“One of those days that I don’t have much of an agenda!” And that’s the dream right there!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its what I live for!

[@tonygville2969]

That's why I ponder on Wisdom 13:1-9, I see it all around me, but these videos take me back to growing up in the old Miami, and the wooden catwalk under Card Sound Bridge. Had to watch your step or get wet, and cut on the barnacles getting out. The Handy Work is EVERYWHERE ☝️✌️

[@aschaedy]

I’d be interested in a stubby for sheepies on rock piles. What’s it’s effective range for sheeps and smaller snapper?

[@driftless1870]

Right down to the hair. Amen.

Dude, you're like the Bob Ross of fishing.... calm personality and awesome videos. Loved it!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I take that as a compliment, was actually Mr. Ross for halloween 😂

[@406751]

Oh it was definitely a compliment! I love bob ross!!!

[@larrypresnall5360]

I came here to say the same thing but you beat me to it! I was waiting to hear him say, “just swimming amongst these happy little mangroves.”

[@TN75-USA]

Man, I spent 28 years on an assembly line and I'm watching this video building cars for GM . To me, you're the luckiest guy in the world

Another great video and thanks again for taking us along to your special place. You always break everything down how and why you are doing things and love that. Keep em coming and enjoying life as y'all do .

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear you enjoy them! happy to bring you along!

[@lawrencelyman3372]

I just want you to know, if you don't already, but you are one of the last of a dying tradition in Florida. My family are the Robert's, Ala "florida" Robert's, and Ed Roberts. You are carrying on practices and living in a way that, though they didn't have modern tech, they did, and I applaud you for it. I'm currently living vicariously through your videos, so many childhood memories unleashed. Thank you.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Really appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏻 glad you enjoy the videos!

[@margekaralis4212]

We love when you have no agenda. Usually means a trip to the mangroves. Love these

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha glad you enjoy them!

[@Pharm_NYC]

The simplistic approach - the beautiful backwater, the shallow water aquarium and the meal (sheepie) taken for one purpose which is dinner! I respect and appreciate how you share each experience. I've learned so much from you and for that I am grateful

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for the feedback!

[@crystalgaddy2985]

Loved seeing the years of undisturbed leaves under there. Thanks for showing us those places. Breath of fresh air you are.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I thought that was super cool. humbling.

[@Ray-161]

Exploring those mangroves is one of my favorite things to do. The peacefulness and fun of exploring these areas is one of the best parts of fishing the Keys.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it never gets old for me

[@markreynolds2351]

Love the mangrove swims and catch and cooks. Never gets old. It was 47F this afternoon in our slice of ocean.

haha made my life way easier getting on and off that thing! haha almost went in a couple times.

[@1banos]

It’s just an amazing pleasure to get into the water with you visually I mean. I can’t get enough of the pure beauty that the Keys hold. Thank you, Aaron for taking us along....

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear that, thanks so much!

[@Resiliencemikey]

Thanks Aaron, watching you has really become a relief for me. I love vicariously going out to dive and spear fish! I appreciated especially your early morning recording and allowing us to experience that waking feeling, as we stood on the balcony to see the beautiful horizon that the world dreams of experiencing. I gain a lot of knowledge from this channel 3, and feel like I have gained even more experience. I texted you about doing a one person add-on to a charter and he didn’t have any available space so while I’m on here, I would like to request that anyone reading this message that has a spearfishing charter if they’re open to another Spearo, I’d love to get on one in South Florida! John

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really love to hear that, thanks so much for the positive feedback keeps me going!

[@nonombre5409]

I appreciate you sharing your dives. I was born in Kingston Jamaica where I learned to dive before I was a teen. We moved to Miami Florida in 1970 where the fishery was like Key West. I continued diving and used rod and reel only to catch snook. I was 33 when hurricane Andrew struck Miami. I was on a motorcycle after Andrew made landfall and was hit by a car. I had a left foot transmettarsal amputation and skin got ripped off the top of the foot. I aslo got 6 screws in my lumbar where it is fused and stenosis in C 6- C-7. I was not able to dive any more because even with neopreme socks it kept taking off the skin graft. Thankful for your videos it brings back memories. In the 70's Miami fisheries was like Key West.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really love to hear you enjoy the videos, hate to hear about that accident! happy the videos help. thanks so much for tuning in 🙏

[@tommytsadventures]

Love the plank/rope set up to board your Ghee. Great idea. Sure beats climbing over the mangrove roots. Sheepshead is a great fish to eat. I used to catch them all the time off Lantana bridge using fiddler crabs.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha made my life so much easier when came up with it. almost fell in a few times and that was enough for me!

[@toofourwon2004]

Even the videos, where you don't have "a big agenda" are so beautiful and interesting. Love your videos and love how you narrate! Keep up the great work!

Love seeing the mangroves adventures. Especially when the sun beams down in columns. Amazing.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really is magical down there!

[@peterparsons7141]

Reminds me of following Brooks in the Wilderness of Newfoundland as a kid. It’s a funny thing because I always want to find the next pool, just around the bend, just one more pool. Having long since accepted that I was not home for supper, now the reality of stumbling back down in the dark.... ahhh good times. It never leaves you.

Thank you for the calm and creative approach to fishing .

[@ambersykora352]

Man if any of your viewers are into gardening I'd highly suggest going to scoop up and bring home as much of those leaves and broken down wood as possible and adding it to your compost pile and garden. Just saying. That's an insane amount of nutrients built up through that entire area, utilize it to grow super nutrient dense foods.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

we do a little bit of it on our own. its not something we show often!

[@_pawter]

A few days ago I met a bloke down under who does something like you on a far more modest scale as a fishing hobbyist. He had a very large Kayak on the roof of his van fitted with an electric motor he and a mate had shortened so he could sneak into the shallow estauries near here. He showed me his most expensive bit of equipment: a long wooden paddle. What he briefly described reminded me so much of the spirit of your mangrove videos. He was nearly twice your age and not an ounce of fat on him.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha thats too funny! thanks for sharing

Try your next sheepshead grilled on the half shell. One of the better ways to eat sheepshead. Just basted on some homemade garlic butter while cooking on the grill skin down about 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the filet. Salt & pepper to taste with a splash of fresh lemon juice at the end of the cooking process. Simple but delicious.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I believe it! nice thick scales have done alot of fish like that. will def give it a try! thanks so much

[@Kezmo]

Phenomenal video! Thanks for sharing! And sheepshead is delicious! We used to live near Naples/Ft. Myers and we'd be stoked if we caught a sheepshead big enough to keep as we knew dinner was going to be great! I believe it's in the porgy family. And some folks will tell you that the porgy is the lobster of fish. My kids love it more than snapper, grouper, or any other fish we catch when we go down there a couple of times per year.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

glad you enjoyed it! they def are great, we've eaten them pretty much my entire life. never get old!

Take the Gheenoe offshore and catch some Mahi or Tuna. That would be epic. A friend of mine let me take his 16ft Hewes out of stock island.

[@drumbum9963]

I've been fishing all my life, I'd say I'm pretty used to the feeling when taking a fish. But for some reason, it hit me the way that first sheepshead came out like it had never seen people before. A part of me wished it had stayed that way. Though, if anybody were to take it, I'm glad it was you Mr. Waterman.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I've let countless fish swim for that reason, although I hunt constantly I have a big soft spot for animals. I know exactly what you mean. its a harsh world we live in. I try to make it as humane as possible if thats even the word for it. thanks so much for tuning in

We call them "bay snapper", well at least some do, here in Louisiana. Many turn their noses up at them, but they really are one of the best eating fish there is to be had. When my girls were little we used to go tie up to some spots in knew and fish them with dead shrimp on the bottom and fill the ice chest -great fun and a hard fighting fish!

Livin my dream through much of your work, thank you. Currently Looking forward to harvesting recreationally only... "poor man's grouper" AKA sheep head hoping for a good season here at my hometown, St Pete side of Tampa Bay, my struggling estuary, is not what it once was, but it is possibly repairable. It saddens me at 64 looking back at what was. then I think how bout my dad who fished in the late 30s in this bay, spearing Redfish & soap fish via row boat with a lantern. I have passed the tourch to my 4 boys and hope they follow through with the hunt. Peace Jimmy
