Those ponds are mostly "borrow pits" where they harvested sand to build up surrounding land above the water to build. The whole state is sand over a limestone cap. You won't find any hard rocks like granite. Natural lakes between Orlando and Jacksonville are mostly where an underwater cave roof collapsed to leave a round lake, usually spring-fed clear water with sand bottom. Probably a harmless brown water snake (or banded), though can be hard to distinguish from a water moccasin other than the shape of the head.
The spots many fish have just before the tail is a “false eye.” It’s to distract a predator and make it target the tail instead of the actual head which gives the prey a better chance to escape. Many animals and insects have “false eyes” which serve the same purpose especially large, nocturnal moth species; Cecropia, Io, etc..
I believe it is your passion that you follow and others enjoy watching because of that. I'm planning a trip to your neighborhood... Kind of to lake Norris this year. I hope to catch a nice striper. 😄🐠🐟
Also have a bonus trip to Florida next month. I would truly enjoy catching what you did in this video....I will be on the lookout for some random pools of water.
Living in south Florida for 50 years if you want to catch exotics like peacock bass or snake heads you have to hit the canals. Real narrow, weedy ones hold most of the snake heads. Good luck!
In my hometown of Chuluota FL we have a ton of lakes and ponds. In those ponds we have brim the same size as the first bass you caught. These brim are so dark they are purple.
There are a lot of golf courses in So. LA and Ms. with warning signs about dangerous snakes and alligators around ponds.... Especially in Spring and early Summer ..Sometimes you lose a ball or 2....
@@Yinzzy656 wasn't sure if you were getting onto me or the spam message 🤔 🙃 🤷 I was simply trying to be respectful of how well Jon is doing and how excited we all are as his subscribers to be blessed enough to be able to watch his awesome videos ❤ 😊 😀
Good ole Boynton Beach! Can’t look these spots over when in South Florida. I can drop a line in most bodies of water around here and have a successful day! Cool to see you in my stomping grounds!
Great stuff John. Glad you're getting to enjoy some warmer weather. What kind, power and action rods do you have paired up with those Shimano reels? What size is the Sahara? 1000? Blessings!
FL fishing is definitely different… gotta watch out for snakes AND alligators… neither one I like very much. I was down in South Florida in November and made a video while dodging alligators… great stuff!
I grew up fishing those little retention ponds, it kinda spoiled me, so when I fished outside of Florida I was always expecting large bass 😆 just an FYI though, for the next time you go down, FWC doesn't like it when you release invasive fish they would prefer that you keep them 👍
i have a house in boyton.. the fishing is killer..so many great species in the canals and ponds...i found that spinner baits are the best...plastics work good but spinners crush
@@CreekFishingAdventures hope you enjoy it! You had a killer day in this video…look forward to seeing how the rest of your trip went, I’m wondering if you ran into any peacock bass which I was unsuccessful in catching during my time down there. I did however fish down there during the cold front…temps got below 50 in fort myers, but it produced one of the most fun days of fishing I’ve had in while fishing a golf course pond!
Florida secret to bass fishing. 2 colors of worms. The green watermelon, and red. You will always catch bass. Let them creep on the bottom. Watch how you slam them. Bigger worm bigger bass
Do not eat these fish as we have lots of mercury and aquatic spraying going on in all of our waters down here. I will not eat any fish I catch down here due to it. These retention ponds are constantly being sprayed by landscapers and companies who manage them to kill off the grass.
Awesome video, love to see South FL getting some love! Don't be afraid to throw 10 inch worms or shad/shiner jigs! You'll catch some biggins in those little ponds!
I’ll have to remember to stay back from the water a bit when I’m fishing in Florida. But a lot of nice bass this video. Then it was nice to see the cichlids at the end.
South Fl is a great place for just about any type of fishing you can imagine 👍pond hopping like this is how i would spend all my free time before and after work haha
Awesome video John! You have the best fishing content on RUclips without a doubt. I’ve been subscribed for about 2 and half years now and I always recommend your channel to all my fishing buddies. Thanks for another awesome video!
Love the videos all the way to the end! Heading out to Florida for a long camping trip next week, thought about taking the kayak but the gators 🐊 got me thinking otherwise
Yeah. That'd be the last thing you need, is for a Gator to flip you out of your boat or kayak, and into the water, where you could end up being easy pickings for him! The danger is all too real! Those things are nothing to play with, or to put yourself at risk with! Stay safe!
Great video John! This may already been answered but the spot on the tail is a false eye. It confuses predators. Makes you wonder how the bass got in those ponds.
I live in north Florida... My property's right by the Osceola wildlife Management area.so.many hidden spots...I'm learning lily pads mean alligators Lol.. new Sub enjoy your videos
It's amazing how much life is in these trashy filthy polluted ponds your fishing John. Up here in Va that much trash is a sure sign of no fish. Must be the weather. Good thing you didn't get attacked by a gator, you won't catch me bank fishing or kayak fishing anywhere near where gators can live.
I fish these ponds all the time. I don't worry about gators too much. They're just after your bait. The big one's I just move on. I had a red tail hawk attack my bait once. That was a little tense.
Awesome video man! I got some of them smaller fish as well on my Florida trip last year over on my channel. Also got my 1st ever shark! Such a great time down there fishing.
Hey John u are my go to for all things fishing in Florida. I just left South Florida fishing after I did some work out there. I hit up the Glades and caught about 20 or more Oscar, Talipia, and Myan out there. I caught so many I was tired from fishing. Man keep them coming. I will definitely hit some more spots when I get back out that way. Check out that canal before going into the glades where that Publix ison SW 8th St. It looks like a great stretch of water.
Another great video. After our Christmas cold snap I am more than ready to get back out to the water. I’ve got a work trip to Orlando in February and have planned to fly … but this makes me want to drive so I can take my time and fish some ponds!
As always, John, thanks for taking us along!! Tried bridge fishing here in PA last week and I think all my usual creek chubs went south with you as absolutely nothing hit! So its great to watch you still hauling them in! For now, I am using the PA winter doldrums to trick up a new fishing kayak I got so its ready to go when warm weather hits! :-)
Hey John, I had planned to go to Florida for a week of fishing on a solo trip this year but the economy is holding me back sadly. Good to see you catch some nice bass!!
Merry Christmas 🎄!! Really good to see you again Brother 🤠. Extra ruff end of year, just watching you out there fishing and exploring inspires to forget the negative and just live!! God is Great 👍 thanks and have a wonderful New Year!! I am going out to fish tomorrow!!
Much respect Jon! Love watching your videos, always hoping you leave some gnarly nuggets we can steal and repurpose. 🙂 I think you talked me into another trip to south Florida, simply to fish this time around. Are you just searching Google Earth and finding these locations? I know Florida is plumb full of fish, but this is spectacular from a roadside retention pond!
You should check out the Florida Panhandle ! beautiful and more secluded than the rest of the state ! And the gators are scared of you don’t worry about them lol
I’m so glad John you have these amazing opportunities that God has blessed you to have on an every day basis. Videos and audio are always top notch and never a lack of enthusiasm! Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you again.
I totally agree with you! I'm surprised that John's subscribership has stopped...but he has, like, 126,000+ Subscribers, and I'm hoping that he'll continue to keep his channel going. He's come so far from his very first videos. Do you remember any of those? I sure do. The very first one of John's videos that I ever saw, was when him and his Mother were sittin' on the bank of a Creek, just fishin' along, and John caught some nice fish, including a nice-sized Catfish that looked like it weighed 3-4 pounds. Over the years, Brother John has built up quite a collection of great fishin' videos for us to watch, and, as time has gone on, he's included music, footage of birds and wildlife, even different kinds of snakes and whatnot. He's included Fishing Tourneys footage, and he may have even included Bass Pro Shop footage. John's channels, Creek Fishing Adventures, and More Creek Fishing Adventures, are a true treasure trove to have on RUclips. He even speaks to us of, and from, God's Holy Word, The Bible! This is an additional bonus, that many of us, his subscribers, have benefitted from, and have been mightily blessed by. I just hope that he doesn't quit. There's got to be SOMETHING that we, the Subscribers, can do, to encourage Brother John not to give up. If that eventually happens, though, then I'll respect his wishes and decisions, whatever they may be. Still...I want to see him stay on RUclips. Something's gotta give. His Subscribership has been somewhere between 126,000-127,000 subscribers...and all of a sudden, it stopped. Admittedly, I'm very concerned. Let's see what happens from this point on. If you have any suggestions, as to how I personally can help, please let me know. We don't need to lose Brother John! He's worth fighting for!
The most important thing is allowing God to move John in His way and He will open doors or subscribers added as needed to allow John to stay on RUclips and continue. John has trusted God in his move to make his channel his only way of living and I believe he has changed peoples lives with his testimony and sharing God’s creation along side of John’s adventures! Sharing God’s word at the end of each video is vital and what I personally look for and enjoy! Sometimes it’s exactly what one needs at that moment. Hoping and praying that whatever the case, God’s will be done and all honour and glory goes to Him. I enjoy the fishing and all the adventure and no lack of excitement along the way! Thanks all!
It seems like every one of those ponds that I find here in Alabama have the dreaded No Fishing signs all around them. Worse yet, they are loaded with fish.
I'm glad for you that you found a way to make a living doing what you love. I myself was in the heating and cooling business and honestly I mostly enjoyed it but every day I knew it was taking a little more of me untill one day I woke up and it was time to retire. Your knees and back will love you for changing careers John trust me on that lol. Enjoy it bud and if I could support enough for everyone to go and do the things they love I wouldn't hesitate a second.
I was down in Miami for work in Feb 2019 and spent three weeks working and fishing...a lot of fishing. LOL! I hit the canals and caught a ton of peacocks, mayans, and others. It was so much fun and I need to go back. I would work until early afternoon, then go fishing until about 6, grab food, and go back to my hotel and do some more work. And I fished all weekend long as well. If you want to teach someone to fish and really want them to get the bug, take them to the canals. Use a small piece of bread rolled up in a ball on a small hook and a small pole and the action is non-stop. And they fight so hard. Great stuff John!! --Brent

Those culvert pipes I usually stand over them and jig up and down lots of times a big bass just sitting inside the pipe

Thanx for sharing!
Awesome video. Would love to walk around the pond with a net and a trash bag. The bottom probably looks like Sanford and Sons backyard.
Thanks for sharing, stay safe and have a Blessed Day.
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Great stuff John. Glad you're getting to enjoy some warmer weather. What kind, power and action rods do you have paired up with those Shimano reels? What size is the Sahara? 1000? Blessings!
the sahara 1000 is on a 6-6 light od, the miravel 2500 is on a 7 ft medium
If you ever make it to Naples, let me know and I can tell you where some amazing spots are.
I love watching your videos I injoy yours more then any other videos out there love to you and your family frome p.a
It was only 51 in shouth Florida last week.
It was brutal lol but it made the bass in the pond I was fishing go crazy they were chewing the lipless up

Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee what a way to start off the video 📹 buddy!!!!
Nice video ! Love me some Florida pond fishing !! What area were you in ? I'm in Central Florida Orlando area.
Looks like a great time! Hope you have(had) a safe trip home. Stay warm.
i have a house in boyton.. the fishing is killer..so many great species in the canals and ponds...i found that spinner baits are the best...plastics work good but spinners crush
Lol man I had quite the gator encounter down there last week and I scheduled the video for 7:15 so weird to see the thumbnail on this one…crazy timing
Oh awesome man. I’ll definitely check that out

Glad to have stumbled onto your channel. Nice work with the grub! You earned my sub!! What hook/jig were you using with the grub?
i really dont remember right now
@@CreekFishingAdventures no worries
There's so much litter that Florida reminds me of India.
I’ve been killing it. In the pond just north of you all week. The bass bite has been on fire. Boynton Beach Mall 😂Good Job
Perfect timing for the trip to South Florida! Wow, I can imagine eating several of those bass! Great video. We appreciate you!
Do not eat these fish as we have lots of mercury and aquatic spraying going on in all of our waters down here. I will not eat any fish I catch down here due to it. These retention ponds are constantly being sprayed by landscapers and companies who manage them to kill off the grass.

Love videos like this. I'm heading down there next week to do the same thing so your video hyped me up!
That looks like Boynton Beach mall. Where was that.?
good job
Thanks!
I always enjoy the Florida videos! The black spot is a defense thing. Like a fake 👁
I laughed my butt off at, "There's something in the grass"!

Take the yak. You won’t be disappointed
Yeah. That'd be the last thing you need, is for a Gator to flip you out of your boat or kayak, and into the water, where you could end up being easy pickings for him! The danger is all too real! Those things are nothing to play with, or to put yourself at risk with! Stay safe!
My dog would be with me and she loves getting in the water, I know for sure that I’ll leave her in the camper if I go out on yak
The colors on those bass look like our small mouth, we call in bronze.
A South Florida fishing trip is on my bucket list because of your videos down there over the last few years. Keep up the good work!
DAG GONE ,JOHN! THOSE ARE SOME NICE BASS!
How do I find good fishing spots in central florida
Great video John! This may already been answered but the spot on the tail is a false eye. It confuses predators. Makes you wonder how the bass got in those ponds.
That's what I've always heard
Stuck in NY missing Florida fishing! Love all the videos and clean content.
I live in north Florida... My property's right by the Osceola wildlife Management area.so.many hidden spots...I'm learning lily pads mean alligators
Lol.. new Sub enjoy your videos
Worth the drive! Especially for any of us wintered in!😂

Florida has some giants. My biggest by far came from Rodman lake in fla. Six and seven pdrs. Are common there.

Yep. Florida has gators.
South Georgia does to o asked one of the locals- how did yall learn to swim with all these gators? He said FAST🤣
And Skeeters !...And Moccasins...Pythons now, too !
And Fish!
And don’t turn your back on the bank!
Murky water?? Alligator went by🤪😜
Did you bring me back a Iguana 😑😂😂
Haha. I could have gotten a bunch
@@CreekFishingAdventures 🤣🤣
Nothing Florida gets into the the 60s snd 70s usually 70s
Didn't know the many of the retention ponds were connected. How long have you been doing these vids?
been making youtube vids for 6 years
You should check out the Florida Panhandle ! beautiful and more secluded than the rest of the state ! And the gators are scared of you don’t worry about them lol
Man I can not wait for the water temps to get warmer
something moving in the grass in Tennessee - let's see what it is! Something moving in the grass in Florida?? Let's ease on outta here!
exactly
Nice bass. I hope to make it to Florida sometime. We have Lake Fork full of Florida bass.
Also keep an eye out for Pythons and Boa constrictors.
It was 80° when I told these fish please Raise up off NUTZzzz cause you get none of these
It’s venomous. Venom is injected poison is eaten

That’s the worst
Only about 75 years ago Americans could fish in any lake, river, creek or pond they wanted. No license needed. Government is ruining our nation.

It would be nice of people to pick up after themselves so you wouldn't have to see all the trash laying around while trying to enjoy fishing!
What is that ultra lite set up your using in fl?
6-6 light TFO rod with shimano Sahara 1000 size and 4 lb mono
Keep up the good work Brother!
you seem to like a straight jog with soft plastic what about a jig spinner like a beetle spin do you thonk you would have the same results
