In this video:
We run out of Adams cut through the state park John Pennekamp. This is all protected reef so there is no spearfishing allowed. But they allow you to catch lobster and fish with hook and line.
We start off our fishing trip by anchoring in some 10-15ft patch reefs and start to freedive for lobster. I love lobster. They are my favorite eating thing ever. So this better be an epic catch an cook. Because we will catch some lobster!
The FWC stopped us. We had no lobster in the boat at the time. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission works hard to make sure no illegal fish are taken. I respect all the work that Florida Wildlife Control does to ensure there are fish for everyone to catch!
We catch lobster and then move to a different part of the patch reefs here in Key Largo and start to chum for mutton snapper. We catch live ballyhoo and use them for bait. It doesn't take long before the mutton snapper start biting. This is great and this is how to catch mutton snapper in south florida!
We fill the boat with mutton snapper and even some yellowtail snapper. We call it a day and drive back to Dans home. The next day we visit the dolphins and then have a lobster grill back at Dans house. We cook the lobster on the grill and they taste amazing!

[@averagenative]

I've been going through all your old videos, love the content! I'm super stoked to see part 2 for your friend's boat! Also Dan seems like a good fishing partner!

[@akeeperoftheword]

You guys fish great together and the cook out in the end was the cherry on top. keep up the good work and the good fishing!

[@djjohnson9389]

i always love getting the chance to go down to the keys and get in some saltwater fishing. Love the fights that muttons provide. fishing up here in the midwest is fun but something about going down south and getting in some good time on the water always gets me giddy.

[@TheKnowledgeAge]

After a bad day of fishing with bad weather in sanabel ft. myers, this was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks brotha

[@eddyballester8990]

Great show! My son and I enjoy watching your show very much and are looking forward to viewing your next episode

[@Ramakan]

Beautiful video! You guys are truly living my dream life!!! God bless you all and be safe out there!!!

[@dc5ftw06]

Looked like a good time out. Happy fishing always.

[@nikolaibullcry]

We got boarded by those same two gentlemen a couple weeks ago. They are very thorough and a necessity in preserving the fisheries.

[@attiumeyami417]

Ahhhh cant wait for mini season!!!!! It feels like the purge but for lobster

[@miltonbaker4821]

dan is good people, its great when he guests the vids. keep up the good work bro.

[@griffansayre7640]

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

[@barryherndon9008]

Man that is so cool. Rock on brother and be safe out there.

[@funkyboer]

Great video, also love the fact that Dan is doing more videos. Twice the content to watch!

[@vampire1111pitbull]

When I was a kid. We would have no problem finding huge lobsters where you are everywhere. Seeing you having such a difficult time finding even one big enough to eat showed me what a big problem over fishing has caused.

[@mrsuarez430]

Good team work on the orange coral boulder ! got that searoach

[@fishfinder4]

Great video as always! Dan rocks!

[@WesLovelace]

Buggs & Muttons......Looks like someone is gonna bee Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood!!

[@zippytheoldhippy8418]

Bud light clamato.....my invention!!!! I never patent it, but i mixed clamato juice way before budlight did. You got good taste my friend. Shout out to capt. Dan

[@allanreager3306]

Should try using a small conventional, penn fathom 12 is almost baitcaster size, but you can crank them in instead of pump so you don't get rocked. Ps favorite fishing channel on KZbin right now man keep it up!

[@rigo8874]

[@hennys9314]

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

[@carlosvalladares1429]

Another quality vid. Great day on the water

[@chillynose8795]

I was in class and my phone buzzed so my teacher asked what was that and I told her it’s just the south Florida fishing channel

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

that's epic man

[@fishassassin2670]

same thing happened to me 😂

[@LivinSalty]

this is such a great vid! u got urself a new subscriber!!

[@watertothepeople]

Oh man what a great day of fishing and an amazing video..that ending with the melted butter on the lobster though, perfect!! Butter bei die Fische! Haha.. Hope one day I travel to South Florida, maybe catch some fish and empty some coronas with you. Prost!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

cheers!

[@mikewehner2858]

I don’t normally comment but your one of the most enjoyable channels to watch. I have fished out of Tavernier now for about 10 years but still love your videos. All out great job. You need some “south Florida fishing channel” gear!! ( if I’m not ignorant and don’t know you already have some)

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I do need some gear! I want to get some nice UV protected shirts made but don't know a good supplier yet.

[@lewandlo]

I would save all mu guts and skins after cleaning your fish . Get an old meat grinder and grind it up and freeze it instead of buying it all the time.. Great video I`d some day love to fish in the keys, Now that would be a bucket list item.Cheers from Canada.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Cheers! I have a lot of Canadian friends. Yall are a great bunch

[@RichieLott]

Nice! Fun fun fun.. WIND GO AWAY!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

yea right! This wind sucks!

[@redsholsters3544]

Man I'm heading out tomorrow. I hope it's not too queasy out there

[@wernersmit6197]

Dan's the man

[@MrPaulDalton]

I was just getting worried about you. And I literally live that mile marker 106 I was your neighbor that storm took me to Los Angeles I'll be here for a minute hopefully returning one day soon keep on fishing brother do you really think I got the feel the action!

[@SaltyTales]

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Going to the Islamorada sandbar today. Man life is good here in the keys

[@MrMrcarlos1991]

Love your videos brother. I have a key west 21 footer do you where can i throw my boat in islamorada, a good ramp? Thanks

[@mikelyons7511]

Welcome to the Box.👍

[@Silk3yJohnson]

Have you ever thought about using a baitrunner for your live bait fishing? Makes for a much easier catch giving you the opportunity to let the fish run and eat the bait before they feel any tension.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yea I may have to pick one up one day

[@catmastercatfishing7436]

Look great 👍

[@miamifamily4]

Hey we are headed to Key Largo April 1st. Can you let us know where this was at for snappers?

[@chuckhenry407]

Great video Trying to watch them all. Hey what make, feet and year is Dans boat. Id like to get something like that? I already know that yours is discontinued. But also a nice boat to have.

[@MrMrcarlos1991]

Love your videos brother. I have a key west 21 footer do you where can i throw my boat in islamorada. Thanks

[@evansmith2958]

[@sauldiaz5988]

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

[@BD-lf3im]

[@aweezali5309]

I love your channel.. and it's funny Cox you fuck up a lot🤣🤣. Still best channel ever keep up the fishing and keep rocking heiko😊

[@ChopperOutdoors]

Hey man love the channel I am really learning a lot being new to saltwater fishing (been diving forever). I have a question.. I was out a couple weeks ago in Key Largo in about 25ft of water and the chubs were eating a majority of the chum that would come out of the bag. Is there a way to get rid of them?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

If I run into that problem sometimes i'll just move spots. I've jumped in the water and tried spearing them but it didn't stop them lol

[@Jaffeneq]

Heiko, need some quick advice. New subscriber and have already binged all your videos. I’m a new saltwater fisherman and am looking to get some new gear. I fish at the channel 5 pier and am looking for your suggestion for a rod and reel for my wife. She is brand new to fishing and don’t want to scare her. What would you recommend?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

for a pier I would def get a nice medium action rod. Maybe this 8ft one: amzn.to/2FUM0Bt or the same reel but on the 7ft rod.

[@yevgeniyfureyster3502]

I am so jelous, that's like heaven

[@SmeegleLove]

[@keithm6324]

Why dont you guys use heavier tackle when youre in those big boys?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

We love the light tackle battles

[@SECfanxbulldawgsx]

Could you make a vid using live squid or do you already have one

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

First i'de have to catch a live squid lol. Hmmm

[@SECfanxbulldawgsx]

They don’t sell any at any of the tackle shops? It’d be interesting to see you catch them to be honest

[@soflo_justin934]

Hay is that a public dock because I am combing down to the keys next week and all the docks I know of u have to pay to dock if so is there like a name or an address for the dock

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

John Pennekamp has a real nice boat ramp. I think it's like $10 or something.

[@billsmith-rq7ki]

Heiko, I would follow back to florida fishing couple but google didn't work, post his channel if you get the chance...great video.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Just type Florida Fishing Couple into youtube search and they will pop up first =)
