Apparently you found that Sheriffs honey hole and he had to make sure no one else fishes it

For a state that relies so heavily on tourism, Florida sure is dicks about shore access for fisherman.

Without legal signs. And without FWC telling you the same. Sheriff has no jurisdiction to be a douche and tell you to leave.

My position is that unless it's posted, and it's not private property, the deputy can kick sand. And if he wants to press the bogus case, just raise the stakes and call the game Warden and press charges on the deputy for interference/harassment of a fisherman/hunter. You might even get a nice settlement out of the matter when you sue the sheriff department.

When I was down on Isla Morada last summer, I had the sheriff come up to me in my Kayak as I was drifting under a bridge out of the pass and he said I couldn't fish there...I asked him why I couldn't fish there and he said I was impeding traffic...I asked him how I was impeding traffic under a bridge, out of the lane of travel and he said if I keep talking, I can go to jail...ended up over the weekend having 3 great interactions with the FWC and 3 horrible ones with the Sheriff's office...seems to be a theme

Your channel brings back so many memories. First saw what looked to me like fishing you were fishing SR60 but could have been Alligator Alley. But today watching you in Marathon took me over the top. We went there every summer and when I saw you help that kid memories flooded. That was over 60 years ago and made me feel like that kid again. Thanks

You were catching a lot of Jacks. I saw you caught a new species of Jacks that are capable of driving boats, The Jack-Ass sheriff species. Well done Brant! I wish you hadn't thrown that one back. It's only going to give other law abiding anglers trouble. Thanks for sharing.

In missouri if it’s public you can fish there. Only way that a sheriff would tell you no fishing if you were on private property but then it has to be marked no fishing but that’s in missouri. Great way you handled that but I have the feeling the game warden knew you were ok to fish there with a license and the sheriff didn’t quite know what he thought he did. I might be wrong. But that’s why when I’m bank fishing I always carry a local platte book that shows ownership and boundaries

Brant- loving the FL Keys Docu-Series. They have great restaurants and fishing. So relaxed down there, except for the wall to wall cars.

Nice series Brandt fun to see you catching all the Jacks

Grew up in Marathon during my summers off with my grandparents great fishing, great videos.

I understand the reason for rules and laws but it's almost coming to the point where the government just doesn't want anyone to enjoy anything. And heaven forbid you feed yourself for almost free. It's like unless you're an elitist buying your way in you're not allowed to enjoy it.

So you caught a fish on the first cast of each stop along the highway? That's a sweet day of fishing. Thanks for the video, Brant.

Dang! Can you even fish in Florida anymore? 😂

You draw in the fish, game wardens and the cops, great job, Brant 😂

Somehow I don’t believe the deputy. I think he is full of BS

Ahhh, The Fills. That area is closed to everyone now due to construction and restoration, along with issues arising from some folks coming down from the mainland and absolutely trashing it. It’s been a sore subject for years due to some folks not brining out their trash, fighting, illegally parking their vehicles, anchoring their boats so they blocked the channel, walking back and forth across the road blocking traffic, trying to camp there, and so much more. The county (and Village of the Islands/Islamorada) put up ‘no parking’ signs in some areas and trash cans to try to help curb some of the activity, but folks just moved them, and continued on. Other than the trash, broken bottles, and fights, the main thing that caused the issue was that folks would stop their cars in the road, effectively blocking traffic, while trying to wait for a spot to open where they could park. Understand, this is the only highway in or out of the area, and the parking issues caused standstill traffic. Basically they did it to themselves. They have had hearings about if/when they plan to allow any access to the area, but the FDOT and residents want it shut down for good. Others have been trying to turn the area into a park, with bathrooms and parking. Recently there were no trespassing/parking signs around the area, as well as bright orange can barricades, but I’m not sure if they were moved for the construction or for some other reason as I don’t really see them in the video. Sucks that the actions of a few caused issues for everyone. Sadly, there are a lot of places in the Keys that are headed in that same direction.

Brant, most fisherman go a lifetime without seeing a game warden. Not you, he gets you on day one, and the Sherriff on day two. Plus, the bite was on. I dont think that Sherriffs deputy can tell you not to fish there after the game wardens had no issues with you being there. Those waters in the keys are beautiful and the fishing is truly one of a kind. Cant wait for the next one to drop, good luck & stay dry

Awesome content love the south Florida videos

Enjoyed your video. Easy to listen to, plus you’re catching fish.

You need to get a " Bucket Hat" and print out your digital fishing licence, laminate it, and put it in a pouch on the hat!!! 😂😂😂 I've fished in New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona...always had my license.... Never once have I been asked by a Fish and Game Officer to produce my license. Same for all the years that I have hunted for Dove, Quail, Ducks and Pheasant, Deer and Elk.. never been asked! We hunted and fished to keep food on the table. Growing up, we ( the 4 of us boys and my sister ) grew up eating game meat and fish! Heck...my best friend and his dad used to take us fishing in New Mexico, and we always came home with plenty of Blue Cats and Channel Cats! His mom made the best fried catfish...hush puppies and Cole slaw! ( She grew up in the mountains of Tennessee...and she knew how to cook! )

Looks like you're right by Indian Key. We would drive there from ft Lauderdale in the morning, park on the side set up our coolers and grill and just fish drink eat and swim all day. About 50 yards off the shore on the east side is a sandbar that's fun to swim to. They have no parking signs now for most of that area but you can sneakily park at the marina across the bridge and walk. We would go there maybe 3 times a year. Everyone else we met there were from Dade or Broward there for a day trip. Locals tended to not bother with that area too much other than launching boats and tourists from out of state stuck to charters and resorts and restaurants. Was a nice little area. Fwc rolls by that area a few times a day during the busy season.

State officers really do make fishing enjoyable for you and your family. What a joke. There able to legally violate your rights. Keep up the great videos!!

Liking that you stopped and talked to the local kids fishing too. Looks like they were having a good day too.

The locals seemed pretty unfriendly...

Great video Brant! Some awesome catches in this one. Too funny how Brad got the boot in his latest video there too. At least the game warden was a nice guy. Lol Thanks for sharing!!!

Awesome video guys!!!

I've fished charters inshore and offshore, caught a few big fish in my day but by far the most fun i have fishing now is shore fishing with the wife. Something about exploring areas i've never been to and catching fish. Crazy the Sheriff ran you off, conspiracy brain says thats his fav spot and didn't want you giving his fish sore mouths :P

No fishing sign, you can fish. He was a sheriff’s deputy 95% are full of shit.

Excellent restaurant and the fishing......ahhh....can't wait to go back !

Great video, Brant! It's great to see you helping the younger angler. I would think it would be posted if you weren't allowed to fish and would think the game warden would know.

As always cool video 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video as usual.

Loved the video. Keep it up!

Love the South Florida stuff.

I'm sorry that happened to you. The sheriff is wrong and FWC has complete authority over them. I also know that area and had you replied, "no speaky engly" he would have just drove away. 😢

Darn, I have watched so many of Brant’s videos when he runs afoul of the law. Guy leads a fishing life of crime. A real angling Jesse James! Keep up the adventures! Thanx for the fun!

I’m a FL resident to but only been asked for my fishing license once in Tampa but man I love your videos my man keep killing it

Man, I love a restaurant where you can get a good dinner and do some casting right off the dock!

Great video

Love the videos!!!!

I'm always amazed at how many "NO" signs there are in Florida. Seems the only yes they have is leaving your money there and getting the hell back to your own state.

Ridiculous the fun police on duty. If there were no signs posted, you can fish there. Kinda like trespassing signs, they have to be posted every 100 ft. Enjoyed your video.

Island Fish Co. One of our favorite spots in Marathon! Try the fried key lime pie! Sunset grill another favorite

When the POPO say no, you go!

Great video.

I am a ND resident and go into MT to fish. Get checked everywhere I have fished. Creeks,rivers and lakes throughout the state. If only so lucky with lottery 😁

Awesome video

Love the channel. Some to be Florida resident

Been going to the keys for years!! Island fish company is the best. Hit that place every year!! Try breakfast there also!!

Nice lesson for the kid

You handled that situation the100% correct way at that time. No reason arguing or saying anything their mind was already made up and nothing said would change it...but you and everyone else know, if you weren't allowed to fish there the game warden would have told you that. I feel like that area in FL has alot "insider" locations. A deputy comes by and sees you in their spot or in their buddies spot, and says you're not allowed To be there. Iv been seeing it happen ALOT lately. Almost been getting the feeling they don't like the tourists coming in and want to make it as difficult as possible for them. That's kinda the reason that part of the state is nice. From all the tourists and people on vacation all that generated revenue.

Welcome to Monroe lol they give us bank fisherman a hard time yet boaters go under the passes in unauthorized tunnels under the bridge and catch our rods. Beautiful day out on the water though!

What plastic were you using to catch those jacks? I'll be in our intercoastal in Pompano Beach later this year and thinking this would work there, know there are jacks and tarpon around.

Good stuff.

Dude. That is awesome you ened up fishing with ZZ TOP 12:40

Catch you some small grunts. Use them for bait out on Long key Guaranteed good time.

Lived down here 10 years and I can’t figure out where that Sheriff kicked you out of!! Where was this, so I can go fish it and see what happens haha

@angleruptv do you use electrical tape on your reel before you add your braided line ??

cool beans on da jack slayin good interesting vid..staysafe..

Great show again, thanks ,,egg man here

You guys know how to do it !! 🧨🧨🧨

It's all about the adventure!

Sparkys is also a good restaurant to try have the best fish tacos in town also the stuffed pig is great for breakfast

That sheriff deputy sucked big time he did not even take the time to tell you why it was illigal to fish there unless there was more to the conversation we did not see.

What rod were you mainly using in this video that handled all the bigger fish pretty well?

Tell that sheriff you’re a famous KZfaqr bro! 😂 great video 👍🏼👍🏼

What rod and reel did you use to catch the Jack?

Jacks have that sleek fast tuna body. They're fast so they fight good. Never turn them down for a good fight.

Hey man here is the thing. If you are standing in the water they are powerless to tell you you can’t fish. Only if you are standing on land does MCSO have control over you fishing.

Love your videos

Monroe county has all sorts for statues and local ordinances that prevent a lot of things. Every thing to how many spaces can be at a boat ramp to what bridges you can and can’t fish from. There are a lot of spots not marked that you can not fish from that a county cop would know and not the FWC. There are even canals you can’t fish in down there. Always check the local ordinances on which key you are visiting before you go. Brant did the best thing and moved on, down there not knowing doesn’t keep you safe from fines. Trust me I know. Keep up the great videos man, epic stuff for sure!

Great video Brother! I'm sittin' at home with broken neck, wishing I was right there... by the way, I would have told that Sheriff, to show me why I can't fish there... FWC is the most powerful law enforcement agency in this state... if he didn't run you off, f*** those other guys...

I would have mentioned why isn't there signage stating no fishing? How is someone supposed to know! That's ridiculous. If I'm not mistaken the Sherriff department does not have law enforcement for fishing rules and regulation's in the State of Florida. That's FWC jurisdiction.

You probably got rookied by the Deputy. No signs, Game Warden didn't say anything? Odds have it that's his and his buddies favorite bank fishin spot! LOL! Welcome back to The Keys...

Wish you asked that Sheriff what the regulation was about fishing there? I can't find anything on the internet from FWC, or Monroe County saying you can't fish there. I'm coming down there next week and plan on doing the exact same thing.

Great place to eat!

Needed a chill and reel for that restaurant lol

what a crock of s**t! i guess that the cop didn't have anything better to do than harass the little guy. they love showing you who's the boss.

Please share spots from the shore in the Keys. Have been going down, and haven’t found the best (don’t like to fish from bridges).

Welcome to Munroe County. Sounds normal!

That’s y I just launch my kayak man. No signs is crap, and unfair to us fisher men and ladies. I’ve noticed that more and more in Florida over the last few years. Which brings me to my first point, kayak. !!!!!!

Probably fishing his favorite fishing spot. 7:39 😂

What lure or bait is he using when catching the jacks

I was bank fishing in Marathon on a really nice spot. Had lots of potential until a Sheriff chased me off. He was NOT nice about it and tried his damnest to cut my line with his boat. Been there, won't do it again. Sure hope you get to Bahia Honda under the bridges for great tarpon fishing!!

Jesus Man!! Makes me not wanna come fl keys at all now capt! They can’t leave you be they don’t own the water😂😂

Cool😊

When it comes to something like this, the FWC knows more than the Sheriffs. If the game warden didn't say anything, you're good.

That's pretty neat , you can fish right at the restaurant

That was the perfect size 'cuda to eat, and they are delicious. 😋

unless posted, if it's public property you can fish it. I would have let the deputy know you're filming and you would like to know what regulation states you're unable to fish there. It's bad enough getting harassed by random people for fishing let alone law enforcement talking out of their ass.

Be there in 2 weeks. Thanks!!

Island fish company has some damn good breakfast as well

So when the boys head out in the morning do you hit the sack again after they head out? we could not hear the reason you could not fish at that location

so much for that freedom we have!

What were you using for a lure

The most times I have been personally approached by any type of law enforcement department is when I was fishing , hunting , or shooting known as "plinking". Never had any problems . I show them respect , my licenses when necessary , they kind of visually scanned my equipment tell me to have a nice day and they leave This going all the way back to the early 80's.

jacks revive much better if you toss em head first like a bonito holding em still starts to drown them👍🏼

Fishing do be kinda fun

That 🐷 was Mad because he wasn't fishing himself he was on the water but working SMH!! Poor piggy 🐖
