Many people wonder where to fish in the florida keys when windy. Too windy to go offshore. This is where I like to go deep into the mangroves where the fishing is protected from the wind. My SeaEagle fishskiff 16 is the perfect inflatable fishing boat that lets me go into shallow water and find the secret snapper fishing holes

You said if we are going to buy a house, hit you up, are you a real estate agent? I'm definitely buying something.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

@@politicalfisherman540 I have a lot of connections in real estate down here. I’ll take you fishing if you buy a property through one of my realtors! 🤠

[@politicalfisherman540]

@SouthFloridaFishingChannel sounds good 👍, maybe I'll take you hunting in return. I got big deer up here.

[@oystertoad2909]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel hey hieko I got a message saying to text to claim my prize what’s up with that🤷‍♂️

[@lightfordarktimes-jeffcrip6816]

Heiko - This video is an example of why I follow your channel. I have been laid up with a cold for a few days and spend a lot of time re-watching SFFC videos. Most fishing and hunting video programs are so far removed from the world most of us fish and hunt in that I can't relate to them. They are about competition, big-names, big money and are in a world most of us don't live in. You have boat motor troubles, you forget to take a net, you get excited when a fish is on, you bring us into your house and so on. It's hard to explain, but your style makes your followers feel like we are your fishing buddies.

[@user-fi2fz7ny2q]

If you are going to dig a ditch to run power to the dock don’t forget to throw some water pipe in the ditch before you cover it up. It will be nice to have power and water down there

[@michaelfranklyn5660]

Good show,but as a Jamaican u throw away some of the best parts of the fish,soup parts!..🇯🇲🇯🇲👊🏿

[@TheDrummergirl33]

That went by fast, I would have not even known it was 48 minutes,until you said something. Great video Heiko

[@randyroth383]

Remember put transmission oil on your leaf springs thay won't rust out Pant brush n trash bag under to catch oil. Been a long time sents i bought mine there not rusted eather. Other oils not the same transmission oil works the best it sticks to it ✌️

[@engelbertpyke9207]

Down here in the Caribbean the Barry is some times called poor mans wahoo. Certain villages where I live they would choose Barry over the snapper any day.

[@Eray77777]

Me and my family are currently in klk you talked to them yesterday and gave us some good tips Ty

[@fungus4758]

Additionally, the snapper you caught at the 28 minute mark is a schoolmaster - no white triangle tear drop below the eye. The other one you caught prior is the dog snapper. You can see the triangular white tear drop below the eye and the colors aren't as vivid. Cheers mon 🤙

[@jeffmorris1823]

Ugly stick makes a mini rod called the dock master. My kids and I have caught 30 pound blue cats with it. It would be perfect for the mangroves.

[@fungus4758]

Just caught yellow tails and a barracuda over the weekend. Ate them and barracuda I would take over the snapper 🤙 For keeping your bait alive, try the Frabill Flow Troll Bait Container 6 quart. Cheers mon

[@brianhawthorne3662]

Finally broke out the grippers! They definitely can help you out in a lot of spots in the mangroves!

[@adamkittok]

Need an ice fishing pole to fish in that tiny spot

[@adamkittok]

I think ugly stick makes a dockmaster. Kids sized pole

[@canyonrunner]

Aside from a working livewell with an aerator and a good water filter - which isn't practical on your inflatable skiff how about testing a natural approach. Net a few and place them in a minnow trap or equal of sufficient size that you can drag the thing in the water alongside the boat? Try to diffuse the bright, direct sunlight. Probably things that you already have laying around. Start with a few and work your way up.

[@richardcampbell6536]

Suggestion for the tiller get a whiffle bat snit the tip and man tape “duct tape “ and probably save some money

[@alcidesjuarez6373]

Corona and Snapper = a perfect combination.

[@canyonrunner]

Your thoughts on the SeaEagle fishing skiff powered by an electric trolling motor. I am thinking stealth and the fact that most electric transom-mount trolling motors can have the propeller shaft either lifted or dropped in the water while still powering the boat. Tnx.

[@SFFC-highlights]

probably would be a great time with an electric motor!

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

E propulsion electric motor would be a decent alternative

[@johnwoods5206]

Mangroves for the best taste, Cuda for the most meat and good flavor especially breaded

[@francismartin67]

Put a pair of hand pruners in your bag to trip branches when needed like this trip. Big fish hide in tight spots…😄😉

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Hey Heiko, this was a better show. I think they’re trolling shows this is enjoyable.

[@Stryft_PRAC]

Yoo let’s see another trip from that lil skiff 😎 YEEHAW😂😂

[@francismartin67]

Frabill rechargeable aerator in a 5-12 gallon bucket. Change out your water every hour or two for better results.

[@mikemargiolos7145]

Great video Hieco. I still remember the video where the snapper bit you. That was the funniest thing I have ever seen loved it. 😎

You are getting much better at throwing a cast net. Congratulations.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

[@TheGenkidia]

Those Golden Yellow striped fish you caught were SCHOOL MASTER SNAPPERS. And I absolutely love Mangrove Snapper. Barracuda are awesome tasting 😊

[@randallfoster6107]

I'm from KY bit I've been down there many times but I never do much good but if next time I go imma be looking for ya much love brother your the G.O.A.T.....

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks man!!! You’ll get em next time. I can feel it!

[@youroutdoors5453]

I have 2 words for you a small rod, "Dock Demon" is your best bet in my opinion. I have watched guys reel in 30# catfish on one. You can also get one of those inflatable floating coolers and tow it behind you while in the mangroves like a trailer to help make room. Great video brother, see you on the next one. I just looked and Cuddy makes a floating hard sided cooler that would work awesome for what you need.

[@FLSeaKid]

Bucket with a bubbler will take live bait to places you’d never think lol

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

good to know!!!

[@JohnBaruch10]

Grocery bin with the slits hung over the side, done!

[@adamshirley9220]

Hey man, watched quite a few of your videos and I’m a subscriber that lives in Wisconsin. My daughter is in grad school in St. Petersburg Florida. I come down to Florida three or four times a year and do tons of fishing while I’m there. while I have been to Key West I haven’t been there since I was a kid. Props to you for being able to make enough money to live the life style that you are. I’ve been self-employed since I’ve been 18 now own and run a small remodeling business and am a licensed contractor in the state of Wisconsin would love to be a snowbird and spend my winters in Florida and my summers in Wisconsin.

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video man!!! The Sea Eagle is so nice!! I Bet it's going to be so fun when you get the new handle. It will be sweet if you can stand up and drive like a gas powered surfboard! With two rods high speed trolling sounds like a fun time!!!! See ya next time!

[@bradcondon6632]

If you ate Cuda every day, snapper would be a treat. If you ate snapper every day, cuda would be a treat

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

that's the truth right there

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍👍❤ This is like when I go Fly Fishing on some of the smaller rivers. Very relaxing without the waves and the wind and being able to catch a beautiful snapper. I agree to get a small "bean" fishing rod for the mangroves. Heiko, another very well-done and so fun and hilarious video to watch! Bye for now from another boat owner in Seattle, WA.

[@frankmarullo228]

Good video Heiko . Question ,, what did you ever do with the paddle boat you recovered ? Want to see the finished product my friend. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I still have it and want to give it away. Would be much too much work for me to restore

[@frankmarullo228]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel thank you for your response my friend...

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

I absolutely am loving the inflatable mini skiffs. I am about to get one myself but the one im getting is way lighter more compact and its 1/4 of the price. Im about to pull the trigger on it today. These skiffs are better than my jon boat or a kayak in many ways. Cant stand on my jon boat or kayak so this fills a niche that i really want.

[@JenniferNavas-ht5px]

Heiko!! 😆😆🤣💀I'm only :44 seconds in this video and you already have me wheezing 🤣🤣🤣😆. You are so freaking hilarious bro. Such a vibe. I'm gonna watch the rest now, hahaha

Mann... tha boat is truly stable, you was all over it and it never looked like you were gonna fall and neither did the boat look like it even for a sec was going to over turn. Thats awesome!

[@sylvesterinfl]

I purchased the Sea Eagle. Just waiting on my 9.9hp to arrive. I use to fish from a SeaDoo FishPro. After your first video of the Sea Eagle, I got one immediately and sold the SeaDoo. Nothing wrong with the SeaDoo, it was an age thing. 😂. Great video.

I used to live on big pine as a kid. God I miss the fishing so much. Snappers were so plentiful and you could dam near catch a 5 star dinner any time of day. Hell I could catch em in the canal behind my house. I miss it down there so freaking bad. Awesome videos man keep it up.

A bubbler in a cooler would be good or have the bucket floating in the water next to you so the fish don't get heat stroke? lol

I checked out the Sea Eagle website. Surprisingly, not nearly as expensive as I thought they would be

[@VHarvey]

I think Barracuda’s are really tasty fish.

[@C3RRR-sz6zp]

5 gal bucket with bubbler to keep them alive. Would only do max 3 dozen. They’ll start dying if u crowd it.

[@mayasoutdoorsfishing3773]

im still looking forward to some deep waters fishing

[@tc8025]

So if you go to the keys Bass Pro they actually sell cheap ice fishing rods. I stopped in the last time I was down there looking for a couple cheapos for the kids for some dock fishing at the resort. Told the salesman what I was looking for and he said, let me show you our best selling rod and ree combo. Walked down to the end of the aisle and grabbed a $20 ice fishing rod. I was like, why do you have these? He said they sell a ton of them that people take home as souvenirs or gag gifts so they can say they got a setup from the country's fishing capital. Anyway we used them to land several keeper snapper and one of them made it back in my checked bag without breaking. Think it would be super effective in those tight mangroves.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yea that would be ideal! Thanks for the info!

[@sjalana1]

I watch your videos all the times,very informative and entertaining,thank you.

Piscifun sells a nice Ice Fishing rod that would work great for that first spot you were having problems with the full size rods.

[@dhtrapper7894]

Heiko, you will need to checkout sites for kayak space saving items for the boat. They sell live wells you can hang from the side of the boat, streamlined coolers that are bags and all. I love that you got back to your old style videos! Love it!

[@michaelgreene]

Sparkling water. Yeah. Then crack open the corona. LOL

Hi sweetie. Before I watch your vid. I just want to give you my opinion about the anemone. I really hope that you continue to update on this beautiful creature.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

It’s still by the dock! I fed it some piece of snapper this morning 🤤

[@JohnBaruch10]

Heicko I just saw a Deer meat for dinner video in Curcao where they made a live well with a grocery bin with holes in it ( you know the green ones that hold produce and bread, more like slits than holes) and they just strapped it to the side of the boat. Instant live well.

[@juliamcarthur6600]

Make a bag out of smaller netting for over the side of your boat.

[@JohnBaruch10]

Heicko your epic man! Thats why I love watching you and your rare personality. Rare but good, the phycological warfare part got me and I love the name of your cat after the movie How to Train your dragon. He does look like the dragon.

[@johnnorftil8215]

I'm going to say snapper is better than barracuda

[@jakemedley7423]

Heiko I think you need to invest in a push pole for that inflatable I feel it would work better than the paddle and give you more control in the wind.

[@jakemedley7423]

Also please take this thing to the reefs edge sometime I want to see how it handles big water

[@spotpkt]

Check out the Flop Box. Expensive, but it will keep bait alive for days on one charge. My record is 3 days with minnows. Lost maybe 5% over those three days.

Never had a mangrove but knowing barracudas, i am hesitant on eating the barracuda. Live all your videos, long or short. If the content is interesting the longer ones go by quickly. I'd love to have an inflatable boat but the cost is way out if my price range. See you sometime soon I hope.
