In this video:
My friends arrive to key largo, Florida early morning and it was super windy. We take the boat out fishing anyways even thou the wind is blowing around 25-28 knots. We run into the wind protected bayside of key largo and fish along various mangroves for snapper.

It took us moving to a few different spots until we finally found the snapper. Fishing in the mangroves was fun, haven't done that in a while. Usually I am on the patch reef fishing. We put a good amount of mangrove snapper into the cooler and will catch clean cook them at the dock later. While we fillet fish some tarpon showed up at the dock but they weren't interested in the topwater lures we brought with us to fillet the fish.

The next day we run offshore through tavernier creek, due to the weather we don't go off the reef edge very far since the waves were beating us up. We catch some red grouper, yellowtail snapper, ballyhoo and some other fish. We caught the ballyhoo using the ballyhoop net. Love that net, the ballyhoopnet works great.

The next day we focus on spearfishing. We cruise to the reefs edge in 40-60ft of water and find some nurse sharks. I also shoot a barracuda which I use for chum and get more nurse sharks around the boat. I love swimming with the sharks.

I spearfish a mangrove snapper and clean it in the water. Scale the fish and gut it. I will eat this fish later in this catch and cook. It will be fried fish with a new seasoning a subscriber sent me.
