Exploring Back Roads in the EVERGLADES

Decided to just drive around and find fish by stopping along the road and fishing whatever I come across. This was my second day on my south Florida trip and I was just trying to explore and see what I might come across. Didn't take long to find some fish.

Always a treat to see you explore that area. I've always wanted to go. The everglades is actually an ancient river so it's always draining, despite how much it has changed since our arrival. It's spring fed from the Avon Park area. Since the region is so flat, the "river" system is much more broad than it is deep, making it more like a swamp/marsh with current, miles wide.

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Wow John, your videos are getting better and better. The underwater and your drone footage is amazing. I also love the music, it all fits together perfectly.😎👍

[@morningcoffeebreak7367]

I had a couple Oscars in my aquarium once. You have to keep the top closed with weight on it...those suckers will jump out when they get big!

[@samuelschult985]

Nice trip, those Oscar's are the best tasting fresh water fish I've ever tasted the meat almost has a sweet flavor, great video 👍

[@kierra_mist]

Love these roadside adventures ❤️❤️

[@perfectleveladventurefishi619]

it does look so fun

[@fishinkeylargo]

I recognize that area, I suggested it to you in a prior year video, don’t know if you saw my post or not about it. Anyway glad you checked the area out. Get out by night or the mosquitos will suck you dry. About 20 minutes after sunset the sky starts humming. Those Oscars are great tasting fish, nice firm white meat. There is an area you pass by that routinely holds 10+lb Large Mouths, I’m not ready to spill that secret online.

[@henrykosky3919]

Gorgeous scenery and wildlife Great content keep up the good work man 👍

[@mattthomen1608]

Hey John, for a good spot in the glades,I've gone to pond A1 that Roland martin fishes.it has a few mile long road w both sides fish able, no trailers allowed ,and a turnaround at the end. It was rocky at that end w pebble tanic water lots of bass... other end is all grass, and islands, killer habitat, and mega fish. I could see 20 bass up 5lbers all cruising in parades of 3 to 4 wolf packs. I stood up and they all seen me and sketched out. I go down by Belle glade,and cut over to the ponds down there.need a kayak to get beep back in there. I have a small jon boat I explored it with. Good luck Bro! Great video 💥🤙

[@cbc9002]

If you are down south part of Florida Dade and Broward County, they have peacock bass. Great fight in them.

[@turner0224]

Driving out 41 at 20 mile bend you’ll see flood gates that are open with constant flow. Tossing a worm and letting it go underneath the gate will insure a 5-7 lb large mouth. Stand there for hours just reeling them in. Good way to spend an afternoon.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

sounds fun

[@turner0224]

You had to be in the general area, if you wanted to drive 30 miles west to the finger canals you’d have to deal with snook….ha ha that’s an experience, fish on the side of the road fighting a 10 pound snook on light gear oh boy. Having been in Miami since ‘66 you find the little spots. My kids used to laugh at me, if I found 3ft of water I was casting….you see my avatar , but in the back is a collapsible light weight rig ready to go. Carry a lure for peacock, bass and Oscar’s at all times. I’ve been known to get caught in bumper to bumper traffic on the expressway, pull over and throw into a canal. It’s an illness, I see water I see fish.

[@TeufelHunden-cq6mq]

Today is Christmas day 2023. I started keeping track a year ago of how many days I fished this year and it came out right on 311. It really is a blessing living in central Florida and being able to fish this many days a year weather if its stopping on the way to or from work and taking 20 cast with the baitcaster or taking a few days off and heading over to the Gulf for some snook fishing.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Born and raised Oregonian, I was in Florida for a week in 1990, rented a Pontiac LeMans, little red turd box of a car, I drove all over central southern Florida. Saw schools of Oscars along the Tamiami road, which was pretty much a crushed coral path at that time. Caught snakes, turtles, fish, wrastled a gator in the middle of the night, watched a pure jet black Bobcat climb a tree, those memories are gold to me.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats pretty cool

[@Steve-ev6vx]

You actually jumped on a gator? No freaking way am I jumping on one croc hunter style. I have to try hard not to freak out when I see one in the water when I am swimming or in a yak.

[@wesleycartwright2581]

Great job figuring out how to catch them in the underwater video was very cool. God bless.

[@mattthomen1608]

The gar will hit floating baits.and the rapala minnow is my lure to get em to eat.i got one on a river2sea small glide bait.slow stop and go,or that side 2 side glide.💥🤙👊🤠

[@OPOutddors75]

Awesome, John! Didn't catch the barracuda yesterday, but we caught about 10 snapper and one huge one at about 10 lbs, just under a bridge in the FL Keys. I live in Chattanooga but I'm down here also all the time visiting family, if you ever wanna try saltwater in the Keys would love to take you. PS you inspired me to start me own channel just for fun. Thanks for your videos.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Sounds great!

[@user-ot2eq3zb3i]

Your casting accuracy is crazy!! I know you got snagged a couple times but I have no clue how you can lace that cast right between trees like that!! Any pointers? Love the videos, from a guy in Ohio that can’t fish right now! At least I can watch someone else catch fish!! 😂 Keep them coming!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

practice, think how many casts i get in a week, and i fish all year long

[@mattogtripleog4585]

That was pretty cool to see the backroads of Florida 🙏👍 for some one that doesn't live in Florida....

[@douglaswarner3154]

Another fun video John we enjoy watching you having fun!! The variety of fish is amazing and the water is so crystal clear!!

[@melbrooks100]

Such a great video! The composition of the fishing action with the drone footage and just driving down those back roads really gives you a feel for the area. I enjoyed this one so much! Keep em coming

[@dylanhaja6384]

Wish the conservation officers and wardens here in Ontario we're as chill. All the older ones threaten to ticket you for bs and blah blah. I paid for my license follow the laws and regs and still get harassed beyond belief can't believe I pay to be harassed. Met a really cool one a couple weeks back, younger guy, super passionate about the outdoors, that's what I'm hoping to see more of.

[@markgray8360]

WOW! Best video I have seen from anybody about anything. The underwater scenes are awesome.

[@brentreynolds5381]

Love the Florida series!!!! Looks like a blast

[@esmebschannel5838]

Awesome camera shots on this episode. Really enjoyed it.

[@MrMarcmacaulay]

I really enjoy your video's and your fishing attitude. I live in Hollywood Florida. Let me know when you are down here. I would love to meet you or go fishing. Regads, Marc.

[@IndelibleHD]

Be down there next week brother! Canal fishing in Cape Coral. Merry Christmas!

[@Robjay1795]

Exploring new areas, reading the water, thinking about where to throw, what bait to use and then it works out and you catch a nice fish. Thats the best! Thx for sharing!

[@Mezmo2010]

Super cool! Looks like a great explore afternoon.

[@mojodojo5533]

What an awesome adventure. Definitely my definition of exploring.

[@RedTed1958]

Love when you fish South Florida! Excellent video!

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

FYI. The Glades ARE..IS a river. Aligator alley cut the flow and darn near killed it. Its still threatened...in many ways. ALL due to human activity. Its a stunning and great area to fish, camp. As you know!

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Thank you! I hope you can make A LOT more Everglades/Florida backwoods videos like this soon. Merry Christmas!

[@svtluisevarela]

Loop road. Off of Tamiami Road. Several miles past Mikasuki resort.

[@jr4233]

Your videos never get old brother. It's been magnificent watching you and your channel grow over the last couple years. God bless!

[@josephpecoraro2788]

I enjoy the kind of fishing you do cause it what I do here in Southern California we got a mess of lakes but I like walking up the streams . Happy holidays.

[@chuckfitzpatrick9147]

Oh thank you, I’m down from cold. I’m now following.

[@prestonrussell605]

The drone footage and the underwater footage is awesome! Enjoyed this video a lot.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Atta boy, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and have a Blessed Day!!!

[@rebeccabrown4515]

Thanks for sharing.

[@dragemoutfishing1222]

Great content I love the land base exploring different Waters! Keep the cool videos coming.

[@brandonwebb5733]

Love the underwater scenes❤️

[@Wetpaperbagcb]

My brother in law and I were down there last year in the same areas. We live between Sarasota and Fort Myers, so most of our fishing is in salt water. But we'd like to do that again.

[@thejasonwins3765]

Awesome video! If you get the chance to do the whole road, I highly recommend it, I fish that road a couple of times a month. It never fails to entertain!

[@pauldockins9635]

All around nice, thanks for sharing

[@rayman7712]

I love fishing loop road! The bass are not big, but plentiful and you never know what kind of wildlife youll see! Lots of fun!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i really want to go back soon

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video Several years ago I went to see family and had a chance to kayak and fish parts of the Everglades No clue where we fished , my cousin would pull over and we would launch We spent several days wandering channels and marsh areas It would be worth your time You need to hook a Largemouth Bass and then get towed by a gator that wants the bass

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Another great video! I like the fact that you just go out targeting multiple species instead of just trying to catch big ones!

[@ri-jm5tn]

Great drone footage and adventure fishing!

[@elizabethz569]

~3 hours away from me and I’ve never been there to fish. I’m beyond slacking…..

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

just got to decide to spend a day doing it

[@stevekirst865]

Looks like an awesome trip.

[@d3po455]

Cool winter adventure!

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Love doing that kind fishing

[@bustinfins]

This is my absolute favorite video from your Florida trip. Love the music and the nature side of it. It resembles a video I might put out. I’m big on the nature side of fishing, I love being outdoors and filming the things that are in it. Just an overall cool video! Are you still using the same music app? You’ve had some good tunes on a lot of your recent videos that go so well with the content.Anyway I’m saving this one as one of my favorites on my channel page. Keep em’ coming brother!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah epidemic sound

[@MrBobbysmithinhouser]

that looks like a blast!! its crazy how hard some of those smalll fish fight!!

[@sayetka]

Some serious video work! Great job!!

[@thomaskitlica5572]

I'm glad to see you catching large mouths!!!! I'm showing my age but I remember fishing for largemouth and bream and didn't have to worry about catching all the imports!!!! I love your show but I truly wish everyone that caught a non native species would not release them!! If everyone removed everything they caught there might be a good bass fishing again!!!! When I was growing up Florida was the number one trophy bass destination!!! I was catching bass over 10 pounds when I was 8!!! Now you are lucky to catch one over 5!!!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats crazy

[@davidharris4030]

Beautiful looking area. Definitely have your head on a swivel with those gators around. I have heard those Oscar fish are good eating but I have never tried. Thanks as always and be safe out there!

[@williampacey9194]

Great underwater video, allot of fishing in Florida away from the ocean and gulf.

[@bret.hitman]

Beautiful drone shots John.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video some great fish

[@bartfoster1311]

It's like fishing a whole different country down there, ive never made it that far south.

[@ericwakeman6665]

Dude such an awesome adventure man very very cool!

[@bassmaster3nj]

Absolutely love your videos

[@kevinlynch6799]

Very nice. Especially enjoyed the underwater shots. Be well and don’t forget the Bug Spray.

[@steveboggs9777]

Your video quality has so greatly improved over the past several months. Really like your drone footage.

[@NatesOutdoors]

This is awesome,I have to wait for the park folks to clean up my area cause it was hit by the tornado,but it's ok main thing is no one was hurt,but it did hit exactly where I was fishing a hour before hand,but awesome man keep up the great work

[@mp3032]

Keep fishing 🎣 buddy still enjoy your video when I have time to watch 👍

[@CliffHall-go7qy]

awesome drone shot of a catch.

[@jporter504]

Very interesting underwater videos.

[@randyblevins9489]

Great video ! Just keep your eye on the gator ! The water was so clear there where you were catching those Oscars ! Loved the scenery and music track footage. ALWAYS be careful ! Pap Blevins

[@RhYn0n]

I’m glad to see John catch the branch fish like I do!

[@mrForestBeard]

It's the most popular species here in the creek close to my summer garden area XD. Got em like tons already!

[@dvntfred366]

Landed many stick bass😁😆

[@randyblevins9489]

I always told my kids that's a fish stick.... but don't try to eat 'em . LOL !

[@joshwhite9211]

We call those squirrel fish. We've all been squirrel fishing a time or 12

[@TUKByV]

I used to be pretty good at catching Sunken Brushfish. Now I'm great at snag hooking Lillypads.

[@rivasoutdooradventures]

I know exactly where this is lol I've driven that long stretch many times. If you drive it at night, you'll find python hunters out there year round. Beautiful scenery, gator central for sure! Be safe out there though. Lots of snakes and gators that can creep up on you!

[@OldLadyAngler]

I start my South Florida trip next month. Love the Everglades fishing! Nice video.

[@TUKByV]

Did you have a good trip?

[@OldLadyAngler]

Today is Day 1. Woo hoo​@@TUKByV

[@johnwhite993]

The best content on KZbin. Thanks for sharing John. Great music too and the Bible verse

[@landrover4757]

Beetle Spins are catch alls down there.

[@jaredyork5166]

Cool video.. nice v role shots... cool green jeans. And at least you actually got to use your license. Fish on..😊

[@dickborg452]

Good video

[@VONTA_305]

The fish move around due to mating season for gators and weather changes. That's one ofy favorite area's to fish in the Everglades.

[@terryschnaider5374]

That's Kool.

[@stonescepter8321]

I love the underwater footage. In the Everglades the Sasquatch is referred to as the Skunk Ape.

[@aljordan2698]

Don’t go too far off the road! Sasquatch plenty down there!

[@bretburt7317]

In the early 80's, those Oscars would have cost $70+ at a fish/pet store.

[@christophersell3497]

Never been checked in Rhode Island for either rec or shellfish, first time I don't buy one I'll get caught!

[@michaelmiller9883]

I fished many of those same spots 2 years ago. Had a blast except for the gators.

[@Jaang29]

welcome to Florida , you're right near Miami ! hola mi brother , blessings

[@TheTexasAggie2013]

Her sir, new subscriber here. Awesome video and nice content. I am in Texas, and we have such diverse water here. In central Texas, we have crystal clear rivers and creeks. In other areas, the water is chocolate milk. Different fishing methods to catch different species in different areas is so fun. Keep it up.

[@simpletanks2624]

Nice video man

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Epic intro Jon!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@davidroberson1962]

Wandering in the swamp is a good way to disappear. lol. I lived down back roads in the Green Swamp my whole life.

[@SirFoodie1904]

I’m a long haul trucker from San Diego, I’ve driven through the glades at least once a month I’ve always wanted stop by and fish in that area. But I always wondered what kind of fish I would catch in area also I was stalked by a good size gator one time when I was pulled over and walked along the road one time. One of the local fishermen pointed out to showed me the big gator was following me for awhile and I didn’t even notice. That was a scary moment.

[@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker]

That looks like a great place to fish. Very cool looking. I am sure those people are right. Bigfoot has to be there !

[@santossuarez]

how far were you in the everglades? Could you pls post the map? great video! Subscribed!

[@marcuscalzada171]

"Get out before night"....Yep....Aside from the mosquitos that will suck all your blood, the alligators are on the move and cross over to feeding grounds at dusk, so it is wise to get out at night when fishing backroads in the Everglades.

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Waters always moving in the River of Grass

[@heavymetalbarbie]

this is how horror movies start!!

[@Fishingwithfaithoutdoors23]

That shimano spinning reel is nice ain’t it. Nasci. I have one two, Shimano for life! lol Did you know there’s two different types of shimano reels that most people don’t realize. The nasci is power and the marvel is finesse. I’m going to get a marvel next, give it a try. I want to move to fl because of the fishing 😂. But Ga has some awesome fishing.

[@dw6506]

I see you was tree fishing this trip John are you going to eat it or have it mounted. As always I enjoyed, my wife and I watch these and have talked about doing this. We talked but it want ever happen but the dream is still there

[@christiankell6074]

Jealous, thats all I can say John...LOL God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!

[@ericharrison8950]

Love the content and love that you keep God's word at the end - man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! God bless!

[@reelfishin6019]

I would love to walk that road at night for sasquatch. PS You need to have a Catch Clean Cook for those Oscars

[@lvt9149]

intro music is so dope...
