Catching More New Species on the Panhandle | Florida Panhandle Microfishing
After exploring this spot for a while I managed to catch several species of micros including my first ever Apalachicola blacktail shiner (Cyprinella eurystoma) and sailfin shiner (Pteronotropis hypselopterus). The sailfin shiner in particular had some striking colors on him and really stood out from the rest. All things considered, this was a solid microfishing session on the Florida Panhandle.

A Beautiful New Species Surprises Me | Apalachee Shiner | Florida Panhandle Microfishing
Просмотров 30212 часов назад
My first spot of the day produced a beautiful Apalachee shiner (Pteronotropis grandipinnis) mixed in with a bunch of weed shiners (Notropis texanus). I didn't have high hopes for this spot once I saw it, but I was happy to land a couple species during this short fishing session. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Panfish Series 5'0" ULM: amzn.to/3NMs0WA Daiwa Fuego LT 1000D: amzn.to/3tISQIr Ber...
Microfishing a Crystal Clear Spring | Florida Panhandle Microfishing
Просмотров 45519 часов назад
The first stop on this Florida Panhandle roadtrip was a spring where some pygmy sunfish (Elassoma sp.) had been caught before. I knew it was going to be a long shot to catch one of those, but it was worth a shot. Unsurprisingly I didn't catch or even see any of those, but I did catch some cool shiners. Identifying the first two shiners was tough, but I believe they are coastal shiners (Notropis...
Catching Big Bluegill Sunfish

While some of the big bluegill are still close to shore I wanted to get out again and try to catch some of them. The unexpected rain shower that came through made things more difficult, but I still managed to catch several nicely sized bluegill.

Fishing the St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish Series

Took the St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish Series rod out for a spin today for the first time in a long time and it was still as great as I remember it being. The lighter power compared to some of the light or medium-light power rods I've used recently was very noticeable. The smaller fish I caught today were a lot of fun to fight on this rod and the bigger fish provided quite the challenge. What ...
Minimalistic Microfishing in Columbus Ohio
Просмотров 55914 дней назад
I had a two day work trip to Columbus Ohio and I wanted to do some fishing, but I didn't want to bring everything and the kitchen sink. I decided to bring one small tenkara/tango rod, some line, some hooks, and some split shots, that's it. I didn't know what to expect, but the day was great. I ended up catching mostly rainbow darters (Etheostoma caeruleum) which were awesome, but the highlight ...
Shore Fishing for Panfish
Просмотров 51221 день назад
I absolutely love catching large panfish such as the bluegill sunfish that come close to shore in the spring to spawn. While I had some success the last several days here, today was not one of those days. I still managed five fish within a little over an hour, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Oh well, you can't win them all. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Avid Panfish 6'4" LF: amzn...
Bank Fishing for Big Bluegill Sunfish
Просмотров 40221 день назад
A short fishing session from the bank produced several big bluegill sunfish. The highlight of the day though was when a rare redear sunfish came up on the end of my line. While not unheard of, redear sunfish are grossly outnumbered by bluegill sunfish in most waters in this area so it is always nice to catch one of those. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Avid Panfish 6'4" LF: amzn.to/3FcZFW6 ...
Testing and Reviewing the Daiwa Presso Travel Rod
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.28 дней назад
I recently bought the Daiwa Presso Spinning Pack Rod (PSO564ULFS-TR) to use as my new travel rod and I finally got a chance to test it out. Overall it seems like a great little travel rod to throw in the backpack, but it is on the stiffer side. That really isn't a problem for me considering how I'll be fishing it most often, but if you're looking for something that smaller fish will put a bend ...
Catching Bluegill Sunfish on the St. Croix Avid Panfish Series Rod
Просмотров 382Месяц назад
A short fishing session with my St. Croix Avid Panfish rod on a lake in Weston produced several nice bluegill sunfish. The sunfish this time of year move close to shore to spawn and become very aggressive. They were all over the Z-Man Shad FryZ and were a lot of fun to catch. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Avid Panfish 6'4" LF: amzn.to/3FcZFW6 Daiwa Legalis 2500: amzn.to/3K01zM3 Berkley Van...
Everglades Canal Fishing | Tamiami Trail Canal
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.Месяц назад
When water levels are down I love fishing these canals in the Everglades. All the fish get pushed into them as there isn't much water anywhere else. While I didn't get any peacocks, the couple native sunfish species really made my day. Not too bad of a session on Tamiami Trail in the Everglades. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Avid X 6'6" MLF: amzn.to/2TUYrpC Daiwa Legalis 2500: amzn.to/3kMF...
Microfishing on a Marsh | Florida Microfishing

Once again the low water levels this time of year made fishing tough, but I still managed to catch some beautiful little micro species from this marsh. The highlight was definitely the lone lined topminnow (Fundulus lineolatus). I haven't caught too many of these in my life so something a little different is always nice. *Fishing Equipment Used* St. Croix Panfish Series 5'0" ULM: amzn.to/3NMs0W...
Microfishing on a Florida Canal | Florida Microfishing
Просмотров 452Месяц назад
With my primary spot out of action, I drove around this marsh until I found some micros. It turns out that there were several different species of fishes in this small secluded section of the canal. I spent some time messing around with the species I wanted to catch like the sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna), but all I got to show for it was some of the usual southern Florida micros such as ...
Microfishing in Jupiter | Florida Microfishing
Просмотров 625Месяц назад
I stopped along a medium-sized canal in Jupiter trying to see what cool little micro species could be found here. While most of them were the same old ones you can catch all over southern Florida, the lined topminnows (Fundulus lineolatus) were a welcomed surprise. Their range doesn't extend all the way down south, and I had only encountered them for the first time a few months prior. *Fishing ...

I Found an Awesome Fishing Spot! | Mexico Fishing 🇲🇽
you didn't gain an hour. lmao
I sure did. Then I lost an hour driving back the other way a few days later lol
❤ nice
Thanks.
Love your videos. I took a year off visiting America but they’ve inspired me to head back in April next year. Not sure I can stretch it to a Florida visit, think I would never wanna leave. Fished there a decade ago but wasn’t into micro / species hunting then.
Nice. Florida is awesome for fishing, but so much of the US has so many different species to catch. What parts are you looking at visiting?
Every time I fish the little creek at the greenway near my house, I remember why I love being out on the lake in the middle of nowhere. People can be incredibly noisy. Makes me feel bad for the animals in the area.Those Eastern Mosquito Fish sort of look like little mudskippers. Slap an eyepatch on those spotted sunfish and maybe they'll pass as pirate perch. Some beautiful catches as always, Nomad!
Part of what I like about fishing is being away from the business. I really don't like getting away from everyone and still running into everyone lol
Would love to go! Looks like heaven.
I certainly wouldn't mind fishing there for the rest of eternity lol
You know what I just discovered those things…. The only bad thing is they’re really small where I’m at….. But I took one home and fried it up and it was excellent… Similar to regular perch or comparable to a bluegill very tasty but you need a lot of them
You won't be able to find livebait meant for freshwater fishing in Singapore. Because using livebait for freshwater fishing is literally illegal through Singapore. At least, I am not aware of any legal ground where using livebait for freshwater fishing is allowed in Singapore. But, you can find live earthworms, mealworms, crickets, etc. in local aquarium stores which are used for feeding aquarium fishes.
Fish don't like to get wet.😆 That surprise shower was awesome. As long as the bite is on, really enjoy fishing in the rain sometimes. I'm loving the St Croix Panfish Series rod so much. Might be my favorite rod I own right now. Every time I watch your videos, I'm ready to hit the water again! Some real rod benders in that spot.
Glad you are liking that rod. It's a solid one. Haven't had a chance to check out your video on it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
1:15 something busts on bait in lower center... lol.. nice work on the apalachee for sure
Thank you.
Yes, you are pronouncing Apalachee correctly. 👍 I am suprised you aren't catching immature black bass and sunfish. You are in trophy bass territory for sure.
Thanks. I didn't target those fishes, but I do remember seeing some sunfish in this creek.
I think if you use a Tanago rod, the sensation will be even more solid when playing micro fishing.
You are right. I've been experimenting with using them more and more.
you should use your smallest hook to catch them
@@reionengeld8301 To catch what?
You are up in my end up the state! Good luck on the rest of your trip!
@@Steve-ev6vx These videos are from a few months back, but thank you. I did pretty well. Ended up catching 20 new species. I've got a total of 11 videos coming out from this trip over the next several weeks.
Very cool. I did some tanago fishing today at my local pond in Cape Town (South Africa). Caught mosquito fish, dwarf tilapia and banded tilapia. So much fun.
Thanks. Too many people underestimate how much fun microfishing can be, especially when you set some goals for it. I'd love to make it over to Africa eventually. You have so many cool species there, and so many still undescribed.
@TheFishingNomad True story... I went tiger fishing a few years ago on the Zambezi river and ended up catching a bunch of micro species on fly... It was the highlight of my trip.
@@SeanMillsFishing That's actually really cool. I want to go see Victoria Falls and fish the river there. All I've been able to find caught in that area though are tigerfish and some sort of "bream" that I think is actually tilapia. It would be cool if I could catch some micros if I make it over there too.
@@TheFishingNomad I caught 15 species when I was there. There are 75 species of fish in the Zambezi system. Many different types of tilapia, catfish and minnow / barb, labeo and yelliwfish species.
ruclips.net/video/SXS6PDAz_xE/видео.htmlsi=SXkhteigVBOi2NkE Some tilapia species at the 38min mark. I almost caught african pike but just could not keep them on. One day when I am big I will go back.
I hope underwater shots will become a staple of your vids,showing us better how the fishing spot looks for the fish
I always try to include them when I can, but it's not always easy. Glad you like them.
A suggestion: For your ultra lite fishing you should check out some of the i_fish tackle BG-1 jig heads. Super sharp and smaller hooks. They've helped me to catch a lot more fish over the past few months that I've been using them. I've tried all weights and hook sizes, but now I use three weights (1g, 1.25g, and 1.5g). and mostly the #12 hook size (Anisoptera, LarvaZ, small craw imitations, Trout Magnets and much more) and with larger girth micro plastics, the #10's. (Charlie Brewer 1" swim grubs, small minnow imitations like the 2" Keitech Easy Shiners). The new 1.5 with the #8 hooks are good for some of the Zman baits like the TicklerZ and Shad FryZ.
How much did you pay for it?
@@emz7638 I don't remember, but maybe around $300.
@ oh nice, I just bought the baitcaster version of the gen 1 legend xtreme for $275 a couple days ago, I kinda just did a blind buy, never used the rod, didn’t know the retail price, knew nothing about it but I’ve heard it was good and it looked like a good like a decent price and so far I’m loving it. I think I got a good deal for a too now that I’m watching videos on it
Nothing more realistic than a surprise rain in the sunshine while fishing, but, it is what is is, thanks for sharing that awesome panfish fishing session.
Yup. That is about as Florida as Florida gets haha
👌🏻
Thanks.
@@TheFishingNomad Love that rod.
Ah the Sunshine state rain 10 minutes enough to drench you than the sun comes out that looks like a awesome pond no doubt dull of panfish. Great video ..
Yup. Classic Florida right there.
I just caught a white sort of ovular sunfish with little teal dots on it in south Texas. Someone pls help me identify it if you can
@@Ethanol_jackson You sure it's a sunfish and not a Rio Grande cichlid? If you want, send me a picture on Instagram and I'll take a look at it.
These bluegill ultra light sessions have been a great watch! Random question though, is there a genetic/ visual difference in Florida Largies and the ones further north?
Yes there is. They are two different species. See the paper at the following link: www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-11743-2
today I also caught a crazy fish (butis butis
Congrats. That's a cool catch.
today I just caught my second banded archer fish 😮😊🎉🎉🎉
Nice. That's awesome.
Tip: Dace like chub mounds so if you see them then dace are likely not far behind
Thanks. Pretty sure these came off of a chub mound, but I think I was a few weeks too late to see the mound alive.
Sailfin molly can be a nightmare to get; I’ve still yet to get one. They’re not really eager to bite as other surface feeders
Yup. I'm sure I'll get one eventually, but it's definitely a challenge.
Beautiful rod.
It really is. Really classy looking.
Those bluegill are unique to FL with those colors; we call them coppernose
Yup.
Perfect timing! I decided to buy the regular St. Croix Panfish Series rod in 6’ at my local Dick’s Sporting Goods a few days ago. They didn’t have the Avid… but used the extra money saved to order a reel. Those EuroTackle baits look really nice. That gill at around 8:30😮!
Nice. Looking forward to seeing it in action and what you think about it. You always have the best looking videos.
Fishing like this is fun. Weeding through the small fish.
Yup. It's all about the action and the time on the water.
Nice work as usual...
Thank you very much.
@@TheFishingNomad no problem.. keep up the good work
Archer fish look like arrowanas if they were dwarfs 😂
Haha yeah very similar body structure.
Go fishing in bridge creek in Staten Island western avenue it a saltwater wetland there are crabs flounders and striped bass please 🙏 try there in the next video please 🙏 you will like 👍 it and you will catch so much flounders please 🙏 try it
@@SlayKamara-m5k Thanks. While I'm originally from Bayonne, I currently live in Florida. Maybe sometime I'm back up in New Jersey I'll make it over there.
👌🏻
Thanks.
Love the underwater footage! You mentioned there was a lot of current, I wonder if using a heavier splitshot would be better or would that spook the fish?
Good question. I didn't have any larger ones with me here anyway, but I have noticed that sometime when I use larger split shots the fish do get spooked. It doesn't always happen, but does sometimes.
@@TheFishingNomad interesting, thanks. I wish the west coast had creeks as diverse as over there lol
The middle east of the country (Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio) are gold mines for diversity.
Greetings fro, Cape Town. Great video.
@@SeanMillsFishing Thank you. Much appreciated.
@@TheFishingNomad How long is that Tanago rod?
@@SeanMillsFishing Five feet, ten inches. Here's the link: anglersemporium.com/products/stream-hand-carbon-fiber-510-1-8-meter-telescopic-microfishing-rod
Nice panfish fishing out there bro. They fight hard on an ultralight. Liked and subbed stay safe and connected!
@@FishNTrips1 Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Enjoy your channel never thought about micro fishing till i watched your channel , and the little bluegill i catch don't count 😅
Haha yeah it's definitely different, but also fun and challenging. Give it a try.
I caught my firsts bullhead yesterday and have become obsessed with them. So fun!
Nice. Congrats.
@ i found a tiny little pond on the side of an overfished lake and caught about 30 on night crawlers
Cool. Those things reproduce like crazy.
Wetting your hand when you forget your catch cup would help the fish and create surface tension so they dont flop as much.
Good advice. Thanks.
Beautifull Exotic's! How do they taste? Have you ever used them or the huge grass hoppers for bait for some thing bigger
Taste just like bluegill or any other panfish, just with a higher meat to skin ratio. I haven't used the grasshoppers for bait, but that's not a bad idea.
Where is that? I want to catch one at some point.
The spot where you caught it I meant
👌🏻
@@michaelvines805 Thanks.
All you need now is bank sticks and bite alarms
@@aarondavies8486 I'm confused. What's a bank stick and why would I need both of those?
use a rope and large treble hook 🪝, toss out and pull open casting lanes ...clear some weed lanes with a rake tossed on a rope leash.
@@louisdaniels873 I've never thought of that before, but sounds like a good idea.
Here in England you can buy a rake that you can cast out on a rod @TheFishingNomad
@aarondavies8486 That's interesting. I've never seen that before.
@@TheFishingNomad here in England as we only fish from the bank we have all sorts like a fish finder you can cast out and it maps the lake and shows you where fish are have you ever tried aliexpress for fishing tackle
i have caught an archer fish and it is the same species as it is a banded 😊
@@reionengeld8301 they're certainly the more common of the two species over there.
