How many thought this was Boating 101?
How many New boat owners are buying 2 or 3 outboard engines as a first boat?

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

You'd be surprised.

Guy Villeneuve - 5 years ago

Really guys, you want to do something different, you want to provide good safety information and advice...great, but don't make it a fake safety video with a bunch of selling adds... Let go on the adds guys, honestly, way too much!

david wright - 5 years ago

A 100% wast of time trying to watch any videos from here nothing but advertisement after advertisement don't even wast your time guys.............

YOU'VE GOT TO GET YOUR SHOW ON THE OUTDOORS CHANNEL FOR US!! THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE BOATING SHOW, WITH MY FAVORITE BOAT AND YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thank you. - Capt Mike

Chris.S1169 - 5 years ago

Good video,to many commercials,but very educational,your very informative.I would have liked more educational information than ads.Thank you and keep teaching,those of us considering getting into boating for the first time need to hear this stuff.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

Jim Thompson - 5 years ago

Too many ads. This is what killed tv.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

You could FF through commercials if you'd like but our goal is promote our partners. Without their support, there would be no Florida Sport Fishing TV. Thank you in any case. - Capt Mike

Kevin Murray - 5 years ago

Are you kidding me. Two minutes of intelligence and crazy advertising. Your advertisers own you and I’m out!

Phil Giellea - 5 years ago

No advertisements = no program. Cameras cost money, post production software costs money, staff costs money. In a perfect world all would be free, but the world isn't perfect.

My first video on your channel... A 26 minute video and so far I'm guessing at least 20 of it is ads. Not even bothering to finish watching the video.

Greg Colin - 5 years ago

OMG so many fucking commercials!!

Gary Miller - 5 years ago

I tried to watch this just for fun but the constant advertisements both for the show and YouTube were bullshit and made it unwatchable.

TAI - 5 years ago

Good content. I can put up with the ads.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thank you. - Capt Mike

Mike Curtis - 5 years ago

Guys, the ads and commercials kill what would be a great, informative video. Seriously, it felt like for every minute of actual content, you are hammering us with two minutes of ads and commercials.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

We are taking steps to reduce the number of advertisers, don't give up on us. - Capt Mike

Elviorion - 5 years ago

Yeah, I couldn't get through the video...your commercials + your monetized commercials = no actual content. You seem like a very informed guy, and your presentation seems good...can't get past the constant advertising though.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thanks for watching and please don't give up on us. We've contemplating eliminating YouTube promos. Give me a little time to make that happen. - Capt Mike

Lake Side Bros - 5 years ago

I freaking hate this dude but he keeps coming up on my que

Lake Side Bros - 5 years ago

Florida Sport Fishing
You are correct you are probably a good guy I just hate the show not you

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Hate me, you don't even know me? Why don't we spend a day fishing together and we'll see if I can change your mind. - Capt Mike

bobbydigital7136 - 5 years ago

Tons of advertisements...

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

Butthole Tickler - 5 years ago

It's a lot better to put your rope on the center cleat at the mid point of the boat. That way the stern can't swing away from the dock. If it tries the bow will stop it and vise Versa also it's a lot closer to the console if you are boating solo.

Butthole Tickler - 5 years ago

Florida Sport Fishing yes short term docking I should have specified. Great videos

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Yes, there are certainly situations where that would be the right move. - Capt Mike

TechN9cian01 - 5 years ago

27 minute video with somehow 28 minutes of advertisment. Barely has enough time to say "boat" before another ad.

Rameen Bakhtiary - 5 years ago

Completely agree! I couldn't finish due to frustration from an ad every 30 seconds!

Stephen Brunette - 5 years ago

I had to stop watching this video!!!..too many damn commercials!!!... Don't waste your time!!!

Matt_Waddy - 5 years ago

Yup. I just commented the same before I saw yours. My first video on this channel and I didn't even bother finishing this one. Too many ads to even present useful information. Greed outweighs the entertainment and educational value.

Maybe in my next life

Adventure Fishing - 5 years ago

Florida Sport Fishing bout to check out

Adventure Fishing - 5 years ago

Florida Sport Fishing yea, and happiness hopefully

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

What, a boat?

Ian Mackney - 5 years ago

Interesting video but way too many adverts.

Ian Mackney - 5 years ago

End!

SunFlower - 5 years ago

Oh sorry, I thought since you made a comment on a public forum with a reply button you might expect someone to respond. My bad, I didn't know you were such a snowflake. Maybe the internet isn't for you.

Ian Mackney - 5 years ago

Oops my bad. I just assumed, seeing as you stuck your head above the parapet, you had a vested interest. My mistake, just another person wanting to poke their beak into a conversation they weren't invited to join.

SunFlower - 5 years ago

Ian Mackney this isn’t my video.

Ian Mackney - 5 years ago

SunFlower sometimes I do some pro bono work but that’s not really the point.
I’ve given you some viewer feedback and as is your prerogative, you’ve chosen to ignore it.
Given the choice between watching your videos which are really interesting but have way too many adverts. Or watching say Deermeatfordinner who also have really interesting fishing videos but don’t have any adverts, I’ll be watching them.
This is the rub... Your video was great but I’ve not watched anymore of your videos because the one I watched had too many videos.
What you do with customer feedback is up to you. You can ignore it or act on it.
Happy fishing.

SunFlower - 5 years ago

Ian Mackney making videos is time consuming and costs money. You the viewer is getting a quality production for free. Why are you complaining ? Do you expect all content creators to make videos for free ? Do you work for free ?

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

david sanders - 5 years ago

Very nice video. I love Florida fishing. But you are not Darcizzle. Sorry.

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

You're right about that! - Capt Mike

JOCSAN O. SANTIAGO - 5 years ago

Great content but chill out with the advertisements.. way too many that was crazy. Other than that great video

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

Robert De Leon Jr - 5 years ago

Awesome training, thanks for the safety inspection part

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

Cliffepoos - 5 years ago

Content is great but the constant adverts suck and ruin the video.

JulietBravo628 - 5 years ago

What happened to that capsized yacht in the background at 15:54?

Justin Riggs - 5 years ago

Went down during Irma

Florida Sport Fishing - 5 years ago

They hauled that thing up and out with a huge crane on a barge, quite the site to see. - Capt Mike

Hamburgers007 - 6 years ago

Wow, that's a lot of commercials! Skip to 6minutes

Tyler Metcalf - 6 years ago

I notice this new SeaVee doesn’t have a tower like your past boats did. Obviously a tower gives you an advantage, but would you say you really notice a big disadvantage not having one? Thanks a lot, great information as always.

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Correct, I removed the tower because I moved houses and have to deal with a fixed bridge. The tower is very nice when trolling for dolphin and a huge advantage. Also looks great! Otherwise, I don't miss it too much. - Capt Mike

Orlos The Druid - 6 years ago

DOWN VOTING THE SHIT OUTTA THIS....too much yakkity yakking and freaking in video commercials of all things.....not enough fishing. SUXXX

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

This episode isn't supposed to be about fishing, its titled "Boating 101". Please watch some of the other episodes as well before "Down Voting The Shit Outta This" as you kindly put it. - Capt Mikel

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Nice!

Frontier Specialized Heavy Haul - 6 years ago

You told me awhile back that you leave your boat in the water. How often do you have to do a bottom job or have the bottom cleaned?

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

I used to do the monthly bottom cleaning gig, not any more. I pull it out and repaint the bottom once a year. Done. - Capt Mike

Reel Tuff Fishing - 6 years ago

joy sticks are cheat sticks, if you need a joy stick to dock any size center console, you shouldn't operate a boat. haha

Jive Turkey - 6 years ago

Capt. Mike, also a beginners guide to handling the fish of Florida waters would awesome. Gill plates, spines, sharks/barracuda. Best way to handle a fish to I can safely release it. Basically what can I touch and where so I don't hurt myself or the fish? I don't know what to look out for.

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

i’m a young fisherman wanting to get a boat soon and this video really helped me out alot

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Nice!

Dan D - 6 years ago

Neat video - we've been there with you the last 2 Saturdays around the Ronald B. Johnson. We were jigging for amberjacks while you guys were off a bit deeper this past Saturday. Always fun seeing you out there. Keep up the good work.

Dan D - 6 years ago

Yes - that was us. We were determined to get revenge on the amberjacks. My friend got a nice one - 30lbs or so - off the Ronald. Other than that, had a couple king strikes on a jig. One bit the metal. The other took the assist hook. Fun day but we were taking a bath in our boat.

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Thank you for watching, does your boat have some sort of blue wrap? Yes, the last few weeks we've been spending a lot of time testing some new jigs/techniques in 300-800 ft. Saturday was touch, we only managed a single tuna, single tilefish and single porgy along with an assortment of other critters. How did you guys do? - Capt Mike

BronkBuilt - 6 years ago

Great advice for a very novice boat pilot like myself.

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago

Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

Rickys Fishing Adventures - 6 years ago

Rickys Fishing Adventures - 6 years ago

Florida Sport Fishing thank you capt!

Florida Sport Fishing - 6 years ago
