Night Time Patch Reef Fishing | Key Largo Catch N Cook

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

[@castlehill6717]

[@jayvanhouwe2132]

Great vid! Thanks for your channel.Your living the dream life.

[@pierodeberti2607]

You're a Legend! Keep the good work. Loving the videos :) I wish I had a boat lol

[@balloqui73]

Great vid, like always!!! Keep on fishing!!

[@russellkrenek7406]

Never been deep sea fishing,looks like so much fun.never caught snapper or yellow tail or anything,always red and black drum,flounder and trout and shark

[@CPolk6]

Give you another tip. Instead of using a 3 lb weight on your trolling lures, use 3 one pound weights. Put a plastic squid rig on the weights, making a "daisy chain". Of course, spread them out by a few feet. Put your lure at the end of course. Works much better

[@davidacevedo8620]

Beautiful snapper.

[@froggleggers1805]

You're becoming a pro at it now.

[@GmulderMedia]

nice video heiko as always. it looks like your freezer is full again. LOL

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

yes it is! I still have a nice amount of swordfish i'll be smoking soon for fish dip! Yummy

[@GmulderMedia]

South Florida Fishing Channel mmm nice it is that I live on the other side of the big pond otherwise I would have come along for a piece of swordfish. never eaten but very curious how it tastes

[@Haydentheangler232]

Great video!

[@GDanielCho]

You should do a quick roll in flour before u fry it up! It really helps to keep the fish together and browns it up real nice!

[@SeaSquatchFishing]

Nice box of fish!

[@vader2042]

I wish you would try them fried whole with French fries. I tend to never fillet snappers unless it’s a mutton that’s to big for the fryer.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

sounds like I need to get a deep fryer!

[@vader2042]

South Florida Fishing Channel I promise you that you will not be disappointed. I don’t like crying whole yellow tail just because they have like a mushy feel. But 100% on whole mangroves with fries. Mangroves are the best when fried whole bro 👍🏼

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

What deep fryer do you use?

[@vader2042]

South Florida Fishing Channel I bought a propane fish fryer from bass pro shops and it comes with a pot. Lowe’s also has one. You can fit a 3 average sized mangroves in it. Or you can buy an electric one from Walmart

[@daka200126]

You can also pan fry on an iron skillet. Put enough oil to almost cover the fish.

[@JeffGoering]

Good luck on the Wahoo!

[@dt_tx4409]

Love your videos man! Good luck!

[@DMFM4744]

Love this channel

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

Nice fishing spot there.

[@texgrouper7825]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@CuongPham-yd9vq]

By the way Happy New Year to you n 1 good healthy, catch lot of fishs, post lot of shows for world to watch!!!! You n your brother business growth more customers!!! I m from Dfw, TEXAS. I'm love fishing every chance that I have, that any ride that I can come with but all fresh water, I do some time go to New Orleans with family and friends for snapper n yellow tails, cobia I love fishing!!!! Thanks for taking to me!!!

[@joshkoenigsmann6335]

New drinking game, every time dude says, "juicy" take a drink. Lol Cool video man.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

now there's an idea hah

[@averagenative]

Hey Heiko, it looks like your knives could use a sharpen! I like the chef's choice knife sharpeners. I personally use their 320 model and their 316 for asian knives model. Super quick to get a new edge or just rehone.

[@nathangagnon4950]

I don’t know why you get disappointed about catching a grunt, try one they taste close to a mangrove. They don’t have a limit and they are easy to clean.

[@heathgreenbaum1303]

Hey Heiko, love watching your videos... The snapper you released at about 12 minutes is a mahogany snapper, have to be 12".

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Good info thanks, dang he was way over 12" heh oh well! Cheers

[@saltlifejacob]

The fish you threw back was a nice mahogany snapper best snapper to eat

[@doloahcnig5231]

All the way from new Zealand bro 😂 awesome video love it

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

You're a ways away!

[@briantreco2371]

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

[@zacklennard2925]

[@giabgucc2696]

[@javierlabarta8253]

[@gimmysola9553]

[@outdoorlife8549]

Love the video

[@pitangwb668]

I'm very enjoy your video.. That's my favorite fishing style.. Tomorrow i'm go to 3 day fishing trip too.. Hope i have same result..

[@ResentedSquid]

Fish at 11:40 is a Lane Snapper. Nice videos keep it up brotha!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

someone told me it's a mahogany snapper. Thanks

[@jamaijohnson362]

that fish at 11:47 is a mahogany snapper taste similar to yellowtail not sure what the rules are in Florida but on the Caribbean island of dominica we eat them alot btw great vids I really enjoy them

[@taylorbusche6415]

U should keep the rock hind. No size limit and super good eating

[@thetruth3290]

Buy yourself a food saver before you freezerburn all those beautiful filets

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

heiko,i kinda thought when you were putting those new lights on the boat it wasn't for nothing,

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I'll be installing even more lights now! The more the better!

[@rayward3835]

I never leave the dock without a blue and white Islander!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

i'll be trolling one tomorrow! Back on the hunt for wahoo

[@Strawmanization]

Amen, my go to wahoo lure!

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Well done

[@eliohernandez01]

Are you sure the fish at 25:00 is a schoolmaster and not a dog snapper? I noticed its got that white streak mark running vertically under its eye and I don't think schoolmasters have that mark under their eye. I could be wrong though I'm not too sure. They both look VERY similar.

[@TheWiteshark]

bad-ass dude liked the intro

[@swfloridareeladdiction8129]

Another great video Heiko. How is running the boat at night for you?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

slightly sketchy, but i'm installing a running light too now. Should be good after that!

[@juanrubio6411]

At 9:21 that was a dog snapper not a schoolmaster, great eats either way nice vid👍🏻

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

good tip thanks, how the heck do you tell the difference?

[@kevingroff1416]

It’s a dog bc the tear drop under his eye

[@max__taks]

That was Lutjanus mahogoni or Mahogany Snapper. Nice catch!

[@haydenstarr8066]

At 10 thousand subs you should do something cool and gets you the chills like build a rig to catch those giant warsaw grouper that you talked about the last vid. Like if you agree so hikeo can see it. Great vids man keep up the good work

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Hopefully i'll be doing that before I hit 10k subs =) Thanks man! I do need to think of something cool thou hmmm

[@haydenstarr8066]

The way your growing on this channel is fast it'll be here before any of us know it we better think fast!!!!!!!!

[@kayakjohn9665]

I want fish at night, this Spring and Summer and Fall and Winter. I had my best catch last week it was my 6th time out. Still learning. I put a uploaded a few minutes unedited. Now I need to work on Camera Skills

[@super_steven_1776]

14:55 you got sharked boy!

[@JamesWright1955]

mahogany snapper, not real common. nice mangs and good yellowtails . you are inspiring me to go out on some night trip.

[@dougknowlesjr7942]

@south florida fishing channel- What's the deal with the oats for yellowtail? Is just extra chum?

[@michaelhaskell7421]

mutton lookalike was I believe a Mahogany snapper and the other one was a Dog snapper.

[@johnwoods5206]

We're catching 19inch Mangies all in 3 to 5ft of water in the bay

[@reynaldobalisi9008]

Power bro

[@drewheatherly9845]

Was that small, red fish that was seen for a second after you paid the taxman, a squirrelfish?

[@ronaldwilks1003]

I must my man you have the life wish I could fish all the time in that water I did just catch the fish that won the rod n reel rockfish tournament 48 1/2 48 .12 lb If you don’t mind me asking what do you do for a living Also what is kind and length of your boat seems to handle the ocean pretty good So when are you inviting me down to fish with you seems like you fish alone a lot

[@reinierpereira2496]

Hey man love your videos, btw that snapper at minute 24:40 isnt a school master. It was a dog snapper

[@reelpressurefishing]

It was a mahogany snapper they have to be 12in

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks, too bad we could have kept him, but we caught plenty of other fish so it's all good!

[@saleen12]

What do you guys do for a living? Awesome videos, amazing gear and boat

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

software development and marketing/advertising

[@saleen12]

South Florida Fishing Channel very nice! I was hoping you would say bitcoin millionaires, either way living the dream!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Haha no I wish! I did make some money off btc accidentally thou. But not much

[@ajpaterson]

Where did you buy your chum bag? Haven’t been able to find one in Key Largo

[@ellenmorgan6923]

Nice school master

[@johnjames2716]

Instead of water, mix some menhaden oil/milk in your oats. Does way better on drawing them in

[@jamesfreddyc]

I wonder how many empty boxes of chum have been chucked into that aft compartment? :)

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

way too many lol

[@jamesfreddyc]

heh

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Did you keep the Schoolmaster Snapper?

[@Bobbykirk100]

Whats the deal with the sharks are they any good to eat???

[@ricardomarin358]

The snapper that looked like a mutton and a red snapper is called a vermilion snapper

[@reopened9482]

did a shark get you? wheres a video D: i'm learning from this because I am going to islamorada, florida for like 2 weeks with my buds. so trying to get an idea of how to fish there. if you could, please message me some tips or something xD thanks

[@954dee]

1st one you thought was a mutton was a huge lane snapper

[@jeromynall6478]

dre day no

[@sonjabologna61]

Next time you have that many fish to clean, use an electric filet knife. Much better than carpal tunnel syndrome. You don't need an official one either. Just pick up an old one at a garage sale and get cuttin'.

[@jeremyanderson9650]

Can you tell me what set up you use for snapper fishing

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

It's shown in the video. 1 oz weight on the braid line to a swivel. Which connects to 3 feet or so of 20-30# clear mono to a circle hook.

[@codym2903]

New subscriber here, do you ever make your own chum blocks?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

hey man, no I don't. i used to 3 years ago but my shredder broke.

[@LANDWHALEX]

Next time u go night fishing for snapper try dropping down a goggle eye sabiki, best live bait there is

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

ok. Do you mean to catch google eye with a sabiki and then use the google eye for bait? Thanks!

[@LANDWHALEX]

+South Florida Fishing Channel yes, best live bait there is for sailfish and wahoo other the bullet Bonita

[@LANDWHALEX]

South Florida Fishing Channel there should giants schools of them mixed in with the snapper

[@geraldpaul1870]

Hey bro I would love to go fishing and diving for lobster with you one day

[@derrickschafer]

Were you guys anchored or drifting?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

anchored. You can see us throw the anchor before we start fishing the reefs edge =)

[@eddospartan4131]

I can't believe you threw back the best tasting snapper in the ocean! Its a mahgany snapper! Smh.good job though👍

[@ajpaterson]

And I believe that mystery fish was a mahogany snappy

[@albertoloyola1685]

Hey bud I been watching your videos for a while now. Ive watched all of them. And I love em. I have a boat not as nice as yours but it's a boat. Just wanted to give you some input. I'm not sure what prop you have. Seems to me like it's aluminum? Is so you might want consider getting a SS prop better fuel economy more speed and more control of the boat. Make sure you get it with the the same measurements. Buy it used at your local Marine thrift shops, Craigslist, or offerup. Just my 2 cents. To help you save money on the long run. Tight lines and keep on 🎣.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

thanks for the info, i'll check em out

[@albertoloyola1685]

No problem bud. Just one friendly boater to another. Maybe we'll see each other on the water one day. I normally go out of Biscayne National Park. Planning on going out near you soon.

[@BuckRaeder]

Fuel economy, speed and boat control isn't determined by what the prop is made of. Different pitch of your prop will control all of those.

[@albertoloyola1685]

Buck Raeder I'm not sure where your getting this info from but aluminum tends to flex or open up under pressure. There for causing the motor to rev up in rpms. As to SS is more solid so it doesn't tend to flex or open up as much. My boat for example weighs 2000lbs dry. 19 ft by 8.6 ft Donzi. I bought with a 150hp Evinrude. It came with a aluminum prop. My boat topped out at 28mph on good day. With the aluminum prop. When I turned on high speeds the prop would start to cavitate. Also my gph was 7-9 When I changed it to My TURNING POINT SS PROP I gained 12 mph 40mph in total. No more cavitating on turns. And at the same speed of 28-30 I was doing 4-5 gph.

[@albertoloyola1685]

Buck Raeder Ask any pro if a aluminum prop will ever out perform a SS prop.

[@yamahapeanut44]

How do the manatees keep from getting hit?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

we just drive in idle in the marina. manatees are surprisingly fast when they want to move. They have plenty of time to get out of the way. I've never come close to hitting one here

[@stevenbass8674]

With all the frozen chum blocks you use why waste those carcasses when you could be using them to make your own frozen chum?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I actually bought a wood chipper for carcasses but it broke haha. Yea I need to get on the chum game.

[@amd051206]

i love your videos so much and i made my own youtube channel

[@Puceter]

By the way that was a dog snapper, not a schoolmaster!

[@taylorbusche6415]

I believe that was a mahogany snapper

[@WilliamHowardAlloway]

Hey heiko, I hope your not trolling any faster than 10-15knts for wahoo. Thanks Bill Alloway

[@Puceter]

Must be nice to have money! lol

[@windowclean100]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@igotatan1]

"I cant tell if it's a small fish.... SET THE HOOK, and then you can....circle hook, or not, Setting the hook, YOU will know.
