Fishing for Anything on Everglades Roadside

[@robynrobison4050]

Brings me back to when I was stationed at Homestead AFB, Homestead FL. You could catch ANYTHING from peacock and largemouth bass to tarpon and snook in the brackish canals

[@jimfromm3981]

I live in Florida and look forward to your Everglade roaming videos. I love the combination of exploration and fishing. They inspire me to get in my Jeep and make it downstate. Thanks

[@blueboyhotwheelsandmore869]

2:24 I saw 2 peacock bass in the water when you were showing with the polar glasses, they had 3 stripes on the side

[@WorkingClassFishingPodcast]

What an insane place to fish! It truly is like fishing in a aquarium!

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

True we have fish everywhere

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Nice job. Those “roadstops “ along that hwy are like a fishtank. And yep, those were little peacocks in the water for sure.

[@thebutlerfamilyadventures]

I grew up in south Florida and loved fishing the canals. You never knew what you’d catch.

[@arnoldzilban8274]

It's always so much fun watching you fish, man...and you honestly simplify things to the level of every common fellow and gal who enjoy fishing the simple, ole fashioned way with normal gear everybody can get--without the 50 mile trips on power boats or $500.00 per day guides or what have you.

[@angelgigabyte]

Great video! Brings back memories I used to live in Miami and fish in that exact spot along Tamiami trail in Big Cypress. Watch out for water moccasin when walking along the banks.

[@sammarkey672]

Those Nikkos float really well. Sometimes I just use a hook and fish topwater with it. Caught one of my biggest bass that way. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

[@johnwilson3891]

Watching from chilly Indiana, looks like fun. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Keep them coming for all of our enjoyment.

[@douglaswarner3154]

Watching from Buffalo NY I’m really enjoying the cool fish you are catching ! Have a merry Christmas!

[@saqwedcxz12]

I did the same kind of fishing in the Everglades and Miami area for about six months back in 2016. I started to catch peacock bass and started to take some of the people I was with to catch them.

[@engineer2001]

I used to keep Oscars in a 75-gallon aquarium, and they got so big they were scary to feed. Lol Fun video! Thank you, and merry Christmas! 🎄

[@ZackaryFoxAdventures]

Once again thank you so much for getting us away from the real world on your adventure down in South Florida

[@PuddleWalkersOutdoors]

Beautiful fish!! Florida is a hot destination for some great fishing action.

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Let's go man!

[@RamonOutdoors]

What an interesting fishing spot. Those fish were beautiful and had amazing colors. Great video!

[@chriseisele9969]

John glad your having a great time keep em coming. I thought peacock assumed peacock bass had teeth maybe down south American thanks for your videos and most importantly your passion for the lord

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That place looks unbelievable!! So many fish 🐟 in there!!

[@cb4636]

Dude! You need to get on the other side of that guard rail. You are way too trusting of those people flying by. Love how excited you get on every catch. God Bless and Merry Christmas. Stay Safe!

[@dennisstewart7849]

It is nice to see you so excited, John. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@terrymiller111]

The colors and patterns on those fish were glorious.

[@tedgaddy7398]

John thx for another great years of fishing videos, and all you stand for, merry Christmas and keep up the great work

[@jeffhenderson934]

Thanks for reminding me how much fun it was fishing ditches in central and south Florida. Worst thing that ever happened to me was a friend taking me Snook and Red fishing around Everglade City and this Corps of Engineers “S” turn at Port of the Islands. Ruined any other kind of fishing if you’re into top water and throwing/skipping lures.

[@Djtwilo850]

If you ever wanna know where some “secret” spots are I grew up down there. My dad ran fishing charters for over 40yrs there. I can point you in the direction of some freshwater monsters. I’ve caught 4.5ft freshwater tarpon peacock bass you name it.

[@kirkdavis2881]

Fishing is even better in the summer. Hot with lots of bugs but the tropical fish like it better.

[@michaelviens2894]

Brings me back!! Slinging them like that with gramps on lake Bryant in Ocala

[@TimHaunFishing]

That was a great video. Amazing the spots you find and pull fish from. I'm glad you're having so much fun.

[@conklindavison7127]

Like aways, music was great, the fishin' was great and the scripture was great! Ye'ah!

[@doinitwithjl5421]

I was in many of these exact spots recently. Many of the places are my go to fishing spots down there. Peacock bass seem to have spread through most of the canals.

[@streettrout855]

What a blast! May the lord bless you with many more years of adventures John.

[@billyholly]

Amen! Keep the clips coming, John!

[@roberthill1400]

Watching you catch fish on Christmas Eve mornin. Doesn’t get much better!

[@scottbenzing1361]

My old stomping grounds. Been 16 years since I left for Wisconsin. I used to work for Big Cypress National Preserve. Brings back memories.

[@j.d.9648]

About 3 of those Cychlids, seasoned and coated in corn meal and frying in the cast iron skillet would be wonderful!! White, flaky meat! They're delish!! Loved the video!

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

All true that my home town area 🎣

[@thecuriousvida]

I really miss fishing the Glades growing up. I need to get back home asap and catch some big snook! You reminded me I need to book a trip asap!

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

I can't wait to go. Gonna be out there in like a week for 4 days. Going to be targeting LMB, Peacock, cichlid's, gar, snakehead and some light inshore and if we have time some keys fishing.

[@albertpeterson7134]

John An Amazing Day Of Fishing. Thanks For Taking Me Along

[@albertpeterson7134]

I Will Be Watching For The Next Episode

[@cjclaeys4368]

I like that @ 7:18ish, using the good ole Jimmy Houston quick release system. Try barbless, catch just as many and easy to release them. Looks like fun, thanks for the video.

[@JohnSmith-rn8ui]

Drove from Orlando, through the Everglades ,& onto St Pete s beach & finally ended up in the keys awesome trip from uk

[@HookLineSinger]

Man I LOVE those canals all along the roadways in south FL. My son caught an 8 lb bass in one last year on one of my singing trips. God bless.

[@circuitsevenautotech7488]

Wow bud that pawn is amazing. I love it when there’s a bunch a fish like that makes it fun 🤩

[@TruthLivesNow]

That last Oscar had amazing colors! My aquariums are not large enough for these fish. I do have Black Convicts, a smaller Cichlid, that are problably in there with the rest of them.

[@gcrauwels941]

2:29 Those were Peacocks. I used to find many species of non-natives in SoFla canals.

[@biggumstevens1784]

I am envious it seems like you just fish and have fun

[@ericharrison8950]

Watching and thinking, "Man I'd like to be fishing too!!!" Good video! Merry Christmas!

[@vaderfluffy]

You Sir are a slayer and a pleasure to watch. These fish were very healthy

[@1016FISHING]

That looks like so much fun! Love fishing trips like this! Great video my friend.

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

I love these road side kind of fishing vids getting fish out of everywhere

[@harrynutz4550]

I just got into Florida vacationing can’t wait to go fishing and post it on my channel 👍

[@danflores8445]

Another great fishing adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianathern9154]

I can appreciate the aquarium fish. These Florida videos warn me up. Thanks for sharing brother. Enjoy

[@trudyeagan4336]

A unique place to fish. I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad. Florida’s eco system is wrecked. But it makes a great video. I look forward to more.

[@francismarion6400]

No it is not WRECKED. LOL Just too many yankee's using too much fertilizer on their lawns.

[@rotorheadv8]

@@francismarion6400 Between the constrictors, iguanas, various other reptiles, South American and African fish, it’s been pretty much wrecked and will never be the same.

[@FlxmesFN_YT]

It is NOT wrecked, the ecosystem is amazing but there’s just some unwanted non native species

[@travisrolando8205]

Awesome video as always John! Have a great time on your trip! Stay safe too! Merry Christmas!

[@raubism]

been trying get u fish creek 35 mins from where your from lookout creek runs from tenn to ga to bama dumps into tn river

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i know, still havent been there yet

[@paulsherman7802]

I was on the road for a while through the south. A Pocket Fisherman provide me a lot of food from stock ponds and flooded ditches.

[@partner348]

Used to fish The Tamiami Trail canals the same way. Bass and snook galore. The Oscars and the Cyclids or the peacocks weren't there yet when i fished it. looks like they've taken over. Not sure i'm as excited about them as you are what with the natives apparently being pushed out. Used to be BIIIG fish in those cuts.

[@jeffskidmore64]

I fished in that area just south of Ochopee and I had lots of fun catching lots of fish.

[@differentfins]

Exploring new water and multispecies, that's my flavor! Super fun video!

[@steveramey4229]

Great video John thanks,great to see you fishing and Merry Christmas.

[@lorenoconnor6448]

Nice video, last June I fished southwest Florida and caught tilapia and Mayans. So much fun.

[@danwiens9830]

Do people keep these to eat or do they target larger fish. They are about the size of tilapia. Maybe do a catch and cook on the roadside. In a safe place of course.

[@jlondon158]

I like that release --- just like my last one. Looked like a gymnastic routine . ( 1:50)

[@redddogg2461]

I did this a few years back with a Buddy. Fished creeks next to Lake Okeechobee all the way to alligator ally then back north. Nothing but fun caught a ton of bass some freaking oscar bluegills a few snake head and 2 baby tarpon. And a bunch of gators

[@peterjohn1]

I'd take my kids where we could catch a brook trout on every cast. A nice small stream in the mountains of Colorado. One stream I liked to fish would yield 5 different species: brook trout, rainbow, brown, cutthroat, cutbow hybrid, in a single day. All nymph fishing with a 6 1/2 foot Cortland Black Diamond fly rod and a hare's ear nymph I liked tie.

[@coty7228]

Looks like an awesome trip and a great place to fish, I hope you and your family have a MERRY CHRISTMAS my friend.

[@tomfisher2103]

Too cold to do much fishing here in NJ so will just enjoy watching someone else get a few. Merry Christmas to you good sir!

[@joejoerobinson8724]

I like that you’re more a wing it fisherman you tuber, when a lot of those guys down south are more like look at me I get the biggest fish. Good stuff, i’ll go get a 6 pound peacock merry grimace

[@moutaintopfish1597]

Being a fish keeper that all be stuff to bring home and put in a tank. Brought back a goby from Florida a couple years ago

[@bernardmckenzie9639]

Creek fishing i am a south florida miami native and now living in Alabama many years ago my friend use to tell me man we can't eat those oscars and seclids but later after fishing in the Okeechobee lake we caught tons of them and please don't just catch them they are just as good as brim and even crappie to eat. So take my advice take a few home to cook. The invasive species of oscars, seclids, and peacocks, and snakeheads are good!!!! If you want to throw in a few iguanas you will definitely understand south florida...Thanks for you wonderful videos..

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i did talk to several people that were keeping them and eating them, i need to try that

[@bernardmckenzie9639]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Yes like you i was ok let's see and after the taste test it was like dam. This is good so thank you for responding back and the next time you catch either species u won't be disappointed.. Now the iguanas I am still looking at that but most people say if you can get over the looks of this lizard you will be licking your thumbs …Thank you for response

[@placitas52]

Loved your video. Wondered about fishing that area. Sorry, but had to laugh when your cast hit that tree because that was what I was thinking my cast would do.

[@BreamBassBeyond]

Definitely a blast fishing down there! Something everyone should try at least once if they have the opportunity!

Are those bright colored bream looking ones good to eat?

Hey, good to see you made it. Hope you're having fun. Yep, I know exactly where you are. Yep, the majority of them will be Mayan Chichlids or Oscars, or Black Bass, Spots, or Bowfin and Gar. All of them are fun. Nice work, Peacock on a Helgramite. woohoo. Glad you're having fun down here. Oh and Merry Christmas and hopefully we all have a good New Year.

I almost skipped this video, now I'm glad I didn't. Great catches. Merry Christmas.

[@brrsgraham6181]

Except for one kind of Peacock Bass, the rest of those fish seem to originate from central and South America? Is there an issue with exotics taking over the rivers there as well?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i think most of them cant live very far north

[@adamberman9348]

I live in Weston Fl … those are Mayan Cichlids .. about 15 years ago there were none anywhere…now they have taken over … Spotted tilapia snakeheads and Mayan cichlids all invasive species… Peacock bass were brought here intentionally in the 1980s
