Fishing in The Florida Keys - AMAZING UNDERWATER FOOTAGE - Dock Fishing | The Fish Locker

Fishing from the saltwater dock at our holiday property in the Florida Keys we catch multiple tropical species and even have a surprise encounter with wild Manatee. Some incredible underwater footage and learn with us as we fish with limited simple tackle in a place we have never been before.
Here are links to some of the fishing tackle I used in this video. I hope it helps.

    Try Clonakilty in Cork John. It's only across the pond and an excellent place for some great fishing. It helps that It's also a beautiful area. I love the place for the massive bass and pollock I regularly catch there.

Around here you'd have your choice of fishing our beaches, bays and estuaries and offshore by our oil derricks.

    Funny story… just been on a family holiday to Cornwall. My 6 year old says: “Dad maybe we’ll see the fish lockers while we’re there!” “Maybe Joe but it’s a big county with lots of people!” Kept an eye out all holiday and was gutted he didn’t spot you guys. This video saved me… “Ahh look Joe you didn’t see them because they’re on holiday in Florida!!!” Hahaha

How wonderfully diverse the species are in that short stretch of water! Lovely to see Hannah again and to hear James enjoying himself too. My thanks once more to all of you for another crackin' video. My Best Wishes to all of you.

    Hello Fishlocker family from Turkey. To harden and tight the shrimps (or any other similar dead bates), you can put them in a big bottle of cola or sugary soda and leave it overnight, then they will be harder and tighter on the hook.

Someone else I sub to in Florida awoke on his boat one morning to a strange sound - he had left a freshwater shore feed on overnight and a Manatee was lying on it's back, flippers in the air, drinking from the overflow! Nice fishing footage, but more importantly, I hope all four of you had a great vacation! Stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍
