These seminars are so informative, thank you much appreciated.

In Hawaii we call goggle eyes, Akule' and juvenile goggles Halalu'. Great bait.

The Ballyhoop is a game changing device for catching live bait. It really does work.

I like using small pinfish for slot reds. The most fun way to catch them is with my 3wt fly rod. Having fun catching the bait as well as the game fish.

I love these seminars!!

Great video thanks for sharing this knowledge with us

Can we do a gulf coast seminar? I could point you in the right direction

Thanks - very informative.

I like the way you talk

Great video!

Great video I have been following your videos gearing up to move down to Stuart/ Boynton area this spring

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Sorry, finger Mullet, mud minnows, as well as pin fish, are the easiest baits to keep alive if you don't overcrowd. I can keep a 8 to 10 finger mullet alive in a 5-gallon bucket with a battery operated bubbler (helps to keep a gatorade bottle full of ice in there to keep it cool). In each of my 30 gallon oval, portable bait tanks, it is easy to keep a dozen hog legs alive (overflowed,and plumbed to receive some fresh, as well as recirculating water). I wanted to suggest, as I have had success with it, instead of lifting the castnet full of bait (like ballyhoo) out of the water, submerge a rope handle bucket under the net, then release the bait into the bucket in the water, and scoop them out? Instead of lifting the net out of the water, and treating the bait like rocks in tumbler, removing slime and scales. I have taken a swim noodle, ran a rope through the center of the noddle, and wrapped the noodle under the lip of the rope handle bucket (and zipped tied from the bucket holes for the rope handle in the bucket, to the noodle to keep it in place). I will even drag the floating bucket around the 3' to 4' of water while looking for bait like mullet while fishing off the beach. Anyone have success chumming for finger mullet with bread crumbs? While throwing for bait around the Skyway (Tampa Bay) and throwing in the shadows, I have loaded up the 12' net with 6 - 5gallon buckets of bait, too heavy to lift , and resulted with 6 buckets full of chum. However, when I sink the bucket under the closed net, and release, and overflow the bucket (most of the bait released back into the bay and makes excellent chum :() I can manage what I need to keep, and it is much healthier. I don't catch nearly that many ballyhoo (maybe a few dozen at most), but don't lift them out of the water. Release into the floating bucket, and scoop them out with a dip net. Still much quicker than a single little hook, or a sabiki, and slightly better treatment than a hoop net. You just have to deal with storing the bucket while not in use (I just throw my nets in the bucket and store down in v-berth).

I love these seminars. Would you do a short addition to this one specific to catching bait inshore, for the guys on flats boats?

$329 for the ballyhoop holy crap!! That's pricey.

Great seminar. Amazes me how thorough you are being a teacher without looking at any notes. Constant information. You are a natural and come across sincerely trying to teach others how to catch fish. Keep the videos coming please! What size net would you recommend from a jetty, bridge, beach? 8-10 foot? Both 3/8 and 1 inch? Would you have add rope I would think to a net when casting off a bridge? Would you still chum from a bridge?

Love these seminars. I would also love to find something equally as authoritative for the Florida-Bama area. Anyone with info please share! (Ie: no ballyhoo off reef balls south of Perdido 🤷‍♂️)

hey Captain, you briefly mentioned baitfishing in Miami is really good, can you provide any spots as you did for your Broward viewers, thanks, tight lines.

The ballyhoop net expensive more than200usd they should reduce the price.

excellent , love Your passion, only try lightening it up a bit.

Come on JR. to much dinero!

Great video. Just moved to Jupiter where are the best places to begin looking for inter coastal bait near Jupiter for a beginner?

what about pin fish

I was thinking Broward has a special county law when on the beach and possibly land the max net size is 7ft. In a boat this law may not apply

Ballyhoop guy was really trying to make everyone feel stupid

No love for the pinfish?

informative, but really only relevant to SE Florida

Capt. Mike I need your help do you have any good numbers in Bimini I will be in south Bimini if you could send me some numbers that sure would help me I have never been to Bimini before. So I have no idea where to fish

14' all day long! Lol

That’s insulting.

Please keep the ads out of the videos

Dear Ballyhoop, Y'know, I'd much rather buy 3 cast nets than pay $329 for one singular ballyhoop, no matter how good it is, it won't match up to two skilled guys front and back of the boat with 12ft cast nets. Not to mention, aside from him wanting $329usd, what part of a piece of polycarbonate rod and a net mesh wrapped into a cone is worth $329usd? Did the guy forget how much money $329 is or something? Cause I didn't, that's $2200+ in my local currency, for that money, I can bootleg his idea by using the very same thing I'm certain he started with, just a plain hula hoop, and still have $2175 left over, then another $75 at the craft store getting some 1/4" net mesh and you're pretty much done, go home and sew it all up. Where's the rest of my money going? Ahhhh, his pocket, gotcha, nice boats don't buy themselves.

Why is a non Florida resident speaking in a Florida sport seminar? That’s not right. Florida fisherman should be heading something like this.

Saying mullet are easy to keep alive is bunk. I’m a fan of the show, but his statement on mullet is incorrect.

No ablan Español

Same old story mention anything to do with a boat , triple the price, just another rip off.

This "seminar" seems more like a sales pitch for different products. Are the audience members paying for the privilege? It's not even a product demonstration. I think I'd have to be stoned to sit through this entire video.
