Microfishing on a Marsh | Florida Microfishing

[@armandorjusino]

I love this micro series, the hidden world of this species is really atractive.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

It is way more interesting than I thought it would be. I bought some micro tackle just so I could catch some of the little sunfish we have up here in North Florida that I didn't even know existed.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thanks. I love the diversity in all the different fishes around the world. Our would has so much beauty out there that so many people never see.

[@TheFishingNomad]

That's awesome! Which species are you looking for? I've caught some banded sunfish and bluespotted sunfish up in northern Florida. They're a neat genus.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

@@TheFishingNomad Gulf Coast Pygmy was my most recent lifer checked off the list

[@TheFishingNomad]

@@Steve-ev6vx Oh that's awesome. I targeted them once near Tallahassee, but I struck out. I know they were there, just so hard to get them on a hook.

[@FrankLadd]

How cool was that!

[@TheFishingNomad]

Pretty cool.

[@doofy28]

Good job. Great info.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thanks a lot.

I recwntly got into BFS fishing but this is whole nother ballpark here. As a fellow fishing youtuber you sir have gained my subscription.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thanks. Some fish species just don't get big enough to catch by traditional fishing means. I've never used BFS, but I do love doing some ultralight fishing for bluegills.

Spent a bit of time in FL in around 14/15 but wasn't into micro fishing then, this video is making me wanna head back with the tanago's! I fished a similar area to this, Myakka park.

[@TheFishingNomad]

That's a great reason to come back and give it a try haha

[@michaelvines805]

I envision Florida being a vast marshy wetland such as you see there.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I live in the northwest part of Florida and it is mostly rolling hills with pine trees until you get near a river or creek, then it gets swampy.

[@rae7693]

southern Florida is more of a marshy expanse, but northern Florida has some amazing wetlands as well!

[@bradley7394]

It’s mostly golf courses and sub developments now

[@TheFishingNomad]

Almost all of Florida (south of Orlando) looked like this originally. Humans have changed it a bit, but you can still find places like this out there.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Yup and that's too bad.

[@donalddaniels2675]

I thought you were going to be in a world of hurt when you mentioned that almost 1 lb. Mayan cichlid! I was imagining it rushing in and destroying that micro outfit... or at least spooling you. 🙂 Also you mentioned Nile cichlids... were they small? I've been catching a lot more of them over here in Lehigh Acres (SW Fl) in the past year, and some have been decent sized. (a lb. or more) Guess they are getting established over here.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thankfully I was able to keep the cichlids off of the hook. In this spot the Nile tilapia were on the medium size. They were probably a bit under a pound, but might've been a pound. In the Fort Lauderdale area I've seen and caught a couple well over two pounds.

[@werftv4580]

get em

[@TheFishingNomad]

I'm trying to lol

[@scottwilliams778]

Love the videos. What chart do you use to identify the fish?

[@TheFishingNomad]

That completely depends on where I am and what body of water I'm fishing. I've got a small library of about 15-20 books for fish identification. Check out this link for the best book for freshwater fishes in Florida: amzn.to/40e6cdr

[@BotsWeekendCovers]

Hint, a cast net would get every species in a couple casts? LOL

[@TheFishingNomad]

True, but my goal is to catch them on hook and line. That's something I can't do with a cast net.

[@BotsWeekendCovers]

@@TheFishingNomad it was just sarcasm 😉

[@ElectricFisherman]

Love the microfishing videos- reveals a whole world of beauty. New sub from my channel to yours.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ericmoree8060]

Throw a cast net your catching bait, I don't get it!

[@TheFishingNomad]

@@ericmoree8060 I'm not catching bait. My goal is to catch different species on hook and line. How would I catch these species on hook and line if I use a cast net?

[@TheFishingNomad]
