[@petersimpson6110]

When you have boiled the heads and shells into a stock, I take all the shells, guts and all, put it all into a cotton bag, and pound and crush it all up as much as possible, then you put it all into a blender and puree it into a thick paste, then strain it through a strainer, and then you will have the best tasting soup, stock or seafood sauce ever.... and you will NEVER throw the shell away again. I freeze it in ice cube trays to be thawed as needed. I live in Australia on the great barrier reef.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I bet its amazing! gonna have to give that a try

I grew up going to the keys every year for mini season with my parents my entire life up until I was about 15. I'm 25 now and have only been 2 or 3 times since I turned 18. mini season is very nostalgic for me, and its crazy to see how more and more boaters seem to show up every year. I miss being able to get down to the keys more than anything I've ever experienced. I hope to be able to afford to return the favor to my parents and start taking them back to the keys some day. thanks for the content, it lets me remember what home was like while I'm watching this all the way out in Japan!

I can’t thank you enough for your videos and all the things you’ve taught me over the past few years. We loaded up on spider crab and it was some of the best crab I’ve ever had. We limited out both days and I’ll give you a spot that you can take the contender to whenever and there are always lobster there. Even had a few charters pull up next to us on the second day. Limited out with 36 both days. No sharks this year somehow or was just so dirty we didn’t see them. Awesome vid can’t wait to see the water clear up!

Everyone I talked to about this mini season said they worked a little harder to get a limit but ‘that’s just mini season’. Some years it’s easy, some years it’s harder.

I remember a day at Boca inlet in the very early 80s, the South jetty had antennae sticking out of seemingly every rock. All we had were gloves, pillowcases, and snorkel gear and we got our 6 each limit (as it was then) in short order. There were some dudes that were poaching and wringing near us, we got back to my buddy's house and called the Marine Patrol (as the FWC was known then). I had never seen so many bugs in my life. Had to be a walk the night before because I hadn't found them in previous days.

Props to you for always keeping things realistic, man. Got a question about etiquette and would love your perspective. As you say, finding these spots takes a lot of time and effort, and some people don't like to put in that time. I'm one of the people who's spent many weekends just looking for holes. But sometimes, going out with friends is the best part of these experiences. What do you usually do when a good friend invites you on their boat? Put in a spot, but delete it after? Keep all your spots just to yourself? Put the number in and leave it in their GPS? Keep your own portable GPS and use it to get there?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really depends on the person, if im being honest I go on another persons boat maybe 2-3 times a year. most of my friends down here have spots so I never need to bring any!
