Dead low tide means time to go find a channel and switch to a jighead and your favorite soft bait if the fish are not up on the flats, Work the bottom of the channel and the sides. Certain times fish will hold to one side of a channel better so work both sides.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Appreciate the tip!

[@drewfabio6258]

Hey Aaron I am orignially from Belize and currently abroad in college. I can't express how relaxing and the joy your videos bring to me especially after a rough day. Brings back all those memories of fishing when I go back to visit.

[@matthewhelsel732]

Aaron, what are your thoughts on the 1 day lobster mini mini season on the 14th?? Do you think it will have negative effects on the population, or do you think the lobster population is doing fine?

[@jamesstantonjr.6553]

Perfect time for a Mirrodine twitch bait. Just saying .

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Probably would have eaten anything at that point!

Great idea. I need to try this on the treadmill

[@Wetheppl87]

I work on ice makers for a living, and I fish a lot. I think this ice maker would fit you well. It’s not the cheapest but it’s great fishing ice and it’s a reliable machine. Hoshizaki KM-231BAJ

Dam man i was staying in key largo for a week on vacation and I have this little 13 skiff and I bought it a 25hp yamaha brand speaking new I brought it to the hotel and was going out inshore and fishing in channels and what not and the rain wasn't to bad it was on and of with a lite sprinkle so I took my mom out we started fishing not even 3 fish in I see a huge storm brewing up we were tucked in the mangs and my mom was like its fine its fine next thing you know the thunder to lighting ratio starts getting closer and closer and I told my mom we need to gtfo of here asap😆😆we head back to the hotel and we dam near almost missed the storm we got to the dock and I tie up in the rain and I tied it at the cleat in the back and the actual hull grab on and I "thought" she wasn't going any we went back in the room showerd and grabbed a coffee and I go to check up on the boat in the storm and b4 I knew it she was capsized so just saying don't under estimate mother nature🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ and be extra carful😉😉

[@SD-ft6gs]

I love how you both ignore the massive shark that only turns around at the last minute almost at the boat, at 07:17

[@carpy949]

I saw it

[@Sticky.Situation]

“It will taste terrible because you caught it!” Too funny! Another really fun episode Aaron and I thank you so much!

[@jayjohnson9668]

With that dead low tide I would be throwing a bucktail or jig or something thats gonna be on the bottom. Top water at dead low tide is usually not productive. Just saying…..but what do I know?!😎

Ice machine is a great idea. From what you said that an "extra" 40~60 a week which would pay for the machine. 🤔😉

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha right!

[@JardelAzevedo-fv2mx]

Bought one 6 years ago. Was spending between $20 and $30 make sense if use a lot. Cost average $200 a month between water and electric. Good thing is you get more ice for your money. Break my heart when I have to buy a 3.99 bag and lest 20 min

[@jake9705]

Anybody hiring down there in Florida? I'm born and raised Huntington Beach, California and the saltwater fishing in SoCal is not nearly as good as social media makes it seem. Down on my luck and trying to move out of this crappy state. But need a place with good jobs, cheap housing, and lots of hunting and fishing options 🤷‍♂️

[@carlgruver695]

No. Cheap housing in south Florida the keys are even worse. But you might check to see if the fishing boats in Esmeralda key is hiring

No i saw it, just didn’t acknowledge it.

[@fungus4758]

"Throw it in upside down so it swims close to the surface" I'm going to use that line 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've eaten barracudas 25 pounds and they are great tasting. I only eat a small portion (that fits in the palm of my hand) and wait 5 hours. If all's good, I finish up. Sennets are also good eating, it's related to the barracuda family and usually travel in schools and resemble the barracuda. I've been to many iCast shows and learned they make lures to catch fishermen, not necessarily fish 😂 Low dark clouds, temperature drops and winds = disturbance and I'm outta there. For your ice issue, I freeze bottles of water and use the saltwater to keep the fish chilled. Fresh water (melted ice) not good for the meat. When I'm done, I freeze them again. No money wasted on ice. I use a product called M-Y Wedge on my boat. It takes the strain off the engines and transom. I also use them when I trailer my boat. You can easily search it and find them. I don't comment much but enjoy your vids nonetheless. Cheers mon 🤙

[@TheDadFaxs]

At the beginning of this video you had diarrhea of the mouth. Because of all that s*** talking you did to Will. Lmfao 😂😂😂you definitely can tell your good friends. Because bro's will be bro's.

Idk if you’ll read this but can you do a quick gear read out at the top of your videos? Like what pound test, lure configuration, what rod/reel size your running ? Just like you did at the start of the video. It’s good to know what you’re fishing. Cheers.

[@dpetersontube]

Constructive criticism - depending on what video editor you use, many of them have a filter call Lens Distortion or Correction and it will almost completely level out the 'fish eye' effect that the wide angle GoPros and similar cameras do to your footage. Nice video as usual Aaron.

[@adventureswithsteph5352]

Hey brother, I hope all is well. I wanted to ask if that Tacoma was a four-wheel-drive black one you were docking the boat with in this video.?

great video. Ice machine is definitely worth it. at $400 thats 33 days of fishing. I cheated and put an ice maker in a chest freezer and let it roll. part is for fish part just ice.
