Ok everyone, lets see how many fish look at our bait
without biting it. Comment your guess below.

*Ding* This is our last day in Florida, and we are
fishing on this bridge that we drove over everyday to get to our fishing spot and every
morning we would see these fishermen line this bridge. So we decided we wanted to try
fishing here as well.
when we start fishing here, it doesn't even seem like there any fish in the water.
But as our underwater camera shows that wasn't true at all.
Got a little hook on here, and a split shot... that's it.
10 pound test, a clam or a piece of shrimp
and this is what I have been recommended to use.
Can't say its working that great because I haven't landed many.
But they keep taking all my bait!
How do they keep eating around my hook like that?
They are eating everything BUT the hook.
The fish underneath Brendon were just toying with his emotions, they were too small to
hook and so they just ate off all of his bait.
Eventually though, our group began catching these little snappers.
Keeps stealing my bait!
These little mangrove snappers were nice and everything but they arent exactly the fish
we are looking for.
We are fishing for jacks, you can see them run through here like a Porsche, like a Lamborghini.
They are so fast.
*Line Crosses* Sh*t sorry!
As we waited for a bite we saw all these schools of fish pass below us and as we were admiring
them, Brendon hooks onto something bigger.
Look at that!
Woahhh.
That's a beautiful fish.
This is called an Amber Jack?
Wow!
Jack Crevelle!
Wow, nice.
What are some of the distinction markings on that.
Yellow tail, yellow fins, couple of little sharp teeth.
These are aggressive predator fish.
Ive caught one in Mexico before!
Im going to filet and eat it!
So I wanna ask the viewers, anybody who is watching this, do you guys know anything else
about this fish?
How big they get?
Some cool facts about it, please comment below that'd be awesome.
Do you hear it grunting?
This is going to be eaten for dinner.
This was caught on a Pompano Goofy Rig.
On a Pompano Jig. Its supposed to replicate a sand flea.
So you let it down, there is fish scavenging the bottom like this.
When they see it come up, they hit it.
Bridge fishing!
So your dad and I were talking earlier about how, this must have been a walkway at some
point and they had to rebuild they had to rebuild the bridge and probably forgot about
this project and now it seems like its the perfect fishing spot.
Because it just has a bunch of structure under the water.
Woooo!
What is it?
Oh its a pompano!
Oh its another crazy jack?
Can I flip it up?
There we go.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Another little jack on a pompano rig.
Nice!
Yeah!
We had a lot of fun catching fish and talking and being out on the bridge with the other
fishermen.
But we have a lot to learn.
Any final thoughts?
People all around us were catching fish, but they were from around here, and they know
how to do it.
Practice right?
Yea.
It looks easy, just like anything new you are trying, unless you have beginners luck,
takes a little bit of time to get used to and learn.
Did you have fun?
Yeah!
Even though I didn't catch many, I had a good time.
We want to thank everyone who helped make this Florida fishing web series possible.
We learned a lot about this Florida fishing and the fish that live down here and the people
that love them.
We will be back in a few weeks to go after those monsters with some new local friends, so until then
