Found your channel 3 days ago and subscribed after a few videos. I used to creek fish when I was younger, but went and got geared up to enjoy this type of fishing again. I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where we have quite a few creeks to choose from. Having to wait for the creeks levels to go down, they're moving too much to really enjoy walking one down. Thanks for sharing, I love it.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

One of these days it will stop raining so much

[@FloBass]

Awesome to see you in my home waters! Just a taste of the Florida craziness. Glad you enjoyed. Hope your thumb recovered!

[@FloBass]

If you're coming back down, hit me up and we'll take the duck boat out and catch some.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it was awesome, i want to try to do it again in january if i can do it

[@bryanpeterson3714]

Next time you come down here bring some heavy braid line with a top water frog and cast around those pads. Frog fishing is great here and a lot of fun and you won’t get hung up! 🐸. Great video!🤙🏻🎣

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will be prepared better next time

[@grungeboy1752]

I heard that frog lures are great for peacock bass. And good ol hula poppers work great as well

[@barrydouglas3137]

Jerk bait. Watermelon trick worm for Bass. You was 20 miles prob from big cypress preserve. The splits right there on your right. Pass the first two levies and catch em all day. 3 plus all day. I get wore out from fishing so much!! The second levy you can camp on too. Love the Everglades man

[@jamesbell8970]

Oscars are an evasive species in the everglades the fish should not have been released back into the ecosystem

[@Qstick333]

Bryan Peterson do you use a mono leader with that setup since mono floats and is a little less visible?

@@CreekFishingAdventures I keep medical sports tape or electrical tape in my tackle box just for my thumbs on those great days for fishing.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

I was down in South FL between Christmas and new year and fished two days. There is really good fishing all over the place. I caught largemouth, peacocks, oscars and even a gar. And I also noticed the birds everywhere. I even saw what looked like a tropical bird.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

For the bass thumb, put Chapstick on it at bedtime and it will be on the mend in the morning. My wife shared that with me.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Somebody used to market a Condone thing for your thumb. It was made of a heavy material and slipped on fairly tight. Have you seen them around anymore?

[@TheFishingNomad]

Loved your Florida videos. It's cool to see someone from the outside come in and fish your spots. Glad you enjoyed your stay and be sure to come down again soon.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes i had a great time, it was so different than my normal fishing

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

Thats my home 🐟 ever where i love it and yes my hand get cut up from so many anger fish 😂 but reall talk

It’s cool to see the excitement from fishers that come to Florida. As a kid I used to catch those pacers all day really bigs ones! Keep the videos coming!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

next time i want to try for the bigger ones

[@Hoggy1963]

cool. good stuff. those peacock bass are good fish

I've caught several fish over 7lbs. With 8 to 12 inch lizard or snake the big boys like the snakes fishing weedless drag it easy over that pad and bam ! There's nothing in this world like that feeling .

Great video, this place is amazing, you have beautiful fish, Congratulations for your good fishing. fishing and good fishing.👍

Some great fish there John, glad you shared the video and had fun catching all those fish

Great Video John !! Can you fish any water way down there ?? I see you just pull off of the highway and park. Many Thanks !!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah, people were parked everywhere and anywhere

[@drumavenger83]

As it was explained to me, unless its marked (private, no fishing, etc) then it's free game. So side of the road, by parking lots or parks are all great areas.

[@larryschulten9356]

Great vid. I always thought Florida is the honey hole fishing spot of the states. Love the variety.i hope i can fish there some day.

[@12againsports]

Great video, John! I love seeing the hellgrammite getting the job done! Awesome stuff!!

[@Richard-zm6pt]

That big spotted fish, after the Oscar, with the big caudal spot isn't a bass, is it? I don't recognize it, but it looks more like a cichlid to me.

I gotta get me some of those Nikko Hellgramites, are they only available online?

a few stores carry them, mostly online nikko-fishing.com

What stretch of highway is that you’re fishing.. I will be down in that area for 2 days and look for a roadside spot to two?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

the road that goes through the everglades

[@exoressdelivers70]

SW 8 Street. Also known as Tamiami Trail. It starts in downtown Miami and continues west through the everglades.

[@bigblackmonkeyballs5273]

Man, that canal is producing, wish I could fish there. Nice peacock bass, really cool species of fish. Can't believe that fish bent your hook!!! Awesome video. Tight lines 🤘🎣🤙

[@robertgildea2841]

The type of gar that you were missing is alligator gar. They are are hard to hook. Unfortunately we don't have the alligator gar in the Chemung river in Elmira NY where I fish.

[@tomfisher2103]

Nice work down there in the sunshine state.

[@piterherea2472]

What’s the name of that fishing lure? In your description it says grasshopper, but it looks more like a centipedes

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

nikko hellgrammite

[@kerrypitt9789]

Totally enjoyed the fishing you experienced. You are catching a lot of larger aquarium fish I think which may be why they are there? Florida is so screwed with invasive species all you can do is find a way to enjoy them. Great video!!!

You are correct, same crap in my area

On 7:30 min of the video, Which road is that? What is the name of the road? Can you show it better on next video because I think I have the same one. On my road The name is red devil and I don't know where it come from. I have the light version 10-40 Action but it's very very strong. By the way i love your videos. Can you Try to catch another fish, something like chub fish or do you have some other species. Thank you.

[@PiperFishing]

Hey if you are usieng those Z-man ned heads, the hooks on them are crap. Owner and Trokar make much higher quality ones.

[@newera_tb7294]

Zman ned heads are made for extremely light line like 2#-8#.. if your using anything heavier than that for line it's gonna bend your hooks out😅

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah i know that now, i do like them on light line

[@zzebz972]

Same with Bass Pro/Cabela's. I think they are crap, too. My Nikko hellgrammite will easily outlast those hooks.

[@Tebelansfishing]

What kind a bait did you used?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

jerkbaits and Nikko Hellgrammites

[@Tebelansfishing]

Hope you going come back in Florida

[@walte99]

Did you get to do any saltwater fishing while you were in Florida? More specifically, were you able to use the helgramite in saltwater and, if so, how did it work? It sure works well in fresh wzter!

[@careywatchmenhieatt8141]

Bless ya brother. Really enjoy your videos

Where can a man get the famous hellhramite? Are there any smallmouth down there? You might try braided line. A little stronger with the small diameter. Great verse.

Nice! I'd love to go down there with my BFS(UL baitcasting) gear, for those fish.

[@microharman]

Should you throw back invasive species? Thoughts?

[@crazyfingers19]

Question for the ages. I felt that way about flatheads when they showed up in the Susquehanna and the game commission wanted(s) you to destroy them but they are pretty well established now and I doubt recreational fishers will put a dent in the population. I do keep a couple 24 inchers a year because they are delicious. Now snakeheads? Although they are established in some areas, I don't see any positive reason to return them to the water. Super voracious. Plus, they compete with our beautiful native bowfins.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

good question, have no idea, i didnt see any signs about it

[@user-em6zu4it8e]
