Searching for Fish under Floating Debris

In this episode, I search the ocean for fish under floating debris off the Atlantic coast of Florida. The first floating debris we discovered was a small floating bamboo stick. There were a few little fish swimming under the bamboo stick. I tossed my bait at the bamboo, and immediately one of the small fish started to eat the bait. I caught the first in this challenge, a small triggerfish. We continued to drive further offshore and discovered a large piece of bamboo floating in 900ft of water. There were hundreds of fish swimming around this piece of bamboo. There were several large tripletail fish swimming around the debris. I managed to catch two large tripletail and three dolphin fish (mahi-mahi) off the bamboo stick. We continued driving and found a large rope floating on the surface. There were hundreds of even bigger fish on this piece of debris! I managed to catch two more large tripletail on the rope to fill our limit. I also dropped a vertical jig down and caught the smallest wahoo I've ever seen! Shortly after, I noticed a huge dolphin fish swimming around the rope. I pitched a live bait at the mahi, and it quickly attacked it. Unfortunately, the dolphin fish spit the hook. We then brought the fish back to the dock, cleaned, and cooked them.

[@primitivebowyer8577]

I always wanted to ask you about which one is better to use for line monofilament or breaded and the pros and cons for both

[@mattc6015]

Braid is overall the best, but they both have their place. Monofilament shines for fish that have soft mouths like kingfish or trout. Braids biggest advantage is the amount of line you can fit on your reel on a 4000 size reel you might be able to fit 100 yards of 20 pound mono but with braid you can fit 250 yards. The biggest disadvantage of braid is it frays easily when compared with mono. Its also important when using braid to always use a mono or fluoro leader. Hope this helps!

What I've learned from blacktiph. Pollution is good for fishing!!!

[@hamptonsmithfishing]

So you don’t gut your fish when you catch them? Put them on ice and just gut/filet when you get back?

Do another catch and cook with Bermuda chubs, people dont believe how good they are
