Hey Brandt, "Clearwater Will" here! Instead of going all the way to 75, take 19 once in a while! Yes, it's a bit slower, especially once you get to Crystal River. By taking 75, though, you are bypassing some really nice spots! Manatee Springs State Park is a gorgeous crystal clear swimming spring in Cheifland! The Rainbow River in Dunellon and The Weeki Wachee River near Brooksville are the two best spring fed crystal clear, peaceful meandering, canoeing/ tubeing rivers that I have EVER seen. Dunedin Causeway, Honeymoon, and Calidesi Island State Parks have an amazing fishery. Calidesi Island has been voted in the world's top 10 natural beaches several times! During the summer, this entire area has constant schools of tarpon, snook, redfish, cobia, and blacktip sharks cruising the troughs between the beaches and sandbar! Brandt, it's right up your alley, but with so many different types of gamefish! Clearwater Pass and Sand Key Jetty also holds tons of fish. Last but not least is the "world's longest" Skyway Fishing Piers! It's plural because there is a north pier and a south pier. Both are incredibly productive! Another nice feature about these piers is they are only about 10' above the water and the rails are concrete, but only about 30" high! Some sites report the lenght of the two piers in error and backwards. The actual lenght of the north pier is .62 miles and the lenght of the south pier is a whopping 1.5 miles long!And THAT isn't even the best part! You can drive your vehicle or RV out to your spot! That means CAMPING! If you do have an RV, you can have showers, beds, food and AC! (if you also have a generator). So give the Tampa Bay Area a try. we'll be glad to help!!!!

"You're goal on I-75 is to not just total you're vehicle" - so true!

Dude this is such fun family content. My boys and I love watching then try to do the same. Thanks Brant!

Great video sir!!! Extremely excited for parts 2-3-4 and so on LOL 🤣

Great video, Brant! Thank you

A great Part 1 waiting for more!

That was a really Awesome Adventure you took us on Brant catching that many species would be a blast👍

Great vid remember to get kings, Bonita from the pier !!

Great fishing road trip man, lots of great catches!!

Omg Cant wait to dig into the action!! ❣️👊❤️

Always enjoy your videos. Waiting for you to try your luck up here in NE Florida. Anxious to see part 2

Very neat video for those of us who "used" to fish back in the day and who really enjoy your thoughtful presentation on this video. Thank you so much I really liked the video.

Love it - snakehead at the end was great. Can't wait for the new "cool" video ! ! !

Great Idea!

I've worked all over Florida and my favorite place to go to was everglades but I didn't get a chance to fish it but it is on my bucket list. Thanks for all of your informative videos.

Great video, wish I was there!

Looking forward to the next episode.

It's a great video. I've been following it

8:18 who sees the monster ? ?

Awesome video!

Didn’t know you knew about Delray! Nice Video!!

Nice video Brant. I was wondering how many rods you took on the trip? Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.

Fishing in gulf breeze is super fun!! Sometimes at shoreline or woodland there will be a redfish or 2!!

I've been to Lover's Beach, love the Bonita Springs area!

👍

Lover's Key in Bonita is a beautiful place!

Brant cool vid, passed by and did not stop on skyway or Ft. DeSoto in St. Pete.

I just updated my gear with a reel from your store. A Slammer DX 2500. New wifey said get a nice one. So thanks kids!

Triple tail from land, now I'd like to see that. Great video content

Loving the FSU hat! If you come through Tallahassee and want to do some fresh water stuff, I’ve got the spots.

👍 i enjoy this type of content. Catching Reel Memories

🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟👍

Should have stop at Tampa then Bonita beach. Cut down on krome ave to go to the keys. Before the keys go to biscayne bay at jetty walk trail. Can’t wait for part 2.

Greetings from the i10 in California lol

Gotta get a red !!!

I seen Ricky in 2 of the 3 state's 😂😂 now that's dedication ❤❤❤ great video thanks brant ❤❤

All the species is a real task, big or small, think of how many sharks there are you need to wait hours for. Unless the length of the edited videos combined is 3 days in total. Cmon in 72 hours of video content you can do it!

@8:20 is that a nice size shark in the shadow?

This will be a dream trip for me someday and my first stop will be your store!

Next idea fishing every major Harbor and Bay in the State. Starting with the Most Beautiful of coarse Charlotte Harbor!

❤🎉

Thank you for this great video! I will be visiting next week. Did you buy your bait and rent your pole from the shop on Okaloosa pier?

Brandt Please Give “Fred” A Fish😊❤

According to deermeat and Landshark (Victor), the snakeheads are absolutely delicious to eat! South Florida chefs are preparing them as table fare. Not bad for a very invasive fish.

Love your videos man also if you ever keep minnows in a tank for bait make sure they don't breed I was cleaning the minnow tank today and found baby's XD at least I had a spare 1 gal XD

Wish I would have known. You could have stopped in Daytona beach area and we could have fished. We have some cool brackish water spots too 😎. Tomoka state park.

Was that a huge shark shadow at during the 8 min mark? Thanks Brandt.

I love your videos, what size toadfish rod & reel you use? I love my Toadfish combo 🎣

Knew Fred would make appearance early in the video!

Ever check out Mosquito Lagoon? Can't miss it man. Reddish and gator trout capital!

Are the Bluerunners good to eat? I have heard they are.

Nothin's bitin' as I pull 9 more fish in...

Brandt you passed up some of the best fishing from Panama City Beach to Apalachicola Florida....

I live close to pcb and I've been wanting to do this rd trip and fish my way down all the way to the keys

Hey Brant, noticed you wearing a pair of WaterLand sunglasses, been looking at getting some new shades and they're on my shortlist. Curious what you think of them, and if you have a code so if I pull the trigger you can get a referral out of it.

You should do a video on how to use google maps to find preferred fishing spots in your area. I use google maps to try to find areas that I think are good but most often don’t have success. I’m speaking only for land based opportunities.

Gators would get my float everyime i fished in brackish backwaters in Jacksonville

Great video. Can you add to each species if they are edible in a 1 to 10 scale from bad to delicious? Just curious ☺️

so what time of year was this thanks

I grew up in the keys

What rod and reel is this

Do you ever go to skyway bridge n pier to fish And sebations inlet pier to fish,,?

In Alaska five hours is taking you to the next city

Part 2!

Surprise you never fish tampa area

Okay I kind of have to correct you on this one sail cats which are a saltwater catfish getting very big. Be

I won't be satisfied without a Permit...

you could sell those Oscars to pet stores for good money. Oscars make good pets

I just started a fishing KZfaq channel and I live in your area and if you could give me any tips it would be really appreciated

Where do you find places where there’s no one around!?!?

asians like bullseye snakefish goood to eat

I hope your friend makes it out of rehab soon. Prayers that the devils lettuce will no longer be an issue for that person. 🙏

Hey guys...dude.... No one is with you brah! Btw, you missed hours and hours of fishing between where you left the Panhandle to SW FL.

Dude this is such fun family content. My boys and I love watching then try to do the same. Thanks Brant!
