Underwater Tornado - Whirlpool

Underwater Tornado - Man Made But Cool.
This is a cool effect created by the outgoing tide pulling water from the Gulf Flats across US 1 and out to the Atlantic through an underwater pipe that runs below the Freeway. Because of the full moon, there are longer and stronger tides. Usually the pipe is not totally submerged. The weeds add a but of effect.

Very Cool !! I'm always amazed at the places you have explored and your knowledge of the waters and fish of the southern Keys. Always entertaining. Thanks, Mickey

[@JimMFishing]

If only I'd had that clip to fixate on back in the 70's. Unless the camera is throwing off the size, those looked to be some decent snappers in front of that drain awaiting dinner.

Yea, that was what I was filming and that water funnel kept getting in my way. LOL.

Yea, a lot of the bigger snappers get those as they don't migrate out from the warm water flats.

[@1539Mickey]

Steve, Are there any Redfish, Speckled Trout or Snook in the Key West waters ? Mickey

[@KeyWestKayakFishing]

Not really around key West. They become more prevalent as you move up the Keys. Some local Snook that are around year round but not enough to be a target species.

[@p.w.7051]

When I watched your other video I was trying to figure out a good use for that horseshoe crab tail. Now I know, get it and stick it in that damn hole before the earth's core cools and we are all doomed.

[@KeyWestKayakFishing]

That would really get people pissed off when i killed a 1000 crabs so that I could plug the hole with tails. LOL.

Ever swim in an area where No matter which direction you try to swim you have no propulsion. It's like your floating on air but your in the water.

[@KeyWestKayakFishing]

When your out in the blue water out of sight of land, I imagine it would be close to the same thing.

Hey Stevbe, Put the plug back in before the Keys go down the drain!
