  • Decided to just drive around and find fish by stopping along the road and fishing whatever I come across. This was my second day on my south Florida trip and I was just trying to explore and see what I might come across. Didn't take long to find some fish.

    Always a treat to see you explore that area. I've always wanted to go. The everglades is actually an ancient river so it's always draining, despite how much it has changed since our arrival. It's spring fed from the Avon Park area. Since the region is so flat, the "river" system is much more broad than it is deep, making it more like a swamp/marsh with current, miles wide.

    Wow John, your videos are getting better and better. The underwater and your drone footage is amazing. I also love the music, it all fits together perfectly.😎👍

    I had a couple Oscars in my aquarium once. You have to keep the top closed with weight on it...those suckers will jump out when they get big!

  • @samuelschult985
    @samuelschult985 Před 7 měsíci +5

    Nice trip, those Oscar's are the best tasting fresh water fish I've ever tasted the meat almost has a sweet flavor, great video 👍

    I recognize that area, I suggested it to you in a prior year video, don’t know if you saw my post or not about it. Anyway glad you checked the area out.
    Get out by night or the mosquitos will suck you dry. About 20 minutes after sunset the sky starts humming.
    Those Oscars are great tasting fish, nice firm white meat.
    There is an area you pass by that routinely holds 10+lb Large Mouths, I’m not ready to spill that secret online.

    Hey John, for a good spot in the glades,I've gone to pond A1 that Roland martin fishes.it has a few mile long road w both sides fish able, no trailers allowed ,and a turnaround at the end. It was rocky at that end w pebble tanic water lots of bass... other end is all grass, and islands, killer habitat, and mega fish. I could see 20 bass up 5lbers all cruising in parades of 3 to 4 wolf packs. I stood up and they all seen me and sketched out. I go down by Belle glade,and cut over to the ponds down there.need a kayak to get beep back in there. I have a small jon boat I explored it with. Good luck Bro! Great video 💥🤙

    Today is Christmas day 2023. I started keeping track a year ago of how many days I fished this year and it came out right on 311. It really is a blessing living in central Florida and being able to fish this many days a year weather if its stopping on the way to or from work and taking 20 cast with the baitcaster or taking a few days off and heading over to the Gulf for some snook fishing.

    Born and raised Oregonian, I was in Florida for a week in 1990, rented a Pontiac LeMans, little red turd box of a car, I drove all over central southern Florida. Saw schools of Oscars along the Tamiami road, which was pretty much a crushed coral path at that time. Caught snakes, turtles, fish, wrastled a gator in the middle of the night, watched a pure jet black Bobcat climb a tree, those memories are gold to me.

      You actually jumped on a gator? No freaking way am I jumping on one croc hunter style. I have to try hard not to freak out when I see one in the water when I am swimming or in a yak.

    @turner0224 Před 7 měsíci +3

    Driving out 41 at 20 mile bend you’ll see flood gates that are open with constant flow. Tossing a worm and letting it go underneath the gate will insure a 5-7 lb large mouth. Stand there for hours just reeling them in. Good way to spend an afternoon.

    • @CreekFishingAdventures
      @CreekFishingAdventures  Před 7 měsíci

      sounds fun

    • @turner0224
      @turner0224 Před 7 měsíci +1

      You had to be in the general area, if you wanted to drive 30 miles west to the finger canals you’d have to deal with snook….ha ha that’s an experience, fish on the side of the road fighting a 10 pound snook on light gear oh boy. Having been in Miami since ‘66 you find the little spots. My kids used to laugh at me, if I found 3ft of water I was casting….you see my avatar , but in the back is a collapsible light weight rig ready to go. Carry a lure for peacock, bass and Oscar’s at all times. I’ve been known to get caught in bumper to bumper traffic on the expressway, pull over and throw into a canal. It’s an illness, I see water I see fish.

    Awesome, John! Didn't catch the barracuda yesterday, but we caught about 10 snapper and one huge one at about 10 lbs, just under a bridge in the FL Keys. I live in Chattanooga but I'm down here also all the time visiting family, if you ever wanna try saltwater in the Keys would love to take you. PS you inspired me to start me own channel just for fun. Thanks for your videos.

    Your casting accuracy is crazy!! I know you got snagged a couple times but I have no clue how you can lace that cast right between trees like that!! Any pointers? Love the videos, from a guy in Ohio that can’t fish right now! At least I can watch someone else catch fish!! 😂 Keep them coming!!

I’m big on the nature side of fishing, I love being outdoors and filming the things that are in it. Just an overall cool video! Are you still using the same music app? You’ve had some good tunes on a lot of your recent videos that go so well with the content.Anyway I’m saving this one as one of my favorites on my channel page. Keep em’ coming brother!

    My brother in law and I were down there last year in the same areas. We live between Sarasota and Fort Myers, so most of our fishing is in salt water. But we'd like to do that again.

  • @johnharder5618
    @johnharder5618 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Nice video
    Several years ago I went to see family and had a chance to kayak and fish parts of the Everglades
    No clue where we fished , my cousin would pull over and we would launch
    We spent several days wandering channels and marsh areas
    It would be worth your time
    You need to hook a Largemouth Bass and then get towed by a gator that wants the bass

    FYI. The Glades ARE..IS a river. Aligator alley cut the flow and darn near killed it. Its still threatened...in many ways. ALL due to human activity.
    Its a stunning and great area to fish, camp. As you know!

    I'm glad to see you catching large mouths!!!! I'm showing my age but I remember fishing for largemouth and bream and didn't have to worry about catching all the imports!!!! I love your show but I truly wish everyone that caught a non native species would not release them!! If everyone removed everything they caught there might be a good bass fishing again!!!! When I was growing up Florida was the number one trophy bass destination!!! I was catching bass over 10 pounds when I was 8!!! Now you are lucky to catch one over 5!!!!

    I’m a long haul trucker from San Diego, I’ve driven through the glades at least once a month I’ve always wanted stop by and fish in that area. But I always wondered what kind of fish I would catch in area also I was stalked by a good size gator one time when I was pulled over and walked along the road one time. One of the local fishermen pointed out to showed me the big gator was following me for awhile and I didn’t even notice. That was a scary moment.

    Love the content and love that you keep God's word at the end - man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! God bless!

    I would love to walk that road at night for sasquatch. PS You need to have a Catch Clean Cook for those Oscars

    "Get out before night"....Yep....Aside from the mosquitos that will suck all your blood, the alligators are on the move and cross over to feeding grounds at dusk, so it is wise to get out at night when fishing backroads in the Everglades.

    Hey man I don’t know if we could be friends, you didn’t run fast enough when the green pants rolled up!🤣 I’m just kidding I don’t run as fast now days, it’s easier to just be legal!
