Inshore Spearfishing: Cocoa Beach area Causeway

[@Coolbreezeoutdoorlife]

What boat ramp is that you are using? Thank you

[@cicatrez879]

Awesome black drum and impressive for inshore

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Thanks! Obviously I had to hold back in how many I shot. The freezer is only so big. Although I do have lots of friends that are happy to take my fish.

[@mattyeackle6745]

That’s so awesome I always wondered if we could do that around here I’d love to give it a try.

[@Coolbreezeoutdoorlife]

What is the depth ?

[@mookieo3]

Never thought to try there. My mother lives just off Pineda causeway. May have to give it a shot next time I'm visiting.

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

All the causeways are loaded with fish

[@noheawilliams784]

crocodiles are gnarly here next to pineda. seen gators too. Sharks also bad.

[@rayray6366]

Can you see in the water pretty decent with some sort of light?

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

You could experiment with it. I have and with so much sediment, I feel like I can see better without one. Kinda like diving in heavy fog with brights on.

[@joelaszlo4725]

of all the bridges you were under which one has the most snapper you have seen? thx and nice video

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Not sure, but Pineda and 192 are pretty loaded when they are in

[@Jamiedays]

Nice one pal. Watching from the U.K.

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Great! Let me know if you ever end up in Fla. We will get in the water.

[@Jamiedays]

Thanks I will do, keep up the good work and I’ll try to here as well.

[@MakeMemoriesTravelMore]

Great spearfishing Jess!

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

thanks my friend!

[@olex.p6447]

Consider getting a better gun/reel set up, diving bridges with no reel on your gun is quite dangerous

[@1954mje]

Hey Jesse, Hope you are ok and doing well. You haven't posted in 6 months so hang in there guy. I have become very interested in spear fishing via free dives. It was great to see a good quality video of inshore spear fishing. My goal will be to focus on the wrecks and coastal waters of the Mississippi Sound. At 66 I might be late to the sport, but with classes and exercises I feel I will be exploring barges, wrecks and other features in the sound.

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Nice! I certainly recommend a freediving course as a minimum. I live in West Palm Beach now and am starting to shoot videos again.

[@DontStopBrent]

Are you still fishing here?

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

I live in West Palm Beach now

[@barcafishing6243]

Wow bro I go fishing over there for mangrove I always do good now I know why.. nice video I will to try spearfishing there also

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Good luck!

[@danbrunski469]

Nice mango. Subbed

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Thanks!

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

It's really great to see how many fish are down there... sometimes I wonder!

[@reelgangsta1851]

Are you free diving these spots? Great video dude!

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Yep. And thanks!

[@knab1212]

You ever see sharks?

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

sometimes, but typically only when I am in the ocean.

[@jbeastist]

it is illegal to spearfish at jetties and bridges

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Hey Joseph, it depends on the county and on the bridge and Jetty. I am going to be doing a video soon to cover some basic spearfishing laws.

[@jmcc5168]

Thought it was illegal to spearfish near bridges or jettys

[@tonycorbitt9016]

It's legal as long as you stay out of the channel and fly a dive flag. You do need a valid fishing license. I've been doing it since 1969. Just don't shoot snook, trout or reds. The FWC po-po will get ya!

[@jmcc5168]

@@tonycorbitt9016 ya I belive your right. I investigated it and something about you got to stay so many feet from a fishing pier if the pier is under a bridge. But interesting I live right there where these videos were taken know them well.

[@Carowick]

I’ll be down there from the last week of March into the first week of April. Would love to try this out if you’d be willing to be a dive buddy!
