In this video:
We run out of Adams cut through the state park John Pennekamp. This is all protected reef so there is no spearfishing allowed. But they allow you to catch lobster and fish with hook and line.
We start off our fishing trip by anchoring in some 10-15ft patch reefs and start to freedive for lobster. I love lobster. They are my favorite eating thing ever. So this better be an epic catch an cook. Because we will catch some lobster!
The FWC stopped us. We had no lobster in the boat at the time. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission works hard to make sure no illegal fish are taken. I respect all the work that Florida Wildlife Control does to ensure there are fish for everyone to catch!
We catch lobster and then move to a different part of the patch reefs here in Key Largo and start to chum for mutton snapper. We catch live ballyhoo and use them for bait. It doesn't take long before the mutton snapper start biting. This is great and this is how to catch mutton snapper in south florida!
We fill the boat with mutton snapper and even some yellowtail snapper. We call it a day and drive back to Dans home. The next day we visit the dolphins and then have a lobster grill back at Dans house. We cook the lobster on the grill and they taste amazing!
