Love and appreciate your wrk and ur videos Capt Mike

[@fishingegypt8882]

Hello captain Please we need an episode about tides, wind and moon phase in respect to fishing

[@SoFloCamejo]

Ahh, this is the type of fishing I grew up doing! Awesome episode definitely some modern day nostalgia lol

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Venomous villain Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@namepending8587]

"Taste like a redfish" nice one

[@sonny.1009]

Hello Captain Mike,we went 60 miles off Naples last month, got to our destination at 8:00 pm and fished into the night, 120 feet of water on a huge wreck. Every single drop we got absolute flag yellowtails, as we had a weight scale, anything under 2.5 went back into the water and got our limit on yellowtails with plenty of 3 pounders, biggest wound up at 4.5, we got everything from huge yellowtails to weird sharks, a few slob mangroves, picked off a fat mutton in the morning just as we woke up, a 300 pound goliath, and the best part- 6 permit at 2 am with crabs we netted, all 20-30 pounders on a Shimano Stradic Ci4+ 2500. That, my friend, is a fight i will never forget! Also, I'm purchasing a Chaos offshore spinning rod with cool engraved marks ion the rod. Thanks!

[@KayakFrank]

Nice fun nightime fishing episode Capt's. Great tips as always. Thx.

Another great job guys. Tight lines and God bless!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks Joe, stay in touch. - Capt Mike

[@bradmundies425]

I don't think a commercial every 3 minutes was often enough, should try to add in a few more...maybe try once every 30 second, that should do the trick!

[@senseios8980]

Nice video! Awesome meeting you at the ft lauderdale boat show of 2016 👍🏻

[@FloridaSportFishing]

[@fishinghuntinggamingthewes7206]

send my best regards cap.mike from cozumel mexico

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Javier Ceballos 10-4!

[@UGSavemejebus]

Great video, Mike. Did you guys run north to Boca? I find the yellowtail action somewhat better there than around Hillsboro (last Friday night notwithstanding, when we had an engine die on us and had to cut our anchor off due to getting it jammed up in something - not our most productive night ha).

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Dan D These things happen, stick with it and get back in the game. - Capt Mike

[@264chiton]

nice tips thanks

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Javier Ceballos Thank you.

[@glenn9062]

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+glenn go Did you get 'em? - Capt Mike

[@glenn9062]

+Florida Sport Fishing Yes 8 nice flags, thanks

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+glenn go Awesome!

[@raduf1758]

Another great video, Cpt.Mike can you show in one video how you tie the hook please I've seen in one of your videos you did less than 20 seconds....

[@FloridaSportFishing]

thank you for watching, we'll certainly try and cover knot tying in greater detail moving forward.

[@xmask321]

What kind of setup do you have to power all of the lights and electronics? Do you have a separate isolated circuit for accessories that won't interfere with the ability to start the engines, or do you use separate external batteries?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+xmask321 We have five batteries aboard our SeaVee 370Z, three starting batteries for each of the three outboards and two house batteries that all of the electronics/lights, etc run off of. Additionally we have a parallel switch, so even if both house batteries die, and two of the three starting batteries die, as long as I have one charged starting battery I can fire up all of the motors and recharge the entire system. Pretty awesome! Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@JamesWright1955]

very informative.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+James Wright Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@JamesWright1955]

my wife wants me to take her night fishing because of this video. cool .. she is afraid of JAWS , but the more she is educated the better our trips can be Yes ?

[@harrisonthrasher55]

Heading down to key west soon...how is the fishing for yellow ails down there during the day? Most likely will not be doing any night time fishing. Should i use the same rigs and techniques?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Yellowtail fishing in Key West is solid. Best to fish with a light 12-20 lb class spinner with a long 12 or 15 lb leader. They can be very line shy. A small jighead tipped with fresh strip or shrimp is excellent. - Capt Mike

[@gsujeff55]

what are your thoughts on yellowtail up Capt Mike? Heading down to islamorada in june and want to have the best chance for my kids to reel in some of these fellas. I have only trolled for pelagics on my previous trips to keys.

[@gsujeff55]

Thanks Capt. What's your favorite Jighead for the yellowtail?

[@pnfishing6382]

U guys are awesome would love to fish with u some time

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Patrick Bradley Thank you.

[@tiaanbarnard6039]

Hello Mike , nice video. What is your opinion on the Shimano Saragosa , and what size would you choose for shallow to deep jigging and popping , will be spooling up with 75lbs braid with a diameter of 0.35mm. i am deciding between a 10000 and 20000

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Tiaan Barnard Where are you fishing, locally here in Florida? If so, I would stick with 50 lb braid and go with the 10000. - Capt Mike

[@tiaanbarnard6039]

+Florida Sport Fishing Thanks for the reply . I am fishing Mozambique , and South Africa . For everything from bottomfish , to yellowfin and dogtooth tuna . I am looking for an all around reel if you have suggestions?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Tiaan Barnard Oh in that case, stick with something larger with more line capacity.

[@tiaanbarnard6039]

I am thinking of buying the daiwa saltist STT5000 for 75lb braid . I saw it first on your videos , and was realy impressed with it , ond of its cheap price . What are your thoughts on it ?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Tiaan Barnard No, you will not be able to apply enough drag pressure for 75 lb braid, stick with 40 or 50 lb. braid on that reel or step it up to a Daiwa ISLA7000 for 75 lb braid.

[@TimCrewsDrummer]

capt Mike question with the moon phases which moon do you follow for day time fishing?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Im not anal like that, I always make a mental note of moon phase but I say fish when you can fish. Don't ever cancel or postpone a trip because you think its the wrong moon phase. Sometimes thats when the best catches are made. - Capt Mike

[@TheBarred123]

cool video

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Grimes Clark Thank you. - Capt Mike

[@giovannivillasana6123]

There is so many wrecks in fl out of Hillsboro how do u know which ones are holding these types of fish?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Adrenaline loose Trial and error and also depth. When we're targeted yellowtails, I prefer to fish 65 to 120 ft. - Capt Mike

[@sg0310]

+Adrenaline loose I'd say just go out an fish it, try cut bait but throw down some livies for grouper and large snapper

[@SailTheSaddle]

I fish 2-3 times a week out of Port Everglades and ive had some tough luck. Are there any nearby locations or tips you can give me to put some fish in my ice chest?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Chase Cook What sort of species are you looking to catch? - Capt Mike

[@SailTheSaddle]

+Florida Sport Fishing any of the Pelagic species that people would typically eat, Kings, blackfin, wahoo, dolphin. I usually troll a 4 line spread with different color feathers. About 4-6 inches

[@gsujeff55]

+Chase Cook For dolphin, i like to look for weed lines and troll them. You can usually pick up some nice ones. If you do hook one, keep it in the water behind the boat and throw a couple chunks of cut bait back toward the fish. The schoolie dolphin will start eating like mad men. Have some rigs ready on spinning gear to toss back and you can load up on dolphin quickly. Wahoo are a tougher target, but typically hang over structure or big ledges. Always be on the look out for temp breaks in the water as this holds both types of fish as well. 6-8mph.

[@cameronginsberg4864]

Was this the first reef or second off pompano?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

65-75 ft. - Capt Mike

[@reelguy8856]

Capt. Mike, I caught some of the same fish Capt Carlos caught the toro fish today, but people are telling me they are poisonous. On your show you guys say they are very good eating. I'm just trying to make sure they are safe to eat. Can you please clarify this for me? Thank you and huge fan of the show.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

safe to eat and very tasty. there are similar looking bottom fish that you should avoid, but toro snapper are perfectly fine.

[@corazonerocubano]

Just caught two last week for the first time. Delicious

[@jfishization]

My experience with yellows in Keys, dead shrimp, like catching pinfish...then aying 20.00 a plate to eat the lil bastards....I sent the plate back. Not excited about porgies...Florida native.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks for watching, please stay in touch. New episodes start July 1. - Capt Mike

[@loganbrower3445]

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Logan Brower shop.floridasportfishing.com

[@jesseknight318]

All hail the toro King!! Lol

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Right, it was ridiculously funny. - Capt Mike

[@corazonerocubano]

Florida Sport Fishing to tell you the truth, the ones I caught tasted similar or better than yellowtail. Two big white fillets delicious!

[@fishinghuntinggamingthewes7206]

To eat

[@hoourdaddy4388]

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Hoo UrDaddy "Googans," thats awesome, thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@josedlombardo6258]

Way to many adds. Eliminate the adds and the video is awesome.

[@guillermomateo2744]

BLA BLA BL shouters

[@mactownsend2890]

Isn't that dangerous, probably illegal to turn off all lights and fish/anchor/hangout in total darkness? If not illegal, I would still be concerned someone would crash into me and who would blame them... they couldn't see me.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Mac Townsend I should have been clearer, it is illegal to turn off all of your navigation lights and fish in the pitch black, plus its dangerous. The anchor light should always remain on when on the hook, no matter what. - Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@lazarofarinas7243]

Less commercials pleas.
