed it cut in stakes and cook like a stake

I’ve eaten them before

Intense when you hook into a big one lol. Cool to see. One of these days!
