Re: Gulfstream Key Largo
he sometimes has or catches speedos. a live pinfish usually gets a hit or two as well. the fresher the better. that is for grouper and bigass buttoms. for yellowtails i use their bait but i think hes been hitting the grouper and mutton spots lately. i always bring a jigging rod wherever i go now even to walmart just in case.

If we bring fresh speedos best place to get them any ideas, on the way down where they can be bought or do you all just stop and grab them?

Re: Gulfstream Key Largo
If by some magical chance a bait shop had them to sell you would be paying upwards of $60-$80 a dozen. You best bet is to catch them from the boat

Re: Gulfstream Key Largo
The highest priced bait in this area. I've seen guys charge googans $100-$150 a dz... theyre killer just not worth the bread imo good thing is they like to hang in the chum line over the reefsilovefishing wrote:baseball4life702 wrote:If by some magical chance a bait shop had them to sell you would be paying upwards of $60-$80 a dozen.

Re: Gulfstream Key Largo
I've been on there a couple times, good but not great bottom fishing, ur best luck is to yellowtail . If you bottom fish, I recommend a whole sardine or something like that, yellowtail a jig head with fresh shrimp as they don't use sand balls. If u are really into yellowtailing and have a pair of shoes to get dirty I highly recommend Bud n Mary's party boat.

Re: Gulfstream Key Largo
Um Gulfstream definitely uses sandballs, they are known for it and why they are so much better than other party boats including bud n Mary's boat the miss islamorada which is a tourist driven boat, they are notorious for giving away spots and coming in early.IceBoy wrote:I've been on there a couple times, good but not great bottom fishing, ur best luck is to yellowtail .
