Wonderful Video Marty. So many of us forget to slow down and look at life's little wonders. i see many people running through life and are missing the important things. I see guys run around in high power boats , from spot to spot looking for "fish". when really if they would slow down and look they will seek what they are looking for. I once saw these two guys pull into dock in the latest Bass boat, they had about 20 fishing poles, boxes of lures, and sonar that would have made a sub captain happy. They had caught no fish,and were fighting about unloading the boat. At this time, two kids came in paddling a canoe, with a BIG stringer of fish. they had two poles total and a cup of worms. Sometimes less is more and slow is better. This week my wife lost her father, this reminded me to appreciate the little things for there is no guarantee to life. so yeah man, check out the little stuff. No snow yet in Jersey but we did get ice and rain on the boat cover and the yaks are in a deep winters nap. Doug
Thanks for this episode. It made me home sick for Tampa. I lived there when I was 8 years old. That was in 1962. subscriber in Ohio. I'm getting my first fishing kayak this spring. thanks to your inspiration. Maybe one day I'll return to Tampa to fish the flats again.
Nice tour Marty. I see that power plant all the way from St Pete when I get out to film sunrises from North Shore park. And there is a really nice palm tree arboretum in that same park you should check out next time you are over this way.

My wife and I were there this past winter.We went on the walk and saw all the manatees and also through the learning center.We didn't walk the long path to the lookout tower.This winter I hope to do the whole thing like you did.I love all your video's you put on here.I just got into kayaking a couple months ago and want to start kayaking the Tampa bay before long.I live in Winter Haven and use it in the lakes around my home so far.After New Year I hope to get to the Tampa Bay every now and then.Thanks for sharing your video's.
hey thanks for this episode. it made me home sick for Tampa. I lived there when I was 8 years old. That was in 1962. I'm getting my first fishing kayak this spring. thanks to your inspiration. Maybe one day I'll return to Tampa to fish the flats again. Good luck with your engine swaps. Pay special attention to the brake in period. Subscriber from Ohio.

nice video... cant wait for some more fishing from you. But the casual environmental videos really give you a new aspect to the world we live in. Great work Zoffinger.

I visited it today, first time in a few years and they have added much to it since I was there! There were many people there enjoying the great weather. I saw all the fish you spoke of and saw several Black Tipped Sharks swimming on the side of a few Manatee's. It was a beautiful day!
This video just wanted me to go fishing in florida. I live far in southeast asia but when i see your videos, i could feel how it's feel to go fishing in America. Always looking forward to your video because you're so humble and calm guy who love fishing, unlike the other channel where they brag any kind of fishes they catch arrogantly. Keep your line tight buddy :)
Great video! The viewing center is a great asset for us in the Tampa Bay area. I agree, we are very fortunate to be living here in Florida and surrounded by amazing nature :)
Everyone thinks that what comes out of those stacks is fumes from burning the coal but the actual fumes are ran through scrubbers first and are pretty clean anymore. Some stacks are dry system and those are wet. What your seeing there is actually just water vapors mixed in with the clear exhaust and aren't as harmful as everyone assumes. The short fat hour glass shaped cooling towers everyone sees emit only steam. The warm water coming out of the plant isn't from cooling the turbines, it's from cooling the high pressure steam that turns the turbine in a totally different area. American power plants get a bad wrap but we've made them pretty clean, especially compared to the plants in China, Mexico, and India.
Have taken my grand kids there and listened to many Ooows and Ahhs that day. An excellent site to visit and see some beautiful flora and fauna of Florida. Nice video Marty, it should be TECO's PSA for the viewing center.
Marty I work at that plant all the time. the manatees on site of the plant under the bridge from the parking lot are amazing. the plant in crystal river has just as many if not more manatees.
Great Video Zoff!!! One of the nicest viewing experiences I've had on youtube. You've given me yet another spot to add to my Florida "Must Visit" List! Thank You.
Hey Marty, nice tour. Always love your trips into the wild places. My hubby and I enjoy your videos on weekend mornings with a cup of coffee. While we live in upper Michigan's Les Cheneaux Islands, our favorite Florida destination is Sanibel Island just south of you off Fort Myers. We highly recommend the Ding Darling Sanctuary there. Several kayak launch sites and trail systems make for many exciting fishing and wildlife opportunities.
If you want to catch those Jacks and Tarpon in the winter take your kayak to the outside of the manatee viewing center early in the morning when the sun is rising. Great topwater action with huge jack crevalle with just about every cast. We have also caught Tarpon and blacktip sharks there, and lost some big cobia. We've noticed the fishing tends to cool down around 9:00am so it is vital to fish it early.
Man I love your videos you are such a good guy keep up the good work we all love your videos never let anyone bring you down at what you do because you are amazing at what you do
One of the best fishing spots in the bay, before 9/11 whenever they closed all access near the plant. You used to be able to walk right under the coal cherry picker and fish there, what a wonderful spot to fish back in the day.
You need to go back there and film the sharks jumping. It is the most amazing wildlife spectacle I have seen in person. They were going off like crazy yesterday morning. You might have luck if you go today. They open at 10. Trust me, you could make such an incredible video of this. There were at least a dozen different animals, some huge, some smaller. Some get completely out of the water and twirl 1080 degrees. Attach a couple cameras to the posts along the walkway for different angles and edit out the jumps. The plant in the background is such a dramatic scene. You would go viral with this one if done properly.
nice video. I've lived in tampa my whole life and never went here, and after seeing this i'm gonna have to go. I think my kids would really enjoy it. I didnt know it was free also thats pretty cool.
there are tons of manatees in my canal and they are making a huge racket as they are mating but regardless having 10 manatees 50 feet from your dock is really cool and I love it
Awesome, wish I could fish there... those jacks... haha I have a question for you Marty, can you tell me any good spot here in Central Florida to catch jacks, or tarpon? thanks and tight lines!
Nice video! I watch every video you put up now. I love fishing and only get to freshwater fish a bit and saltwater every so often. I just ordered my first GoPro and might document some freshwater fishing since I live in Orlando. I just put up my first video but it is of my kids freaking out about a Christmas present. Can I ask what editing software do you use? I like the time lapse added into the videos.
Marty I'm coming to Tampa Bay next weekend. Going to take my boys out on the yaks they got for Christmas. We will put out where you catch the mangrove crabs for bait off 41 on Saturday morning. Hope we see you. The boys would love meeting the guy they watch on t.v.
Love your videos. It's the highlight of my subscriptions. Do you have any plans to do kayak charters? I live about 4 hours away would love to get together and catch some snook!
have you ever tried palm cabbage “swamp cabbage” I highly recommend it! I live about 30 minutes north of tampa and I recently got to finally try it. Love your videos btw :D tight lines!!
If only they made a catch and release pier. Great video bro . You should fish on the outside of the area and maybe hook up on some baby tarpon and jacks !!
Hey marty you should check out this place called robbies you get to hand feed giant tarpon, its an experience like no other, its far from tampa unfortunately its located in islamorada down by the keys
Hi Marty, if you don't mind I have two questions for you. Why did you move from NY to Fla? How long did it take you to get used to the heat or have you gotten used to it? Nice, peaceful video.
Hey Buddy.....big fan here. I have seen almost every vid you posted. I have a question for you.....do you bleed out your catch? I have never seen you post anything about it. Im here in Melbourne on the sunrise side and fishing alot in Sebastian lately. Im new to saltwater and unsure of how to properly handle my catch.
Florida is a beautiful place. Proud to call it home.
+Kronesian I agree 100%!

Wow! What a great place to visit. Another wonderful video. Thanks!
Love your videos! I grew up just south of there and love going back with my kids to watch the manatees.

My dad use to worked at the power plant near Crystal River/Yankeetown, I miss fishing that place. Interesting video, thanks for sharing.. =]
Sweet video Marty. Never seen a manatee in person. I would like to some day!

I have only been there once and it was quite unique. I do live in the Tampa Bay Area. I need to go back out and check it.
I miss St Pete so bad!! I loved kayaking in the intercoastal waterways!
Marty I really enjoy your outlook on life and your at ease style, keep up the excellent work.
Very good voice skills. Whoever did the sound, knows what they are doing.
I live in FL about 30 minutes below Ocala. Nice thanks!
Nicely done. Enjoyed the trip

Hey Marty 'm a big fan of you. I've seen all your videos. Dude you're amazing
Greetings from El Salvador, CA
Pensacola, FL has a power plant like that called Plant Christ that uses the same process. I sure wish we'd get us a neat sanctuary.
where was all that when I lived down there. I lived in st.pete. from 84 till o4-5
Have you ever gone down to tarpon springs, FL? That's where I go fishing at on a big tunnel haul shark fishing and mackerel were great down there.
Great video. Feel free anytime to show us around where you live. I really enjoyed that.
ya that place is supper awesome go there alot and I also found out the we both go fishing at the same area!!!
Nice video Marty. Any updates on your boat?
Love your videos Marty 🙂
Thanks Marty. It made me home sick for Tampa. Ohio subscriber.
Wow great video those fish were huge, I think you would have a career in the tour guide business!

Darn...was down by you last week, wish I would have known about this place.

there are tons of manatees in my canal and they are making a huge racket as they are mating but regardless having 10 manatees 50 feet from your dock is really cool and I love it

Awesome, wish I could fish there... those jacks... haha
I have a question for you Marty, can you tell me any good spot here in Central Florida to catch jacks, or tarpon?
thanks and tight lines!
Marty Love this video! Keep up the good work! Tight lines for you!
how u get all those cool shots
Nice video! I watch every video you put up now. I love fishing and only get to freshwater fish a bit and saltwater every so often.

Marty is the best you made my day Bro.

Great video Marty
my friend works there and fishing there all the time
Loved the vid mate.A bit damp over here !
Marty your skill is amazing
The Manatees resemble the Dugongs we have in Northern Queensland, Australia.
If only they made a catch and release pier. Great video bro . You should fish on the outside of the area and maybe hook up on some baby tarpon and jacks !!
Thanks Marty, I enjoyed the video.
hey Marty, why did you choose a motor boat over a sail boat? thanks bro.
Do you have to pay to enter because I live a few miles next to the plant and we never been down the road that leads to the plant
There is no cost. It's free :)
Makes you wonder how many fish were off shore 1000 years ago
Hey marty you should check out this place called robbies you get to hand feed giant tarpon, its an experience like no other, its far from tampa unfortunately its located in islamorada down by the keys
I'm going to Tampa on Wednesday for the Tennessee Vols bowl game it would be cool to run in to you .
+old hamm ...... Go Vols!
+ZubackVision I'll cheer them on for ya !
Hi Marty, if you don't mind I have two questions for you. Why did you move from NY to Fla? How long did it take you to get used to the heat or have you gotten used to it? Nice, peaceful video.
I like the video. although no fishing, I appreciate the organic roots type of thesis. I'll be watchin..... no more plugs though really.
