I think that one Barracuda that has those interesting splotches is called a Pelican Barracuda. Unlike the rest, which are Great Barracuda. Pelican Barracudas are found in the Galapagos Islands in great numbers. However, populations have been increasing dramatically in the Keys. Thank you for helping clean our fishing spots. Some of us Americans do care.

Looking at the comments, seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing, watch out for the cops! As you discovered, they aren’t wrong either, huh? Sorry bro!!!! After watching you at home for years, and now seeing what happened when you come here….. I’m seriously EMBARRASSED!!!!!!! for my country!!!!! I apologize for the state of the states! It’s only getting worse and worse, everyone saying vote for Chump! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO THE HELL WE VOTE FOR!!!! THEY ALL END UP SCREWING OVER ANYONE THEY CAN TO MAKE A BUCK AND ITS DISGRACEFUL!!!! Almost as disgraceful as the litter you had to pick up! Once again, I’m fully ashamed and embarrassed to call myself ‘american’ though I try to be a decent person, it is cancelled out by the next thousand and the horrible people they are and always will be. 😢 Can I move down south to Aussie???!!!?! I don’t wanna be a part of this disaster of a country anymore! I never thought that watching one of your videos would leave me in a worse mood than before I clicked!!!

Yeah i was shocked at how much rubbish was laying around! Especially because their were perfectly places bins to put stuff in! That's just straight up lazy and disrespectful people. I was pissed about that man.
I’ve cleaned up bags and bags of trash people left behind the fishing spots all these years of fishing along the river in my neighborhood. I’m a big fan of your fishing videos, I’m so envy you could go places to catch big fish like GT, Kingfish and Tuna.
3/4 of the way through your video and I wish we had more anglers like you in Vancouver BC on the rivers. Your a true example of an ethical fisherman. You would love fishing up here in some of our BC Rivers for Salmon and trout
Hey Cavy ! Just wanted to thank you for being one of those guys that pick up trash when you are out there fishing . I do the same and my motto is "The only thing I leave behind is footprints " ! And glad you didn't launch your drone on that Military property,lol ! Kudos to you for all of your fishing adventures and sharing them with us . Life is short . LIVE IT brother ! Tight lines 🤟
Haha yeah title is a bit of play on words but end of day the dudes where chilled and I made a mistake I guess in navigating to a spot without people haha
? if a MP was there he was on government property, do you let people you don't know on your property and do what they want to or do you ask them to leave ?
i was raised in the south in Florida best baits to use for snapper and snook bone fish redfish in the morning is shrimp live on a free line rig around docks piers if you want to catch black drumb and sheeps heads use blue crab for redfish and black drum then use the a smaller crab that you can catch near the bank in the rocks called a land crab and drop it around pilons of bridges and docks around retaining walls to catch sheep heads on the salt flats shrimp and those small crabs work the best for hard head cat fish and sale catfish use cut mullet or sailors chose panfish from dock and bridges
Thanks for cleaning up the litter mate. So many beautiful fishing spots are ruined by trashy fishermen around here. Seeing you clean it up is inspiratrional to carry a bag around
I understand your frustration in finding a place to fish. I respect your effort , patience and love of the sport . Good luck in your endeavor, you sure picked the right state for verity and size. You be careful sleeping in car, try to find an area lit up and safe. Good luck.
As you learned, land access to good saltwater fishing spots is difficult to find here in Florida. Especially without local knowledge. Most publicly accessible spots are well known and crowded, and are usually piers and bridges. If you like wading the flats and fishing the mangroves, it's all about finding an access point. Once you're in the water, it's all public because in 95% of cases you don't own the saltwater (does not apply to federal property, they can own the water).
FLA has mamy public waters, Canals, and STA. I fished the fresh water and lagoons for like 13 years and had no issues just do not trespass and if it's water way in a FWC controlled WMA, read the regulations. The problem here people want to do what they want. and not follow the regulations and 2nd the leave tons of trash laying around. This is why the availability and access is getting reduced. just my 2cts
Yes sir, i have so many videos of heaps of garbage, tires, bottles, cans, wrappers, chip bags, anything everything floating down rivers as I kayak here in the NC. Littering and Trashing the environment is part of the American soul. Pisses me off so deeply.
Man could have saved me in this situation for sure hahaha. Where i walked into this area was no gate but under a bridge and through the mangroves and on the road / pathway was just that really really old voice machine thing, seemed just like a rundown non operational facility, but i guess not!
@@CavyFishing that’s almost all military installations, especially Navy. Than BAM, the one cop patrolling comes out of nowhere! Happened to me in Texas a few weeks back. He wouldn’t leave me alone! Ha ha Love your content man, appreciate ya!
When you're in the Keys, one of my favorite places to catch tarpon is at Mallory Square in Key West at night. The wall where the cruise ships park during the day is loaded with tarpon at night, Live bait is a sure thing, but white streamer flies work as well. You can park close by and walk to the wall and there is a ton of room to explore. Bring a cast net and live bait is catchable. I usually bring a cast net with me. A sabiki rig with tiny specks of fish bites on the hooks will get some live bait as well. Slack tide you'll see more than an incoming or outgoing and the best part, no mosquitos.
cavy. am a born and raised citizen. of florida. one time i was wading and did the same exact thing. i was just fishing and not paying attention any signs trying to sight fly cast at a school of slow moving tarpon across a flat and accidentally wandered into US federal border and customs restricted ocean and beach area. same thing happened but they rolled up on side by sides and all had tac gear and weapons drawn. they thoroughly questioned me for a few hours and eventually let me go because it was an honest mistake but since it was border and customs i was put on a temporary no fly list for 90 days and an alert would come up next to my name as not allowed to fly or leave country during the few months it took to investigate and coroberate my story. the military and gvt take their land EXTREMELY seriously here in the US even if youre a citizen who makes an honest mistake. had to take months to be cleared to fly again
Cavy, I'm a big fan of all your videos. I haven't been paying attention for a while and I found this video of you being in Florida!! Wow, I missed it!! I was embarrassed about the trash, thanks for setting an example in your videos!!! I hope that someday you come back so I can accompany you and show you some places! I'm trying to buy some fishing rods from your store but they're always sold out! Well, thank you very much for your videos!! You're great!!
On behalf of the Florida residents, I'm ashamed of all that trash. Mostly outa towners fish the canals and bridges so i m sure they're responsible for most that. We need to do better.
It's easy enough to pick it up as you walk past it- people, would drop less if there was less there, and bins there, such a disgrace, sort it out Florida! Keep on keeping on Cavdog!
@@yadayadayada360 IMO fishermen in general need to take more pride and not only stop littering but also be part of the clean up solution. I do my part and i know many others including Keys residents who also do they're part but it's a major tourist attraction and even the guys from the tri county are somewhat responsible. I agree, We all can do better.
Bro as an American !! I thank you so much for being a good person and picking up trash of other peoples like you do! You definitely have good Morales and a good Person. I promise all American don't liter and leave trash like that. But you're the man!! Thank you 🙏
Heres a joke: There's a Mexican guy named Jose. Jose takes a 30-minute ride to work every morning. One day, on his lunch break, he steps out back and realizes his commute brought him in a big circle. His backyard was just on the other side of this fence. So the next day, instead of driving 30 minutes, he decides to jump the fence. He notices a "no trespassing" sign on the fence, but he decides to jump it anyway. He goes to work. At the end of the day, he goes back to the gate and jumps over again. He's greeted by a policeman who says, "Didn't you see the sign that says 'No Trespassing'?" He says, "It's okay sënor, I only passed Dos!"
An under utilized way of catching tarpon in the keys is to drift fish stomachs under a ballon with the current. So many people clean fish off their docks the big tarpon have started to get use to eating the scraps
Yep, can't go on that property. I have clearance and I probably would be removed as well. I do enjoy going on base here and fishing though, a lot less people., decent fish. But I also have Base access and a CAC, so. But hey, could've been 10x worse, they could have arrested you for it 100 % , happens all the time. But usually only if you give problems when they talk to you.
Yeah man when approached initially they seemed pretty heavy but after the 15 minute walk back to the car everyone was chilled. I had actually a good chat with the Navy Officer about fishing and everything, he also loves land based fishing and totally understood where i was coming from. Like i say in the video, thanks again to the officers for letting me off with just a warning, much appreciated, good blokes.
@@CavyFishingI have a feeling if the navy guy wasn’t there it might have went differently. That other guy looked like he was giving you the stink eye. 😂
I see what you saying, but this was a navy base something like that! In Australia you would be questioned and escorted out of any military base just like most countries. It's the mosquito that's the real ahole!
Bro what😂😂 what you on about. If you are on military property your not allowed to be there. He didnt know abd they gave a warning.. your commwnt is completly irrelavant
I live in the US and no matter where you fish, fresh water or salt a-holes always leave trash everywhere and like you I always pick up everything including old line.
Barracuda can be a line cutter in the bridge areas as well they will take a lure easy. Saltys in mid to late August are so bad after rains and salt water crocs are a thing don't know if you ever saw any but they are making a comeback in the keys.
Honestly super accurate depiction of Florida shore fishing, low life litter and all. It’s a god damn grind using all artificial, especially if you’re exploring and learning new spots. Having someone take you to their local honey hole and put on to go-to lure and instantly get one is not DIY cavy style.
Yep one of my most hated things of Florida is going fishing in what should be a beautiful environment and seeing trash scattered everywhere everyone has access too a trash can so there’s absolutely no need to throw it on the ground thanks for cleaning up while your here
If you want to catch big stuff in the keys its on a boat. I use squid and shrimp for snapper on the coast. The Keys fish are use to people throwing live or real smelling bait way too much for them to fall for plastic ones. I would have tried catching a boat to an island off the main road maybe those fish would be more susceptible to lures. The bridges are fished out mostly so I use live pilchard on a slack loose line with little weight. That might be better for the rolling tarpon. It's sad to see all the trash but in such a congested place it's hard to weed out the riff raff. Thx for the trash pickup I do it anytime i see it.
Wow cavy that was a messed up last part of your trip in Florida. Thank god you didn’t fly that drone it would have been in military air space. That could have been a huge no no !!! Just glad you got out of there with a warning. Keep up the amazing work, your content is top notch and some of the best on RUclips. Cheers bro
Cavy, you gotta go to Cabo San Lucas Baja California, Mexico! The surf fishing is amazing and it’s all lure fishing from the surf. Huge roster fish and cuberas
@@Rodentfisherman of course why would I mention it. Was there before Covid and in 2022 was my last trip. I bought a set up from Jensen. I’ve never fished with any guide but I definitely talk to them and get my reports. Now have you been there yourself?
The beaches are no secret, just gotta do your homework. I just realized he has been there watching that very video right now. He missed Cabo but that’s all good. Only advice is don’t ever take a drink from someone else in a bar in Mexico.
I'd sure be careful travelling in the Mexico part, two of our surfer boys from Australia (brothers) were murdered there recently apparently for the alloy wheels on their pickup. Then a few years back some Aussie surfers sleeping in their fan were burnt alive. Dangerous place these days it would seem, was there around 30 years ago and don't remember it being that unsafe. Cavy is our Aussie fishing legend all the way back from when he Brooksy and Briggsy showed us all what land based fishing was about with the Morning Tide series.
@@vassilylucashenko you are 💯 right, things were much different back then, the violence has really gone up. And I haven’t forgotten these two men. My mother was visiting her home state in Mexico when that happened. I’ve been following for a long time, just recently I’ve become a licensed contractor and work has kept me very busy. I’ll be planning a trip for 2025 season in Cabo god willing.
Just an fyi two things on the color black 1. it absorbs heat so it makes it feel hotter and 2. black attracts mosquitoes.. These are facts and not that they will stop it just makes it worse. Cool video
Most likely Cubans, but yeah. California, Texas, Arizona, NM, Nevada, Colorado... was, is and will ever forever be Mexico. So welcome to the republic of Mexico and the US.
Great job cavy, as always!! I hope one day you’ll come here to Italy to catch pike, bass, huge sturgeon, trout, chub and other freshwater monsters! Here in Italy the sea is getting very difficult to fish because the temps are getting warmer and almost all the fish are gone. I would like to go to Florida soon and I just wanted to ask the name of the peacock bass lake. Thank you mate for bringing us always some fire content! ❤
You are hard core man. FLA is a trip. Try fishing topsail island NC if you’re ever in the area. Mid island & inlets 45 minutes before during & 45 minutes after slack tide is especially good. Takem easy
Question for you: I just picked up an Abu Garcia DLC 50 baitcaster and an Ugly Stik Med/Heavy 15-25lbs. I primarily do saltwater fishing, but want something I can use occasionally in freshwater. What type of line AND how many lbs. test would you recommend for this set-up? Thanks! In the ocean, I'm typically catching rockfish, CA Halibut and an occasional barracuda.
Carry your rods butt forward through the bushes especially. Find the spot that has the best balance and it all that much easier. Good video. Peacocks and small barracuda are beautiful .
As soon as you got to the states or even before you should have looked up the laws, rules and regulations of fishing in the area you were in. Every state and sometimes counties have different rules. And if you see a sign that says no trespassing or government property, stay out. Then stay out. I was quite shocked in another video I watched of yours that you didn’t get a fishing license. You could have been fined and kicked out then but you got a good cop. The reason our waters are so plentiful and our fishing is good is because we have strict regulations and it’s working. I’m sorry this happened to you but I hope you took something from it so it won’t happen in the future. I hope you enjoyed your time here and I would love to see you come back. Best of luck to you!!❤😊
You're the most legend when it comes to fishing cavdog haha you probably do anything to fish ❤️ and also you are an advocate of cleaning the shore line because not everyone on that area could do that.
If you stay at Airbnb condos on Treasure Island many have their own private dock for tenants that you can fish the inlet. I caught mangrove snappers and a flounder and loads of other fish when I visited. Saw barracuda and mahi mahi in it as well. Or stay near Ruskin Florida and fish their small dock I hooked a Goliath grouper there. Charter captains there will take you out fishing. I saw sheepshead and redfish there and bunch of rays. The Restaurant Hooks is great! They serve the fish you catch to ya. Stay safe
Cavdog don’t give up on Florida yet bro. I can’t speak for soflo but out west it’s difficult as to fish nearshore right now with the water temperatue so high. Once it drops to mid 70’s it gets good especially with the migrating species passing through and spawning. Hope to see you hook up with some big mackerel, red fish, trout, snook, tarpon, flounder maybe even pompano or permit. Maybe try beach jetties a bit more or some shallow wading back bays. That’s where the big snook and redfish usually are. I don’t care for piers either but there’s some wild footage of people catching king mackerel and sailfish up northwest. Anyways have a good one bro, major props for enduring the hard days
Man I have such an amazing spot for all of that .!! Wow I really wish I knew you were coming i would have made the drive across America to be there .!! And show you all my spots for all these fish .!! Man I’m really excited watching you fish here .!!

@@CavyFishing yeah haha takes time to catch from land there. The people you met were right about fishing with shrimp though, and ballyhoo work well also.
9:00 sounds like Barra. They love a single hook, no sinker with a live prawn hooked through the tail, and then let the prawn swim around and the fish swallow it

America, where we police gud!
I think that one Barracuda that has those interesting splotches is called a Pelican Barracuda. Unlike the rest, which are Great Barracuda. Pelican Barracudas are found in the Galapagos Islands in great numbers. However, populations have been increasing dramatically in the Keys. Thank you for helping clean our fishing spots. Some of us Americans do care.

What a flog! Love ya work cave man!
Hahaha yeah he was pretty serious dude , other dude was chilled
@@CavyFishing the moment he said ‘Midwest’ ,where I’m from, it made me say to myself…..well that explains why you’re such a Jackass!!! It seems every single nasty person in the Midwest becomes a friggin COP!!!! Then they try as much as possible to harass the crap outta everyone they come in contact with! AHHHHHH!!!!!! Looking at the comments, seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing, watch out for the cops! As you discovered, they aren’t wrong either, huh? Sorry bro!!!!
After watching you at home for years, and now seeing what happened when you come here….. I’m seriously EMBARRASSED!!!!!!! for my country!!!!! I apologize for the state of the states! It’s only getting worse and worse, everyone saying vote for Chump! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO THE HELL WE VOTE FOR!!!! THEY ALL END UP SCREWING OVER ANYONE THEY CAN TO MAKE A BUCK AND ITS DISGRACEFUL!!!! Almost as disgraceful as the litter you had to pick up!
Once again, I’m fully ashamed and embarrassed to call myself ‘american’ though I try to be a decent person, it is cancelled out by the next thousand and the horrible people they are and always will be. 😢
Can I move down south to Aussie???!!!?! I don’t wanna be a part of this disaster of a country anymore!
I never thought that watching one of your videos would leave me in a worse mood than before I clicked!!!
From the bottom of my heart Cav, sorry for the experience you had here, please don’t think we’re all like that!!!! Just the cops and most of the citizens!
AS FOR YOU MERICA, YOU NEED TO DO BETTER!!!!!!!! ITS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!!!! Stop playing dumb as to why the planet hates us!!!! You know exactly why!
Thank you for cleaning up the trash for us ❤
Yeah i was shocked at how much rubbish was laying around! Especially because their were perfectly places bins to put stuff in! That's just straight up lazy and disrespectful people. I was pissed about that man.
I’ve cleaned up bags and bags of trash people left behind the fishing spots all these years of fishing along the river in my neighborhood. I’m a big fan of your fishing videos, I’m so envy you could go places to catch big fish like GT, Kingfish and Tuna.
3/4 of the way through your video and I wish we had more anglers like you in Vancouver BC on the rivers. Your a true example of an ethical fisherman. You would love fishing up here in some of our BC Rivers for Salmon and trout
Hey Cavy ! Just wanted to thank you for being one of those guys that pick up trash when you are out there fishing . I do the same and my motto is "The only thing I leave behind is footprints " !
And glad you didn't launch your drone on that Military property,lol !
Kudos to you for all of your fishing adventures and sharing them with us . Life is short . LIVE IT brother ! Tight lines 🤟
Welcome to Florida! Jit activities lol we’re always getting kicked out for fishing. It’s honestly wacko
Haha yeah title is a bit of play on words but end of day the dudes where chilled and I made a mistake I guess in navigating to a spot without people haha
? if a MP was there he was on government property, do you let people you don't know on your property and do what they want to or do you ask them to leave ?
I really miss the days you boys used to catch biggest GTs, camping vlogs, catch nd cooks, island hopping.. happy days
Wait and see whats coming.. I wont be doing these trips again thats for sure. Back to my original films! Yew
@@CavyFishing awesome bro... cant wait ✌️ yewwww
i was raised in the south in Florida best baits to use for snapper and snook bone fish redfish in the morning is shrimp live on a free line rig around docks piers if you want to catch black drumb and sheeps heads use blue crab for redfish and black drum then use the a smaller crab that you can catch near the bank in the rocks called a land crab and drop it around pilons
of bridges and docks around retaining walls to catch sheep heads on the salt flats shrimp and those small crabs work the best for hard head cat fish and sale catfish use cut mullet or sailors chose panfish from dock and bridges
Thanks for cleaning up the litter mate. So many beautiful fishing spots are ruined by trashy fishermen around here. Seeing you clean it up is inspiratrional to carry a bag around
I understand your frustration in finding a place to fish. I respect your effort , patience and love of the sport . Good luck in your endeavor, you sure picked the right state for verity and size.
You be careful sleeping in car, try to find an area lit up and safe.
Good luck.

As you learned, land access to good saltwater fishing spots is difficult to find here in Florida. Especially without local knowledge. Most publicly accessible spots are well known and crowded, and are usually piers and bridges. If you like wading the flats and fishing the mangroves, it's all about finding an access point. Once you're in the water, it's all public because in 95% of cases you don't own the saltwater (does not apply to federal property, they can own the water).
FLA has mamy public waters, Canals, and STA. I fished the fresh water and lagoons for like 13 years and had no issues just do not trespass and if it's water way in a FWC controlled WMA, read the regulations.
The problem here people want to do what they want. and not follow the regulations and 2nd the leave tons of trash laying around. This is why the availability and access is getting reduced.
just my 2cts
Yes sir, i have so many videos of heaps of garbage, tires, bottles, cans, wrappers, chip bags, anything everything floating down rivers as I kayak here in the NC. Littering and Trashing the environment is part of the American soul. Pisses me off so deeply.
I have a federal ID for us brother!
Let me know when you wanna link up and create some content!
Man could have saved me in this situation for sure hahaha. Where i walked into this area was no gate but under a bridge and through the mangroves and on the road / pathway was just that really really old voice machine thing, seemed just like a rundown non operational facility, but i guess not!
@CavyFishing Ahh KAH'mon Brah, everyone know the run down ones is where they keep the monkey people hybrids and green aliens 👽
@@CavyFishing that’s almost all military installations, especially Navy. Than BAM, the one cop patrolling comes out of nowhere! Happened to me in Texas a few weeks back. He wouldn’t leave me alone! Ha ha
Love your content man, appreciate ya!
Love seeing fishermen visit new areas.
As an ex copper you handled it well. Just apologise and be respectful. They used their discretion well here.
Yeah family member is a Navy Seal, kind of get how to act haha. Dudes were fine, Navy dude was cool as off cam. Cheers mate!
What a awesome video ....thanks for cleaning around you we really APPRECIATED
I don't really fish, but I love watching your adventures. Cheers mate. Come to Canada soon. Lots of good freshwater fishing here.
Since your in Florida man you gotta try coming out to mosquito lagoon it's in Brevard county
When you're in the Keys, one of my favorite places to catch tarpon is at Mallory Square in Key West at night. The wall where the cruise ships park during the day is loaded with tarpon at night, Live bait is a sure thing, but white streamer flies work as well. You can park close by and walk to the wall and there is a ton of room to explore. Bring a cast net and live bait is catchable. I usually bring a cast net with me. A sabiki rig with tiny specks of fish bites on the hooks will get some live bait as well. Slack tide you'll see more than an incoming or outgoing and the best part, no mosquitos.
I was waiting for that Cavy charm to get you on a guide boat for a free fish : )
You can’t complain if you trespass and the get in trouble lol 😂
cavy. am a born and raised citizen. of florida. one time i was wading and did the same exact thing. i was just fishing and not paying attention any signs trying to sight fly cast at a school of slow moving tarpon across a flat and accidentally wandered into US federal border and customs restricted ocean and beach area. same thing happened but they rolled up on side by sides and all had tac gear and weapons drawn. they thoroughly questioned me for a few hours and eventually let me go because it was an honest mistake but since it was border and customs i was put on a temporary no fly list for 90 days and an alert would come up next to my name as not allowed to fly or leave country during the few months it took to investigate and coroberate my story. the military and gvt take their land EXTREMELY seriously here in the US even if youre a citizen who makes an honest mistake. had to take months to be cleared to fly again
Cavy, I'm a big fan of all your videos. I haven't been paying attention for a while and I found this video of you being in Florida!! Wow, I missed it!! I was embarrassed about the trash, thanks for setting an example in your videos!!! I hope that someday you come back so I can accompany you and show you some places! I'm trying to buy some fishing rods from your store but they're always sold out! Well, thank you very much for your videos!! You're great!!
On behalf of the Florida residents, I'm ashamed of all that trash. Mostly outa towners fish the canals and bridges so i m sure they're responsible for most that. We need to do better.
@@TNT77723 I did not say tourist. I said Outa towners. Tri county and beyond so we agree.
Its the folks drinking those Modelo and coronas. They're from waaay outa town
It's easy enough to pick it up as you walk past it- people, would drop less if there was less there, and bins there, such a disgrace, sort it out Florida! Keep on keeping on Cavdog!
The LOCALS need to do better; easier to wag a finger at strangers who feed your economy. 🤦🏾♂️
@@yadayadayada360 IMO fishermen in general need to take more pride and not only stop littering but also be part of the clean up solution. I do my part and i know many others including Keys residents who also do they're part but it's a major tourist attraction and even the guys from the tri county are somewhat responsible. I agree, We all can do better.
Bro as an American !! I thank you so much for being a good person and picking up trash of other peoples like you do! You definitely have good Morales and a good Person. I promise all American don't liter and leave trash like that. But you're the man!! Thank you 🙏
Heres a joke: There's a Mexican guy named Jose. Jose takes a 30-minute ride to work every morning. One day, on his lunch break, he steps out back and realizes his commute brought him in a big circle. His backyard was just on the other side of this fence. So the next day, instead of driving 30 minutes, he decides to jump the fence. He notices a "no trespassing" sign on the fence, but he decides to jump it anyway. He goes to work. At the end of the day, he goes back to the gate and jumps over again. He's greeted by a policeman who says, "Didn't you see the sign that says 'No Trespassing'?" He says, "It's okay sënor, I only passed Dos!"
I recommend you try fishing mosquito lagoon or the keys, much better fishing there
ATTENDANCE CHECK yiww 🤙🏼🇵🇭
Gotcha mate!
An under utilized way of catching tarpon in the keys is to drift fish stomachs under a ballon with the current. So many people clean fish off their docks the big tarpon have started to get use to eating the scraps
Yep, can't go on that property. I have clearance and I probably would be removed as well. I do enjoy going on base here and fishing though, a lot less people., decent fish. But I also have Base access and a CAC, so. But hey, could've been 10x worse, they could have arrested you for it 100 % , happens all the time. But usually only if you give problems when they talk to you.
Yeah man when approached initially they seemed pretty heavy but after the 15 minute walk back to the car everyone was chilled. I had actually a good chat with the Navy Officer about fishing and everything, he also loves land based fishing and totally understood where i was coming from. Like i say in the video, thanks again to the officers for letting me off with just a warning, much appreciated, good blokes.
@@CavyFishingI have a feeling if the navy guy wasn’t there it might have went differently. That other guy looked like he was giving you the stink eye. 😂
@@marcuslarwa9098hahaha 100% agree with you, but maybe a bit of Cavy smooth talking could have won him over too 😉😂
@@marcuslarwa9098 Chrome dome wasn't happy....disturbed his donut time...hhahaa
@@CavyFishing doesn't seem to be very secure, if they don't want people in there put up a fence, with signs every 100ft
Cavy I love the way you did that picked uo the trash, you are the best dude, keep do it and all the best mate😁😁

really mental North America tour cav dog, loved keeping up with all of it 🤙🤙
I told you bro....America not as free as you think. Everyone lives in jail or prison here and we pay for them to
Yah, I don't live in a jail or prison....
America is the best country in the world.. 🇺🇸
If you don't like it here, try Haiti, or maybe afganistan .
I see what you saying, but this was a navy base something like that!
In Australia you would be questioned and escorted out of any military base just like most countries. It's the mosquito that's the real ahole!
Bro what😂😂 what you on about. If you are on military property your not allowed to be there. He didnt know abd they gave a warning.. your commwnt is completly irrelavant
Mad Love as ALWAYS! ❤
if you noticed the beer cans, they all are mexican beer brands. You already know who left them there
I dont drink alcohol, never have and never will so im not actually sure what brand is from where hahaha but i hear ya!
Pretty cool fishing in the junk yards of America. That looked like Ben Simmons at the end.very cool!
That WAS Ben Simmons. You can literally hear him scream 'Ben' when he gets a fish on.
Thanks for coming for a visit!! I agree the trash is disgusting and it's not just where you went!! I pick garbage bags of trash everywhere I fish!
CAVEDOOOGG!! Love your videos bro. Can’t wait to see more GTs!! Good luck out there
Great Vids as always cavy! whew
I live in the US and no matter where you fish, fresh water or salt a-holes always leave trash everywhere and like you I always pick up everything including old line.
It's a shame but that's why I always make sure to pick up after the others!
Soooo siiiiickkkk, ending as hectic!
Thanks dude! Last vid in the states!
Barracuda can be a line cutter in the bridge areas as well they will take a lure easy. Saltys in mid to late August are so bad after rains and salt water crocs are a thing don't know if you ever saw any but they are making a comeback in the keys.
Thank u cavy for protect our nature. I proud with u bro. God bless
Honestly super accurate depiction of Florida shore fishing, low life litter and all. It’s a god damn grind using all artificial, especially if you’re exploring and learning new spots. Having someone take you to their local honey hole and put on to go-to lure and instantly get one is not DIY cavy style.
damn this is so crazy. Keep up the great content cavy!
Yep one of my most hated things of Florida is going fishing in what should be a beautiful environment and seeing trash scattered everywhere everyone has access too a trash can so there’s absolutely no need to throw it on the ground thanks for cleaning up while your here
Mennn i've been waiting on you for so longggg😭
If you want to catch big stuff in the keys its on a boat. I use squid and shrimp for snapper on the coast. The Keys fish are use to people throwing live or real smelling bait way too much for them to fall for plastic ones. I would have tried catching a boat to an island off the main road maybe those fish would be more susceptible to lures. The bridges are fished out mostly so I use live pilchard on a slack loose line with little weight. That might be better for the rolling tarpon. It's sad to see all the trash but in such a congested place it's hard to weed out the riff raff. Thx for the trash pickup I do it anytime i see it.
You should really try some deep amazon rivers for peacocks, they get like 85cms. It isn't cheap, but it's worth it.
Wow cavy that was a messed up last part of your trip in Florida. Thank god you didn’t fly that drone it would have been in military air space. That could have been a huge no no !!! Just glad you got out of there with a warning. Keep up the amazing work, your content is top notch and some of the best on RUclips. Cheers bro
Cavy, you gotta go to Cabo San Lucas Baja California, Mexico! The surf fishing is amazing and it’s all lure fishing from the surf. Huge roster fish and cuberas
Have you ever actually been there?
@@Rodentfisherman of course why would I mention it. Was there before Covid and in 2022 was my last trip. I bought a set up from Jensen. I’ve never fished with any guide but I definitely talk to them and get my reports. Now have you been there yourself?
The beaches are no secret, just gotta do your homework. I just realized he has been there watching that very video right now. He missed Cabo but that’s all good. Only advice is don’t ever take a drink from someone else in a bar in Mexico.
I'd sure be careful travelling in the Mexico part, two of our surfer boys from Australia (brothers) were murdered there recently apparently for the alloy wheels on their pickup. Then a few years back some Aussie surfers sleeping in their fan were burnt alive. Dangerous place these days it would seem, was there around 30 years ago and don't remember it being that unsafe. Cavy is our Aussie fishing legend all the way back from when he Brooksy and Briggsy showed us all what land based fishing was about with the Morning Tide series.
@@vassilylucashenko you are 💯 right, things were much different back then, the violence has really gone up. And I haven’t forgotten these two men. My mother was visiting her home state in Mexico when that happened. I’ve been following for a long time, just recently I’ve become a licensed contractor and work has kept me very busy. I’ll be planning a trip for 2025 season in Cabo god willing.
Just an fyi two things on the color black 1. it absorbs heat so it makes it feel hotter and 2. black attracts mosquitoes.. These are facts and not that they will stop it just makes it worse. Cool video
4:09 I screamed HELL YEAH out loud at work and got caught watching RUclips😂😂
I find the Tarpon in Australia hit micro Lures. 80cm fish hitting a 5cm vibe at night. During the day I get em on 3 inch soft plastic paddletails
HMOOB AUSTRALIA FISHING AND COOKING: love every single action man.
15:26 you are standing in my day gecko spot! legendary!
10:33 welcome to America 😂😂
Most likely Cubans, but yeah. California, Texas, Arizona, NM, Nevada, Colorado... was, is and will ever forever be Mexico. So welcome to the republic of Mexico and the US.
Great job cavy, as always!! I hope one day you’ll come here to Italy to catch pike, bass, huge sturgeon, trout, chub and other freshwater monsters! Here in Italy the sea is getting very difficult to fish because the temps are getting warmer and almost all the fish are gone. I would like to go to Florida soon and I just wanted to ask the name of the peacock bass lake. Thank you mate for bringing us always some fire content! ❤
Cavy learned the true struggle of the south Florida land based fishermen.
You are hard core man. FLA is a trip. Try fishing topsail island NC if you’re ever in the area. Mid island & inlets 45 minutes before during & 45 minutes after slack tide is especially good. Takem easy
46:28 Was that Ben Simmons?!
yes
Definitely need to get some mosquito spray next time. lol
Brother been watching for a long time if there's ever a next time. I'd love to have you out on the skiff.

Question for you: I just picked up an Abu Garcia DLC 50 baitcaster and an Ugly Stik Med/Heavy 15-25lbs. I primarily do saltwater fishing, but want something I can use occasionally in freshwater. What type of line AND how many lbs. test would you recommend for this set-up? Thanks! In the ocean, I'm typically catching rockfish, CA Halibut and an occasional barracuda.
Carry your rods butt forward through the bushes especially. Find the spot that has the best balance and it all that much easier. Good video. Peacocks and small barracuda are beautiful .
As soon as you got to the states or even before you should have looked up the laws, rules and regulations of fishing in the area you were in. Every state and sometimes counties have different rules. And if you see a sign that says no trespassing or government property, stay out. Then stay out. I was quite shocked in another video I watched of yours that you didn’t get a fishing license. You could have been fined and kicked out then but you got a good cop. The reason our waters are so plentiful and our fishing is good is because we have strict regulations and it’s working. I’m sorry this happened to you but I hope you took something from it so it won’t happen in the future. I hope you enjoyed your time here and I would love to see you come back. Best of luck to you!!❤😊
clearly no regulations on littering
@@bps6938 in Maine it’s a $500 fine if you’re caught. Not stiff enough in my opinion. Americans are lazy and don’t care.
Hi Cavy great adventure as always. now get back to tropical waters and catch and cook Yew
You're the most legend when it comes to fishing cavdog haha you probably do anything to fish ❤️ and also you are an advocate of cleaning the shore line because not everyone on that area could do that.
I hope you can go fishing in the Philippines this coming east monsoon season east monsoon season is the best season for GT on the shoreline.
If you stay at Airbnb condos on Treasure Island many have their own private dock for tenants that you can fish the inlet. I caught mangrove snappers and a flounder and loads of other fish when I visited. Saw barracuda and mahi mahi in it as well. Or stay near Ruskin Florida and fish their small dock I hooked a Goliath grouper there. Charter captains there will take you out fishing. I saw sheepshead and redfish there and bunch of rays. The Restaurant Hooks is great! They serve the fish you catch to ya. Stay safe
Cavdog don’t give up on Florida yet bro. I can’t speak for soflo but out west it’s difficult as to fish nearshore right now with the water temperatue so high. Once it drops to mid 70’s it gets good especially with the migrating species passing through and spawning. Hope to see you hook up with some big mackerel, red fish, trout, snook, tarpon, flounder maybe even pompano or permit. Maybe try beach jetties a bit more or some shallow wading back bays. That’s where the big snook and redfish usually are. I don’t care for piers either but there’s some wild footage of people catching king mackerel and sailfish up northwest. Anyways have a good one bro, major props for enduring the hard days
Great man for the clean up! Unreal how many people call themselves 'fishermen' who litter!
Beautiful fish wish we had some like that in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Man I have such an amazing spot for all of that .!! Wow I really wish I knew you were coming i would have made the drive across America to be there .!! And show you all my spots for all these fish .!! Man I’m really excited watching you fish here .!!
A can of Off spray with 100%deet is your best friend. They constantly spray for mosquitoes, but it doesn't help much. Florida is mosquito hell.
great trip cavy! sorry for the final end with the fine but hope it worth for you 😊
You have so much excitement in your voice, makes me want to sign up for a root channel
Haha this is mindblowing. The biggest tarpon I've ever caught was under the vaca key bridge, never once thought I would see it in a Cavy video. Good luck, tight lines!!!
Hahaha yeah mate! Wasn’t even a planned trip it just randomly happened! Next time will do better with plans 😅😂
@@CavyFishing yeah haha takes time to catch from land there. The people you met were right about fishing with shrimp though, and ballyhoo work well also.
9:00 sounds like Barra. They love a single hook, no sinker with a live prawn hooked through the tail, and then let the prawn swim around and the fish swallow it
Legit similar in that aspect!
Well, you had a good run 🤣 I'm sorry you never made it up here to New England! Next time, hopefully.
Hahahaha wasnt that bad! Well actually was pretty bad lol
Those Florida mosquitoes 🦟 are tired of locals. They like your Australian meat 😂. Lol love your channel Cavy.😊
Enjoyed watching you fish! Sorry about the security guard some get on power trips they can be worse than mosquitos.
Hahaa yeah man those mosquitoes were furious! I thought Australia was the only bad country for them
I agree with you Cavy, it's not a lot of fun fishing here anymore.
soft plastics work great for tarpon
I hear crab works really well but the tarpon get spooked very easily
