Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is the Ta Mahoney Company Real Animals Radio Show

chart today's course. Your hosts, Captains Mike Anderson, Ben Marshall,
and the Legend Mike Mahoney.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Good morning, Tampa Bay ninety five to three WDAE n
AM six twenty. Super happy that you are joining us
here this morning. I hope your Saturday or Saturday morning.
I hope your Sunday morning is starting off blessed. I'm
still on fla time apparently, but good to be here
talking fishing until nine o'clock. Weather looks pretty good really.

(00:46):
I mean, obviously we got some rain, just kind of
normal this time of year. You got to keep your
eye on the sky. But the winds are down, and
I mean, if it that's what I saw was it
was calling for six to eight. I mean, if it
blows a little bit, you get a little breeze. This
time of year, it's a b yeah, you gotta have it.
So a little bit of breeze out there. Looks like
it picks up. Tuesday Wednesday look a little rainier, a

(01:06):
little rougher, but today tomorrow looked pretty good. So get
out there on the water.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, that's what I would say. You may get a
little a little surf on the East coast, a little
sweaty this week coming up, the waves should be big.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, you can't tell. You never know what the storm
is going to do.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Right, Well, they say, even if it stays off the
you know the surge, well they're going to have it
over on that other side as far as the surfers
or they're probably fired up. Yeah, lord of surfers. Right, Yeah,
East Coast is a little bit better than West.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Coast, a lot better, no doubt about it. But weather
looks decent, So like I said, you might as well
enjoy it. Well, you can't. Again, it's that time of year.
Things change pretty quick here. We already obviously, like we
just said, you got a big storm rolling up the
Atlantic over there. So hopefully it stays out and nobody
gets just does its thing and runs out and Peter's

(02:03):
out out there in the ocean somewhere, but you hopeful.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, at least it gets you ready, you know, if
there's something else coming. October's usually gets you thinking about it.
For October's not real good for Florida.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
So no historically early historically bad weather update brought to
you by our good friends at Reese Windows Indoors as
always Florida's leading window endoor company, over fifty years in business.
Ye'ah for free installation. Most windows and doors installed in
just six to eight weeks. They only use in house installers,
no freelance contractors. Their work always comes with a double

(02:34):
lifetime warranty, which is my favorite part. And what does
that mean for you? Means you never pay for warranty.
When you sell your house. The warranty transfers to the
new owners, which adds value to your home. Visit Reese
Windows dot com for more information. So fun week for me.
Did you get on the water? Nope?

Speaker 3 (02:51):
No this week, no stayed away It was I had
enough last week when I went with feewalks to to
get my fill of that heat.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's pretty tough, so I didn't think this out very well. Okay,
there's a new Real Animal's TV rule. I just made
it this.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Week night time fishing.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I'll never go south never the keys never go south
in August. August should go north always the keys. The
keys was beautiful, hawks k beautiful, the weather beautiful.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You go to that clothing optional bar.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, there was one. I didn't even know. We didn't
make it. We didn't make it all the way there
we want to. We went to Marathon to have dinner
and uh pick up some supplies and that was it
that way hawks K. Yeah, well, and I will tell

(03:57):
you that I didn't. I was so excited about the
invite because so Captain rich Tudor from Saltwater Experience. His
son read is nineteen young captain down there in the Keys,
super talented. I heard lots of good things about him.
Rich said, Hey, you want to come down here, you know,
we'll get you put up at Hawk's k get your

(04:19):
camera boat film. The show would read tailing, redfish, small tarpin. Wow, yeah, yeah,
that sounds like fun. What I didn't really put into
the equation was even on my trip my trips, now,
I have a te top, like there's a place to
escape the sun for a little bit. Okay, I mean,

(04:43):
you know, you don't I don't was good. I don't
think I realized what a nice piece of optional equipment
that is until I got on my eighteen KO skiff,
which I love, by the way, it's incredible floats, super skinny,
ran great. Rich Tudor read tutor. Both skiff guys really
impressed with the boat. Reid's going to order one already

(05:07):
loves it. I get it. There's no cover, there's no
nothing on there. Yeah, no, no. My got on the
boat at six, got off the boat at four thirty,
sweating the entire time. And you're casting the whole and
you're casting the whole time because we're throwing artificials, just artificials.

(05:29):
So it's not like you no listen, it was and
read is so doubt when you're when you're going after
those micropoons. I mean, that's really and it's really cool.
And when I tell you this kid was dialed in,
I mean he was dialed in. Like I'm like, we
were fishing the islands on the way to Flamingo for

(05:50):
the micropoons. All those islands are surrounded by like these
super shallow flats, but on the big outgoing tides along
the islands, it creates these little channels right up on
the shorelines under the mangrove DGEs. I would be like, so,
what's the deal with this island? He would be like, well,

(06:11):
we're going to stop there. There's five tarping on it.
I'm like, what he goes, yeah, there's five micros that
live on that island. I'm like, oh, and we'd pull
in and each shut down and we would start casting.
And he goes, there, probably not here, but we'll start here
just in case we might pick up snook here whatever.
We'll keep our eyes open. But they're normally on this point. Dude,

(06:34):
as soon as you got to the point boom five,
not six, not eleven, not four five, then we go
to the next island. He's like, there's only three here,
but on this outgoing tide, we can almost always catch one.
Pull in there, not four, not six, three three on

(06:55):
that boom, and you'd stick one. He goes, yeah, they're
probably done. Now fish a little longer.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
He goes, yeah, what kind of lures were using?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So the mirrorlure provoker and I fished it this way
a couple of times other times in other places with
other guys, and I don't know why I don't go
to it more. Here we're using a mustad three hot
circle hook and you're literally just sending it through the
top of that provoker through the like what would be
the nose or the where you tied to, where you

(07:24):
would tie to where you put your head tied tied
to the hook. You just and what it does is
it makes that it's a really light presentation. I think
I'm guessing you know, it's a maybe either a needlefish
or a belly who love.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
No other hooks on it, No way that those are
taken off and you put a circle on the end
and tied it.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
The provokers just a fluke. I mean, it's just a
jerk bait. Five inch. It's their five inch jerk bait.
So that's all it is. So when you pitch it
in there, you got to kind of pause it. You
gotta let it sink a little bit, and then you're
just doing it. Just a little twitch in the no
cutting the nose, but a little cutting the bellies. You
can rig it weedless with it like a weighted worm hook,

(08:09):
which we did end up using it when we got
too flamingo up on the flat for the tailing redfish.
We just added a weighted bass hook to it to
kind of crawl it through the grass. That's how I
got you know, I caught it. I caught about a
twenty six inch red fish that was was like beelining
almost right to us and just ended up making a

(08:30):
great cast. It was a little breezy, which probably kept
us alive because it was so hot. But I mean
it was tough on something, you know, because you're trying
to drive that bait that doesn't weigh a lot into
that wind. Sometimes, you know what I mean, to try
to make that cast, and when you're fishing in ten
inches of water, it's got to be a really accurate cast.

(08:52):
And I thought Reed was getting a little frustrated with
me because I don't do that all the time anymore.
I used to be better at it. I can still
do it. I made a couple of casts that were great.
A couple of times the fish didn't eat it on
really good casts, and other times I made a horrible
cast and hit the fish right on the head and
he swam off and read I could tell Reid was like, well,
he kind of blew that one, you know. But then

(09:12):
I made a couple of those. It was all psyched.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
That way with the tarpin or you just threw in
the channel. You were talking about.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
It because you're so close. The channel was so narrow.
On the tarpain, it turns into side fishing like you
would see him and then make a cast to him
like he I was standing behind him. He was on
the very front of the boat kind of you know,
running the trollo motor, getting us right where we needed
to be, which put him in the a seat. There's
no doubt if you've ever fished the tour, that guy,
that lead guy is usually in the in the power

(09:43):
seat right there because he he gets first shot at him.
I watched him just make this killer skip cast way
underneath in this little pocket, and as he was bringing
it out, I saw the top like there he is,
there he is. He literally just swam out of the
shadow and crushed it right there in front of Oh
it was I mean, just again, my add not designed

(10:08):
perfectly for that. You know, we had we only caught
four fish all day. We had other shots. We had
a couple of fish on that jumped off the puns.
You know, it's hard to keep them little ones stuck.
Sometimes they're like popcorn. As soon as you stick them
with a hook, they're flying all over the place. Instant up, yeah,
instant yeah. And the red fish didn't do exactly what

(10:28):
they had done the day before. He had thirty or
forty shots the day before, and we probably had ten shots.
The next day. Even that we saw a couple of
fish that were on you know, did you ever fish
out on the tour on the red fish.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Tour, I never fished down there.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Okay, so Flamingo my very first trip there. What we
learned right away was to try to find the stingrays,
find the big rays, because a lot of times you'll
they'll have two or three red fish with them up
that shallow they give themselves away with them big wings
and bigger ones to see them on the flat. And
then because they're kicking up all that grass and mud

(11:05):
that's serving up all them shrimp and crustaceans and freebies
for the red fish, So a lot of times the
red fish will get on their backs with them. There
was schools of black drum down there too, which was
really interesting. I'm small ones, you know, like maybe six
seven pounders, couldn't get them to eat anything, which Reid said,
they never Well it's about the right size you're going
to eat a black drum. Yeah, that's the right size.

(11:26):
There was lots and lots of schools. The other thing
was I thought was crazy ninety three degree water, which
is another reason I think the bite was tough. Up
shallow sheephead schools in the shallows, like, I'm like, there's
some more black drum. And he was up on the
polling platform. He goes sheephead, I'm like what. And we

(11:47):
get up there and sure enough it would be thirty
sheephead up in and it's just not really. They weren't big.
They weren't real small, but they weren't real big either,
kind of mediums maybe you know, a couple pounds apiece,
and you know, no big female breeders. But just I
was blown away. It was just like it was. It
was visually just a magnificent trip. I mean, the Keys

(12:10):
in general is just a beautiful place anyway. If you
love to fish, if you love saltwater fishing, you know
all the big boats and the marinas and just the
whole ambiance. Yeah, the whole ambiances is just fishy. So
it was a cool. Season twenty, episode one. Wow, it
was a perfect It was a perfect Yeah, it was
a perfect venue for that. You know, Hawk's k just

(12:34):
absolutely gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, you didn't keep no fish them that night, No,
you don't.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Need We caught more tarpat.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
It can boil them and you skim the meat and
the bone drops to the bottom of the pot. Yeah,
they do it in the Islands. It's like eating lobster. Really,
people just hadn't figured it out yet.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Well, I'm good. I'm good with that. I think I'll
hold off.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I buy my kill tag every year one.

(14:23):
How are you well?

Speaker 4 (14:25):
You earned a little respect about the heat I was
talking about.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Let me tell you all, buddy, there's a whole different
game when you got no shade too. I'm telling your
h well, it really turns. The first couple stops were
short runs because those islands aren't far where they carpent sit, right.
But it's a twenty five mile run and we ran
from Islamorada, not from hawks K. Normally we would run

(14:53):
from hawks K, but there was a little bit of breeze.
So Rich and Reid were like, hey, we're gonna save
our I was a little mileage here, Why don't you guys.
I just left my boat with Tudor with Rich rich
in them have they have a boat ramp in their neighborhood.
So they launched their boat. Rich is running a yellowfin skiff,

(15:14):
and then Read launched the ko and then they met
us at Worldwide Sportsmen at six am, and then we
could get ice and whatever we needed there and then
ran it.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh you got to drive.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I got to drive well to drive up from hawks
K to Worldwide Sportsman and then it's still a twenty
twenty five mile run to Flamingo from there. In the skiff.
It's a different different.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well different than saying, hey we got one hundred and
twenty miles ago, you'll get comfortable.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, but you're in a bean bag and you got shade.
I mean exactly, it's a different ride.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
People don't, right, People don't realize. You know, I had
a couple of friends of mine in the Marina. Hey,
you know your radio host is in the keys and
and I'm.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Like, yeah, but you guys live here.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
You know the difference between I'm thirty two miles away
from the end of it all. I mean, Big Pine Tea.
You guys, Yeah, you're in the same county, but I
had to if I wanted to just come and see
you have a beer or something. I got a long
ride just to come up and see you. Right, And
it's a whole different animal, but it sounds like you

(16:23):
had a great time. And man, then those I heard
you talking yesterday about the goliath grouper underneath the mangoes.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Yeah, let me tell you that has been a fishery
here for years and years, and I never want to
hear a puppy hugger or whatever saying we have a
goliath group of prob We don't.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
And if you don't.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Believe me, come down and do some of that fishing,
because that every one of those islands that you stop by,
they're loaded with mangrove snappers and they're loaded with nile
golias grouper.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Well I think what I think when yeah, from the
bunny hugger side of it, we got we got piles
of goliath grouper. There's no doubt about that. And in
some places I think they are a problem because they're
just once they get massive. They just eat so much.
But I hadn't done the battling the golias in the

(17:25):
mangroves thing, and that was pretty cool, and I didn't
really rig up for it. Luckily, and Reed even said
Reid kind of had a visual. The second day we
had uh, they had picked up a few crabs and
some shrimp, just you know, because the bite wasn't it
wasn't crazy good the day before, so we were thinking
about maybe trying to catch some of the black drum

(17:46):
using a little crab or something, just to mix in
some other species. You've done that, You've done the film
and thing, Mike, you know what. I'm so here we
see all these like the mangrove snapper on these islands
is incredible, and some of them are good. We caught
some on the fluke. Some of them are like really
good Tampa Bay sized mango snapper. I mean, we didn't

(18:08):
catch any eight pounders like you would off shore, but
some nice fourteen fourteen fish, you bet. I was like,
that's a good mango. But when the goliath were there,
Reed is looking down there, he's looking at the tackle.
I had changed the leader from a twenty pound leader. Obviously,
tried to bump it up. I put some fifty on
for the goliath, and I dropped a crab down there,

(18:30):
like you would use for either. You could use it
for tarpa. It might have been a little small for
a tarpain crab, but perfect permit sized crab. I drop
it down there with a little weight on it, and
he eats it, and I'm trying to get him out
of there, and I'm fighting, and I got the rod
jip down in the water because of the trees, and
we get him out of there, and he's, I don't know,
six seven pounds, eight pounds, just cute little guy. Reid

(18:51):
was like, the right one eight. I'm like what, He goes,
did you see the other ones down there with it?
I'm like no, he said, we'd never got the other
ones out of there, the little one eight. But it
was neat a couple of times when we were when
we were tarp and fishing the islands, you'd go buy
a little opening and see one of those little goliaths
in there under the trees. It was pretty pretty cool. Yeah,

(19:12):
there's no doubt that size. That size goliath is cool.
When they get to be four hundred pounds, and they
eat everything on the planet that you're trying to get
in your boat. That's not such a cool goliath to
have around.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
No, it's not. And I'm glad you had a great time.
I can't wait to watch the episode.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Really, that's such ape, Michael. We talk to you all
the time and I say, you know, let's check in
with Big Pine Key. And it doesn't register. And I
do this every single time I go to the Keys now,
and I do it. I try to get there every
other year, every other season to keep it mixed up
a little bit. But that drive from Homestead to Key Largo,

(19:51):
that two lane drive down there, it's so beautiful. And
every single time I'm on that road, I'm like, I
cannot believe it's been the song since I've been here.
It's in your backyard, and it's such a beautiful place.
It's right here in Florida. I mean, great restaurants, the
ambiance of the place. I mean, if you love to fish,
it's right here. The fishing capital of the world is

(20:14):
right there in Florida.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, definitely nice down there.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's beautiful, man, It's such a cool place.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
The thing I try to explain to people is is
from the moment you get past that seventeen mile drive
and you're actually in Key Largo. Think about this. Every
saltwater fish that swims between the Gulf and the Atlantic
is available to be caught or be targeted in the

(20:44):
state of Florida, in one county. I mean, yes, I'm
not taking anything away from my home waters originally in
a Maria, Tampa Bay all that.

Speaker 6 (20:55):
I'm not taking anything.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Away from the East coast. But when you get to
Quiela Argo and you're a fisherman, a true fisherman, you go.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Man.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
If I had a week and I wanted to knock
fish off my bucket list, I am in the absolute
perfect county in the United States to do it.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
They was talking about something like a super Slam, so
I know you can catch tarpin, bonefish.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, the Super Slam for the inshore is all six okay, right,
slam plus the Tampa Bay Slam, redfish, snook, trout, bonefish, permit, tarpin.
Not many people. I know two anglers that that's what
they do. They're captains, and I know they have several
to their credit. And you actually can send it into

(21:49):
the I g f A and you get mentioned in
the in the back part of it, they have slam
records and stuff, and the list isn't many. Yeah, I'm
gonna tell you, but the fishing's been great. I'm just
glad you got to experience it. We're getting plenty of

(22:10):
the snappers, mangoes, yellow tail, and muttons. Been doing some
deep dropping. Had some clients want to go way out.
We got all kinds of cool what I call the
deep water exotic species, some groupers, some snowy's and yellow
edge and all kinds of different fish the other day

(22:31):
and just a great time in the Florida Keys as.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Hot as you said.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
But just uh, you know, everybody, take a trip down
the Keys. You don't have to fish with me if
you don't want to come all the way down, but
take a trip, bring your boat if you want. Talk
to the local tackle shops. They'll give you some advice
and let me tell you can rack.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Up some fish.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Hey. And you know what, And if I'm being like
just just being real with the people in Florida, it's
not even like even if you just went down there
and didn't fish, it's just a very relaxing, beautiful place,
you know what. I mean like, and that sounds silly
to me because you're in the Keys, why would you
not fish? But you know, some people think.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
That would be better is if you could fish from
your truck like we do sometimes element as running from
the truck. It'd be nice to build us fish from it.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
It'd be nice if there was some ac and the
ko when you're down there with no covers gave it
gave me a new level of respect for the Florida
Keys skiff guides. There's just no cover. There's no way
to escape that heat. I mean, it's it's pretty warm.
It's pretty it was pretty warm. That was like a
short day.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
I was like, yeah, and and you said you were
out there until four thirty, And that just it doesn't
matter what part of the state or you're filming you film,
you're filming. Days are longer than you chartered to get
all that.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Well, not always, but in this particular case, it was.
And when you're throwing, when you're throwing artificial, that adds
a whole new thing to it. You don't think about
it because I don't do it every day anymore. Back
when I used to fish the tour, we would prefish
for seven days you threw artificials from morning till dawn,
you know, dust till dawn every day for a week,

(24:21):
you know, and then you may get a little break,
run some charters, and you were back throwing artificials again.
I don't throw artificials for ten hours like you did
that day. The meat in between my shoulder blades was
screaming at me. It was hot.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
I'm like, yeah, I was gonna ask you if your
hands and your wrists were hurting.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Actually, my hands and my wrists were fine. My back
I'll tell you the funny part. So it was ten
and a half hours on the water. I literally like,
we got in the truck, drove from Worldwide Sports and
back to hawks Kay. I took a shower, we ran
the marathon, had dinner, came back. It was seven twenty
eight when I put my head on the pillow and

(25:00):
I woke up at four am. I did like, there
was no like, I literally closed my eyes woke up
at four am. I was getting up at four because
we had to be back at Worldwide Sportsman by six,
So I just literally I was like I literally looked
at my phone, thinking, wow, it's midnight. That's great. No, no,
it's four o'clock in the morning. You slept from seven
thirty till four am. I'm like, yeah, I think you

(25:22):
were a little tired, big fellow.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
So yeah, Well, there was a place there we were Marathon.
I don't know if it's still there called Fannies. Y'all
didn't go there to Let's fay.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Oh, I can't talk about it years ago.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
I don't.

Speaker 9 (25:38):
It's still there.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
I don't go there, Mike, but it's still there.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
No island.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
You see Fannies when you get there.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I got Island Fish Company. Island Fish Company as well.
Let me I'll tell you what, dude, I was. We
just we were looking, weren't sure where we were going
to eat. Saw the big sign. I pulled in. I
thought it looks pretty open area and it was so hot.
I was already so cooked. I'm like, I don't know
if this is good. We walked in. They had fans

(26:06):
all over the place. The service was great, the food
was awesome. I mean I literally we ate there three
nights in a row. I literally called the manager over,
told the waiter to go get the manager for me.
The last night we were there, and I told the
guy said guaranteed. Every single time somebody calls you to
a table, you get an earful about something bad. I'm

(26:27):
going to tell you we've been here three nights in
a row. The food was great, the service was great.
We had three different servers. The ambiance was good. They
had big TVs. They had fans blown everywhere, so it
was nice and cool in there. I thought it was fantastic. Like,
if I'm back down there and have time to stop
for a meal right there, I would go to that
Island Fish Company again. Three days in a row.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
The food was spctactic. Next to Worldwide Sports.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
No, no, that's North. That's I'm sorry South, a world way.
It's on marathon just before you get on a marathon.

Speaker 9 (26:54):
They used to.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Have one mike right next to Worldwide Sports, and that
one moved down south. Yeah, that one one you went to,
which is right where I know, I know where you went,
is the one that used to be next to Worldwide Sportsmen.
They just moved. But no, And the last thing I'll
say is I knew you, you know how we down
south of the South keys knew you were here. When

(27:17):
you stepped on that ko the water level and the
keys rose up I believe it.

Tide was next five thirty, So I wanted to, you know,

I don't know how it got unhooked. I thought my

(29:47):
line broke, but then I get five minutes later a
twenty two and a quarter in tread respectable. Then I
get it twenty three and a half in tred. So
that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Like how you got the quarter and the half inch
added on there? That's nice.

Speaker 3 (30:03):

Ye hi, buddy, good stuff right there. Let's get a
uh morning snook report from the Madman himself, Captain Dave Palmoliue,
the man Snooker.

Speaker 12 (32:02):
What's up, buddy, Morning Mike and Mike.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Making Mike today? No Benji, no Benji this morning.

Speaker 8 (32:10):
Well, you know I was.

Speaker 12 (32:11):
I spoke with you yesterday morning and I thought, you know,
I bet mister Mahoney is not afraid to go out
at night one day.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
No, don't tell me anybody my secrets now.

Speaker 12 (32:23):
No, I won't, But I was wanting to drag you
out at night. I tried to get Mike to go
and I you know, I called the show yesterday and
Mike and Dilmer were like, Nah, we sleep at night
and I've seen plenty of pictures of you killing dinosaurs,
I mean gators in the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Oh yeah, I love it because less you get checked,
less you have like less supervision.

Speaker 12 (32:45):
Well that is true. I'm like, you know, we went
back out for a little more fun last night. Man
just he gets sick of hooking carpent I mean, and
it was a little thirty to fifty pounders pull and
it just went out with barblous rags, no barbs and
just jump, get them to jump, and then drop that

(33:06):
rod so they fly off. In other words, get two
or three jumps out of them.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Gone perfect, that's perfect.

Speaker 12 (33:12):
But I didn't know if that's something you wanted to do,
but love to have the out. Maybe we could he
do something for your YouTube or whatever TV thing you have.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, I would love to, Dave. You know one thing
that really excites me, and I know you're tuned into
them better than I am, is September when they that's
just right around the corner. And that's when then big
snooks start going up those rivers and following the shad,
and it really makes things nice to fish that night time,

(33:43):
especially a good tide. September is probably my favorite month
for catching big snook. I know, spring summer is real
good because they spawn and they're out on the beach.
But man, I really like that September bite.

Speaker 12 (33:58):
Yeah you have you because you've been doing it in
the last few years.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yep, sure have. They get loaded in the Alifi, all
the rivers right around. They follow those shad up every
since they stop, you know, using the saane nets for
the menhaden or the shad that are in Tampa Bay.
Their natural movement in September is up those rivers, and
that them big ones are just sitting down there on
the bottom waiting.

Speaker 12 (34:23):
Oh yeah, I used to fish up in their heck,
I do. Used to go all the way for the
palmer was still oh man, yell at all kinds of ways.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, he's got well on. In the nighttime, most people
are sleeping, so you can get past the jugs. You
ain't got to worry about fish cops or anybody.

Speaker 12 (34:39):
Oh we we got past the jugs with the radio
controlled tugboat and drug it up there with a clothes
pin on the back and then snatch it off the
back when it got to the phone.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
I love it, and I love it.

Speaker 12 (34:50):
Drive the tugboat back and now we got we gotta
we got a drone to fly the bait in there.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
But I don't know I got I.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (34:59):
I don't have your cell and uh yeah, I just
if you want to go bank, some carpenters do a
night episode or something, let's do it, man, we have
I can't believe I sat down. I was talking with somebody.
I said, you know, I've never gone. I've never been
on the boat with Mike Mahoney. It's so well, I've

(35:21):
been on the boat with my panns City.

Speaker 9 (35:22):
It's like, what that well, you know what.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I'm probably why you haven't been arrested yet.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
I've seen you over there blind pass. It's like we
tried to hide from each other for many years.

Speaker 10 (35:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (35:35):
That was back when Oh, does you know where your
fishing is? You know you're I can I can over
that quite a few years ago. I'm like, I'm not
worried about it. People know where I fished. That's why
people asked me, why do you stop doing YouTube, And
I said, because every time I put up a YouTube
video it turned into where's wall?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Though, yeah.

Speaker 12 (35:55):
They were, they're only watching for the background, and I
just not of that to get it get back to it.
But yeah, you can get yourself number and we'll set
something up and let's do it. But yeah, absolutely, next
next July, i gotta drag you over the Waterdale area.
I'm getting the average twenty to twenty five pound fisher
a kitchen.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
That would be fun.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Let's do that.

Speaker 12 (36:19):
That's days on, that's daytime and nighttime. Well, you know,
we'll do the Waterdale thing at night. And we got
we got seven fish in the last trip, over thirty pounds.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
That's great, that's really good.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
That's a fish kid.

Speaker 12 (36:32):
Yeah, ge get me, get me a number, and I'll
tell you something up. We don't have to do it.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Tell everybody how they can get a hold of your
chicken books. Some trips, I mean those are we are
talking about a trip to catch the snook of a lifetime.
So talk about how they get hold of dot com.
It's the best.

Speaker 12 (36:48):
Snugger dot com. That's easy enough and great. Show is
always and Mike shoot the text and will set something
up and they we can hit the Palm River stillway
for giggles.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, I'd love to, man, I'd love to. You're too crazy.
Is on a boat? You might get me out there yet,
that might be something to see. I might stay up late,
two of you on a boat together.

Speaker 12 (37:10):
Like I said before, the amount of fishing doledgs it's
in that studio right now is insane.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
You're the man. Have a great day, David. We appreciate
your brother.

Speaker 12 (37:19):
Thanks, give me a number.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'll do it. Good stuff right there. What a stud well,
you know he's the one.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
He taught me how to turn your lights off at
nights and nobody can see what you're doing. I'll always
look for him over there. We'd launch it blinds past
all the whiny babies and the condos. Made it where
you had to couldn't even be at the ramp at
ten o'clock. Now you imagine that we had a ramp
over there with the ballpark nothing around it. You could

(37:48):
launch fish them docks. It's a great place in the summer.
Like you're talking about the heat man, there's so many docks.
You launch it at the same time as three other
boats and you never even see it. Everybody picks their
own set of docks. You go all the way to
John's Pass, all the way, you know, to pass a grill.
You can go wherever you want. There's docks everywhere. And

(38:08):
then they then condos came in there and the people
started getting upset because I don't know if it was me,
but you know, sometimes late at night, when you're powering
boats up, you're making a lot of noise, especially if
you caught big snook or you were there with Eddie.
That's where I hit Eddie and whipped him with a
metal piece, you know, just messing around with him and

(38:31):
squealing tires when you come out of the ramp. That's
a good one. I hadn't got on video yet.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Eddie had a new boat and a new truck and
it was me and him fishing. So we pulled up
the dock. I said, Eddie, what do you want me
to do? You want me to load the boat? Do
you want me to back the truck in? He goes,
You know, you want to be a big shot around me,
he said, he I cangload my boat. You backed the
truck in, So I backed the truck in. Put him
on the trailer, tell him to hold on, and I

(38:58):
floor it all burning tires. I'm sure that that may
be why we're not allowed to be there past ten o'clock,
burning tires all the way up. I let off the
gases like a top fuel drags or doing a burnout.
The whole thing shakes. His jaw was hanging to the ground,
probably burning into rubber off the red. But it's a

(39:19):
good one. Try that on your buddies if they want
you to drive the vehicle, go in a wet spot,
get them locked in there, and then when you come out,
light it up, give her, give her everything.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Let's go back to the phone. Let's check in with
Gary and Inglewood. Gary, how were you, buddy?

Speaker 10 (39:36):
Hey man, I am doing great. Fishing has been good
this week. But it's funny you guys talk about catching snook.
A friend of mine inviting me down there in boc
A Grand, so I went, I don't do a lot
of night fishing, So I went down there with him
and we worked that area. You know, I'm from Florida,
but I'm not that familiar with Boca Grand, but it

(39:57):
was the railroad trust was norm yep and uh, I
could not believe the snook. It looked like there were
logs laying there like court will.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah, there's too many of them.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
We flat it was. It was like it was like
me when I'm on a nice little trout hole. It
was every cast. I couldn't believe it. We didn't bring
them all in, but it was big hits. I was
throwing top water at first, and he he was doing
better than me. So I said, well, I'll break the
rule and I put a regular hook on here and

(40:30):
start throw some live bait.

Speaker 11 (40:32):
Man.

Speaker 10 (40:33):
That was a lot of fun for sure.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Grape fishery.

Speaker 10 (40:38):
It couldn't believe the size of them. I mean we
didn't cat say anything less than twenty five. There was
you know, thirty six big I mean big ones. You
didn't even put them in like a trout. I could
tell you that my rig. My rig wasn't even good enough.

Speaker 8 (40:52):
I'd use his pulls well.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
And I'll tell you you see that many, there's ten
times that many below them. There's too many of them.
They quit us. They stopped us from killing them big ones,
and now we got too many of them.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
They'll get him started. There's a few missing.

Speaker 10 (41:11):
There's a few missing today. But I can tell you
that I like to hear that. Well they were you know,
if they if you're hooking them and you got them
gil hooked, what are you gonna do? Throw them back
in with her shark.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Come onka, I'm on with you and Ben.

Speaker 10 (41:27):
I can't waste anything. I'm not a waster.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Just a long run back to Inglewood from the past.

Speaker 10 (41:33):
There, No, no, no, we didn't.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
We didn't.

Speaker 10 (41:36):
We didn't watched Englewood. I went down there and met him.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, he's in the vehicles. Yeah, slid them.

Speaker 10 (41:43):
I'm not stupid, yep. Anyway, No, it was, it was.

Speaker 9 (43:40):
Good morning guys, Good morning? Everything all right there, I'll
behave it.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
We're missing we're missing the big fella.

Speaker 9 (43:47):
We don't have as much food.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
It hasn't been quite as what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Maybe he can tell us when he's going to be
here and that would be less riding, you know, not
a day's off. He's like these DEI hires, tell me hurts,
this hurts. That hurts. He's gonna get all his vacation
time up front.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
I can't.

Speaker 9 (44:05):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I can't ride shows. I take some time off too,
so I'm not going to ride them about that.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
It's like the employee that sets a doctor's appointment at one,
Why are you even coming in, you know, first of
the day or end of the day. It's like they
don't want any time. Why don't he take some of
that eight CC time off? But instead he puts it
all off on us. The weekend, gotta go to the weekend.
Go during the week there's less people. No, he's probably

(44:34):
going forty five miles an hour up seventy five right.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Now, I'm just looking at the trees.

Speaker 9 (44:40):
No, no, no, he looking at the roadside. Yeah, see
where the next.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
The food size.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Exactly, that's right, that's fine.

Speaker 9 (44:50):
All right, guys, this morning we gotta get serious here
a minute. We're gonna talk about some more about hurricane prep.
Yesterday we talked about sailboats. Today we're going to talk
about power boats. All right. First of all, I forgot this.
Just check your insurance policy. Make sure that you have
got your coverage already set out, because once the storm

(45:10):
is named, you cannot usually get insurance. To make sure
that insurance is paid for right now, write out a plan,
make a list. When it hits the fan twenty four
hours before or whatever, you're not going to have time
to remember all the stuff and or buy what you need.
If you need duct paper, you need more lines, or

(45:31):
you need to go and get some anti chaff protection,
you need to get it now, not wait till the
storm hits, all right. The best thing to do, of course,
is get the boats out of the water and away
from the area. If possible. If not, do not stay

(45:54):
on the boat. Do not stay on the boat. If
it's hauled, it ought to be on hard ground and
ought to be on chalks, and there ought to be
anchored down with ground anchors, strategically paced placed. Boats left
in the water should have all the vents, hole patches,
everything taped up. Get everything off the top of that

(46:18):
deck that you want to keep, because if you don't,
the storm will take it away for you. Rudders should
be tied down to stern longer double lines to accommodate
that surge. With that chap, protection needs to be set up.
If you're in a marina, make sure the dock master's

(46:39):
got a key to your boat. Make sure your batteries
are charged up. Good boats on lifts. Depending on the
surge and how high your your PBC goes and your
pilots go on each side. As to whether you ought
to take the plugs out of the back, normally, when

(47:03):
it's going to rain for a long time, you don't
want anything blocking up the water that's going to get
out of your boat. If you want how to plug out,
I want to make sure that that any any escape
holes in your boat for water are open and ready
to take them. However, if the surge is going to

(47:26):
be such that it's going to lift your boat up higher,
then you're PVC in your pilings and maybe you need
to keep that plug in. That's something you're going to
have to decide on your own. You got any thoughts
on that, Mic.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Well, you know, as you're talking, I'll tell you I
got a lot of thoughts about it. For one, if
you think insurance is going to cover you, insurance, you
have to have it. But they're a joke. I'm dealing
with insurance from eleven months ago from Anna Maria. So
my take on all this is get your boat out
of harm's way. Now, I know everybody can't do that,

(48:04):
but as many lines as you can, making sure the
batteries are charged, you know. But relying on insurance is
the craziest thing, Jim.

Speaker 9 (48:13):
They domain no, no, but you want to have it.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
That's what.

Speaker 9 (48:17):
I have the same idea about the house injury. That's right,
it generally sucks. But but I like that. Okay, I'm
sorry that the way that lady on TV on the
one commercial says, well that bites couldn't use the other
word anyway. Yes, I agree with you one hundred percent,

(48:39):
but it's you know you're gonna feel never mind.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
You better put ropes as you can on them.

Speaker 9 (48:45):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, And you want to have some really
good spring lines. Make sure you put those spring lines
on there so that if it does rise up, it's
not you know, that water is gonna the ropes can't can't,
can't fight against that. That's that water. The water's going
to win every time, every time, every time. If you're

(49:08):
going to anchor that boat, anchors should be at a
scope of ten to one, and you ought to try
to get three anchors out at about one hundred and
twenty degrees apart. If you're going to park them. If
you're going to put them on, leave them on a
trailer somewhere. Try to give them away from the trees.

(49:29):
Use those screw down anchors, those helicks anchors that you
can put in the ground like they have on trailers
in big trailer parks, and leave the plug in because
you want the water to hold the boat and the
trailer down, not let it fly away. So leave the

(49:50):
plug in. If you're going to leave it in the trailer,
only leave.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
And sometimes you know you don't want to cover or
put your boat in harm's way by filling it the water.
But there's times that we take smaller boats at Mahoney's
there and we'll put water in the hole to help
hold it into place as time.

Speaker 9 (50:09):
Yeah makes sense, Yeah, yeah yeah. Canoes and kayaks that
you can't get inside cover, you want to make sure
that you have indelible pin somewhere in there. If found,
call so and so. The Coast Guard does not have
time to go out looking for people that weren't in
a kayak or canoe in the first place. Right, well,

(50:33):
please put, if not your name and address, at least
your phone numbers so they can get in touch with
you if it gets away from the dock or off
the sea wall or something like that. Boat US has
some great hurricane prep articles. If I didn't cover enough,
or you want to back up on some of that stuff,

(50:53):
look up hurri hurricane prep on boat us website. They
got good stuff on there.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Love it. Great job, Jimmy.

Speaker 9 (51:01):
As always, all right, guys, let's just keep our fingers crossed.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Yeah, fingers crossed.

Speaker 9 (51:08):
Hope like that, yes, sir? All right boy for the
Coast Guard dogs in Saint Pete, Jim fogel be sick.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Thanks Jimmy. Good stuff right there, be ready. Save boating tip, Yeah,
no doubt. Save boating tip brought to you by our
good friends at Peppin Distributing and Bush Light, who remind
you that responsibility matters even on the water. We got
Captain Mark on the other side. We might be able
to get some dirt. That's probably the fee walk guy.

(51:35):
Mahony's already grinning because it could.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
We got the dump button right, I.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Have one, but I'm not going to use it. Probably
got to use it on you, not use it on
mister feed Walk there. He's a quality, high end captain
right there. He just hangs out with questionable people. Good stuff.
Phone lines here are open one eighty eight five four
six four six, twenty questions, comments, fish and reports, bring

(52:00):
them right here. The team a Honey Company Real Animals
Radio Show. We'll be back. Welcome back eight nineteen the
team of Honey Company Real Animals Radio Show. Got some
partners here. We want to give some love to you.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
You know we are talking about it during the break,
Soool's Tree Service. I'm gonna give the number out eight
one three eight oh two five five four to two
they were over at my mom's house this week. A
monster tree, and you would think the yard to be
torn up, everything would be torn up from hauling around
that with heavy equipment. Man, they do such a good job.

(52:36):
I couldn't even tell where they had driven in and
and actually picked up the loads.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Hard to do this time of year too, with the guns.
And then people know what they're doing, they.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Think, and they took them all day out there. But
great people. They're my go to And I'm telling you
right now, you got these storms. The only thing that
will give you a peace of mind at night when
that storm is running through and that wind is having
them trees off the house, give them a call there
eight one three, eight oh two five five four to two.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Soolstreet Service good stuff. You know, It's one of the
things I was thinking about this with. I know how
long I've known the Soools. You've been here longer than
I have. I've only lived here since nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Well, you know, Ronnie Sewell was the reason why I
got in all that trouble. He was a little bit
older than me, and I was such a bad kid
that when my brother went over to their house because
Randy Sewell and my brother were best of friends. Well,
they said, you take the devil with you and that's
and of course they wouldn't even you know, Ricky, the
one that does the the trees, he couldn't even come

(53:40):
out and play with us. His mom didn't want no
part of them hanging around that Mike Mahoney character. But man,
I've learned to throw strawberries at cars. They used to
have a strawberry fields and we'd go over there and
just have the greatest time. I've been on what was
a Diamond Hill golf course on a WYZ eighty y
Z one twenty five. We used to ripped through there

(54:00):
and they'd chase us and I could just go on
and on. Sure, but they're good. They've changed.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Well, the point to the point of the comment, sorry,
the point of the comment was is that if you
go down the list of the partners that we have,
it's people we know. We're not just bringing you a brand.
We're not just bringing you there's people. There's always people
behind the brand that we personally know that we personally
like them as human beings and know that they're not

(54:28):
out there just gouging people.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
And you know, well, you know and talking about that,
I want to go right into Tampa Bay Battery another
it's the same deal. We've been doing tons of business
with them over the years. Bobby the owner over there
at Tampa Bay Batteries, it's sixteen hundred East Bush Boulevard.
That's who private labels our batteries. And we probably got

(54:50):
I don't know three or four different battery companies that
are in our store, but you know, whenever, and my
big thing is service sure because I'm thinking of the customer.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
You're in the service industry.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Well, and you got to it's not just selling it,
it's taking care of that person after the fact. And
Bobby makes that so easy because bottom line one year
free replacement on our private label batteries. You know a
lot of times you'll go in and buy a battery
and they tell you about this pro rating. Well pro rating,
if you ever had to use it, is junk because

(55:22):
after about three quarters or a year, you're paying for
more than half the battery. With Tampa Bay Battery, it's
over the counter. I got to test them. He tests
them over the counter one year, and it's a private
label battery. It's probably the most reasonable battery and they
work good. I sell a ton of them over there.

(55:43):
Look them up, and if you're not near my store,
go to sixteen hundred East Bush Boulevard. Their number is
eight one three nine three two zero one zero eight.
Tell them real animals. Sen you great people to work with.
And just like you were saying, long history with Bobby,
good people.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
And it's interesting, we're gonna go to cat Mark feewalk here.
But we got Captain Dylan Hubbard on the line, and
I was thinking about that when I looked at the callscreen.
I mean, look, how long we've had a relationship with Hubbards.
I mean, obviously, now Dylan's in the mix and we're
doing the show together, and you know we're partners. But
I've been friends with the Hubbard family for a long time.
It's another good example of Mark Hubbard. And you know

(56:21):
Dylan's grass.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Do you remember him at the boat shows.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
I'm just saying, yeah, I mean for years and years
and years we've known these people, so we have all
these partners and it's because of these great relationships.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
I think when I met Mark, Dylan was probably still
playing video games in his room. He wasn't allowed to
go out. I didn't know if he's gonna wear a
dress or a pair of paints. But that was a
long time ago.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Let's go the let's che let's check in with Captain
Mark Freewalk Mark, how are you this morning?

Speaker 5 (56:50):
Goody, good morning guys.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
You got to save us Mark. I got this.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Man, that was a doc full you sent me last night.
Mark in a great day.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
Oh man, I gotta tell you it. Uh. And from
the other guys I've talked to that have been fishing too,
it's really picked up. Starting about mid July. It had
slowed down. It was like a grind out there. But
here recently the last week or so, man, it's just
been the fishing's just picked up tremendously. Uh. Yesterday we
started like one sixty and there were some fish in there.

(57:27):
We were messing around, but we had a long trip,
so we we caught like four or five nice snapper.
Uh No grouper picked up and ran out to about
one ninety and it was just complete fire. Every stop
that should have had fish on it had fish on it.
There were more snappers than what to do with, but
half a dozen nice scamp, a bunch of big trigger fish.

(57:49):
Red Grouper Limited Red snapper, nice tuna, hit the hit
the ice yesterday. The fishing out there just really here
in the last week.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Was that a west heading mark? Were you out there west?

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Yeah? Yeah? Is that because you're getting away west? Is
that because you're getting away from that full moon? You think?

Speaker 5 (58:09):
I mean, well, yeah, all that, especially with the group
or that full moon's tough. You know that you can
right up to it is good, but that week after
it's real tough. But even before that, ran a couple
of trips and it just as a general rule, it
was a it's been a grind. I mean there's this
year in particular has been a grind out there. But uh,

(58:30):
I was really surprised how much, how much livelier all
the fish seemed on our trip yesterday. I mean, this
time of year, you'll you'll you'll hit a spot and
it'll literally be covered with snapper, like big fish moving
around and you drop and they just won't touch They
just won't eat anything.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
What about sharks?

Speaker 5 (58:50):
So another thing, I didn't say the word shark yesterday
till about two o'clock. We had two fish sharked yesterday,
probably the few shark encounters I've had, and I don't
I can't even tell you how long because it's been
so bad this year and last year too, But we
actually yesterday was just just a pleasure to fish. Man.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Awesome, man, that was a heck of a dock. I
thought you I thought at first when I looked at it,
I thought it was Howard's picture from the thirty nine hour.
I mean, that was a loaded Who was counting those fish?

Speaker 5 (59:26):
Well, you know, we count before we take the pictures. Yeah,
before you put that picture online, because you know, you know,
it gets crazy out there, people throwing fish around and uh,
you know. But yeah, it was a good day out there.
I was really really glad to see the fish just

(59:48):
acting right. My buddy at the Doctor has been fishing
a lot in that hundred to one hundred and twenty
foot running eight hour trips, and uh, the yellow tail
fishing is picked up over the last week, really good.
He had a nice big box of nice yellow tails,
nice mangoes. Those guys are fishing, hitting the wrecks basically
any of the recks you have between one hundred and
hundred and twenty feet decent tide movement. They've been good.

(01:00:12):
Some of the fish are shy, they don't want to
come up to the top. Go ahead and sink your
baits on down to the bottom twenty five pound twenty
pound leter if they're getting shy, you know. And he's
been doing really well on the stuff in there. The
red grouper bite yesterday as well. There was a period
in time where you couldn't buy a red grouper between
I mean from two hundred feet in you just couldn't

(01:00:34):
find any fish. And I talked to someboddies of mine
and they had moved in really shallow ninety five to
one hundred and five feet. For the last few weeks
there was a great run of red grouper in there.
But yesterday we went out, two other boats that went out.
It was just like magically the red grouper appeared or
started eating whatever it was. But really encouraged by the
bite yesterday, and from what I saw the guys that

(01:00:56):
fished the two days before yesterday, they said the same thing.
Just you know, some fish have moved back into the
areas that there should be fishing where there weren't earlier
this year. So it's been really good.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Love it. Tell about yeah, tell everybout how they can
get a hold of you. That's a great report. Talk
about how they can get a hold you and get
out there some fish I will.

Speaker 5 (01:01:16):
I want to say one thing. We have a gag
group or season that starts September first. I think I've
still got like six or seven days open. It runs
until the fourteenth. We have been running into some real,
real nice gags out in this deeper water. I'm talking
twenty pounds plus nice. Not many small fish, not big
numbers of fish. But if we're hitting areas where there's

(01:01:37):
a lot of them, I tend to move away from
the gag numbers just because we're leaving them alone until
they open up. But all these fish, many many rusty
bellies up to forty two inches, a lot of big
book out there, and they are on the bait schools
right now. If you guys are out there bouncing around
those big schools of bait, I know sometimes you drop

(01:01:58):
in them, you don't catch anything. To the edge of
those bait schools, every single one of them has got
a big gag on it. I have not been to
one yet where we didn't pull a big old gag
off the edge of them. So hit that you can
call me to get out there and whack some fish
September first through fourteenth, Give me you call. Still got
some days hoping eight one three three three three eight
two five seven markinfish dot com on Facebook, on Instagram

(01:02:20):
at market fish check out some picks.

Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
Get all hyped up.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Let's go whack them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Man can always give us You can always give me
a call to one eight sixty six Game Fish. I
love to send people to market does a great job.
One of the great offshore charter captains here on the
west coast of Florida. Just good people catching them up,
so great report. Mark. We appreciate you man.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Well done, Thank you my brother, Hi pal.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Good stuff right there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
What else he's got shade? Yeah, Mark has built a
shade you know, deal that comes off as t top
and it makes all the difference in the world, no doubt.
Hot day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Shade's important. Shade is important. Speaking of shade, with Mahoney
throwing some shade at every boy, Yeah, cat dylanoverd he
is gonna be up next. We're gonna hear from the
A team. Get an offshore report from him as well.

from d D hubs. What's up buddy?

Speaker 7 (01:04:24):
Oh not much. I always regret calling in. I have
not every time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Oh man, he always shows, he always show. He always
shows shade at you when you're not standing right next
to him.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Well, have you've seen the size?

Speaker 7 (01:04:45):
It's it's a term of endearment for mahony. If he
wasn't messing with me, I would I would be concerns.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
That's statement.

Speaker 7 (01:04:54):
Yeah, exactly. I feel like the more I get to
know him and the closer friends we are, the worst.
He is beautiful, the great relationship.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Thanks Dylan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Do you know what he did? He just had a
mubble where he went, wow, Dylan gets me.

Speaker 7 (01:05:13):
Yeah, Mark hit the nail on the head. I mean,
it's amazing to me. He still has slots open for
a gag groupers, so if you're looking for a charter,
definitely booked those up because the gag bite has been insane.
The thirty nine hour trip came in this morning. We
went a little bit of a different route this past trip,
instead of hunting for those mangrove snapper and staying in

(01:05:35):
an area where we knew we could get a bunch
of mangroves and still catch our limit of red snapper.
We went out to a different area where we were
hunting for bigger red snapper and knew we'd have a
little bit more of a pick, a little bit more
of a hunt for mangroves, but we were going for quality,
not quantity, and it really panned out. Unfortunately, the mangrove

(01:05:55):
bite was a little tougher than we would have liked.
Definitely struggled to get the numb and mangroves we wanted.
But man, the big red snapper were there in force.
Got a ton of them, some really big scamp grouper,
some nice triggerfish, a few nice muttons again, but what
was really surprising was the numbers, the just all around

(01:06:20):
aggressiveness and just prolific concentrations of gag grouper. At one
point Will, Captain Will came down the stairs to check
and see what was going on, and he said, the
entire back of the boat as far as he could see,
so four or five spots up the sides, across the
entire back, everybody was hooked up and it was all gags.

(01:06:40):
It was just insane. Yeah, we had three or four
descending devices going all the venting tools going, and we
were struggling to keep up. So instead of normally we
kind of tell everybody to reel them up and we
slowly pull off a spot. Once everybody's reeled up, Will
ran upstairs, has turned to both engines on and put

(01:07:01):
her in geared, started pulling off the spot while people
had fish hooked up trying to get away from those
gag grouper And it was intense the numbers in areas
that fish get up on a spot. See a good show,
see the red snapper up in the water column, drop down,
and if you've got too close to the bottom, it
was a gag grouper. So it was a little bit

(01:07:22):
of a challenge staying away from just the voracious gag
grouper bite that we saw on this trip. But plenty
of good eating fish. And we're looking forward to September.
First man going to go out there and put a
mountain of gags on the boat. For sure, it's going
to be interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
What causes that. I'm a little concerned, what causes that
all of a sudden, just you know, the.

Speaker 7 (01:07:45):
Bite management management, I mean, we have all been restricted.
Look at the commercial fleet is pretty much essentially closed.
They've been on a fifty pound trip limit self imposed
for two or three years now. The recreational fleet. I
mean we've had what we had thirty five forty days
and nineteen days. This year we got fifteen days. So

(01:08:08):
we have been overregulated for this species, and we're being
regulated on gags based on twenty nineteen data. And I
have a strong feeling that this interim analysis, this updated
science we're going to see at this upcoming meeting, at
this Golf Council meeting, I think the science has to

(01:08:30):
show what we're seeing on the water. We have to
see a big pulse and catch recommendations and hopefully they
can implement them quickly because the species is bouncing back
and it's exciting.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Good good love to hear that. Yeah, good stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:08:47):
Yeah. I mean, gags don't spawn this time of year, so,
like to your question, what causes that. It's not like
they're concentrated spawning, at least they shouldn't be. The understanding
the science reflects that they spawn early in the year
like that that springtime February March April May, that's kind
of the time that the gags get really concentrated, and

(01:09:10):
that's when they do those big spawningnags. So I don't know,
it's it's a strange time, but it's definitely everybody I
think would agree that we're seeing more gag grouper now
than we did five ten years ago. And the only
thing that makes sense to me is just we haven't
been able to keep them.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Yeah, well, man, I mean, you know that's the goal.
I mean, it works for yeah, herds, works for you
know a lot of things, so that's good.

Speaker 7 (01:09:34):
It worked for red Snapper. I mean, look at red Snapper.
When I was a kid, I'd never seen a red snapper,
and then all of a sudden, they locked them down
and now we got them everywhere. It's crazy. So management
sometimes does work. It's frustrating and it's annoying, and the
process is mind boggling, but hey, we've seen it. I mean,

(01:09:54):
look at sharks. They lock down sharks. Now they're everywhere.
We can walk across them and can't get away from them,
and unfortunately that's biting us in the butt a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
There's the same way.

Speaker 7 (01:10:06):
Yeah, right, well not anymore. And on the bearfront, man,
I'm still getting death threats on this whole deal. All
I said was FWC does a good job. The science
supports a bear hunt. And you would have thought I
talked about killing kids or something. Man, these people are
coming after me.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Well, and it's a bunch of keyboard warriors. I wouldn't
worry about it. I've dealt with a few talking to
them on there. But they're not going to be the
ones that show up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
You know what I mean. I don't think they really
want to show up at your house. Still, No, I
really don't.

Speaker 7 (01:10:35):
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
I'm excited. I know you. I'm going to be upset.
I don't get a call if you schedule something with somebody,
a meet up somewhere, and I don't get a phone.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
Called to join you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
You and I are no longer friends.

Speaker 7 (01:10:48):
Just so you know, well, I want to be any evidence.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
That's fine. We can cover up the evidence together. I
don't care. I want to be there because I'm want
to pull the meat head that's with him out of
the truck. I get the other for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:11:04):
I can tell you when the exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
Are there, come at you, come at you with the windmill.

Speaker 7 (01:11:17):
That's awesome, but yeah, exciting times. And we're on the
eve of that guy Grouper season and then right after that,
it won't be too long until we're on the doorstep
of the hogfish coming back in the mackerel and kingfish
showing back up, and it's an exciting time. We're right
there again, right on the doorstep of that transition period.

(01:11:41):
Some of my favorite times a year, so looking forward
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Tell everybody how they can find you, my brother.

Speaker 7 (01:11:47):
Check us out tonight seven thirty pm on the Real
Animals and Hubbard's Marina Facebook and the Hubbard's Marina YouTube.
We're doing that live show where we give away fifteen
dollars in free trips. You could look us up at
Hubbardsmarina dot com and we look forward to seeing everybody.
Don't forget if you're too busy to go fishing, you're
just too darn busy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Great job, my brother, have a great week.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Thanks Dylan, see you later, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Thank you hr Buddy, good stuff right there. Can you
imagine being ignorant enough to death threat that monster. I'm
a pretty big See.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
There's some warriors out there. I had one a couple
of weeks ago. Okay, picture this one early seventies, early seventies,
old man drinking too much and every night at eight
or nine o'clock he wants to chew on me. And
I'm thinking, oh, you don't even have a clue. You're
seventy some years old, old man, what do you But

(01:12:37):
of course I gotta be nice. I'm on you know.
Usually Facebook is a little bit different for me. I'm
the opposite. I'm not going to argue with you on
social media. I'd rather be right in your face. Yeah,
for sure, because the trash you're talking ain't gonna go.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Well, that's just, it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
But it's fun. It's fun to watch him like a
seventy year old telling me I can't go to the desert.
I've been to the desert. I hunted the whole week

Brother alright, take care.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
Yeah. C c A is doing great stuff. The CCA
Florida Star Tournament here is open until Labor Day. Uh
so that's wrapping up just the things they're doing over
there at CCA, absolutely spectacular. So if you're not a
member of c c A, we highly recommend go to
CCA Florida dot org and become a member. Help make

(01:15:54):
a difference in our estuaries, no doubt about it. Good stuff, Hollo,
you've been working Have you been doing that thing since
it started? Right? You guys have been one of the sponsors.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
I would think, I know I've been sponsoring it. Mahony's
has for the whole time, but the title sponsor I
think actually came around eighth nine. Okay, that kind of deal. Yeah,
it was, you know, things were tough and housing French
and we stepped up, worked a deal with them, and

(01:16:25):
they've kept it steady and it's it's worked out great
for us. Who better to support than somebody that's fighting
for the recreational fishermen and that CCA. You know, there's
no way you could not be part of that, you
know what I mean, they releasing fish now. Lisa, she
you know, she's in. And of course all my customers

(01:16:48):
from Richard Sewer, Dave Marquette's and all the original guys
from the FCA that started that. I mean, it was
a good group of guys. I would say every one
of them was. You know, the Tampa chapter was definitely
customers and elsewhere you know, Lakeland we go to. You know,
you have customers all over that are supporting. And one
of the things a few years ago, if you think

(01:17:09):
about it, the attendance was low. So that was mine
and your goal. I remember us talking about it and
getting these things rolling, getting the memberships rolling. That tournament.
If you remember the CCA, everybody wanted that redfish sticker.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Yeah, you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
You see all these sticker everybody. I call people sticker
boy all the time because they sticker up their windows.
But you were somebody if you could get a hold
of that sticker by being a member and putting it
on that back window of the vehicle, and it was
something you saw all over the place. Well that kind
of dropped and what happens is other organizations come in.
But I can tell you there's nothing wrong with with charities.

(01:17:49):
But CCA is definitely one that's doing something. We've all
seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
It's who we support, sure, no doubt about it. I
agree with you totally. That's real quick here, just a
couple of minutes for the end, no callers. Let's I
want to talk about trailers. You know, I was trailering
the the ko down to the down to the keys there.
What I mean something with tires. Tires in the heat
make me nervous. I mean, you're running that, you know,

(01:18:17):
trailer sixty to five to seventy seventy five miles an
hour down the interstate, and even if it's a tandem
axle trailer, it doesn't really matter to me. The roads
are so hot, it's so hot out. I would think
that further south, I would think that would have a
huge effect this time of year in particular.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Well, and you know what, people a lot of times
they get crossed up when they buy a new trailer
or a trailer. They think that the brakes and the
trailer and all that should should kind of be, you know,
last as long as the car breaks right, the car tires,
And it's not that way. It's a bias applied tire.
Even if you get radials, the only on a trailer tire,

(01:18:57):
the only thing that's a radial is the tread itself.
The sidewalk still has to be a bias ply for
that give people will come in all the time and say, well,
my tires are only four years old, And I look
at him like, you are crazy. Why would you toe
with four year old tires? The keys run is about
the worst for us here. I've gone through as many

(01:19:20):
as six tires driving down there. But one thing that's
really helped me out, Mike, is I don't tow over
seventy anymore. I had a customer that buy tires from
me every week because he had a bunch of trailers
with the same size tire at his work, and his
workers would tow him wherever he was and then all
of a sudden, I didn't see him for about a month.

(01:19:42):
This is a guy you see once a week by
and tires, and all of a sudden, a month goes
by and you don't see him. Well, he came back
in and I asked him, hey, man, where you've been.
He's like, you know what, I dropped my speed down
to seventy miles an hour, and my tires last longer.
When you're getting up there, it's not like just because

(01:20:02):
you got that diesel truck and you don't feel anything
behind you. You should really, and I guarantee you this,
those tires let go. That boat goes out of control
and you're running eighty even it's seventy. You don't want
that with a single axle. You know, you don't know

(01:20:23):
where it's going to go, right, It's going to come
off the back of that truck.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Even I was thinking about, you know, tomorrow, I'm headed
up to Georgia just for a little quick run, but
just towing the buggy in a single a utility trailer. Yeah,
you blow a tire with you know, and that thing
starts to get squirreling. Now you're dumping your buggy and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
I leave mat stay in the right lane bad Yeah,
stay at seventy or under and those tires will last
you twice as long as we just put them on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
I just had mine service touff to your place and
we just replaced him when they were two years old.

Speaker 3 (01:20:55):
But and you got a spare and they're ready for it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Yeah. Yeah. My apology is to Richard on the South Shore, Bob,
the're in Tarpet Sprains. We didn't get a chance to
get you guys in here. Definitely apologize for that, but
appreciate everybody that did call in. We appreciate everybody that
joined us. Commented on the live Facebook feed Miss Big
Ben this morning, we didn't get our breakfast and.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
Yeah, Ben uh needs to tell us when he's gonna
be here. It'd be less time than when he's not
gonna be here, and start taking some of that time
from your other job. Why do we always get the
blunt of it? Oh yeah, I got a doctor's appointment
at one. Why'd you make it at one? Well, that's
when they told me that's the funniest excuse, not from

(01:21:40):
Ben but employees in general. Oh that's when they told me, Well,
you don't have to accept that because they tell you
the one that they can't fill, You tell them I
got to be here at eight or five, one of
the two. But no, we're gonna take the whole day
off for an appointment.
