Damn that Tarpon was a nice size at the beginning. Awesome jump! Great looking Jacks as well and sure the fight was ridiculous....next time you go bring some crabs and fish right next to them bulkheads and concrete pylons...see if there's some sheepshead or tog next to them...Great vid Mike!!

I forgot what it was called but I caught a massive bass (and I saw a black fish oh shore)

I admire your faith in that one lure. If it was me I would have changed it like 20 times😂

That was awesome. We all are going to be looking forward to a follow up to this place!!

I just watched one of your videos

You should try trolling when you have a long peddle like that.

Nice Tarpon jump, thos always raise the heart rate.👍🎣🎣👍

I put up all that fencing on the sea wall with a double decker pontoon boat 🤣😂 The screened baitfish and shrimp return is what is dumping back in. Best winter spot around.

Hey man, great video! I used to fish tarpons with my dad in Brazil. This fishing is really particular, it is a visual fishing. You should observe the water and just wait for the fish to come to top water (just like on 23:23 and 23:30) and then you cast just behind it. Reel in aprox. 3 times, stop for half a second, and keep doing it this way. You'll catch'em a lot more! The white shad you're using is great choice, by the way. Good luck on your next adventures!

I live near a now decommissioned power plant. When it was in operation, the cooling tower outflow was 10F warmer than the surrounding water. It housed migratory fish like striped bass and bluefish year round. Now, fish still show up there, but not nearly as much.

Jacks are so much fun to catch. And they make awesome shark and grouper bait.

We call them biting gnats No-See-Ums. They're about 1/100th of an inch long. But have 6inch fangs. They can be pure maddening.

They are freaking awful 😂

Use me as a get a fish finder button 👍🏾

This spot deserves a revisit with live bait next time. I think some topwater would also be productive.

Getting that Tarpon would’ve been epic

PLEASE GO BACK WITH LIVE SHRIMP AND FREE LINE THEM you won’t be disappointed 1/0 circle hook no weight you’ll slay them

I love fishing new spots! Definitely worth your trip! Awesome brother I know you had a blast! 😅

NO fish are trash fish. I enjoy catching them all :)

Remember, jacks have a very familiar fight to tuna and bonito. They like to do circles and they have that pulsating feel when they make their runs.

Love your videos keep up the good work I’ve been subscribed to you since 2019 and you’ve never let me down

Thanks for the hunt in unknown areas, I'm just getting started up here in Omaha. From what I have found out there are a bunch of spillways avail. Keep up the hard work brother

I need to see some more tarpon from you👍

Always bring 2 rods, one for small fish, one for big, or do an all setup rod to catch all sixe

Bring two rods and troll with the second one

Btw you should go sheepshead fishing with fiddlers or mud crabs in this area the pilings look loaded with oysters and barnacles 10/10 sheepshead territory

I slayed on the sheepshead in sand key beach today, not sure if you been to Clearwater yet , but I love catching jacks! Some of the best fighting fish , and I’ve caught my biggest off the jetty at sand key beach 😉, fun times

That was awesome dude! Great catches!

Dude! You are fishing in my favorite creek to fish when I lived in jacksonville!

Jacks fight above their weight class for sure. Really fun to catch, big or small

If you eat one of those fish you’ll probably gain superpowers.

Awesome fish man! Its really awesome the places you get to go and catch monsters! Love the vids!

They look like a form of trevally from us in australia. They both have that signature grunt hence their nickname “grunters”. That’s awesome to know they have cousins in Florida. We also have Jacks in australia but they’re mangrove jacks and they’re a whole new box of biscuits. Great vid mate

29:01 “I’ll tell you what” 🤣 cmon now Florida man getting acclimated are you? Loved this video bro. Get em out the way 🔥 🔥 🔥

i like the new gopro angle

Fished a few in Florida. Giant fish love the water cooling outputs from power facilities. Back in the day...they put restrictions in how close you can get.

That spot that you saw the water rushing out of the pipe is an awesome trout spot! There is a ten foot hole out from that pipe!

If you have to use a kayak to get to the power plant, there's probably a Zapdos in there!

“I’m not convinced that there’s not fish here” is a line I use often

Thanks brother!! Appreciate ya! Fish onnnn!!!

Nice fish!

I catch big tarpon under that big bridge!

As an employee of one of these places, the water going out is cleaner than the water coming in. This appears to be a mixture of coal and natural gas plant. There is no radiation as that is not a nuclear facility. Also there is more radiation in your home than we face on a daily basis at a nuclear facility.

water is safe. You wouldn't believe how strict the rules are on releasing water are. I fish Texas power plants all the time and the fish are safe.

128th viewer! Up here in upstate ny i havent caught much, theres been no ice but still too cold to get bites

I saw a guy using barnacles for sheepshead on a KZread video. He carries a scraper and holds a bucket to catch them when they come off the piling

yay, love the feeling of seeing a new vid

Been a bank fisherman for the last 20 years until I finally bought a kayak last summer. I’ve been missing out big time 😂

Love the yak videos!! Would love to see a backwater swamp type vid

Jack on ultralight is always amazing.

Let's gooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I know it made your day hooking that fish... Because it made mine.lol.keep the 🔥 Coming my guy💯💯

Should try dipping your white paddle-tails in chartreuse dip if you can't find them packaged like that. I think it makes a big difference. Give it a try.

Wicked bro much love from Australia 🇦🇺

Super cool love the vids and I hope to start going fishing more often.

yoooo the foot is healed?! happy for ya man. Arent jacks so fun?!! Regardless of their size, they FIGHT!

Awesome place you found Mike!

That tarpon hit was crazy 😮

Loving the kayak vids

i love catching big fish and after losing too many due to 30lb mono popping i switched over to braid on all of MY reels. my mom and nephews still use mono so i spooled fresh 12lb on theirs for the upcoming season. i use 30lb braid on my 4000 size reels, 60lb braid on my 6000 reels, 80lb braid on my 8000 reels and 100lb braid on my 10000 reel. 13 rods sizes range from 2.5 feet(zebco dock demon) to 15 feet.

Cool Video!!🔥 because of a power plant the Steelhead from Steeltown have 3 eyes 👀 !! No joke !!

Awesome video!!! The best one yet!!! 🙌🙌

What a fish, keep up the good work!!

Nice jacks ‼️‼️‼️

Love your videos man! But I want you to do a catch n cook on the good fish you catch. You usually cook smaller fish and let the bigger ones go🥲

If you get hit hard with a swim bait stop reeling and let it dead fall to the bottom, usually before it hits the mud or sand the fish will have turned and ate the bait, they are used to blasting through bait balls and turn to eat the injured baitfish....its worked for me a lot

WOW I love this

5 fish died in the making of this video

That bridge with the traffic coming off the island holds some of the biggest croaker in the state ..

shoulda had the RAD counter from fallout on the bottom left and have it tick up slowly as you got closer to the plant lol

Looks like Great FUN! What Reel are you Using?

Anougher great video. Always something different.

Great spot bro fun fun fuuuuun fishing spot an the tarpon whaaaaat let’s gooooo😅

Man I wanna catch a jack so bad! Great video

Great video man ❤

Do fishing fresh water with sand fleas

Topwater kayak video would be cool

Idk if you get them in the us but here in Australia we have a lure called a cranka crab. It looks like those small little fiddler crabs and you fish them the same as a live crab bait. Hit the pylon and just let it drift down small twitches rinse and repeat

Been waiting for these artificial videos

9:27 Bless You. Bless you.

Try a white fluke there next time for those tarpon.

Love the videos ❤️

you should try to see if catfish will eat saltwater fish

Why do you not have rod holders for the tracks on the kayak so you can put rods out the side well your pedaling ? I also have an old town pdl and I have two rod holders one for each side to put rods out and I always troll a lure well moving from location to location and it’s crazy how many fish I hook up with transitioning from spot to spot ! Something you should definitely look into!!

You definitely would’ve been spoiled if that didn’t break off. Look’s fun man

nice catches. I'd hope to own a yak someday and go places.

If you don’t mind me asking what bait shop do you go to because all the ones I go to in the same area you fish are all either out of live shrimp or the shrimp is way to small to fish with and its ok if you dont wanna tell me I understand.

Best KZreadr out there

You should do a catch and cook jack in some other clean water because this water is untrusted.

Love your videos

Your welcome

All that water and not a drop of it is drinkable lol

your in jacksonville that was damnspoint bridge you were actually really close to a spot for bull reds

I wouldnt eat anything youd catch from that river mike kool video.

I miss the 3 eyed fish from the Simpsons there😂

The water coming out of that pipe might be warm. If it is that's what the fish are attracted to

Was it a nuclear plant? If not i would say youre likely fine. Even then youre fine because the water that flows back is simply used to cool the reactor but doenst become irradiated because its not in contact with radiation.

Have you ever hit the Newark area or bear a couple hidden gems over by rt 40

13:00 I got one, OMG its a tarpen. (starts cranking like a madman) 13:20 He go off. Duh!

Take a go pro and go back and get some under water video. Also take some fresh bait.

GT is most fun fish to catch and good eating fish

Man looks like good place for sheeps

This video is uploaded on my birthday

Nice jack bruh
