Heath, you are one of the few content creators that truly teaches man. Most "instructional" videos in Youtube about fishing are just clips of people talking crap/reeling in. Your details are greatly appreciated. Happy holidays from Port St Lucie.

My dad showed me your page. This page deserves much more views . Great work ! Thank you!

[francoisdewaal]

Very informative thanks. Also teaching us to use waay cheaper lures than most channels, who promote the expensive stuff you buy ready made.

Also your leaders are much lighter than what Im used to in South Africa ( my home), where we use 150lbs leader on 30lbs gear for example. It impedes the action

Definitely will try your lures on lighter leaders

Wow, did I ever learn a lot from that that episode! Especially the marlin/wahoo section. I’m sure that you’d have to have heavy duty fishing rods and reels to troll that fast with all the weight of the lures!

[johnandrewservice]

You’re absolutely spectacular Heath. Thanks for sharing your wonderful insights Onelove.

[pauloaugusto]

Thank you for the always great info!! This is my go to youtube channel every time I need to learn something

[manuelvaldesvaldes]

Thanks for your expertise thanks to you I’m catching a lot more fish so does my kids

[jimcole]

Great set ups and tactics. Thanks for the informative videos.

[wwalkeriv]

This was very informative and you put a lot of work into it. Thanks.

[TheAquaman]

Watching from Australia. Thanks for my trolling education mate 👍

[ivanvazquez]

Hi heath, instead of Treble hooks un the deep diver, you can use inline hooks for lures, great video 😃🎉

Hi Heath, That was a really good video on the different trolling lures. I use the white bucktail jigs for flounder, blue fish and striped bass. They can be cast from shore and worked close to the bottom. A trailer makes them swim along the bottom. If you add a Gulp swimming mullet as a trailer, they are great for flounder. Since I don't have a boat, I don't use the other lures. I wish I lived in Florida !!!! Stay safe and good luck, Mickey

[WereAllThatBored]

Yup. I dont put a trailer on my trolling skirts and have zero issues catching fish. They hit it no matter what.

[frederickk]

Watched this a few times now as I’ve been rigging up my own lures and find the info well presented and helpful. The where and why’s of usage is an added bonus. Cheers Heath.

[jdiez]

As always very instructive videos, Thanks!
Heath, do you target any type of fish all year around or do you target different types according with the season, that could be a great topic for your next video.

[AdventureswithaaronB]

I like the yo Zurich crystal minnows, nice vid

[ftelarico]

Great job Heath, your series of vids are tremendously informative and practical. Being a novice at saltwater, I wonder how far behind the boat do you troll your lures? I know speed and weight are factors, but let's say the 1 oz. bucktail at 6 knots, as an example.

[jkoco]

Amazing video Heath!! I'm from Wisconsin but I get down to West Palm 2x year. What lures do you recommend for fishing/ trolling West Palm Beach waters? Thank you for all the lures, set ups, tactics.

[sunilramnath]

Capt, Heath. I have watched this video a few times. Very detailed yet simple enuff for even the novice fisher can understand. Excellently Presented!!
Question: Have you tried casting and retrieving the squid skirts if top water predators are observed feeding (like the Jack Crevalle or Mahi Mahi etc.)? Or, are these predominantly recommended used for trolling? Here in Trinidad, fishermen have set out some FADS (Fish Attracting Devices) and currently the Mahi are in the waters and tend to hang around these structures to feed on the bait fish. Normally we use Bucktail jigs and they are VERY EFFECTIVE...just wanted to know if you have had luck catching the Mahi using the squid skirts as a cast and retrieve lure. Thank you again for your response in advance.

Hi Heath, another great informative episode. Just wondering about the connection between the wire leader and your main line. Is it attached wth a swivel and the haywire twist and the mainline has a snap swivel? Thanks again.
