[@SailingLuckyfish]

Who has heard of pilking? or does it go by another name where you come from? How beautiful was that shark? Leave us a Like and feel free to comment Cheers Everyone.. Stew and Zaya

Looks like what we call "Jigging" on the east coat of Canada.

@@randomtraveler3363 maybe stole it from the Vikings :-) more like....

[@randomtraveler3363]

@@SailingLuckyfish around here they just do it with a handline draped over the side of the boat, no rod required.

[@randomtraveler3363]

@@SailingLuckyfish well the Vikings were here long before Columbus.... So quite a reasonable assumption.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@SV Pilgrims Way what sort of jig are they using? MiQ's are pretty heavy and heavy duty. a far cry from a squid jig . It was interesting to see the Swedish lure meet a Bahamian fish

[@soggybottom3463]

Beautiful footage everyone, great job, my heart sang. Lovely, respectful, treatment of the reef, spelled out by MiQ - do not touch, leave this wonderful thing in perfection to be seen by the next lucky visitor. Thank you once again!

[@MiQBohlin]

Soggy Bottom Right! So many vids about snorkelling coral reefs and so few discussing on how to respect ✊🏽 them. There are quite enough threats already and we don’t want to make them suffer from us visiting them. 🔍 Watching, enjoying and leaving them untouched is the most rewarding way for organisms at large, imho.

Hello Luckyfish Crew, Them Baccarudda are the Wolves of the Sea, Glad to see y'all remove one. I've ate my share of them and have never gotten ill. I imagine a few unlucky souls have had a tainted one or two of the Wolf Fish. i like how you identified the different fish, so many times they are shown, and us YT viewers have no idea what we are looking at. Thanks for the wonderful visit to Paradise, Love Y'all.

[@MiQBohlin]

Jack Taylor I do agree, spices names of any kind is not only a nice help-out, but also gives some good genuineness to the content. 👍🏽

[@MiQBohlin]

Yup, this was one of the luckiest days in my entire life! Trying to catch up swimming with that Black Tipped was like a competition to a Ferrari… Anyways I'm looking forward to next encounter ❤️

[@SailingLuckyfish]

That shark was in idle :-)

[@jimnickles2347]

It never ceases to AMAZE me how FAST they go UNDERWATER. And the Mackerel, tuna, etc, too. Dolphins always Freak Me OUT, swimming right below the Bow of ANY boat or ship they Cruise with, cause I've seen them do it with the Carl Vinson, Fast Frigates, powerboats, FAST Cats, and they NEVER get hit.....Does anybody know how fast a Dolphin CAN go? And the sharks Go like ARROWS...

[@danhoffman7745]

Can You tell me the make of your inflatable catamaran? Thanks, Danny svnano2nd

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Takacat

[@dalejohnson9342]

In the Pacific Northwest of America that pilkin is commonly referred to as jigging. It is a good way to fish as the lure acts like a wounded fish and the other fish think it will be a good dinner.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

yes, thats good to know

[@lessd685]

Thank you for adding names of fish. Now I can look them up to find out more info. Great videos as always and a good mix as well. Thanks again.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

glad that's useful and you enjoyed. Thanks Les

[@FrankHRitz]

nice to travel with you

[@nealbirch9462]

It's time to get Zaya a small weight belt to get zero buoyancy. Shouldn't take much.

[@canadaboycanada3620]

Picking is jigging as in jigging for COD or flounder.

[@canadaboycanada3620]

Sorry my iPad spelt it wrong sb pilking

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye, jigging is not a wrong description, but over here a jig is totally different than a pilk.

[@madogblue]

Good idea to put some earplugs in when scraping the bottom to keep the tiny creepy crawly things out of your head

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Good suggestion... we normally don't let it get so thick.. except for Florida, man that place has some serious growth

[@jimnickles2347]

Maybe the white hairs are from a Cat-or-dogfish that is Shedding....Zaya, you float on top because of your Bubbly, Bouyant Personality.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

haha! we will add a pet groomer to the tools

[@tomharrell1954]

Zaya try a weight belt when free diving. It makes it easier!

[@TheBoabby50]

Hey Miq I thought you were Mark Knoffler for a moment

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Ha, classic! He's an audio guy but sadly doesn't get his money for nothing...

[@MiQBohlin]

Got my guitar 🎸… still not a Knopfler 😉

[@johnshoureas1629]

Jigging is best done when you are drifting, not anchored. You cover more ground when you drift. You should have cut the squid in strips and put it on Zaya's lure. The lure plus the scent of the squid is a great combination.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Great suggestion, Zaya had plenty of conch and she is a big fan of baiting her lures, thanks for the tip

[@johnshoureas1629]

@@SailingLuckyfish Squid is like candy to the fish.

[@MiQBohlin]

JOHN SHOUREAS From my experience in northerly waters both ways work, depending on wind, waves, tide and currents. Often gets nice catches drifting away from a steep. In the Bahamas though, rocks on bottom are as sharp as lava cliffs. A monofilament lead or a steel wire (about a rod length) is the key. The cuda’s are insane…

[@frankd2301]

I saw your dingy at a boat show and really liked the idea. Any drawbacks? Spray over bow?

[@SailingLuckyfish]

no drawbacks, it does what it sets out to do. we had a couple offer to buy ours in Georgetown, they had one but sold it when they changed cats. Now they had a standard 3m rubber ducky. they were fed up with the spray it sent up and missed the dryness of the Takacat so I guess that goes to the heart of your question.

[@jacorin]

Plinking looks like another name for jigging

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Yes, I reckon you are spot on

[@MiQBohlin]

Shane Villis Pilking is of course my Scandinavian expression. While jigging is good description of the actions. Although a jig is far from a pilk over here. 😉

[@nevillesax5876]

Intriguing rig on the cat in closing titles. Did you catch up with them at all to ask about it?

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Hey Neville - I believe this is a Chris White mastfoil rig. THere is some sound reasoning behind it here www.chriswhitedesigns.com/mastfoil-discussion

[@Peorhum]

So did you eat the squid too?

[@MiQBohlin]

Peorhum No, as suggested here, we could have been baiting with it. Although the smell was not that popular😉

[@Q-ey2jk]

Nice vid

[@rikstone1949]

How do you feel about free diving to 15 to 20 feet with the full face snorkel mask?

[@SailingLuckyfish]

We aren't experts on those masks but they seem like they are good for bobbing around on the surface. You can see Zaya struggling against the bouyancy of the mask in the video. Hope that helps..

[@rikstone1949]

It looks like she prefers it to the old type, as I do. I love your videos, and thanks for the info.

[@drgopta2180]

A few people have drowned to death using those snorkel full face masks.

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

MiQ the fisherman! Great video thanks so much!

[@micheldawes1]

Hello Stewart, Zara and Mick. Loved this episode and although I’m certainly no expert on fishes of the Caribbean and America’s, I believe the Cerro is also known as a ‘Bonefish’ Hopefully one of your American subscribers from Florida will be able to confirm or deny this for us, as they are a very highly sought after sport fish and are usually found on shallow sand flats and estuaries (A completely opposite habitat to where you guys caught yours!) Keep up the great work and here’s hoping Zaya becomes more and more at home in the water!

[@daved7994]

The Cerro is a type of Mackerel, it's definitely not a Bonefish, but I can see the similarity.

[@HoosierGeorge]

What king of mask is Zara using?

[@brianjoyce9742]

@Peorhum bit harsh. Why isn't there a catchy name for comments that misrepresent? "comment bait" perhaps?

[@Peorhum]

@@SailingLuckyfish I am just joking, that is why the :P which is a tongue sticking out in teasing. Good video. I look forward to your videos, keep them coming.
