Fishing the Everglades - Florida Fishing Road Trip Chronicles 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- day 2 in Florida, again blowing 25+ at the shore so I stuck to the canals but instead of fishing the downtown canals I drove west, away from Miami, and fished in the Everglades. It is the Taimiami Trail that runs along route 41 from pretty much the gulf coast to the atlantic coast. Caught a Pleco, numerous Bowfin and some Oscars all while sharing the bank with some locals and some Gators. This footage is mostly from the morning of Feb 20, I spent the afternoon uploading these video off my gopro to make room for the rest of the journey, blew a fuse, fixed fuse, and resumed fishing just before dusk.
The fishing wasn't spectacular, did catch some new species and got the bowfin all riled up for about an hour, good times exploring the everglades!
If you're ever doing some exploratory fishing trips in crazy places, you might need a lucky shirt from www.lure-fish.c...
Thanks for watching!
Love that "Weird fish" looks like something from the Amazon.
I like your chronicles.
Andy's Fishing well it is from the amazon so yeah...
Andy's Fishing Wild Cook it is

I grew up in South Florida and have caught many fish and species and have never heard of a Pleco. Crazy looking thing. thanks for the great entertainment. very cool series so far. my new obsession is a Pleco!!!!
+Kayak Engineer haha yea they're an aquarium fish but I never saw them in the wild, thanks for the kind words!
that's an amazing number of invasive species there.
Seems the everglades are really messed up by humans now.. just dumping their pet fish and snakes in there. No way to fix it now.
Surprised he wasn't catching any snakeheads. They look similar to those mudfish he was catching. If you do catch them just kill the nasty things.
Jason Kinnear a lot of the species were put there on purpose
snakeheads, oscars, plecos...
Dude! Next time you drive down there, I am coming with you. LOL. All those Species, would have added at least 5 to my list. Haha. Tight lines!
Extreme Philly Fishing i just caught a 1lb bluegill on a trout magnet on 2lb test
Fun video, lots of cool fish. It's like we are there with you. I'm from South Florida so I definitely appreciate this adventure.
+Kayak Chris haha thanks man!
love your vids. thinks it's totally awesome that you just threw the kayak on the crv and went down, totally jealous too. I been waiting for part 2, now I waiting on 3
I'm calling it now. You will have 100k subs by the end of the year.
+Cody Odom I'd like that very much, hope so! thanks man!
Didn't happen lol :(
Cody Odom 61k
Lol still didn’t happen
It happened
YES!! Rocking a lure-fish shirt!! I've got a couple of those. Abe the guy that does the artwork is a super good dude!
+Lonell Rodgers DING DING DING DING DING yessir Lurefish is the man!
Florida is just like a big aquatic pet store lol
I know because I live in Florida
I love plecos! They're so cute! I don't know I just like the odd balls!
great video, i made it through all 23 minutes without thinking its boring. well done my friend!
Thanks for sharing a great day for you,,,,,,, can it get better ?? I hope the weather is good for you. Slow the wind down. good luck be safe.
Funny how he's like "Ya'll want me to throw this bacm or do ya'll want it?" And the peoples are like "Yeah we'll take it." *They take it and throw it back*
That's what I thought, why did they take it then throw it back. lol
It's great to see you travel fishing. You know there is so many people travel to the keys and don't even stop to fish the canals, they are missing out
Love the long, entertaining, action packed videos, keep it up man
This is the craziest fishing video ever lol I love it
I'll be back in an hour or two. I want to enjoy this in HD. lol
Chris you're one of my favorite fisherman to watch. I like the sense of exploration that you bring.
+lilbromarky1 thanks man, you're always showing support for my vids, appreciate it! More adventures to come haha
This is my first video of yours and i loved it
+Gerson Rivas thanks!
Some nice bowfins can't believe you caught wild plecostomous not sure what species. Nice size Oscars also then a gar to boot. Awesome spot right there for multiple species. Congratulations!
Can't believe you tossed that Oscar back in the water lol they're awesome fish, I am dying to get one :(
+MBen89 I would have kept if but had no room and also thought it might die without aeration, however, if you are ever in florida, bring a small fishing pole and some worms and you can hand-pick yourself something nice
+Sea-Money Fishing the Oscar can breath air? or just water? I don't know much about them lol
+MBen89 That's an invasive species down there.
Walk Michigan wow really? lol I'd love to go down there and catch as much as I can. I think they're gorgeous fish, especially when fully grown.
Lol I'm blessed to live here in Florida
Dude your videos are sick!!!! Can't wait to see more!!!
awesome video so many bowfin!! can't wait for the next one
+Sea-Money Fishing yeah no problem! quick question when you saltwater fish do you use a leader? And if you do you tie the leader on or use a snap swivel?
only times I use a leader is if theres blues or if Im fishing off a jetty, in which case I'll uni-to-uni the braid to the leader. If youre not fishing rocks though, and youre fishing for fluke weakfish or bass you dont need a leader at all.
You landed a snakehead fish in 2:42...Congrats, excellent fish to eat. Your videos always fun and informative. Thanks!
i have to say this is the craziest fishing video i have seen in a long time . catching an oscar bare handed lol
Lol! Florida is crazy! It's like fishing in an aquarium! I live in Maryland. I love catching our most invasive species, the Northern Snakehead. My biggest is 14 lbs. They haven't hurt the other fish species at all, in fact I think its gotten better.peace
most of these fish can be found at a petshop im actually shocked you didn't know what that Oscar was i thought all fishermen had fish tanks that they throw hook-less jigs into during the winter months lol
Chris G definitely not me
Absolutely loving these! so fun to watch, really want to do this.
plecos are the sucker fish in a lot of aquariums
ha ha ha killin it right now love that weird ass music too lol I love fl i try to get down there once a year i have a feeling when you get to the keys your gonna wish you went staight down there i love exploring catchin all kinds of weird freshwater fish but you and that kayak at the keys could equal great stuff
''do you guys want this one or should i throw it back?'' ''putt here'' threws it back the next secound...
liam cleary they are when they get to size very good eating. We have been lied to about what is and what is not good to eat. If it swims except on very rare occasions it will tast good on the grill or fried
Yea like really wtf
Awesome video bro...I'm in NY. you gave me some FLa fishing experiences I've never seen. I appreciate it!
I love oscars soooooo much. Their like aquatic puppy's. Lol
+RC MAN 23 I have 2. They're little beggars, much like my dogs haha
RC MAN they are aquatic assholes
I love how you just go and you try and catch new fish great video
hello from Russia! good fishing!!!
This would make an awesome tv show, traveling around fishing new areas
that would be awesome if it was a show
If you think that road is crazy, drive down I-10 in Louisiana. It's essentially a bridge over the swamp for a ways.
+Wallace Sweeney III southern louisiana might be my next big trip, I like the sounds of that!
+Sea-Money Fishing chicken liver is great for gar
+Sea-Money Fishing Almost guaranteed to catch a gar down here.
+Sea-Money Fishing quite a few swamps that have literally hundreds of gar that stay on the top. Great for bowfishing
That's the Atchafalya Basin. I've been fishing it often. It's really pretty.

This is a great video... Really shows where you are and is a good representation of what it's like here. Catching Gar is fun. Easy to get to bite but hard to hook. Anything will get their interest... weill pickup minnows and carry them around,,, may hook one out of 10.
"You guys want this one?" "Yeah just leave it there." (throws fish back out in pond)
I know that made me laugh for some reason
I was looking to see if someone else noticed that lmao
Yeah me too what the heck was up with that lol. I wonder if he kept the second one
Canal
nice to see you enjoyed south Florida . saw your other video in the keys. I actually live off Tamiami trail. let me know if you ever head back down here I'll join you. keep on fishing bud. - Alex
i need a pleco in my tank asap!
Ultra light + trout magnet. One hell of a combo.
This has to be your best video so far I wish I could join you dude!!! Would love to do this thro nj
+james Hurley we'll get out in NJ this season!
lol i have no car dude thats why i said i would love to join you when u back in nj ? would love to meet up and fish and learn how the usa do it
Looks like you had an awesome trip.
That is a lot of oscars
What a awesome spot you found.
I love catching Bowfin.
We fish for them in Michigan.
We use cut bait too.
i have oscar and plecos in my tank 😃
Awesome film man,what a days fishing looks fucking great wish there was fish like that here in England,but I'm coming to Florida next year on holiday so I'm defo coming down this road hello from Manchester England 🎣
looks like a sea robin
+Ethan Roach definitely does look like a searobin youre right
albino
+Sea-Money Fishing that white rubber bait is a good bait i caught a 2Lb bass down in Lake Yale in central Fl
nice
it's called a armored catfish
one word.... Gators! ✌️😉 awesome catch! u are so lucky u didn't get wrecked from that lil gar,....they are nasty slashers ... I actually got the state record for "florida gar" it was my first !!
you sound like rudnik from ricer miata
no
more like JP from hellthyjunkfood lol
holy fuck
Is this why this video is suggested
nice video, cant wait to do some Florida fishing this summer when I visit my uncle.
Someone needs to bring a net.
Lol so true
plecostomus (the spiked black fish with the suckered mouth) have spikes on their fins especially the dorsal, which often get caught in nets. the safest way to catch them is by hand.
Love your video. I wish I had done the same thing on my trip to the keys.
Pronoucnced tammy ammy (;
Pronounced*
Oscars are awesome. I had a couple in a tank. They are very docile. I wish I was there!!
you got mugged? like somebody took ur stuff
Some People are assholes in Florida somebody stole my 80$ shimona spinning combo
Nice man, I've seen Pieco's here in Brooklyn also guys must have released them by accident. That was a pretty sick Bowfin bite too. Would have had that exact same strategy chunking on the floats....good thinking!
+EliasVFishing pleco's in brooklyn? you think they can survive the winter up there? I never see them down this way but then again I never look.... down there in those miami canals though they are thick like salmon haha
Now go fishing for gar and you will catch a tarpon
+i_fingerboard11 haha you're probably right!
When I went to Florida for spring break this year I stoped at that same place. I was able to get some ghost shrimp and some cool minnows.
why should you catch it and torture it and finally release it :/
Fish don't feel pain like humans
+ThePickler PickleBobby I've been fishing since I could hold a line in my hand and I know that the majority of time they get injured internally and die.
+Modded Mobile Nation oh well
+casey escobar its because it hurts
casey escobar they do
I love watching this kind of video, its like I am in a adventure as well. please make more i am your fans.
+GDGUCB thank you! more coming
You can't release plecos
Yes you can, there's no law against that because they can't force you to kill or take them. It's just illegal to have some fish alive in your possession
Dreadie Andy by Florida Law it is illegal to release Plecos! m.myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/freshwater-fish/
for being new to florida youre very impressive. its actually extremely suprising how well you were doing
Well he is quite good at fishing elsewhere
Wet your hands before touching the fishs :(
Shut the hell up
+beatjam13 Why?
shhh
+beatjam13 someones salty, and enjoys harming lots of little fishies. you monster
you don't know anything about fishing do you lol
A lot of action on this canal, amazing
Thanks...I'm local and I enjoy catching Gar as much as the next fish... BTW they are good eating... use a pair of tin snips to cut the skin off.
How beautiful are those roads... omw man. I'd love to open up my 1jz on roads like that.
as long as you keep it real and ,continue fishing I will fallow and enjoy.
+James Wright thanks man!
Nice! That's like one of the only spots to fish around there, gets pretty packed. We usually walk on the trail that runs behind you on the other side of the street. Nothing special really. Wish ida found your channel sooner. It's great.
Love the variety thanks for sharing
Great videos !! Very entertaining !! Keep it up
That looks like a lot of fun. I just moved to Florida and want to give the Everglades a try!
Awesome channel brother, entertaining as hell! keep the shit up
Wish we had fish like that in the UK.. Looks awesome fun!
nice glad you got that gar!
Bests video I've seen yet!
It's an Oscar the fish you caught after the gator
Love these videos man! If you ever decide to make a trip to AZ or if you're on your way to South Cali you should let me know haha Those impromptu trips to completely new areas are what keep the flame alive for fishing!
+TD Fishing thanks man maybe one day we'll get on some reservoir flatheads somewhere haha
Awesome trip, big fan! I need some fishing buddies like you. I'd have gone too. When you come back to Cape Cod or MV for albies, bonita, and stripers I hope you post more vids!
+Chris Lambert thanks man!
That's a pretty popular spot. I was there this past Saturday. Decent fishing Oscars, bass, tarpon, gar.... There are a couple of boat ramps there too.
lol wasn't thinking. i just started listing fish i've caught.
awesome video man florida fishing is great
that's wild I'm from Ohio never been to Florida to see or catch anything like bowfin or snakehead 20 years ago we had Oscars for pets now there common in Florida lol,by the way big balls dude I couldn't stand next to that water without a 44 mag on my side knowing gators are under my feet
Loved the video dude, awesome fishing
It''s unbeliavable my friend
you can catch live shiners around 6 to 12 inches long and use them for bait. cast them on heavy line and heavy duty rods cast right up against the wall where the bridges are especially where water runs out but hang on cause big bass will definately hit them. all along that route is especially good fishing. there used to be a place we called the glory hole that would produce several ten pound bass every time i went.
Nice vid. Nice fins, Im kinda curious to catch one. I did not see any down in Florida. I saw a ton of gar though.
+FishAholic Fishing tonnnnns of gar. Lotta bowfin in Jersey, we fish for them in the dead of summer when everything is beat. they're usually pretty cooperative
That pleco was really good looking.
From singapore here , our lakes are common with peacock bass and snakeheads , pleco in some lakes too
Very cool looks like a lot of fun greetings from germany
cool video. can't wait to see the keys
Awesome! I keep watching this vid haha
I need to make a trip over there to fish cause it look fun catch new fish
The first fish you caught is called well at least we call them in Hawaii. Sucker Fish. I had a huge one in a tank with my huge Oscar. They're called sucker fish because swim around sucking on the tank walls or floor. They eat the grim off the tank so they kinda clean the tank for you.
if you want a gar they are all over panhandle of florida too. you may want to use heavy braid or just a light metal leader gar teeth shred line.
Man looks like you are having a good time. Never caught a bowfin before but they looked like a fun fight for the most part. I am not to comfortable fishing with notion of their being a gator creeping the fish im about to bring ashore. haha. Cool Vid thanks for sharing.
+jurassicsushi thanks man, yea IMO the bowfins are underrated and get a bad rap from the bass guys, they get pretty big and I enjoy catching them! thanks for watching
+Sea-Money Fishing that pleco would be worth 150$
+Jordan None They're fuckin everywhere in florida lmao i'm pretty sure thats false
Fun to watch. Thanks.
I catch those bowfins on plastic worms. Mainly zoom trick worms with a texas rig. There's so many of those in the glades.
Favorite fishing video
looking forward too to ep 3 of this trip
