You wont believe what I did with my 1st fish of 2024

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Check out my Weighted snapper hooks: southfloridafishingchannel.com/products/weighted-hooks-8pk

[@mod_incllc3235]

Happy New Year Heiko! Those are nice jigs. I think the one you were using in this episode was a bit too heavy for the setup and conditions. That will often make it harder to feel the fish on the weighted jig. It will also keep certain fish from swallowing the bait whole and they tend to pick at it instead. My idea for content would be to start bringing more people out fishing with you! Old, young, experienced anglers and sometimes just random subscribers. I'm not a KZbinr but I do this here on the West coast of Florisa. Sometimes I'll meet someone at the ramp that's just shore fishing and I'll make their day by bringing them along! One time I met someone in the local tackle shop and they turned out to be an awesome friend and taught me a lot of cool stuff about fishing and I thought I knew it all. Not! Regular Live streams and maybe a meetup this year would be cool! My favorite quote from this episode "I'm Like A Pelican!" TTYS --Micky

[@JenniferNavas-ht5px]

Heiko, Stoppppp😂💀🤣😂 I'm only in this Video at 5:30min, and I can't breathe 🤣😂🤣 You are fuckin awesome, Sir 😊❤

[@LarryBenson-y3f]

It's going to be a much better year . Looking forward to more videos on your boat that's going to perform great for you.

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video man!!!! Sounds great can't wait to see all the videos!!!

[@marki2659]

Great start for the new year. Looking forward to some great videos.

[@Amicaner]

All the best for 2024 Heiko! Great insight into what baits work for you.

[@Vibrotronic]

Can’t wait for 2024 content! Keep up the great work Hicho!

[@JayKraiTs]

Great video! 2024 is promising!!

[@devyagtuca3720]

wishing you the best for 2024 hope to see you get back with Caitlyn

[@christophere5130]

Nice to see you back on the boat! Looking forward to the great fishing content ! Happy New Year everyone, be blessed!

[@Lando1214]

Awesome to see you back, brother! It's been a long two weeks! lol. Awesome video, as always!

[@lorinwhite5157]

Glad you're making videos again!

[@theodorebridges2293]

I think those weighted hooks on the bottom situate your bait so it can be taken without being caught...

[@Reeltime516]

Great to see you back out there. Helps me get through the winter on Long Island

[@brisketwizard8004]

Happy 2024 Heiko ! Long time subscriber here. I'm a saltwater fisherman in SouthEast Texas and the only things I know about fishing in the Keys, I learned from you and Dan. I will watch all your videos to the end no matter what you catch (or get skunked)!! Looking forward to some great content this year.

[@randyruney5704]

Another great video. Use a blue crab trap off your dock. I’ve caught so many different things off a relative’s beach house. Blues,stones,hermits,flounder,remoras etc. The chum from the trap may also keep the bait by your dock.

[@winstonsmith4003]

lol! There’s nothing better when the boat works!

[@FishingWithConner]

There are two days every boat owner dreams of. The day they purchase the boat, and the day that they sell it! Happy New Year Heiko. Looking forward to your 2024 adventures!

[@mrsuarez430]

I have three boats I'm fooked 😂😂😂😂

[@CNubel]

Happy New Year Heiko. I'm another of your long-time viewers. Patch Reef is always good. I always love the spearfishing videos too. Having Dan along for the ride is always a plus, but mostly, I want to see you catch a swordfish in 2024! Best of luck to you bro, I can't wait to see your new content.

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍👍❤ Heiko, have a fantastic 2024! I like and have been watching your videos for many years. Bye for now from Seattle, WA.

[@michaelgreene]

Nobody and I mean nobody tops your narration!!!

[@darelwhite5875]

Dude, I'm back on line. Tight lines, mate. Good Luck to ya! 😀

[@stephengreen9540]

happy new year brother Glad to see you’re back to your old self brother. Cheers and I can’t wait for the next video.

[@photodivainwa]

No never fail to crack me up! Hugs to you from Washington State. Thank you for your content, whether you catch a fish……or not. If you ever happen to travel out this way, I will find you someone to take you out fishing,crabbing,or digging clams..even geoducks!

[@pumpkin971]

I don't like your videos, but I rather luv it a lot. You are goofy fun and super informative and detail. Me and my wifey learning so much information from you and have some laughter's too. Happy New Year and be safe and make more entertaining and informative videos. We are so new in boating and fishing close by Port St. Lucie inlet. Can you put together a video with your experience and cost with your boat repair and maintenance. Your boat and motor just got refreshed. Your other video showed your troubles with your boat and motor. Some boaters like me are very enthusiastic in learning the cost of boat ownership and maintenance. Again be safe and always have lots of fun. More fishing tips too.

[@CoryWatson-fx7pc]

Happy New Years. Hoping for your best year yet

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

I wanna see you catch fish like you did when I first started watching your channel in 2018, 2019. You did a lot patch reef fishing then and going off shore 😊

[@bobbie7355]

Happy New Year Heiko 🥂and Elliot🐈‍⬛. And Happy New Year to all of the SFFC subscribers. Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous 2024. Kudos on karma release 🐟 Hugs from Texas 🩷🤠🩷

[@juancarlosortiz3604]

Super great ideas. Bait corral 💪 Blessings and good hopes for this new year 🙏

[@timruffner6788]

So nice to see you in a great frame of mind to start the new year with your boat running like a top! I'll be heading to Tavernier on the 12th for a few days of fishing. Best wishes, Heiko!

[@caracasgal64]

Fantastic video Heiko! Thank you for sharing your fishing adventures tips with us! Patch reef fishing idea sounds awesome💙🐠🐟

[@joshwheeler3297]

Get yourself a single decker blue crab trap to put off your dock. Blue crab traps still catch stone crabs, and do better in shallow water. Plus you’ll catch green pass crabs or blue crabs for bait.

[@perryducote3807]

Everything man! Inshore, offshore, travel. Gotta hit it hard!

[@jean-yveslefebvre6446]

Happy New Year Heiko, wish you the best to you and your Family, From Montreal.

[@juancarlosortiz3604]

Nice roar after giving the motor the good stuff 👍

[@GmanfromTexas]

Happy new year Heiko.

[@stevenfischer5392]

That great brother! Glad it's all back to normal! Fuel lines was the same on my boat. Little 2in piece lol! Ide like to see you and Dan do a Cabrera Snapper trip in the north largo wreck this summer! Full moon! Glad you got the boat going! Let's Go!!!!

[@stevenfischer5392]

P.S. A bait pen at your dock is a great idea. Feed them good, let them grow! Sebiki the baits they last longer. You need a couple lights in the water on your dock too. Bait will stack up there every night, aswell as the snook,and tarpon. Tight lines brother!

[@chriskroenert1112]

Awesome content. glad to see ya back. happy new year 🎉 🎉

[@keiths.6251]

I hope 2024 is going to be a great year for you I have good vibes for you. I sure do miss living down there but I was further down on Big Coppitt key.

[@sugarmonkeyfishingteam]

I’m with everyone else who recommended patch reef fishing trips. It’s what brought me to your channel years ago.

[@bradjones9634]

Happy New Year! I'm hoping for a good one.

[@ruthlong6876]

Happy new year to you heiko and may you have the best 2024 ever 👍🙏♥️😎🐠🦐🦀🦞🐳🐟🐬💦🌊

[@mrfixer987]

Nice to see you back. Been watching for about 4 years. Do you have any snook around you? If so would love to see a snook video.

[@ShortBusSuperStar]

Happy New Year! Great episode! Looking forward to seeing what kind of fun you get into! One of my goals this year is to fish more! And also fish with you!!! Keep slaying! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@rickshearer6359]

Congratulations man! Go for it! I hope you catch some big ole muttons!! Blue skys!!!

[@arunasv.5359]

Happy new year man 🎉 hope this year will be perfect for you 🤜🤛 keep them vids coming. 😊

[@nea273]

Wet the bumpers before backing the boat of the trailer. Will slide out easier. Do the same when putting the boat back into the trailer.

[@Whippit_ReelGood]

Such good vibes! ✌🏽🤙🏽 Pro tip...cut them pilchards into little slivers and downsize that hook and you'll catch a bunch of them little snapper.

[@marklanzer5715]

Happy new brother!!🎉🤙

[@dirtballnvegas9311]

I’ve been around since the beginning. Just start fishing again man! Get out there and make videos. They are all good!

[@kevinsloan3019]

Wishin ya the best in 2024!!!

[@francismartin67]

Look into chum for pilchards. Purina tropical fish food. Chum pilchards to your dock, castnet them and pen them up the day before you go fishing. 😉👌👍

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Baylessfishes]

Happy new year!

[@rea8755]

Actually thought you were going to break something jumping into boat with hatches wide open😂

[@JenandPen]

Love your channel and have learned so much! I want to learn more so please make more instructional videos to help us newbie’s.😁

[@marker27outdoors52]

Love your stuff Maybe involve your fans more by having a few fans go fishing with you every couple months a year

[@foxiepoxi9245]

Good to see you are back at it! I've always ben attracted to guys with longer hair. But seeing you with your hat off and wind whipping your hair full throttle made me feel free! Bring on the catch n cooks plzzz. I am enjoying your recipes & would love to see some cooking colabs. Take it easy, & if it's easy, take it twice lol. Cheers!

[@nells3171]

New year Haiko you need more than one rod on the boat lol 😂 tackle box wouldn’t hurt either, you never know what you gonna find out there 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@wegottafishdude]

27:43 Gotta love that Miami Vice stuff

[@rionsmith8355]

Wish this would turn back into a fishing channel

[@chrisclark8599]

Happy New Year Heiko. We are in Marathon for the week lets go fishing😊

[@johnogo7886]

I just subscribed to start watching your channel for the first time in 2024.

[@joeyret.617]

Big kingfish are at 90ft which is just a mile SE from you.

[@KennySnook-fishing]

Great content!

[@mikelove6417]

Heiko, you're really missing out. You need to get a spot lock trolling motor. you'll never want to mess with an anchor again.

[@joerobles7703]

You have one beautiful boat😮😮 I wish you good luck this year on your videos

[@grimreaper2843]

Can you do some bridge content fishing around Florida's biggest Bridges with your boat see what you could catch please and thank you ps love the videos in the content that you make as well keep it going

[@MrCrumbbum]

I've been here for I think over three years I remember when u barely had 1000 subscribers me my kids and my wife always gave enjoyed watching your videos. My dad and myself comment on how your luck and the way you are is like us lol it's great keep up the good work

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Wow back at 1000 subs!!! That must have been 6--7 years ago =) Thanks for all the support

[@MrCrumbbum]

ya my dad got me on to you and then I was busy for cpl years and been solid 3 years I've been watching again

[@MrCrumbbum]

your the most relatable chill dude on KZbin never give up

[@franksmith137]

At least your good at feeding fish hope you have a good year

[@NEIL812]

Patch reef is always a good time and at least 1 time Bahamas trip.

[@mrsuarez430]

Great vid man I haven't gon out in two months 😢Winter in south Florida is when I work on my boat, trailer and truck to get ready for spring hey BTW you kinda only need to drop the anchor

[@alcatrazrider]

frohes neues Jahr Heiko.

[@alanwheeler]

Dude! You seriously need a trolling motor with anchor function. You’ll never throw an anchor again except at the sand bar. Nice video! Tight lines!

[@michaelnorton1002]

Try some Liquid Roller on those trailer bunks. Boat will slide right off

[@shaggyguides]

I have a minn kota trolling motor on my boat and it works really well when anchoring. You should check it out.

[@carlosramos-gn3df]

Dude, we've in in key largo since 89. I think we are neighbors. For real

[@johndang7847]

The engine sound great brother

[@jeffroberts4788]

Heiko your going to to need some more chain and anchor rope might look up the recommend for your depth and boat size. if my spelling is bad you should see my reading

[@TheDrummergirl33]

Karma fishing , oh yea buddy . Nice snapper . At least it didn’t storm on you 😂. Glad the boat is running good . 🎉Happy New Year

[@henryteague8296]

I really enjoy your fishing

[@carrierezgui9218]

'I've been rascaled! Lol😂😂

[@CRCov]

2024 I want to see you slay a swordfish. Happy new year brother

[@Fairplayer43]

Excellent señor!!!😊

[@dennisburns390]

Love the release. Good start of the new year. I thought we were the only guys that this shit happen s to

[@josebetancourt1800]

Bro your awsome.. I'm gonna try go down to key largo soon

[@mikehardy1202]

Next time tie a loop in rop so that way you can unlaso it and drop the tailgate am only 5.6 so it definitely helps

[@centralFloridaoutdoors85]

That's why i fish with Circle Hooks, the fish will hook themselves 90 percent of the time

[@georgequinn5762]

Some Kayaking up in the panhandle, never seen you fish our area

[@john_rocks_jax]

36v trolling motor anchor anywhere in the ocean. Maybe with the new boat.

[@vincentsmyth3588]

Can you target sails?

[@garyritterstrings]

Only thing better than owning a Boat is to know someone who owns a Boat. I am bringing my ActionCraft 1720 Fly Fisher Boat to the Everglades again this winter.

[@scottsundstrom3529]

I'd love to hear more about your evinrude outboard. How have you liked it so far? I see a lot of loud people online that were not happy with theirs.

[@MrBmcgraw]

Bro! You need to put XD100 in that rude!!! Have it programmed for that oil. It’s sooo much better for those Evinrudes!!! I run a 250hp Rude on mine and that’s all I run. She purrs like a kitten!
