Pescatarian Fishing | Captain Pedro Rodriguez

Hello and welcome to Pescatarian Fishing. My name is Captain Pedro Rodriguez and I am a licensed USCG captain. I operate a charter fishing and commercial fishing boat and create content to inspire our viewers to get out on the water with their friends and family, educate them on how to catch fish, use their electronics and have a safe boating experience and lastly entertain our viewers through our own personal fishing videos.

We believe that everyone deserves creating long lasting memories on the water. Whether you want to book a charter with us or gain confidence and inspiration from our how to and educational videos, my passion is to create more fishermen and fisher women and get more families on the water to create their own memories!

Thank you for stopping by, viewing and subscribing. Your support helps us make our dream a reality!

    Thank you very much! This year for the stone crab season, I am going to try and record more to show the viewers about stone crabbing in Florida. We are almost exclusive with stone crab here in Florida but it’s tough to record because we have very rough seas in the winter here. Lots of saltwater on the cameras and microphones.

    Great demonstration. Thank you! Do you prefer to rig your Mahi belly bait fresh, vacuum and freeze it or freeze the mahi belly, rig the bait right before the swordfish fishing trip?

  • @pescatarianfishing
    @pescatarianfishing9 күн бұрын

    The honest answer is that by the time I get back from fishing and clean the fish and the boat I’m exhausted. I separate them and vacuum seal them and then I rig it and freeze them again. I have never had an issue with it but I would imagine the baits will stay fresher if you don’t thaw them out and refreeze them but you won’t have any issues freezing them and rigging them when you are going to fish or a day when you have time to rig a few baits and vacuum seal them. It is very important that you do vacuum seal them when you catch them and when you rig them. That will make a big difference versus not vacuum sealing them.

    Really like this series very informative…should do something on buying/financing boat purchase….boat prices are very high even for a 27” boat almost as much as a house. Not sure if there is anything there but never bought a new boat pros vs cons with new or used boats

  • @pescatarianfishing
    @pescatarianfishing15 күн бұрын

    Thanks for the support! Boat prices are ridiculous right now and it takes forever to get a new build from any manufacturer because everyone has wait lines so you have to give your deposit to hold your place in the line. Buying a new boat, while expensive is nice because you get to design it the way you want for the fishing application that you do. Buying a used boat can be tricky because you have no idea what that boat has been through from a maintenance prospective and any accidents. I have seen boats that people have purchased with hull damage that was patched up and they didn’t know when they purchased it. Ocean Runner is the manufacturer that built my boat and they have been in business in Miami for over 30 years. Excellent boat, and very affordable compared to the big name brands. They make a 24, a 29 and are starting in a 34.

    You are welcome. Just trying to help the viewers because this is such a difficult decision when buying your electronics for the boat. The last thing you want is to spend all that money and then be unhappy with what you purchased. The other thing that is important is knowing all of the different settings and what they do because it can make a world of difference in your image. We have a video showing the shift feature. This is what we use when we are sword fishing and we can mark the squid on the bottom in 1500 feet. I am now working on a video to go through all of the sonar settings one by one to show the viewers exactly what it does. This way everyone knows and can tailor their unit to the fishery they are doing. I should be done with that one in a few weeks. I have several videos that I’m working on at once. That video will be a huge help also. 👍

    No fishing lingo, they are actual birds. The fish in the ocean are chasing bait to eat and they will push the bait balls to the surface, then the birds out there who are also chasing the bait fish to eat can dive down on the bait fish at the surface and eat them. So if you find the birds, you will find the fish.

When we get a big sword that doesn’t fit in the front box we slide it in the blanket and fill it with ice. From the sword grounds to my house is about an hour and a half to two hours and when we get home the swordfish is ice cold.

    Capt. this is a timely video considering the sea plane (aka float plane) and boat accident up in Coal Harbour located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Saturday, June 8, 2024. Many are discussing if the sea plane was required to give way to the boat and how the rules of navigation apply between the two very different types of vessels. Check out Commercial and General Aviation Pilot Juan Browne on the Blancoliro YT channel for his assessment of the accident. He gives a good summary of the accident from a pilot's perspective and poses great questions to mariners regarding navigating rules of the road on water as that's beyond his area of expertise. As always, excellent content.

    Hi captain Pedro I just bought a used garmin reactor 40 SBW for Volvo penta with joystick/stern drives . After install I can’t get threw the first step in the dockside wizard. Every time I try and hit the button on my GHC 20 left or right to steer the outdrives I get a message on my ghc 20-“autopilot controller lost” . If I turn my steering wheel manually left or right on the same setup page I see the little diamond icon move as I’m turning the wheel. Also in my EVC D system/display in settings under “installed steering component” it now shows up that autopilot is there. The instruction diagram doesn’t show anything about connecting the Volvo penta autopilot gateway so I didn’t install that. Is there something I’m missing? Should I just skip dockside and go to sea trail? I hope you can help I’m totally stumped. Thanks
