So my 7 year old son and I were opening our pool this weekend, and I over heard him saying over and over again. Welcome back underwater everybody! 😂😂😂 love the content and so does my son! Thanks for all the videos!!
Lol
that's incredible, I love that for you lol
😂😂😂
Haha this is amazing! thanks for sharing!
These little springs are less common these days because of the growth of SFL and the increased usage of the Biscayne aquifer. The flow will be determined by the aquifer level and the tide. With a low tide there is less static pressure to resist the flow of fresh water. The Biscayne aquifer level varies by rainfall and you should see increased flow as we return to afternoon thunderstorms.
Thank you for passing that info along! :)
It makes sense. The springs on the west side of Florida are greatly reduced since I was a kid. Water flow is impacted by rain fall, how much is in the aquifer, and people using it. I have unknown springs over here that are dead now from 10 years ago that used to pump all the time.
Ladies and gentlemen, science!
You beat me to that explanation. Im a 71 year old geologist.
Hence The BULL SHARK 🦈 Exist in Keys, the are a brackish species. Afterall
We have springs like that west of Homosassa, Fl in the gulf some as far as 20 to 30 miles offshore in about 20 to 30 feet of water. What’s interesting is that my father told me stories of finding Indian pottery in and around the spring. I’m 9th generation Floridian since 1843.
Aaron, I’ve been a fan of the channel since you first started it. Really appreciate your style of content. A lot of channels have gotten too wrapped up into making elaborate productions. Your episodes have always been transparent. No other channel like it.
I watch your videos habitually and i always feel lucky that i was able to meet you and get on a charter with you before you stopped doing them! If anyone was wondering Aaron is just as cool, genuine and knowledgable in person than as he is on the channel! Hope all is well!
I always wished I could have done a charter with him… ur lucky
Get a room
Really do appreciate that!
@@truckpilot 😅😂🤣
Honestly, Thank God for your channel. I end everyday with you calming voice and beautiful underwater images. Thank you!
so glad you enjoy it!
I feel so bad for those who don't know that feeling of running across flats when it's glass like that. Such a wonderful feeling. Like you could just ride forever!
Watching you harvest your own food makes me happy too!
Haha that makes me more happy!
Nothing like a blackened fish sandwich , a ice cold beer ,and a ocean view.
amen!

Also all the inland Springs seen the slow way down on their flow during the dry season January to May. August September, they flow real heavy during the rain season.
I dont care what anyone says….a freshly caught grover pan fried or blackened on a nice bun with lettuce tomato and a little mayo with or with out cheese and a little bit of hot sauce is the best sandwich in the world!👊👊🐟🐟💯
I agree 100% brother
@@williamc.fetterjr9036 you know whats up!👊🤘
Couldn't agree more!
💯
What a great day, Aaron! I love how Madeleine always shows up when the food is ready 😂👏🏻👏🏻Girl after my own heart! Loving the content! Have a Blessed Day 😊 🤿
I've noticed that too 😅
There are some nice ones north of Garden cove marina used to catch lobster on them. Noodled a few grouper in them as well. It's an artesian well and the water in those wells in the Keys aren't exactly freshwater they are less saline than the surrounding water that is why you see a little blur from the mixing of the water. The wells are abundant near blasted channels which collapses them and makes them show. The water only flows out when the tide is lower during high tide there is no flow.
You know how many times I lowered my head trying to see better watching this video 🤣
haha you should see me in here editing
We have 2 little springs just around the corner from our house in the canal. The bigger of the two flows most of the time but when we’re really dry and haven’t had rain in a while it stops flowing. The little one is about 100 yards from the big one and only flows when we’ve had a ton of rain, I figure it’s probably a vent off the bigger one and only flows when the big one is at max flow.
On another note that sandwich is exactly the way our family has been making them for decades. Mayo, pepper Jack, chef Paul’s, LTO on a potato roll. Keep up the great work
In Australia we call your springs “wonkey holes”. Long of the short, during our summer/wet season the water source for the springs fills up enough and flows out of the spring mouths. I dare say it would be the same deal over there
Wild! I appreciate the info! That sounds about right
Pretty much the same but our water source starts up in Georgia. The aquifer runs the length of the state. My well is 83 feet deep. There are underwater cave systems within the aquifer that can be extremely dangerous to dive in.
You guys are the absolute best! Will and his “meat shots” was a funny moment. I had a weird moment when you held the camera at the front of the Gheenoe looking out over the water, I wanted to be standing there with my arms outstretched, my 20-25 good hairs blowing in the wind and just having a Titanic moment. As a 60 year old man I’m not sure this is normal 🤡
I think it’s great you guys harvest your own food.. I really think it’s even better that unless you’re commercial fishing to pay the bills, you take just what you need. I love your videos and watching you guys!!!
we do our best to respect the resource, thanks so much for the positive feedback
Love Maddy using the 5 second rule 😂
Bro, Im a big fan of u! Congrats for the channel, and thanks for sharing with us. Im from Brazil and its kind fun to see the diference betwen the fish behavior and the technique. Be safe bro 👊🏽
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoy them 🙏🏻
You guys are great! Way to live, keep it simple with good friends!
Awesome back bay - mangrove shallow water experience as always. I have incorporated your "brain and bleed" action plan, and I must say - Yes, there is a unique taste difference. For example, just spent 36 hours in the GOM (115 miles) catching all types of legal snapper and grouper. Immediately: brain, bleed and gut. Then, let the fillets "rest" in paper towels overnight to reduce moisture. End result was an amazing culinary experience. Thank You! Also, respect to Wil for wearing his NY Rangers shirt. We share the same geography, growing up on Long Island, NY back in our day (mid 1980's) it was tough being a NYR fan while the NY Islanders won 4 straight Cups! #LGR
You should get with the key west tourism board and have them sponsor your channel. Every vid makes me want to move there more and more.
So great of a video. Love when y'all all get together. Thanks again for taking us along.
Thats so awesome. I agree that being in the water is the best therapy.
Camping on Vancouver island n watching this = chill = hunger!!
Howtohunt is my other favorite. Aaron and Steve get life. Pleasure to watch both.
Nothing more relaxing than spending a few minutes and watching your videos.
We get underwater fresh springs around the Great Barrier Reef here in Australia.
They are called wonky holes over here and are extremely soft. You can lose anchors in them. They are very good areas to fish for cod and grouper species as well as other reef fish
I never get tired of these videos,the scenery is amazing..Florida is the gift that keeps on giving.happy fishing sir
What a great episode Capitan! Glad you’re feeling better and thank you for helping us to feel better and more relaxed. Beautiful scenery and your knowledge of your surroundings and skills are beyond reproach. Thanks for sharing with us, always a pleasure. Bid you and yours continued success and happiness always. Looking forward to viewing your next episode
Yeahhhh Love seeing you do rad stuff on the Gheenoe!
The spring depends on how many people have there faucets on or off. Best wishes
My husband is a diver too. This is my 1st time seeing your video and it makes me happy. Something I can show my hubby ❤
This guy deserves more subscribers
really appreciate that, just enjoying the ride.
I love those inshore videos. That spring is so cool. I picked up an old spoon that an old timer found in the mangroves 80ish years ago. He may know about your springs if he’s still around. I’ll try
I wanna say I love watching your videos step by step throughout your day, also the fact you don’t use music, the ambiance of just driving on the boat with the ocean as background noise is so calming, thanks for another great video!
Aaron, I am so glad you have a way to release tension and just get away from the world! It’s ashamed that we all don’t have one ourselves, but thank you for sharing yours!
What a life! I am envious. Thanks for the awesome content
Closing on my place on Little Torch Key the 17th. Can't wait for growing my own stuff in Puerto Rico and spearing new territories 🏝🧜♂️🇺🇲
Heh.. good luck.
Are you from PR?
@@robbs2875 nope Maple Valley Wa.
@@Christian_Tango_Christ Oh ok...be safe out there bro
Long time not watching your channel, I subscribed to so many channels that they pushed yours out of my top ones on my TV, refreshing as always. Tx
Amazingly chill adventure & great fish sammys!
Key West Water Mango! Cool spring too, I didn’t know they were that far south.
Love this, love your channel! We did a little of kayaking off 41 by POI and always loved seeing all the fish swimming in the mangroves. The life you see in them is just so beautiful’
Between you and life by the bow, i love you guys so much God bless yall keep these videos coming
Awesome! Living the dream !
We have some springs just offshore here in Northeast FL. I remember, in the 80's you could see them "boil" from a distance, and they were 40' below the surface. There is also a big sink hole called the red snapper sink about 25 mi. out.
Life is good! Nice episode
Thanks for sharing brotha. good eats all summer
What a great crew .. love these videos guys
The spring is so cool- if you ever make it up to central Florida we have a ton of springs!!
Yes there are all kinds of fresh water springs that come out from the mainland into the gulf. Most are always pumping though. I dont get why sometimes these are pumping and sometimes not. The ones we have there are always fish stacked up on them in the winter time. They like that temp thats maintained at 72 all year long.
We I love you talking!!!😊
I look forward to every episode. :)
Man....what a banger video !!!!
from now on no skip ad to your videos sir aaron.
I love your channel! Every episode is great.
there's a hole like that off long key bridge and it has cold water coming out of it!! never even thought it could be a spring!! Awesome video like always.
wow! mango. i love unripe mango with vinegar and a little chilli and salt so yummy.
That shot of you cleaning the fish was perfection!
I love these mangrove diving videos!! I’ve never had the opportunity but hope sometime in my life I will get the chance to do this!! Awesome video as always, thanks for bringing us along!
love the video ... especially the end
Awesome video!!! Sandwiches look amazing! Good work! ❤
definitely a spring. some are intermittent like that. water level in the aquifer dictates flow. We have a bunch of springs north of Tarpon Springs on the west coast that are out in the flats like this.
Hi Aaron I’m not complaining, I was watching the video on my iPad at the table and in the first dive you did I found my head getting closer to the table and ducking to stay underwater 😂, you might say I was engrossed in what you were doing. Good video mate, sorry I can’t help you out with the spring
Great sammich exactly how it should be done , perfect reaction on that last one.
Nice shoot at the min 10:35! Thank you for this channel, I really love it.
We have quite a few springs north of you off Naples/Marco Island area. We experience the same things. Sometimes pumping sometimes just a depression. You described it exactly how we see it as well. Clear, very cold water.
Another awesome video.
Awesome video Aaron! About the springs, i was told years ago that a spring in the keys that we have been too that these springs are like a geyser/hot water spring not only cold spring. They only release water when the pressure is right. I don't know the truth behind it but that's what i was told. They are like the geysers but only cold water instead. Don't know anymore about them than that. This was a tiny 2 or 3 foot hole clearly pushing cold water out. It was fairly clean but not beautiful clean. Pretty cool to see.
Send a cam down the spring . It's something I would also like to know more about . Great vid
Hearing the birds hooting in the background while diving is pretty dang cool. Sounds like a pigeon
Ya’ll are liv’n the dream. I grew up in Kendall, and my dad would take us almost every wknd to fish the bridges in the keys. My wife and I now are almost I say ALMOST ready to pull up anchor and get a 5th wheel and just move down. The keys waters are hands down unparalleled in beauty
I remember scuba diving off lower Matacumbe years ago on a ledge and swimming up to a section of the ledge where I could see a movement of water coming out of it. The water was extremely cold, about ~80 feet down. Just a small area but the current coming out was very noticable.
Love these episodes 🤙🏼
Great show thanks
You said it what a beautiful day
The spring on and off that you referred to depends on the rain happening as far north as south Georgia days before you visit.
Love that puppy!!!😊
Good morning Aaron 👋🤙great video share thank you brother🤩
These are my favorite videos of yours. Please keep them coming. As far as the springs, they are all over the gulf coast of FL, they're underwater caves and tunnels underneath Florida. The flow is sometimes dependent on the level of the aquifer I believe. Florida author Randy Wayne White talks about them in his books pretty often. They are truly amazing, as are your videos.
Since I can't be down there making my own fresh fish sammy's it's a pleasure to watch you guys, thanks for taking us along!
Edit: I couldn't get these off my mind, went out and got a few Black Sea Bass and made some blackened fish sandwiches last night - thanx for the inspiration, they were awesome!
A spring is just a relief valve for the underground aquifer like a volcano the aquifer can go for miles under ground with all the irrigation in fla the pressure fluctuations
Brother, I love your videos. I always share them with my wife.
Wow! Your first time ever filleting mangrove? You made it look effortless good job! Lol thanks for sharing as always!
Went on an eco tour once in Key Largo. The Capt said manatees use those underwater spring as a fresh water source for drinking. Love the videos!
Tipsy snoring made the video great!
Always have enjoyed your videos
Aaron is living "HIS" DREAM!:)
ENJOYING from Riverview fl.
Love your vids
Happy Memorial Day everyone! We were at the beach catching whiting today, so I don't feel too bad about not being out there in the keys. Appreciate the underwater footage!
So delicious food❤
What makes you happy, makes us VERY happy! Very cool Cool Water!
🥳😊👍! ❤2u3!
Not to be personal. Was if the five second rule 😊 that stole your heart brother 😊 appreciate y'all sharing such a wonderful story 🙏
Wow! Aaron to the rescue! You guys make a great team ! Will has great cooking videos but Aaron is the fish slayer! Will even makes good dishes from Aaron’s scraps! lol. Great video!
Great job guys nice bag of fish. And if I had to assume I would say it has something to do with the amount of rainfall. Also might be a sinkhole
A rhythmic spring (also: ebb and flow spring, periodic spring, intermittent spring) is a cold water spring from which the flow of water either varies or starts and stops entirely, over a fairly regular time-scale of minutes or hours. Compared to continuously-flowing springs, rhythmic springs are uncommon, with the number worldwide estimated in 1991 to be around one hundred.
With Paddlin Madeleine doing your taste testing it's hard to think about the blackened snapper sandwich! She's such a beauty KWW! And yes, that sandwich looked great too.
There was a young diver man named Young, who was blessed with high capacity lungs, he said with a grin when I go down its a win win. The curse of the awful limerick strikes again.
Learned something new on this channel everytime!! Awsome!!! Entertainment!!!👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
That is what you call living! Love the video but would've loved to see you in deeper waters getting some slabs but this was fun! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
O my! That salt water touch!!😮
While the cutting or dredging of canals around the Florida Keys drained surface & runoff water, it also lowered the fresh water table by several feet. This has reduced & even stops the flow of water from these wells especially during the dry season or droughts. As a wildlife biologist once told me, the temperature of the water flowing from these wells is consistently 52 degrees. That constant water temperature can be a major attraction for wildlife during temperature extremes. Whether the air temperature is 100 above or 10 below, 52 degrees feels mighty good at times!
I think it is 72 degrees F.
