Shallow Water Lobstering | You Can't Always Get What You Want…

[@KeyWestWaterman]

If you enjoy home tours, feel free to check out Madeleine's Channel! www.youtube.com/@FLKeysMadeleine As always thanks so much for tuning in!

[@Pharm_NYC]

I've watched Madeleine's channel a few times. Please tell her to change very little. Perfection is the enemy of Good! So many times, on social we try to be perfect and in doing so, lose the human "element". This may lead to a lack of trust and likeability. Madeleine has a unique Color Insight profile and energy style (Yellow/Amiable). Basically, she should continue to Keep it Real and be herself. :)- Well Done!

[@FronaTressler]

I absolutely love her home channel….and would love to be her client one day…fishing on the canal everyday….after swimming in my pool!

[@garysanchez5744]

is there meat in the antennae?

[@mike77752]

what kind of boat is that?

[@flawdanative3223]

Your videos are Not boring🦞at All! If you're having Fun(or Not) you can bet we're having fun! Keep'em coming! 🐟

[@ScottStrange-k8o]

I love how your boat is set up, with the console up front.

[@Julianne955]

Aaron, and Madeleine, the joy of your channel is just hanging out, for one moment in these crazy days...life is peaceful. You have a very certain vibe that takes us out of the crazy for just a small moment of real peace and tranquility. Whether you're fishing, cooking, talking with Captains (which was epic, even though I didn't understand a thing, it was relaxing). Just be you, in all your hippy gloriousness. Is that a word? Think the world of you and your family...keep on rolling on!

[@avivbrokman3931]

I'm not getting bored at all. It's fun watching you try out new recipes, new locations, etc., but I enjoy every episode.

[@joshseguro7887]

The sharks are actually in the shallow water because they’re cold blooded similarly to reptiles so it’s easier to “bask” in shallow water

[@KeyWestWaterman]

ahh makes sense!

[@RajaAdou]

Main man!!! I’m a native Miamian living in ATL. I love your channel because it reminds me of home. Had a really bad day, but your videos always provide the calm I need. Will be at Cheeca Lodge for Spring Break again this year. Can’t wait!!!

[@andrewparry6106]

Never boring mate. Alway appreciated

[@KeyWestWaterman]

🙏🏻

[@DN-zw7ox]

With all the snow I’ve got now, I’m jealous. I’m needing that blue water. Thanks, hope the Honeymoon is still happening. 🎉

[@stretch34318]

I'd enjoy seeing more of the dry tortugas. These shallow water dives are great keep them going.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

We try to get out there when we can, just a super long ride and expensive with fuel.

[@scottlowther7698]

The cooking part of the video is my second favorite part 🇨🇦😋👍

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Love to hear it!

[@bobjarrard]

Nice haircut - it takes a few years off how you look, not that it matters. You look more relaxed since you no longer charter all the time. Great post - thanks. Bob in Nevada

[@patrickreynolds793]

You have inspired my life goal to move to the Florida Keys lol. I love the Pacific coast, but I just can't beat the allure of the beauty and blessings the Key provides. I love your videos!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Life’s to short to not do what you want! Wish you the best of luck!

[@FLKeysMadeleine]

I know someone that could help make that a reality 😉🏠

[@skylarbohannon]

You and me both! It’s been 3 years of taking vacations to different parts of Florida and the winters in the pnw are rough on me.

[@adamyoung480]

Change is is good, variety also good.

[@cortjampole9391]

Don’t bother. As someone who grew up in the keys I can tell you they are fished out. The coral reefs are dead. The main landers and developers have destroyed the once abundant waters. Tourists have abused the waters for their own entertainment. You can’t purchase a decent home for under 1 million dollars. The vast majority of houses are vacation rentals owned by greedy investors who could care less about the destruction of the environment. The labor force can’t afford to live there. They are bussed in from Homestead. So unless you are a millionaire, stay where you are. It’s now the playground for the rich and famous. The watermans lifestyle is the exception not the rule. Good luck.

[@lewislambert2141]

It seems that you really enjoy your new gheenoe. Looks perfect for the day you had today. I agree with you about this winter, Goldilocks weather, not too hot, not to cold, just right. Getting braced for the long hot summer ahead. Great video my friend!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

So happy with it! Def is perfect for these days

[@gomertube]

We had the nicest February that I can remember up here in the FL panhandle. Don’t want it to end!

[@anthonyp2312]

I love exploring especially when you find something really special that you think no one else has discovered.

[@tonygville2969]

Best winter ever 🤔 I wonder what's different 🤔😉 Madeeeelineeeee....... God's smiling on y'all for making it official 👍❤️ Peace to y'all 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 😉

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻

[@tonygville2969]

@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for sharing. The sharks I couldn't get comfortable with. Saw Jaws when it was released at the old Dixie Drive In Theater, and I was afraid to get in the stinkin shower 😧🤣 Now we didn't have KWW on Tell-A-Vison 😏 showing us how it was done back in the day 😁✌️ Flipper would kick some sharks butt.👍

[@JohnBaruch10]

Aaron nothing you do is boring. I’m originally from south Florida so it’s so refreshing to see you in action doing everything I miss from home. Could watch it everyday.

[@JenniferCollier-u6e]

It never gets old! We only get to come down two or three times a year so we love watching and seeing what the current fishing is like! It’s soooo beautiful in spring! I need the chowder recipe please.

[@edcew8236]

How cool to see how you appreciate and have mastered your environment. I'm almost envious!

[@brianpapiez1719]

Love watching your videos and all the underwater footage. I got an action camera that I want to take SCUBA diving with me to record the fun. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Love to hear it!

[@lancecashler5547]

I want to apologize for making an unfair comment about you 2 videos ago. You have earned every bit of building this channel. Easy to be critical as a keyboard fool (me). God bless you and Madeleine.

[@ronturner6411]

You could paint a wall and I would watch it as you describe the drying process. Lol. I love your videos, I try to never miss one. Keep up the great work.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

🤣

[@sammcvea1069]

We like that video 📹. Cheri and I would love that lobster area. Great for us old people, 😆 🤣 😂

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

When I'm in my happiest place I'm hunting and gathering and preparing stuff to eat from berries to mushrooms to bluegills to deer. Did a lil lobstering with an outfit off Looe key as few years ago with the fam. Kinda rough in the tide but we scored some. Love the channel!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

there's nothing like it!

[@Saltlife_305]

Diving into new waters

[@NoleYakin]

Seeing you use that sinker as a crusher made me very happy 😂

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Lol

[@dustinschell5780]

Right on time! Thanks, Aaron!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

You bet!

[@oriolcuba]

for us no more than six feet "divers", this is really appreciated! :)

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha they are out there!

[@anthony3603]

Love these episodes and the mangrove hunts! One of Madeline home tours showed up in my feed! The host and camera man did an awesome job! Looks great to me!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha! Love to hear it

[@skylarbohannon]

Not bored at all! The lobster videos are actually my favorite. Thank you for all the great content.

[@thebeard8292]

Hearing how amazing the winter was only makes me happier knowing I'm going to be in delray beach, flor in 2 months with my move The next place after that is way down there after! But one step at a time

[@mikew3194]

Just got to go free dive on some 15-20 foot reefs for the first time since I was a kid. I used to watch your videos and hold my breath with you to see if I could get a feel for it hahaha. It's so much more difficult with water pressure, physical activity, current, and the mental load of searching crevices while watching your surroundings. Needless to say, no lobsters were found but a newfound respect. And I'm also aware they're out of season, just having some fun!

[@georgericketson7279]

IMO the most fascinating video you’ve made so far is the one where you and Madeleine go deep into the mangroves underwater. So more of that please!

[@rustbucket9318]

When they cooked over fire in the boat? That was cool.

[@ryanm5510]

As someone who has lived in Florida for nearly 20 years, I am flabberghasted that you would say this is the best winter we have had in 10 years. 70's is killing me! I hate how hot it is here! lol!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha Florida keys winters are very different than the rest of Florida. I guess depends where ya are!

[@ryanm5510]

@KeyWestWaterman fair enough brother! P.S. long time fan of the channel! I am eager to get into diving for some fish at some point because of your content! Keep it up! Much love!

[@Cookerab]

I feel like wettest winter up here in Manatee we have had in decades. Mosquitos and no see ums are gonna be real this year.@@KeyWestWaterman

[@juliemanarin4127]

I want to move to Florida 😢

[@PatriciaStapp-f3r]

I just watched your Lobstering video. It was wonderful because you took time to show us the water and what was out there cruising around. Two sharks then a star fish, a conch, rays, etc. I have never in my 81 years had a chance to see what you just showed on your video. Thank You. Pat stapp

[@RagingNana]

Your content is always amazing & never boring. The food you cook always looks really good. Thanks for taking is along!

[@LeeGrigas]

My new KWW hoodies arrived just in time to watch the new episode! Keep up the great work Aaron! Love to you and Madeleine from Ottawa, Canada!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it! can't thank you enough for the support!

[@atlatlista]

Still my favorite spearfishing channel on youtube, and not at all boring. I think what sets you apart is the care you take and the time you take explaining your thought process. It helped me go to the keys and spear my first fish last year, so I just live for that deep and intimate knowledge you have of the environment in which you operate. Keep following the rhythms of the ocean, and we'll keep following the channel!

[@SctyGrpPowers]

Can't say you two don't eat well. Lobster for lunch, chowder for dinner! Wow!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha i live for food! Amongst other things

[@Bill3558]

Watching you living the life is a joy to lots of us. Have babies and continue the adventure. Life is not a rehearsal.

[@Parzival.007]

Mangrove diving is always my favorite! Seeing all the beautiful nature/species is just incredible to watch! Living in Illinois, living vicariously through your videos! Absolute dream life you are living! Keep up the awesome videos, love each and every video!

[@andersj21]

I like your go with the flow sign above your tv! Thanks for another adventure!

[@SkipStairs]

Hey salt brother! Just want to let y’all know how much appreciate your time and videos. I have been going thru throat cancer for the last 6 months and looked forward to your videos. Living thru your adventures and counting down the days till I am able get back out there and enjoy some brain and bleeding…..

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I’m so sorry to hear that, but really love to hear they bring you some peace.

[@margekaralis4212]

What a great video. Not boring at all. Totally enthralled watching you search and catch. It never gets old. How about a scallop catch and cook. They’re all good and enjoy watching.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I wish we got scallops! One of my favorite seafoods

[@margekaralis4212]

@@KeyWestWaterman I didn’t realize you didn’t

Eat seafood pretty much everyday and still keep coming back...so keep doing what you're doing can't get tired of your repeat menus and videos. Look forward to your notifications every week.

[@kylewenzel3584]

I’m stoked to see this, thanks Aaron! We’re heading down there next week and hoped to get some late season lobster. I’m glad they’re moving back in

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Enjoy!

BRO!!!!! Not boring at all!!! I am living vicariously thru you! Used to do all that as a kid in Pensacola. So you’re bringing back great memories. I wish I was down there!!! Keep them coming ! Love the shallow diving stone crab lobster and snapper spearing. Do another vid by bridges!! Lobster Rockefeller!!!!!

[@coolasafan1029]

I dont think its possible to get bored with your channel, regardless of how many wahoo you shoot 😂Great stuff as always. My yearly trip down there is quickly approaching. We'll be neighbors for the month of May. Cant wait to be permanent residents one day soon. We'll definitely be calling Pad Mad for that. Glad to see you both happy and healthy, living the life.

haha! love to hear that, ill keep them coming!

[@bradjones9634]

Exploring new spots is half the experience. The food looks delicious!

[@Eagle1538]

Arron. Those blue crabs are doing a cool thing where the male protects a female after a molt.

[@jimrowland6089]

A beautiful day on the water is never boring. That red sauce could make an interesting pizza. Maybe a seafood pizza? Your Gheenoe is a spot finding machine. I love cruising along on the front deck of my boat, some of the really clear lakes around my house have ten foot of visibility. There is always a lot to be seen and found.

[@elmopootkiss4699]

Time for some Key West Waterbabies.😁😁😁

[@francismartin67]

Mangrove Snapper fishing or spearfishing the mangroves for weekly snapper groceries is always enjoyable. Thanks as always for providing the life of a conch. Living the dream Aron, we appreciate you.

Guy sees two sharks and still jumps in water alone. Mad lad this guy is. Just like me !

I was good in my day. I could bring up a 20lb grouper from 50 feet with a Hawaiian sling but you are so much better and your techniques so much more sophisticated. I really enjoy watching your content, your knowledge and your empathy for the eco system. I also enjoy cooking. Maybe I would have a chance in the kitchen!

I’ve seen blue crabs do that when a female molts and is soft a male will crawl on top of her and protect her until she hardens up

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That's a really cool grocery store you have in the backyard. Lots of options. I'd love to see you catch some slipper lobsters to show everyone. Not many people know about them and they're so strange. That big conch would probably make awesome ceviche. I tried conch ceviche in Belize and it was delicious.

[@penndunaway]

Mutton snapper, whole -- gutted. Scales , gills removed. Salt fish heavy, place fish in plastic bag, fill bag with buttermilk. Leave in fridge overnight. Drain milk and cook fish in oven on a rack over a dish with beer and water inside, the liquid prevents the fish from drying out. Fish should come out of oven moist and tender. Usa a fairly big snapper. Good luck.
