Topwater Fishing the Hillsborough River in Downtown Tampa 

This girl has spent quality time with dad likely not much drama with her well done pop

Your garden is legit!! I flippin love it!!

What a great way to start the weekend EL posted another great adventure ❤

Congratulations on that snook, great sized and sorry about the shark, but more importantly, you still have all your digits 🤗. Love seeing your garden, soooo many carrots and once your trellis is covered from the squash, it’ll look anazing! Thank you for sharing Erica, I always enjoy your videos 😃

Hey Erica...you garden looks beautiful and as far as that shark (it was big!!!)...maybe it was a good thing it broke your line...looking forward to your next trip.

Nice seeing you back out there , pleasure to watch thank you very much . Bryan Tennessee

You got me all pumped up for fishing, and I just bought my daughter a new rod, and she was so excited. I can't wait for myself. Be safe out there and have fun.

So happy you liked the rods. You are an absolute hammer on the water!

Never seen or heard of you till now just now guess the YT algorithm has finally got around to pushing your vids 👍 enjoyable fishing vid thank you for not making me feel like a deviate in the girls locker room by not wearing a crack cleaner just plain ole everyday shorts! ✌️🤙

Awesome! The yard and garden are really coming along.

Garden looks awesome! You did a great job!

Super cool video Erica. That shark looked fun to mess with. It’s also cool that you showed us the garden. All great vegis, keep the videos coming.

That is an amazing garden!

Thank you for posting!!! We live you Erica! ❤🔥💯💯💯

Very excited Erica to see spaghetti squash on the trellis and looks like another raging crop of cucumbers as well. Potatoes have the most beautiful flowers, ground squirrels here totally wiped mine out.

Nic video Erica, shark looked about 5 feet long or so, great garden also, cheers to you and your husband.

I am actually watching your videos from an out camping in Inverness so this is awesome. I’m getting such good ideas. I’ve never fished here so it’s gonna be an adventure you’re always inspiring.✌️❤️😃

Garden is looking great! I gotta get on the ball.

My wife will be jealous of y'all's garden and chickens! Looked like a school of mullet at the beginning of the trip... We'll look for y'all out in the Bay! Stay safe!

It was fun to watch again. Greetings from the Netherlands

Thank you I love fishing. I eat lots of veggies being good to myself after a heartache. If I was 35 years younger I would be in love with you too 😮. Im in MN going up north get the boat in the lift. Get the cabin ready for another year. Take care stay safe love your videos. Miss fishing FL. ❤

Parabéns Érica Bela pescaria sem esquecer que é ótimo ter você de volta fazendo vídeos maravilhosos obrigada.

Erica is florida fisher lady we needed!!

I was on the river today too, I’m pretty sure I figured out where you were at based on the channelside towers. I’ll def check it out over there, I have a good red spot over by shipping containers on the shoreline of by 41. Thanks for sharing :)

Potatoes seemed like such a great idea until about half way through the season and I realized how much effort I was putting into growing something that costs like $5 to buy a 10 pound sack. It was a 1 season adventure for me.

First time here. The way you played that snook let me know you really know what you're doing. No fake fishergirl here folks. Subscribed.

No matter how many years we have under our belt, we all still make rookie mistakes now and then. Still fun reelin' em in though! I used to use large hanging planters for my strawberries.

Nice video! I love all the not so famous fishy spots in and around the bay.

Your videos are the best , can’t say if it’s your skill or your amazing good looks and personality that Makes me keep watching

Your videos are great, PLEASE carry never know whos out there on the water.

LEFTY.. nice work!!

A very nice and healthy garden.

You're casting's very impressive. Good job, takes some skills and serious practice to be able to do that!!🎣🎣🐟💪

Beautiful garden Erica! Have a great weekend. Safe travels.

Garden looks great

Awesome as always!

Shout out from Ruskin!!

Great garden

awesome way to go on the snook

Did trellis is a great idea. I grew tomatoes on a trellis it worked out fantastic. Each plant was over 8 ft long & 4 ft wide. I use the Big Beef tomatoe seeds. Massachusetts

Cool garden!!!

Impressive garden 🏡

Awesome video as always..

Can not believe you caught a 🦈 that was awesome!!:)

Dam gurl ben missn ya! ❤ tht dam boat and garden jammin! Yaw dun gud 💪🏻🔥

The boat is a beauty

🦈 that shark was an awesome catch and a good one at that too. Sorry that the shark did get away like that. Still a great fishing video

Hey Erica , I use to fish the Hillsborough River when I lived in Tampa Palms for large mouth bass & gar when I was with the NY Yankees . Beautiful river 👍😘get the net 🎣

Hello from Columbus Ohio

Nice snook. Awesome video

Love it all ❤❤ great vid kid.

very nice , great video my friend

Nice video… I have fished many of these same places .. downtown/Hillsborough River can be hit or miss at times but I have hooked a bull shark on top water on the exact same sandbar where you hooked yours..I have fished the area where you caught the snook many times and even with live pilchards but never had any luck in that area

I have caught many river jacks right where you are. Down by Ricks on the River as well.

Erica, your killin it, I wish I could be there. I just love your super expensive, extravagant anchoring pole! $1,999 vs a $20-$30 pole and rope. An old salt learns a new trick every day! Keep bringing it baby. Caio girl!

Can't catch them all! It wouldn't be called fishing if it was! Great day out on the water regardless!! Stay positive!

Do your thing pretty lady. Hopefully you can come to Taylor Creek in Fort Pierce this summer and some monster snook, Jack and red fish.

Should give the Braden river a shot sometime. I live on this river about an hour south of you. Wife and I caught 4 Redfish....4 Snook....2 ladyfish (who cares) in roughly two hours time yesterday. See dolphins several times a week. Had a large sting ray swim past the boat just to do a uturn and come pace the trolling motor right next to the boat for a good 10 minutes. Sat and fished around a half dozen manatees last week. Few gators from time to time. Otters seldom but once in a while. Woke up to first time ever seeing Green parrots in my trees. All in my backyard...absolutely love this river. Give it a shot if you happen to find the time. Short drive. Either way, great video.

That’s a cool boat.

My dad was stationed at McDill AFB in the late 1960s. I loved Tampa. We used to camp and fish at a place called Twin Lakes, I'm not sure if it is still there, I think it was drained by a sink hole. I caught my first bass on a red and white Lazy Ike there. I'm from north central Arkansas.

I primarily fish the freshwater side of the river, like far up as one can go. Been meaning to get to that side.

At 10:30 I started grinning. The bite, the fight, the shriek of the reel. An adrenaline rush like a roller coaster ride. The moment you tried to lift the fish into the boat, I almost died. It's lucky that "only" the fishing line broke. How does it feel to be bitten by an angry shark? I have no idea, but I'm not really keen on finding out. Have a nice day or night today. take care stay safe

The equipment is matched perfect for the size of fish. It shows great sportsmanship. My personal preference grip for a rod that SIZE would be in wood. As I’m wrestling with the fish my hand tends get a little clammy and Seeps better o the handle. I getter a better grip on the grip. 🤓👍 Way too cool! 😎

When you tried to grab the shark, I thought no way you''ll hold that sucker with one hand lol

Have fun, at least once a day

I like that you say rookie move to yourself. Been there many times.

I'm so glad you didn't get bit. Please get a gaff.

I love your videos, would so love to see you and darcizzle make a fishing video together

when i was 15 i hooked in to black tip down in the keys he took me clost to a hr to land it was still sprightly when i brought it in the boat ... that was the last time i let one on the boat that thing was like the energizer bunny .

Great video, love the garden/chickens? Was that a bull shark?

Stick figure music is legit Boat music! We do the same!

Great video you don’t have to blow up the location tho this is how make pressured fisheries

Hello really nice fishes, great video. How you do to film yourself like that alone ? That's really well done !

Chillist wife ever, E u still the best from ur old FL crew

I really like Erica’s boat. What the heck is it? It looks perfect for the Mayakka River and surrounding area

The broccoli seg was great.Instead of great tasting chicken eating crap they eat no 1 cancer fighter broccoli.

It's funny how a lot of people comment on her looks but really they're just jealous she has more knowledge and can out fish them 100% of the time 😂

Awesome video new subscriber

Go get some of them big mangro snapper out there

Erica what's your thoughts on that rod. Is it worth the money? I have the Legend and was thinking about picking one of these up. Thanks

You're behind my house by Lowry Park. ❤❤😊

Let’s go Erika I need a fishing 🎣 friend

The guys all want to come out and see the pretty young blonde fisherman …

Yep. I’m in love….

Love you ❤❤❤🐟💖

What good spots you fish at on Hillsborough river? I fish there a lot and don't have any good luck. Is this close to downtown where you caught the snook

Moving back to Florida in a couple months and due to the cost of literally everything My wife and I are wanting to start a garden. Would love some tips for growing veggies in the florida area! We are moving to tampa bay/Bradenton area.

i saw you on Facebook

Darcizzle 2.0!

Nice first snook in my original fishing spot! Soooo many snook and big ass bass in and around the Rowlette park to Lowry park area when its just getting warmed up!

WISH MY BLAZER 27 COULD FIT THEM TIGHT SPOTS JUST TO BIG W/ THAT 425 ON IT ... WELL BACK TO THE ISLAND

where did you find those corner blocks for the raised bed planters? Thanks for sharing

What kind of knot do they technically call that,, nice made rods from Wisconsin

What are the spike looking things on the bow of your boat?

This video popped up and I immediately said to myself "this mf prolly got an OF". All of this is strategic lol

kinda weird fishing in between lake houses....I'm used to the ocean 🌊 ...oh well...

How the boat ramp at Lowry Park haven't been able since they've rebuilt it

I'm so sure everyones watching these videos for your fishing skills and not your cheeks🤣

Great snook. 😊

Bonjour de FRANCE 🤟🤟🤟
