Fishing Disney World's Private Waters

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]Today we're fishing inside of Disney World on a lake right in front of the Magic Kingdom.

[00:00:06]>> It was really good looking.

[00:00:08]>> We've been coming here for years and every time I look out at these lakes, I ask myself, man, there's got to be some good fishing in there.

[00:00:16]>> Dad, if there's another bass full of them up.

[00:00:18]>> So, today we finally got access and we're putting it to the test.

[00:00:24]>> Oh, just little kiss.

[00:00:27]>> We gave ourselves a challenge. We've got 2 hours to catch 20 fish. Let's see if we can pull it off.

[00:00:44]>> So, what's the name of this lake? Bay Lake.

[00:00:46]>> This is Bay and has seven seas.

[00:00:49]>> Is this a man-made lake?

[00:00:51]>> This is a natural one. That's the That's the main >> Okay.

[00:00:54]>> Yeah. So this lake here um has three holes in it over uh 26 ft.

[00:01:01]Seven seas is probably you know 5 to 16 ft that one and the two legs combined are 593 acres. Wow.

[00:01:11]>> Is this a stocked leg? Don't need to >> for catch and release.

[00:01:15]>> Yeah. So we're here on location number one at Bay Lake right here at Magic Kingdom and we have a couple very popular hotels. is the Montreal system right over there, Space Mountain. And at night, that's where all the fireworks go off. Now, this is only a 2hour fishing tour that you can uh book here at Disney. And surprisingly, it wasn't too expensive. It's $275.

[00:01:37]They supply all the rods, the reels, the shiners, and you can fish artificial if you want. But we're going to hit this first location for probably like 30 to 40 minutes, and he's going to take us to another location, maybe a few different locations. And the fun part about it is you get to fish, but you also get a little bit of a tour. This gentleman here has been working with Disney for almost 30 years. So, lots of knowledge if this is something that you're into added with a little bit of fishing. Now, a few goals for us today is my wife has never caught a fish and my brother-in-law is on the boat with us.

[00:02:07]He's never caught a fish. So, we're hoping we can get him hooked up and maybe Slater and Morgan can get their first fish as well.

[00:02:15]>> Mhm.

[00:02:16]>> Have your rod tip down. Okay.

[00:02:18]>> Mhm. Once you see that loop start taking off, by the time it takes off and gets to that rod tip, that's when you pop it, right? There you go.

[00:02:29]>> You almost sleeping there about that.

[00:02:32]>> I Yeah, I was I didn't know if it was just the shiners swimming or the shiner was still in his mouth and just broke with them.

[00:02:41]>> No, no, no. I'll do all that.

[00:02:42]>> Okay.

[00:02:43]>> You don't have glasses on if that hook comes out.

[00:02:45]>> Yeah. And you still got your shiner.

[00:02:49]Good >> job.

[00:02:53]Oh, he's already got one. It's your first fish.

[00:02:57]Doesn't count. He casted it out. You got to cast it. Trigger it. Set it. Oh, look at that skinny belly.

[00:03:09]>> Going after.

[00:03:12]>> Keep reeling. That's a little one. He's got to hold it. He's got to lip it. Your first one you have to kiss it, too. Hold it up. Oh, he's a Florida man now. All right. You just drop them in.

[00:03:26]>> Feel anything?

[00:03:26]>> Oh, that's yours. Yeah.

[00:03:28]>> Yeah.

[00:03:30]>> Bite him.

[00:03:31]>> No, there's I still see him. He's on.

[00:03:33]>> Yeah, he's on there.

[00:03:34]>> Oh, that's good. He came up and smacked it. Okay, that's a much better fish than than your last one.

[00:03:41]>> Oh, he could only go up from that last one.

[00:03:45]There you go. I'm right there.

[00:03:47]>> Nice.

[00:03:50]>> Do my job. I got the rough uh office view.

[00:03:58]>> Got one.

[00:03:59]>> Yeah. Don't go under one.

[00:04:06]Nice.

[00:04:12]All right. Okay, so the score is Xander's got two, right?

[00:04:17]>> Three. Nice.

[00:04:19]>> He came off.

[00:04:25]>> Oh.

[00:04:28]>> Oh no. That was a good one, too.

[00:04:51]Thank you so much for watching and let's get back into it.

[00:04:56]So, what's under us? Grass. Is this a grassy flat area or how deep?

[00:05:01]>> It's not very flat.

[00:05:02]>> Like 12t. So, we got hydrillaa, uh, tape grass or yield grass, however people want to call it. Shrimp grass.

[00:05:11]>> Oh, there we go.

[00:05:12]>> Oh, >> I watched him hit it, too. He was right there. Take it again, buddy.

[00:05:21]>> I'm I'm hit.

[00:05:23]>> Oh. Oh, he ripped off. You got one.

[00:05:26]>> No. Oh my god, >> dude. I saw him dragging through the water and everything.

[00:05:33]Oh, he took it. I saw him hit it on the top.

[00:05:36]>> He did.

[00:05:37]>> Oh, like he was like he was floated on the top and he swooped up and hit it.

[00:05:44]>> Oh, look at him jumping. Nice. I think that's probably the biggest one so far.

[00:05:49]Oh, that's a good one, dude. Open up that mouth. There you go. Nice fish.

[00:05:54]>> The one you're looking at right here.

[00:06:00]>> Here we go. Here we go. Finally.

[00:06:01]Finally. Not. He does not feel big at all. Little guy. My first one. Not horrible. Good looking fish. Thank you, buddy.

[00:06:14]>> Oh, baby.

[00:06:15]>> That's a really good one, Xander. Hold that up.

[00:06:23]>> So, we know we got bass. What other types of fish do we got out here?

[00:06:26]crappie, bluegill, tilapia, Florida gar, bow, fin, catfish, >> occasional turtle or bird.

[00:06:35]>> Okay, there you go.

[00:06:36]>> The sign up by the dock says bass, bluegill, catfish, and sunfish. And I knew there was more than that out here.

[00:06:43]So, I knew there had to be gar and other things. I've looked at this lake from the Montreal so many times and just thought to myself, wonder if there's any big ones out there. And today, we're finding out.

[00:06:55]I was going for big dad.

[00:06:58]>> I hooked up.

[00:07:02]>> Got one.

[00:07:03]>> Dad.

[00:07:04]>> Dad. Oh, there's another bass following them up.

[00:07:07]>> Yeah.

[00:07:08]>> Yeah. He was like chasing him. The shiner's still in his mouth.

[00:07:11]>> Yeah. So, they got chasers because those chasers go after the shiner that's hanging out of the mouth.

[00:07:16]>> Mhm.

[00:07:19]>> Uh-oh.

[00:07:20]>> What was that?

[00:07:21]>> Like, what would you do to get that hook out?

[00:07:23]Push and pull.

[00:07:26]Then there's one. I'm going to show you a little trick. Yeah. Oh, through the gill.

[00:07:30]>> The second one on the gill.

[00:07:32]>> Okay.

[00:07:32]>> Push down and roll and pop. Okay.

[00:07:37]>> Okay.

[00:07:37]>> And then it comes right out.

[00:07:38]>> Okay.

[00:07:39]>> Now he's not bleeding or anything. See?

[00:07:41]>> Okay. Wow. Nice.

[00:07:42]>> And get your hook. There you go. But make sure you want to go through the second or third gill because of the >> Yeah.

[00:07:50]>> the riffles on the first set.

[00:07:52]>> Yeah. That one's got a big belly on, huh?

[00:07:56]>> He's hungry.

[00:07:58]Nice, buddy.

[00:08:08]>> Got one. No. No.

[00:08:10]>> So, as he's bringing this in, what was the biggest you've seen out here yourself?

[00:08:14]>> I've seen 88.

[00:08:15]>> 88. That's a big one. But the lake record is what?

[00:08:19]>> 10. There's probably a lot of guys claiming records.

[00:08:22]>> That's a good looking fish.

[00:08:23]>> Yeah, >> there's like 1045.

[00:08:26]>> Dude, that's a good one. That's a beautiful one. Nice job, buddy.

[00:08:38]>> Oh, one took him as as I was bringing him in.

[00:08:42]>> Okay.

[00:08:44]>> Good morning, man.

[00:08:45]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:08:47]>> Oh, double header. Double header.

[00:08:49]Double.

[00:08:50]>> Come on. I need a triple. Triple header.

[00:08:54]>> Yeah, I've only got one.

[00:08:56]There he is. Big boy.

[00:09:00]>> Pretty color.

[00:09:02]>> Side fin. Look, you got Nemo.

[00:09:07]>> Missing his side fin. Wow. It's got a fat little belly on it.

[00:09:12]>> Yeah, >> he's been eating. All right. Do I have one?

[00:09:16]>> No, that was just the fish swimming.

[00:09:21]There we go. Finally. Finally. Finally.

[00:09:24]Finally. And I lost it. All right. Just wrapped up at spot number one. Xander's definitely beating beating us. I only got one fish. My brother-in-law Ryland maybe got three. Xander, how many fish you get?

[00:09:35]>> Five.

[00:09:36]>> He got about five. He did really, really good. So, I know I've only gotten one, but I'm just enjoying being out here. It was supposed to get a lot of rain. It rained a little bit at the beginning, but it's beautiful. But I may have said earlier, for years, for years I've been looking at all these lakes at Disney and coming here and I'm always thinking, if you're a fisherman, you're thinking, I wonder if there's any big ones in there.

[00:09:56]Biggest today is probably two and a half so far, but we'll see. I think we're going to get a bigger one. Let's go. So, Slater's been getting up pretty early in the mornings, and I actually took him out this morning. He actually touched his first bass this morning. He was pretty excited, too. Did you see the video? I'll I'll put it up on here. I'll show you, Sander.

[00:10:12]>> Now, we're on Seven Seas Lake. We just left Bay Lake and that the ferry boats go across to take you to Magic Kingdom.

[00:10:24]>> So, you're saying cast out?

[00:10:26]>> Yeah.

[00:10:28]>> You need another shiner?

[00:10:29]>> Yeah.

[00:10:31]>> Yeah. There you go. Oh, you got to catch him. I make you do a little work.

[00:10:37]>> I didn't mean to drop him. Sorry. No, I dropped him. Oh. Oh, the poor guy. I just went through his eyeball. Whoops.

[00:10:45]>> Sorry, buddy. But hopefully you're gone soon. So, >> Oh, we're on.

[00:10:53]>> Oh, wow.

[00:10:54]>> I >> That's one.

[00:11:01]Come on.

[00:11:02]>> He was hooked pretty bad.

[00:11:03]>> Oh, he's barely hooked.

[00:11:07]You guys did mess with it last slipper. You probably slid it back through.

[00:11:13]>> Yeah, I know. There you go.

[00:11:16]>> Yeah. Let's go.

[00:11:18]>> Here. I'm going to go ahead. Xander, you go first.

[00:11:23]>> You want to talk?

[00:11:25]>> Here you go.

[00:11:27]>> Okay.

[00:11:27]>> Okay. So, keep it down.

[00:11:29]>> Oh, I'm not going to cast it.

[00:11:30]>> No, I already did. Okay.

[00:11:31]>> Sorry. You can do do it again.

[00:11:33]>> You got again, >> man. So you Well, do you see your line in the water? Oh, you don't see crappie in >> Do you ever catch crappie on the shiners?

[00:11:45]>> Crappie on shiners.

[00:11:46]>> Really?

[00:11:47]>> Biggest crappie I've seen out of the lake is about >> Oh, really?

[00:11:50]>> about 2 and 12 lbs.

[00:11:52]>> That's a little guy, dude. Nice. No. All right, S. You got to help mom out here.

[00:16:00]>> But it's been good. Xander's got about eight or nine. I'm still stuck at two and uh Morgan got her fish. First one ever. We tried to get her to kiss it, but she just wasn't interested in it. On to location number three. This may be our last one. I'm pleased with the quantity of fish we're getting. Not so much the size. We're looking for a bigger one. I think 2 and 1/2 is the biggest right now. So, if we can land a a five a 5 pounder, oh man, we'd be so stoked for that. But this may be our last stop. We got a lot of rain. Look at this storm on the horizon. So, wish us luck.

[00:16:36]Space Mountain entrance to Magic Kingdom.

[00:16:43]>> All right, so we're here at location number three and it's the deepest spot of the day. We're at 15 ft right now.

[00:19:40]No.

[00:19:42]>> Big Bera. This is the biggest shiner we've pulled out of the bucket today.

[00:19:50]That's a big one. I'm going to be ready for this one.

[00:19:56]Okay. Either that or just the shiner one in the grass or I don't know. Yeah, you're good.

[00:20:04]Oh, it's a pretty good one. Pretty good one. Did he? Man, he broke off. Took the hook with him, man. Who tied that hook?

[00:20:30]>> I'm a pro.

[00:20:31]>> You've seen enough photos from us.

[00:20:35]Nice job. So, we go out on headwaters.

[00:20:38]We use we view shiners and they're usually about the size of that big bertha. All of them >> big. And so, >> those are wilds cuz they got the orange fins.

[00:20:47]>> I think I don't know actually.

[00:20:49]>> Orangeish red fins. They'll be wilder.

[00:20:51]Okay. So, big.

[00:20:52]>> Oh, I think we got one. Little guy.

[00:20:56]Little guy. That's the smallest one of the day probably. Thank you, buddy.

[00:21:01]>> Love to see you another day.

[00:21:03]Only a few more minutes left. We'll see who can get the last one. Xander's definitely outfished everybody. He's done good.

[00:21:08]>> Yeah, I haven't caught one in a while.

[00:21:10]>> He hasn't caught one in a minute, though. I'm ending strong, but we'll see who can get this last one here.

[00:21:14]>> Oh, come on.

[00:21:16]>> Oh, and as I'm saying that, he catches one.

[00:21:19]>> Hold on. Either it's a fish or I'm like snagged. Okay. Yeah, he he was in grass.

[00:21:24]>> Oh, man.

[00:21:25]>> If that was a fish, that 20 lb.

[00:21:28]>> Get him again. We'll go over here.

[00:21:32]Come on, fish.

[00:21:34]There we go. There we go. There we go.

[00:21:37]NO, MAN. Can I throw one more on?

[00:21:45]>> Got one.

[00:21:46]>> Got him.

[00:21:48]>> Yeah.

[00:21:48]>> Oh, baby.

[00:21:50]>> This right here may be the last one of the of the trip. Hopefully not, though.

[00:21:53]Oh, not too bad. Not a monster, but definitely not a dink. Good job, buddy.

[00:21:58]Nice.

[00:21:58]>> Nice one. Little Mickey Mouse fish. Good job, dude.

[00:22:02]>> This should probably eat a mouse.

[00:22:04]>> Is it pretty ironic that I'm fishing with live bait while wearing a hat that's no live bait needed?

[00:22:21]>> Well, that wraps up our Disney fishing trip. I don't know how many we caught, but we'll put the the final numbers up here. Xander did a great job. How was it, buddy? It was fun. I probably maybe caught about 10 or nine.

[00:22:31]>> Morgan caught your first fish.

[00:22:33]>> Yeah, two.

[00:22:34]>> Okay, Slater.

[00:22:37]Well, Slater cried the whole time.

[00:22:39]What's the matter, bud? We had absolute great time. I highly recommend it. If you're into fishing, if you like these Disney resorts, look into booking one of their fishing guided expeditions and you'll really enjoy it.
