-: On this season of Beyond Debate brought to you
by Streamli, we continue our pursuit
of saltwater game fish this time from Aila Marada in the
heart of the Florida Keys, where the abundance of forage,
the diverse habitat and the comfortable water temperatures
attract a wide array of fun and exciting species.
Join us as we target some of the keys best on
beyond the eight next.
There's not too many places
where you can catch more than one species
of game fish at the same time.
But here in a Islam and the Florida Keys is very doable.
In fact, captain Mark Gilman says he's got a number of spots
where we can catch both snook and redfish at the same time.
It sounds like a very exciting plan
and we aim to prove it right.
We've got some exciting action in store
as we pull away from one really productive spot.
You know the cool thing is that I
know we're going to another one.
-: Absolutely. As the tide goes, my brain starts to turn
and I'm already thinking about the
next spot in the progression.
-: Well, you know, as we're moving up with the tide,
I mean we keep on fighting fish at every stop.
So we got full confidence in you, captain. I appreciate it.
-: Hopefully I can support your confidence. Let's get
-: A shot.
You've delivered so far at every spot,
so I have no questions. It's
-: Still early Looking good.
Yeah, it's a little trench right here that can
hold some little guys from time to time.
Let's give it a shot. Alright.
Alright, let's grab our rigs there. Let's do it.
The tide's going left to right here so we want to kind
of start probably a little bit to our left.
Okay. You know, you don't need to be super close.
The trench is like, you know,
just off the shore a little ways so just you know,
nice cast down there and just let him sweep.
Got a fish here. This looked alright.
Ooh, you got hit right away, huh? Something there?
Something's still banging. I don't know what that is.
Doesn't look like a snook though. Or a tarpon. Maybe a jack.
-: Yep.
Fish on sneak.
That's a sneak that looks familiar.
Looks like a sn. Only smaller.
You wanna bring 'em on this side? Yeah. Yep. Beautiful.
Lots of fun. Yeah, look at very healthy fish. Yeah.
Nice and yellow fish. There we go. See you later.
We love 'em all. Thank you. All sizes.
And we got a red fish. We got a red fish.
-: Keep on 'em out just in case there's sharks. Yep.
Excellent.
-: There's a shark right there coming.
There's a shark right there. No, no. Keep it coming. Keep.
No, got 'em. Save them.
We had a close encounter with a big lemon shark
that came out from under the boat.
Totally unexpected. We hadn't seen any signs of sharks
until then and try to eat one of the red fish at boat side.
It missed that fish by about one inch.
That red fish has no idea how lucky it was.
It could have been a meal that was literally an inch away
from the shark's mouth. Wow.
-: Saved by the bell right there. You, you saved his life.
-: Mr. Redfish, you have no idea how lucky you are
or maybe you, you do
-: Sometimes when you get a lot of redfish in one area,
it's never to your disadvantage not to add a little bit
of scent to the water.
So if you have a few extra pils
or some that didn't survive it can't hurt.
Just to pitch them in and see if that'll keep the reds,
you know, centralized or located in the zone you're fishing.
So I always recommend a little chum helper. It.
It can't hurt, that's for sure.
-: Got 'em. And it's a red fish.
All right, we have a red fish. Yes sir.
-: Nice red. -: Look at the blue on the tip of the tail.
-: Beautiful. -: Nice fish. Yeah.
-: Placement. Placement. Placement.
You made the perfect cast and the reward was waiting.
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
-: Yes sir. -: That is
-: Another red. Red right
-: There.
Another one.
-: The snooker taking a little break.
So I give the a red fish a chance to find a bait.
Amazing beauty.
-: Alright, beautiful fish Alex. Well done. Thank you sir.
Great cast, great reward. Thank you.
