Excuse me? Are you speaking for all of us?

A South Florida fishing trip is on my bucket list because of your videos down there over the last few years. Keep up the good work!

[@foreverevolving5759]

Stuck in NY missing Florida fishing! Love all the videos and clean content.

[@tobiasj2455]

Love Florida pond and stream fishing. So excited to go back next fall. Trip was cut short this year during to the hurricane

[@ericharrison8950]

Perfect timing for the trip to South Florida! Wow, I can imagine eating several of those bass! Great video. We appreciate you!

[@keithtauber4153]

Do not eat these fish as we have lots of mercury and aquatic spraying going on in all of our waters down here. I will not eat any fish I catch down here due to it. These retention ponds are constantly being sprayed by landscapers and companies who manage them to kill off the grass.

[@Yinzzy656]

And Definitely NOT bass

[@scottfrey2710]

As always, John, thanks for taking us along!! Tried bridge fishing here in PA last week and I think all my usual creek chubs went south with you as absolutely nothing hit! So its great to watch you still hauling them in! For now, I am using the PA winter doldrums to trick up a new fishing kayak I got so its ready to go when warm weather hits! :-)

[@Lesabrejunkie]

Great video John! This may already been answered but the spot on the tail is a false eye. It confuses predators. Makes you wonder how the bass got in those ponds.

[@heavenbound358]

That's what I've always heard

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee what a way to start off the video 📹 buddy!!!!

[@jonathanmurraythedustydisciple]

Another great video. After our Christmas cold snap I am more than ready to get back out to the water. I’ve got a work trip to Orlando in February and have planned to fly … but this makes me want to drive so I can take my time and fish some ponds!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh yes, there’s so many places to stop and fish

[@keenanwhite3013]

Awesome video, love to see South FL getting some love! Don't be afraid to throw 10 inch worms or shad/shiner jigs! You'll catch some biggins in those little ponds!

[@gdpurdy]

Nice variety of fish and very cool that nobody chased you off.

[@brodiedavisalmostprimitive1262]

Awesome! Thanks for that extra mile, 😄. Would love to fish there someday. Appreciate you sharing with us! It was cold up here! SC

[@campingwithmansbestfriend2447]

Love the videos all the way to the end! Heading out to Florida for a long camping trip next week, thought about taking the kayak but the gators 🐊 got me thinking otherwise

[@colinfauntleroy7800]

Take the yak. You won’t be disappointed

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yeah. That'd be the last thing you need, is for a Gator to flip you out of your boat or kayak, and into the water, where you could end up being easy pickings for him! The danger is all too real! Those things are nothing to play with, or to put yourself at risk with! Stay safe!

[@campingwithmansbestfriend2447]

My dog would be with me and she loves getting in the water, I know for sure that I’ll leave her in the camper if I go out on yak

[@landscapecontractorpro6497]

I’ve been killing it. In the pond just north of you all week. The bass bite has been on fire. Boynton Beach Mall 😂Good Job

I’ll have to remember to stay back from the water a bit when I’m fishing in Florida. But a lot of nice bass this video. Then it was nice to see the cichlids at the end.

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Merry Christmas 🎄!! Really good to see you again Brother 🤠. Extra ruff end of year, just watching you out there fishing and exploring inspires to forget the negative and just live!! God is Great 👍 thanks and have a wonderful New Year!! I am going out to fish tomorrow!!

[@paulsweet4315]

Good ole Boynton Beach! Can’t look these spots over when in South Florida. I can drop a line in most bodies of water around here and have a successful day! Cool to see you in my stomping grounds!

South Florida is so cool!! Amazing video!

[@BigRed1999]

Awesome video John! You have the best fishing content on KZbin without a doubt. I’ve been subscribed for about 2 and half years now and I always recommend your channel to all my fishing buddies. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks so much

[@johnjohnracer]

In my hometown of Chuluota FL we have a ton of lakes and ponds. In those ponds we have brim the same size as the first bass you caught. These brim are so dark they are purple.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

I was down in Miami for work in Feb 2019 and spent three weeks working and fishing...a lot of fishing. LOL! I hit the canals and caught a ton of peacocks, mayans, and others. It was so much fun and I need to go back. I would work until early afternoon, then go fishing until about 6, grab food, and go back to my hotel and do some more work. And I fished all weekend long as well. If you want to teach someone to fish and really want them to get the bug, take them to the canals. Use a small piece of bread rolled up in a ball on a small hook and a small pole and the action is non-stop. And they fight so hard. Great stuff John!! --Brent

[@martyadams3915]

I'm glad for you that you found a way to make a living doing what you love. I myself was in the heating and cooling business and honestly I mostly enjoyed it but every day I knew it was taking a little more of me untill one day I woke up and it was time to retire. Your knees and back will love you for changing careers John trust me on that lol. Enjoy it bud and if I could support enough for everyone to go and do the things they love I wouldn't hesitate a second.

[@bushcrafters3909]

I believe it is your passion that you follow and others enjoy watching because of that. I'm planning a trip to your neighborhood... Kind of to lake Norris this year. I hope to catch a nice striper. 😄🐠🐟

[@bushcrafters3909]

Also have a bonus trip to Florida next month. I would truly enjoy catching what you did in this video....I will be on the lookout for some random pools of water.

[@kylejefferson7614]

Thank you Mr. Dalton!

[@kylegolfs]

Love videos like this. I'm heading down there next week to do the same thing so your video hyped me up!

[@tedsalmon2533]

A very fun video to this gloomy time of year. So sad to see all the trash along the shoreline though.

[@howardharstine2804]

I’m so glad John you have these amazing opportunities that God has blessed you to have on an every day basis. Videos and audio are always top notch and never a lack of enthusiasm! Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you again.

[@ronaldshank7589]

I totally agree with you! I'm surprised that John's subscribership has stopped...but he has, like, 126,000+ Subscribers, and I'm hoping that he'll continue to keep his channel going. He's come so far from his very first videos. Do you remember any of those? I sure do. The very first one of John's videos that I ever saw, was when him and his Mother were sittin' on the bank of a Creek, just fishin' along, and John caught some nice fish, including a nice-sized Catfish that looked like it weighed 3-4 pounds. Over the years, Brother John has built up quite a collection of great fishin' videos for us to watch, and, as time has gone on, he's included music, footage of birds and wildlife, even different kinds of snakes and whatnot. He's included Fishing Tourneys footage, and he may have even included Bass Pro Shop footage. John's channels, Creek Fishing Adventures, and More Creek Fishing Adventures, are a true treasure trove to have on KZbin. He even speaks to us of, and from, God's Holy Word, The Bible! This is an additional bonus, that many of us, his subscribers, have benefitted from, and have been mightily blessed by. I just hope that he doesn't quit. There's got to be SOMETHING that we, the Subscribers, can do, to encourage Brother John not to give up. If that eventually happens, though, then I'll respect his wishes and decisions, whatever they may be. Still...I want to see him stay on KZbin. Something's gotta give. His Subscribership has been somewhere between 126,000-127,000 subscribers...and all of a sudden, it stopped. Admittedly, I'm very concerned. Let's see what happens from this point on. If you have any suggestions, as to how I personally can help, please let me know. We don't need to lose Brother John! He's worth fighting for!

[@howardharstine2804]

The most important thing is allowing God to move John in His way and He will open doors or subscribers added as needed to allow John to stay on KZbin and continue. John has trusted God in his move to make his channel his only way of living and I believe he has changed peoples lives with his testimony and sharing God’s creation along side of John’s adventures! Sharing God’s word at the end of each video is vital and what I personally look for and enjoy! Sometimes it’s exactly what one needs at that moment. Hoping and praying that whatever the case, God’s will be done and all honour and glory goes to Him. I enjoy the fishing and all the adventure and no lack of excitement along the way! Thanks all!

[@iadubber]

Hey John, I had planned to go to Florida for a week of fishing on a solo trip this year but the economy is holding me back sadly. Good to see you catch some nice bass!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

maybe another time you can get it

Well done again John, you really do make it fun to watch these videos. Your enthusiasm and the excitement in your voice is electric. You can never go wrong fishing in Florida, and I can say honestly; the fishing in Florida never let me down. I grew up in Jacksonville and I never went fishing where I did not have a descent day of catches. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!

Love all your videos! i always watch and look forward to the Florida series!

[@kennethjones4469]

Hey John u are my go to for all things fishing in Florida. I just left South Florida fishing after I did some work out there. I hit up the Glades and caught about 20 or more Oscar, Talipia, and Myan out there. I caught so many I was tired from fishing. Man keep them coming. I will definitely hit some more spots when I get back out that way. Check out that canal before going into the glades where that Publix ison SW 8th St. It looks like a great stretch of water.

[@stef5974]

You should check out the Florida Panhandle ! beautiful and more secluded than the rest of the state ! And the gators are scared of you don’t worry about them lol

Much respect Jon! Love watching your videos, always hoping you leave some gnarly nuggets we can steal and repurpose. 🙂 I think you talked me into another trip to south Florida, simply to fish this time around. Are you just searching Google Earth and finding these locations? I know Florida is plumb full of fish, but this is spectacular from a roadside retention pond!

[@johnbrooker6134]

Living in south Florida for 50 years if you want to catch exotics like peacock bass or snake heads you have to hit the canals. Real narrow, weedy ones hold most of the snake heads. Good luck!

[@bennyventures8204]

Lol man I had quite the gator encounter down there last week and I scheduled the video for 7:15 so weird to see the thumbnail on this one…crazy timing

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh awesome man. I’ll definitely check that out

[@bennyventures8204]

@@CreekFishingAdventures hope you enjoy it! You had a killer day in this video…look forward to seeing how the rest of your trip went, I’m wondering if you ran into any peacock bass which I was unsuccessful in catching during my time down there. I did however fish down there during the cold front…temps got below 50 in fort myers, but it produced one of the most fun days of fishing I’ve had in while fishing a golf course pond!

[@AverageDadFishing]

FL fishing is definitely different… gotta watch out for snakes AND alligators… neither one I like very much. I was down in South Florida in November and made a video while dodging alligators… great stuff!

Nice fishing Hole . Mine was frozen over .

I fished some FL ponds, daggum gators were a spooky nuisance. I hit one between the eyes with a big rock and he still kept coming after my baits. The fishing was pretty awesome though - great video 😊

[@randyblevins9489]

Yeah, 80 degrees. Just wait till you get back home ! We have experienced cold temps down to -6 degrees with a wind chill to -35 degrees .......... in S.E. Ky. !!!!!! The temps are now beginning to come up a little. 48 yesterday and 51 today. All the rivers, creeks, and lakes are frozen over ! Not able to fish anything on my time off work. Nice looking places you are fishing, with good looking fish. Thanks for making content for all of us to dream about. Watch out for gators, and always be careful. Randy B.

[@stevehogan8829]

Hi John... Been catching your florida trip in bits and pieces.

[@williamgrissom9022]

Those ponds are mostly "borrow pits" where they harvested sand to build up surrounding land above the water to build. The whole state is sand over a limestone cap. You won't find any hard rocks like granite. Natural lakes between Orlando and Jacksonville are mostly where an underwater cave roof collapsed to leave a round lake, usually spring-fed clear water with sand bottom. Probably a harmless brown water snake (or banded), though can be hard to distinguish from a water moccasin other than the shape of the head.

[@testing123...]

The white Bass are schooling around Hickory Creek park this time of year I would recommend fishing there and maybe making a video

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i do like white bass

[@davidvento5481]

The spots many fish have just before the tail is a “false eye.” It’s to distract a predator and make it target the tail instead of the actual head which gives the prey a better chance to escape. Many animals and insects have “false eyes” which serve the same purpose especially large, nocturnal moth species; Cecropia, Io, etc..

[@captainamerica2154]

I love your videos! Lived in Deerfield Beach for a bit and went to Pahokee one day and fished the Okeechobee. Gators everywhere! Ha. But on the way back, we stopped and parked at the entrance of Florida Crystals off of 27 and fished in a canal that runs the whole road. That was fun! It’s full of big gators but good fishing. 😀. There’s parts where you can stand on a pipe that goes across the canal too or higher banks away from the gators. It was a good time. Oh! One more thing. watch out for the fire ants! Experience now tells me to watch where I’m walking around a pond. Man that hurt but I caught my first cichlid. 😂

[@louv2425]

Nice fishing buddy 👍👍👍. Abit late but down here get a rapala xtrap white or pearl, or a jerk bait white or even a small swim bait white and u will kill the peacock bass for sure. Blessings buddy 🙏.
