In this video:
I go to the key largo fisheries to load up on some chum and frozen google eye which we will use as cut bait. Then I ride to Dans house where his boat is in the water. We load up the boat and head through Adams cut and out of the John Pennekamp state park.
I fish a lot more south of Key Largo, more the tavernier area so i'm pretty excited to try some new grounds. We start by anchoring up in shallow 15ft water and chum with hopes of cathing live ballyhoo. Soon the ballyhoo arrive and I catch some. Dan catches a bunch of Ballyhoo his net!
We catch tons of snapper. Some yellowtail snapper, some mutton snapper. We also caught a handful of grouper, too bad they are out of season! There's also a few other species mixed into the fish we were catching. I'll be whole frying one of these yellowtail snapper in this catch and cook.
We troll some ballyhoo along the reef and you would not believe what we hooked into in 20ft of water while trolling. It blew my mind! Then we run off the edge of the reef and troll more hoping to get a wahoo or tuna.
After trolling offshore we anchor up in 55ft of water off the reefs edge and start bottom fishing again. We catch a fat grouper. 2 actually. And even a moray eel and a few other things. More snapper of course. I'm ready for this catch n cook, i'm pretty hungry let's head back in!
In this catch and cook I whole fry a yellowtail snapper dipped in corn meal. Whole fried fish is amazing and I recommend anyone to try this catch and cook recipe. catch clean and cook. We get back to Dans house where I clean some of the fish. Then I stop at publix to pick up some extra ingredients and the cooking begins!
