I wish I could fish those ponds unfortunately I have to do most my fishing in local canals. Everglades probably the best place to go but I have to be in the mood to drive over there.

Dang G, we should go fishing sometime lol

I personally use a 7 foot ML st croix avid rod with a penn battle 2000 and 8lb test so I can get good fights. I think the pros use heavier stuff because they are trying not to lose any fish but for me I love lite tackle.

So I thought I would share that I went with a buddy fishing today and we caught four peacock bass. The thing is he’s really big on using live shiners and obviously they are the best way to catch fish but honestly I felt like I didn’t have as much fun as I do running lures even if I don’t catch a thing. To me something about the constant action and the random hit the gets you going. Anyone else feel this way?

Hello fellow fishermen/women. I was wondering what’s your go to lures in the hot summer? I’m in Miami Florida and most canal fish and the water is usually on the darker side but I usually use the rapala shad rap for largemouth and peacock.

Yeah they are super aggressive and non native so it kinda sucks they have taken over but at the same time they are really fun to fish. Lol

I’ve been fishing solo a lot lately in the canals of west Kendall due to Covid for something to do. In the best I’ve had a lot of luck using rapala shad raps. For a couple weeks now I haven’t caught a fish and I’m starting to wonder if I’m using the wrong lure or I’m a fishing in the wrong canals. Is there anyone currently having a lot of success in an area using a specific type of lure? I appreciate the insight.
