bit yeah people around the world that travel go to Key West for The Nightlife but the way I think about going to Key West first hand is to go fishing and then go do all the bar crawling and all that

permit it's a Bonefish and it's a Target the thing that I love about Key West and its Fisheries that it's challenging it is not easy and when you think that you've got something figured out and saw water fishing you can come down here and put your skills to the test I consider this to be the Olympics of flat fishing foreign to go out fishing with somebody or you're going out to do you know a day

guides like yourself become so knowledgeable and have you know just know the tides and the banks and the the edges in the back country and the ocean and because I mean you basically came down to the Keys and you said I'm become a fishing guide I've always been had an insatiable appetite for knowledge whatever I'm interested in and when I moved down there I literally felt like I'd gone to heaven it was so beautiful so much places where you there was you'd ride out there and never see anybody over in these islands and you go I wonder what's over there I remember a quote that you made mention to me this quote is from you speaking to me obviously we're running back to the Laurel line and we're looking at the Petersons and I asked you this question I don't know if you remember when I asked you this I bet you I know exactly what you're going to ask me what'd I say you're going to say how did you learn this country over here and I said I saw a guy run through this cut one day and I went I wonder what's back over there yeah you said to me I wonder what's Over the Horizon yeah and then the next time I went out guess what I did I went there right and I ran back I just ran around and I saw Tarpon and saw these Banks and I go holy how am I going to learn all of this let's watch this and other full-length episodes of the Milhouse podcast go to YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts I

it's an island when you think of the Florida Keys you think about fish boating you know being on the water and there's one place that sticks out so much further than all the rest that's Key West people around the world that travel to the Keys go to Key West for The Nightlife they're going for the dinners they're going to go ride jet skis and go parasailing and ride mopeds around with their buddies but the way I think about going to Key West is firsthand is to go fishing and then go do all the bar crawling and all that at the end of the fishing oh boys it's about to go down we got a permit and then now we're bonefishing and it's just a complete different layout landscape of where we're fishing from one species to the next and I'm out here trying to catch these singles or pairs of Bonefish in six inch water I mean I have to get out for them get out a walk they're so spooky and so aware of us I tried to be I tried to be like a hair man trying to creep up on this thing just to get just to be able to flip a cast in there to to get the next species done I'm like a stork it's like a stork try to put it close to him as soon as he came out there I slid it then he said no we were able to pull off a permit we spent most of the day looking for a Bonefish we jumped a tarp and we finally found a good amount of Bonefish over some white shallow bottom and they're not happy when they're over that you know they're super sketched out we couldn't get within 100 feet of them we tried walking to them we tried leading them by 10 feet we tried putting their face everything just wasn't working oh got him there we go baby got a bag come on slice it slice it that's awesome man it's great how would you compare these bones in relation to Islamorada bones the ones in Alvarado like you guys fish them different you know you guys are real shallow water up here and they're tailing and stuff man I'm usually looking for bowls deeper water you know there's just Mudders they're easier that way cool man thank you thank you thank you all I can do is find them you got to put the cast on them oh man go to sleep go to sleep sleep oh man what a gorgeous wow beautiful look at that camouflage how perfectly that matches that grass just let it go ready come on there we go love it man look at that you know you forget what you're doing look at this so I literally proposed to my wife like in this sand spot really right here yeah this is where you propose it right here [Music] she made it look easier than what I just did if there was a giant School of like 25 of them it was perfect but it all worked out a lot well you know that's special meant to be meant to be look at this I can't wait I can't wait to see her and meet her tonight all right all right [Music] look at the fish

Trail trailers load launch relax [Music] oh my God and now a minute from our conservation partner Bonefish and Tarpon Trust Biscayne Bay is an international destination for recreation of all types but especially for fishing including Bonefish Tarpon and permit the bay is home to a state aquatic preserve a national park and a national Marine sanctuary but Biscayne Bay is in trouble poor water quality seagrass loss algal blooms and fish kills have all been documented in the bay and are due in large part to its close proximity to urban areas that deliver excess nutrients to the system the Bay's Health depends on taking action to fix and upgrade Wastewater infrastructure eliminating Wastewater outfalls converting septic systems to sewer minimizing other nutrient sources and ultimately restoring lost habitat that supports our iconic Fisheries for the first time in response to these challenges Miami-Dade County is developing a formal plan to do just that it's called a reasonable Assurance plan and it will lay out a path forward for the northern portion of the bay where the impacts are most severe once the wrap as it's called is completed it will be sent to the state for approval making the county eligible for grant funding to address these issues in another positive move the county recently adopted a strong ordinance that restricts the use of fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus during the wetter months of the year to reduce runoff into the bay these are really important steps towards improving the condition of Biscayne Bay and BTT will continue to advocate for these and many more to come to learn more visit btt.org all right you know we got one last spot on the way in let's just try it you know I've been seeing some fish there late in the afternoon let's give it a go we pull up there and the wind picks up you know it's blowing 25 to 30 just cranking straight into the face currents ripping at us oh God oh God you silly gooses and as I'm
