Great video Heath, certainly the best YT info I have found. Heading to Keys mid May and will put to use. Live in Venice FL and have done grouper/ red snapper way offshore. Also fished extensively in SoCal for calico and sand bass and the "other yellowtail" as well as some overnight tuna trips out of San Diego. I have the mahi techniques down pretty good and we will do that but really looking forward to YT as my fishing newbies might get bored chasing the mahi!

Yellowtail bite should be good then... 60 to 70 feet deep.. you need current and chum... that completes the equation. No current don't bother.. no chum, you're gonna fish for grunts all day

Thank you Heath for another great video. This was a very good explanation of how to fish for yellowtail. The best thing is that you genuinely share without reservation what works and you explain in detail the rigging, baiting, chumming and positioning of your boat. I've been fishing for years and I always pick up something new from you that works. The knots and leader length to me was new. I've always used the chartreuse jig with flouro leader with a simple surgeon knot however thanks for sharing your method and knots used. I will surely try it soon. Also, I noticed you only use a Chum bag. I've always used both a Chum bag and I make a bucket of chum slop with one block of Chum, play sand, oats and menhaden oil. I'd like to hear your opinion on how important the slop is compared to just the bag of chum. Thanks

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks a million for watching and leaving an awesome heartfelt comment. To answer your question about chumming is rather simple... If you overfeed them, they will leave. You want just enough snacks in the water to make them want more... more chum does not equal more fish, but it can attract sharks. So, either way works spooning out a mixture of oats, chum and sand mixture is what I did for years and it worked great... somewhere along the line I grew out of it, or maybe got lazy and just started throwing out a chum block and got the same results. Hope this answers your question. Be safe out there. Tight lines & take care :)

Thanks for the video, i learn a lot with you. I'm a begginer in saltwater fishing. In other theme. What rod, reel and line do you recommend to me to troll rapalas magnums 30 and 40? Thanks!

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

Thanks for and leaving a great comment & question. For a Rapala magnum 30 or 40 i would go with a light to heavy conventional rod and reel set up... As it will put a good amount of tension on your line as you are under way... I personally have an x-rap 40 that I troll and I use a Penn international 30 spooled with 30 pound test and a short 10 foot 60 pound test leader... My speed is around 8 knots to get it diving down between 30 and 40 feet. Hope this helps. Take care, tight lines & stay healthy :)

Thanks for the great instructional. My only question is, would it be faulty to use a double uni knot to tie the leader to the main line instead of a spider hitch?

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. I stay away from uni to uni as a splice point. That application is very abrasive and can snap on either side of the knot as it will cut itself through the line. If you're know into the spider hitch to no-name knot, I recommend going with a blood knot, this threads your line together instead of tying 2 knots together. Here's a link to a video I made on how to tie a blood knot if you're interested in it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZqij81xfrqzZM4.html Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel.

Great informative video, when you do "tips Thuuuuursday" and the 1-2-3 fingers, you remind my of childhood idol hacksaw Jim Duggan. LOL. Question: Anchoring! What anchor you use for yellowtail? I heard it is illegal to anchor on the reef? Or frawn upon? A few days ago I went to the mooring buoy south of Pompano Pier, it's only 20ft. I had many Lane snappers but yellowtail were undersize. Next time I would want to try lighthouse ledge north of Hillsboro inlet. But where, how to anchor not to arm the coral reef.

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

2 жыл бұрын

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The bigger yellowtail are in 60 to 70 feet. You can anchor out there no problem. You're gonna need 2 things for yellowtail.... #1 you need current... #2 you need chum. My favorite baits are silversides and sardines. I think north of Hillsboro inlet is better. The rodeo area just to the south is too crowded. Good luck. Hope this helps.

hey Heath ,im not sure if i missed it , but what is the best size floro leader for the yellow tales, friday i hit one of the reefs out of palm beach amd hooked 4 of them i was using 20lb, thinking of down sizing to 15lb . what do you think

Thanks a million watching and leaving some stellar feedback. So, when I go out for snapper, I'm about 3/4 to a mile off shore. The best yellowtailing is done between 50 and 90 feet... my favorite depth is approximately 65 feet. If you don't have a fish finder, the best way to get into the correct depth is head out until you can barely no longer see the bottom and you're there. On the same note, tomorrow night at 5:00pm, I am releasing an episode where I go yellowtail fishing, most definitely what you're looking for... you see how close to shore I am. Thanks for supporting the channel. Be careful out there. Tight lines & take care :))))

Great video. One question: why the rig for Yellowtail it has to be SOOOO complicated? Anything this rig do that helps catch them? I don’t get it.

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. I've been using this rig for almost 3 decades. It is my "go to" rig for yellowtail fishing. If broken down to it's most basic components it's not that complicated. First, is the jig, you're simply adding a trailer hook to it. Next, is the leader being tied on to the main line, here is probably where the confusion lies. I'd rather use a line to line attachment, than a swivel. Less hardware will increase your hook-up ratio. and then attaching the jig to your leader is one of the most basic knots around, the clinch knot. You can always , go without the leader and attach your jig straight to the mainline. This might decrease your hook-up ratio slightly, but it will still work. Adding the fluorocarbon leader gives your presentation a more stealthy natural look, as yellowtail have excellent eyesight and auditory sensing. Hope this helps. Thanks again for you support of the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)

Is using a swivel from mono to floro not recommended?

@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks a boat load for watching and asking a great question. Persoanlly, when going for yellowtail, or any snappper, I'd shy away from as much hardware as possible. They have keen eyesight and hearing, and can be spooked easily by unnatural anomalies in thier surroundings. However, if you are uncomfortable with making the line to line connections, a small swivel will get the job done. It decrease your hook up ratio some, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. The line to line connections are all part of fishing and learning the craft. If you take the process and break it down to it's most simplest components step-by-step, it's not overwhelming. Once you've done it a few time, it'll become second nature, and you'll never look back. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)

Will that knot go thru your guides?

Thanks a million fir watching and asking a good question... The answer is most definitely... I've used the spider hitch & no-name knot combo for over 20 years...
