Searching For Lobster From The Boat | The Perfect Day CCC

[@juanriverol7527]

What up with that sugar booger🎉 lol

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

Hey, that's my recipe!! Great job and thanks for trying it!!. Forry for not being more detailed...I coat the tail in the candied zest and some S&P, then sautee the tails in butter. The BIGGEST thing I may have left out was to crush up the zest to a finer powder so it coats a little better (either a coffee grinder or mortal/pedestal)...almost like kosher salt sized granules. Then when it's done,. top/cover it with the butter you used to sautee it or a little extra drawn butter on top. The butter just adds more richness to cut through the candied orange zest. Oh, and I've used aluminum foil in the past...definitely parchment paper next time :D

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

Also, sauteeing with the orange zest in butter first helps make it cling to it.

[@FiremanTy]

You mean to tell me after years of marking numbers you don’t know what mark # 48962 is?!! Great tip on the notes

[@drewandcharlie7583]

If you’ve never been to the keys and seen what a windy boating nightmare it is, especially in the winter. You wont appreciate how incredible of a day this is

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha

[@tarungonneea4614]

They are few and far between!

[@clenaghen]

Took my girlfriend snorkeling in September years ago and I haven't been able to get her to go with me since. The fish had plenty of food though...

[@c0kement0s]

Brought the kids there after Christmas to Snorkel? Small craft advisories, no snorkeling, to say the least!

So many people go out and they really really don't appreciate how beautiful nature... really take it in... especially people that are always out there ... they take it for granted....it's amazing how you still have that Wonder

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Still gets me every time

[@Cryptochinodotsol]

@@KeyWestWaterman that's somebody that's grateful

[@thefloorstalker6064]

Excellent videos... Attaching a GoPro to a 10-to-15-foot pole would go a long way to checking out the potential of a ledge overhang before going in... Thanks for bring us along...

[@tch4133]

Catching and cooking your food is the most rewarding feeling.

[@kanartech]

It's 12:AM in Africa, that's my quiet moments to watch your video, and I love how you take note on free driving alone, a bunch of loves and greetings from 🇳🇬

[@Sweet_meet_pete]

much love from across the pond brother!

[@briansprinkle7855]

I have noticed that a certain better half always seems to show up in the kitchen at sampling time! So awesome that you both can enjoy a fantastic harvested meal like this!

[@RagingNana57]

The clarity of the water is beyond amazing! Thank for sharing this content. It absolutely made my day!

[@joshjones2678]

It’s amazing there

[@joshdouba8058]

4:55 a little white powder under the nose always helps

[@nolanmarcus2782]

Might be sunscreen 😂??? Either way, whatever gets ya out there!

[@shookthehooksportfishing3507]

I like Madelyn’s salad idea. Some spinach, cranberries, feta, sunflower seeds, some almonds slices or pecans or walnuts, a citrus or raspberry vinaigrette. Drop some chunks of that candied orange covered lobster on top. 🤌

[@SaltyWrench]

I can’t imagine you get many days like that in October, beautiful, enjoy & thx for sharing

[@KeyWestWaterman]

they are a treat!

[@hydropro-tech7749]

As usual, awesome video! Since you are taking recipes. This one is very simple, but I will say it will blow your mind. I split the lobster in half, keeping the head and tale intact. I stuff grouper in the head part, cover with garlic butter, and put it on the grill shell side down until completely cooked. I do not flip. The grouper takes on the flavor of the lobster, and it is delicious!! Enjoy

[@anthonygange1386]

Super clear water for spotting lobsters from the boat Awesome Aaron😊🤟😲😳🦞🦀

[@jamesthompson8133]

Thank you for taking us on your adventure! It reminded me of my offshore charter days even after fishing over 200 days a year for years I always got so excited when we booked a 12 hour trip I would not be able to sleep..It was so much fun getting way offshore and search for new spots. Always go to new areas and usually find enough to make the trip if not I had some get well mangrove and gag holes. Just absolutely loved searching 40-50 miles offshore. The small rocks were the best no one else except God knew they were there. Have caught hundreds of grouper and snapper on those little ledges. Just brought back some great memories. Thank you brother!!! Always look forward to seeing you!!!

[@hisnameisiam808]

Thank you Jesus for an awesome life!

[@Jeff_2362]

Thats awesome you're still finding new spots even after being down there for 10 years!! Have a great day Aaron!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I would hate to think I could ever find them all!

[@Jeff_2362]

@KeyWestWaterman I have too many kind things to say. You're above average and can literally explain what to look for and what's going to be in that specific area due to the habitat. To me it's fascinating that you're still finding new spots.

[@billclark1011]

Now thats a slicker, sooooo clear , love the search areas where you dont have any , still cant get used to the tiny helm. Try the parchment paper and dont dry it out completely, coat the top and press it in and let the broiling do the final caramelization, other options are sour orange , mango and key lime. As always thanks for your time.

[@8BitAron]

Thanks for sharing your day, if Rick is reading thanks for the recipe. if you like an Old Fashion the simple syrup might have been worth saving in the fridge 🥃

[@jasonpercy184]

Awesome day . I've got a buddy in his 60's . He has his dad's old journal that has 50 years of his spots he hunted. He won't let anyone touch that book. It's sacred . Thanks for another great Monday video.

[@alf9638]

Days like these are when life-long memories are made.

[@bd-me7yp]

Those couple days two weeks ago were awesome. It was like an aquarium off of Sawyer. Did the exact same thing as you did in this video and took advantage of the crystal clear water to find new spots.

[@margekaralis4212]

Wow, 67 more days til we head down from Michigan. You make me yearn to be there. I can’t believe how you can spot antennas so well. Practice, practice. Thanks for sharing!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

[@reloadncharge9907]

Good anchoring system……adopted! Thanks, Andrew

[@KeyWestWaterman]

works like a charm!

[@MrAtrophy]

18:00- 19:00 this is a man who knows his environment. that impressed me.

[@bradjones9634]

Excellent! Another beautiful day in paradise. Live the dream brother!

[@wewetree8816]

I really enjoy your videos me and my dad have been watching a lot of them! This year we put a lobster holding bag on a line with buoy dive flag and a weight belt (acting as a small anchor.) it was really nice not having to swim them back to the boat and not having to carry the bag up and down each time. We also tied it to the bottom near the weight belt while scuba diving. Might be nice to put a bag on your anchor line so you don’t have to climb in the boat each time

[@burk3552]

Something u dont see enough of is the tether being worn,i dont operate my sled,seadoo or boat without it,good to see,beautiful place your in there

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Aaron is right! and really appreciate that! doing our best to enjoy life!

I think part of the fun for us is finding spots. It’s a part of the hunt if that makes sense. Thanks as always for taking us along! ❤

I couldn't agree more!

Where do you live ?

[@gregkirchner1108]

Another Great Video Aaron! You are definitely the "Bob Ross" of Diving! I was thinking... in your recipe add grated ginger and the thinly sliced white parts of green onion, and use the thinly sliced green parts for garnish.

[@AmorAdventures]

Great visibility in the water. Makes us want to do an adventure in Key West! Thanks for sharing!

[@penndunaway]

Madeline appears to have slimmed down for the wedding. Congrats and good luck.

[@thereturningboomerang]

Thank you for taking me places that are calming.......

[@ScottStrange-k8o]

Brings back memories. When I was a boy living in the keys in the early 70's, someone had placed a bunch if car hoods out in an area and they were always full of lobster. I'm sure nowadays that's illegal.. Thanks for sharing your day.

[@tonygville2969]

I too grew up in old Miami (Palmetto 78✌️) and it was a special time to be there. Watching Coconut Grove growing from the Boat show at Dinner Key and then the hippies and then the leather boys 😒 And now the $$$$$$ I remember back in the 70's and my brother working at Tackle World in South Miami with Mel Shapiro. Às young hippy

[@Nitrox4me]

I dragged my boat to Marathon for a week of lobstering and mahi. The weather was great, except for some passing showers. It was late Sept. We were north of the 7-mi bridge and found no ledges anywhere. All were apparently filled in with sand from previous years' hurricanes. There were four of us hunting and desperately searching to no avail. Going to the Northern Honda Keys was about 20 mi. Not worth it to roll the dice on finding any, as it was late in the season. Obviously, my area was picked already, In years past out of Big Pine Key to the north was very productive. I'll probably never go to the Marathon area again. Great video!

[@kylewenzel3584]

You’re a sniper with that snare man! It’s not as easy as you make it look. So cool that you have this as your backyard! Im stealing that longline/anchor trick too, thanks!

[@davidringer6775]

Was just down there this past weekend. Unfortunately you were all booked. The keys are magnificent. Had lunch at the hogfish guess that was close enough lol.

[@TylerHelton13]

We have dreamed of coming back since we left last month. I could see myself living there.

[@allneedsmobiledustlessblas2859]

Great video brother. Certainly enjoyed watching this as it is beginning to change seasons in North Alabama. Congratulations to you both. Micky C

[@cheffrey9016]

You gotta try fried lobster. Works well with warm water tail. Seasoned flour ,buttermilk, season flour with a lil cornstarch in it. Serve with wine joe crabs sauce. Fire!!

[@markrosenquist8259]

Wow!!! Talk about a slicker. Beautiful!!!

[@jimnewton757]

My wife and I lived on No Name Key for 12 years and these sort of days let you count the bugs without getting in. We loged around 300 holes close to home. Yep we learned to note something about each hole in the log book.

[@JWnFlorida]

Lobsta Ala orange 🍊 crunch 😆 🤣 😂 😹 Great video as always.

[@SchaafDesign]

If you ever make that dish again, save the infused simple syrup and use it in cocktails, homemade Italian sodas, etc. I’m sure it would be killer. Love the vids!

[@thewhitetaildeerhunter]

Awesome video, brother. Unbelievable water. We ate in Sugarloaf Key for all of March.

[@HarryCane305]

Good tip. anchor clip! I dive off a kayak, using a folding grappling anchor. .

[@Bill3558]

I hope you realize your living in paradise. I’m taking my trawler there in January. Have fun. Love your videos.

[@johnsoeder756]

That’s how we have found many spots. Clear day float around. It’s awesome and fun.

[@gguanche7]

Great video! I recently noticed the lobsters with the gray mark on the underside of their head always have orange (I’m guessing the beginning of eggs) in their heads. I try to let those go now whenever I find them

[@bobmackay3414]

Aaron, you have eyes better than an eagle to spot lobster antenna in the water under the ledge.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha lots of practice!

[@jesusmaryandjoseph6]

I used to do jetski tours around key west, we'd do a tour around the island which was about 30 miles

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Aaron! Love the seek & find attitude. Hard work always pays off while most viewers want the “Now tell me the best place” attitude, so I can sit on my f#t a#s and reap the rewards of your hard work. Sad but accurate view of all the ones who keep asking “why don’t you say where you are”. Lol. The lobster dish may have been ok for some, but likely not for all. Just like your 2 reactions. However, before you say no, try the recipe as presented… get parchment paper. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@K.Jones_wcc]

i live in the las vegas desert and this looks like a day my soul and mind need. seeing the earth like this seems unreal to me

[@VernBigDaddy]

Try these recipes on: Smoked King Meatball Subs - just how it sounds. Tight meatball with only enough egg and bread crumb to hold it together. Sear it in olive oil and pour in Red pepper marinara. Provolone melted on a good roll. YUM! Trigger Green Curry and Jasmine Rice - Maesri Green Curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, salt, lime leaves, lime juice and Thai basil - cook carrot, trimmed snow peas in sauce til fork tender - add raw Trigger & Zucchini or Eggplant. Simmer for 4-5 mins. Serve that mouth-gasm on steamed Jasmine Rice. Any firm fish will do.

[@size-matters]

I’ll be down there the beginning of November. Solo trip on my boat for five days doing exactly what you where doing. Fishing, lobstering and crabbing. Hope the weather is good.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Personally glad you tried this recipe, tired of hearing from Rick. Though I would have kept the simple syrup. Beautiful day.

[@winter7349]

America is such a beautiful country

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it def is!

[@Orisha1990]

Pretty cool. I make my own snare/tickle stick with wire and a random wooden stick when I'm traveling abroad if Lobstering is allowed. Those fancy snares are too long to travel with, but they sure are awesome.

[@crazymug]

Might it be a foolish question? Can they cause harm or are they defenseless?

[@SteveJones-gz4vd]

Damn those seas ! Am a merchant Mmarina and days like those are special, some of the best waters are close to you Dry Totuga

[@Bkearing]

You should give the style of snare that is a simple loop on a stick a try, without the spring loading feature of the green one. You can often slip it behind a lobster under a crevice and pull in a single motion without needing to tickle them out to open it up behind them. Great video as always!

[@Randymcsendy]

@keywestwaterman old dude up by me told me to bring #2 pencils and write the description on the console. It erases/wipes off easy and you enter a good throughout description at the dock

[@stewyoung8523]

You do any giggin with that setup? Try Sebastián inlet. Some huge flounder. Be a great night time video.

[@jamesaragon1825]

Aaron I really love it when you do the underwater voice overs, it makes it easier to know what you are doing. That's fantastic. Any news on videoing the wedding???? We really want to be there to see it don't let us down please!!!😮😅

[@Mysticforest_]

You should have kept all the syrup. That's where the sweet orange flavour was. I would have brushed the syrup on every minute it was in the oven then topped with the crunchies.

[@blacklabel810]

Very beautiful view, the sea water is very clear, Boss Qu... Amazing lobster hunting.

Cool to see another pyro in here. This is my second hobby lol

[@lewislambert2141]

Another great video. Your new boat looks perfect for what you're going after. I'm curious, you're gheenoe ledges, do you find any slipper or shovel nose lobster on them. Here in Sarasota we find them mostly in swiss cheese bottom. Keep up the awesome work my friend, stay healthy!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it surely is! and on very rare occasion, I've only caught 3 in the 10 years I've been here. actually saw one the other day on a coral head but it was super small.

[@nicksavage4763]

Mom had a Recipe for Orange 🍊 Flavored Fried Chicken 🍗 So the Orange and Citrus flavor is Versatile. Yum 🎉

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

Lobster goes well with coconut. shredded coconut in reduced coconut milk. Brown off the fresh shredded coconut lightly in butter finish with garlic paste and a little lemon. deglaze with coconut milk and white wine reduce to half. Pan sear the half tail then pour the coconut sauce on before baking for 5-7 min. Top with fresh lemon juice and zest.

[@brentchalmers1436]

Tossed coconut salad, New England boiled coconut, fresh coconut water!!!

[@fragout5710]

Thank God...I thought I was the only one who's kitchen drawers looked like that.

Retired in Little Torch Key if you ever want someone to go along, and pass some knowledge! I'm trying to learn and explore by myself.

[@maccalhoun4764]

Beautiful! I was just out last week fishing and playing music on Duvall. I’m back in December, would love to fish with ya! I’ll throw you on the band tab too if you help me with a good fishing spot👊

[@Mike-hb4pc]

And therein lies the question..... yes, there are but a few legal lobsters at this time of the season due to pressure from commercial and recreational, but why isn't there still a crap load of undersize lobsters on those ledges?

[@manuelmerida2987]

Congratulations happy wedding wish you both a happy healthy life cheers

[@billbowers2155]

Aaron, You don't really need to boil simple syrup. Just get the water hot enough until all the sugar dissolves.

[@itninja9503]

This is such a relaxing video, really great content. I love the sounds of the air coming out of your snorkel as you dive, it instinctively makes me slow myself down. Are you diving the gulf or the Ocean side in this video?

[@matthew_harris]

@ 19:27 It looked like a Stone Crab, are you going to harvest any of those now that they are in season?

[@Cryptochinodotsol]

I would suggest for the lobster quite a bit more Orange zest... I would reduce that simple syrup a little further...so it thickens a little more and and cling to the orange zest a little more...I would still do the Seer but instead of cooking it meat side up..I would cook it meat side down on top of the zest...once in the oven....so the flavors can permeate totally through the lobster. Carefully flip it over and broil it for a few minutes. bon appetit

[@johnnyvee9486]

That video was awesome! I liked the concept of the unknown, exploring areas that are new to you. Glad you were able to get a few bugs along the way. Maybe give the recipe another try? I would, seems promising, unless the taste was clearly not going in your direction. Enjoy the day!

[@kedrickswain6509]

If you try the orange again, save the simple for margaritas!

[@Allirys]

Its awesome that you have so many knowledge to share and still have some "secrets" to show. You just said it in the first seconds: wow. Nice spots and I believe no other capt do this like you. Im always learning and having fun. Thanks, Aaron!

[@danielmoose1273]

"Do Your Best" Lol-Lol(!!) ... good one 🙂.

[@SctyGrpPowers]

chunk the raw lobster up, saute it in a little of the simple syrup and zest with a little garlic. Coat the lobster pieces in the thickened simple syrup

[@Teiflingmain]

Man i need to get out to florida for some fishing/diving. looks so fun to just go out and catch stuff to eat

[@brian4963]

Oh DAAAANG!! I don't remember the last time I've seen it that flat...

[@douglassmith1632]

Yes, crunches are the way to go!

[@Mk4Thumper]

Scouting is one of my favorite things to do. A little marking tip that we use. Name your bigger marks with something descriptive that will clue you on what's there and mark the small spots with just the numbers. That way you see names for big holes and numbers for little holes.

[@GarysBBQSupplies]

Thanks for the video, maybe try adding a little salt to bring out more flavor.

[@lelobatun6305]

Amazing!! Great video Bud!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulcardone481]

I would find that lobster from out deeper would generally have darker shells. That purple looking one may have crawled in recently. I’m would guess it’s something in the lobsters diet that they find out deep that makes the color.

[@joeponder9668]

Coming from the space coast, when would you recommend to come down for the “chance” at the best water? Obviously it’s not predictable but ifn a feller was there a week.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its always a roll of the dice, the shallows are more often dirty in the winter because of the winds but still random theres no pattern to it.

[@gradybrowning3976]

Wow what a Beautiful day!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Yes it was!

Cook the simple syrup and orange zest back down to a syrup and drizzle it over the lobster.
