FishingSoFlo

Bienvenido mi amigo. Deseo la mejor suerte para usted.

Welcome Aboard BrowardBassin954, I've been fishing down here in SoFlo since I got here from Chicago back in 2012. The first year or 2 I spent a lot of time fishing in Broward because I was living in Pompano. Spent many hours fishing at Tradewinds Park over by Butterfly World. Don't laugh, but I saw several 5+ bass come out of there. My biggest out of Tradewinds is 4.5. Hate those d**n snakeheads, though. I'm currently living in Delray Beach about 10 minutes from Lake Ida. Based on what I've seen online and on TV, Lake Ida would be worth your time exploring. I think you want to fish the canals that go under I-95 and head a little bit west. If you have a few extra bucks and you're interested in learning Lake Ida, I'd be willing to split the cost of a Lake Ida guide for one day. That will save you lots of time locating good spots. Let me know and if I don't hear back from you, good luck!

Welcome aboard! Ditto for me on the bait monkey thing. Good luck here on Bass Resource.

Welcome aboard, Don. We're almost neighbors as I live down the road from you in Delray Beach. Lots to learn here on Bass Resource.

BassResource is an excellent resource. There's so many videos online you can learn as many techniques as you want. I prefer finesse fishing over power fishing, but down here in Florida I'm definitely in the minority with finesse fishing. Regarding UglyStiks, I started that way, too. However, I am currently upgrading my rods from those UglyStiks to other mfrs. UglyStik is very durable, but not so sensitive. Try not to spend tooooooo much money, like I did. I'm a tackle junkie. Best of luck to you.

Hey MNBASS Guy, I'm in South Florida for 3 years now, but originally from ILLINOIS. I like Largemouth Bass, but man do I miss those Walleye. Don't ever take the walleye and the rest of the diverse fishery you have up there for granted. I can taste that walleye now. Anyway, good luck to you.
