Hello ladies and gentlemen its been a while unfortunately due to circumstances in my life out of my control I havent been able too fish for over a year.Now things have calmed down and Iam heading out  this weekend with a buddy and we are gonna fish Lake Ida in Fl I havent been on the Lake in over a year!If any locals can give some advice on whats the fish are doing on that lake I would reallly appreciate it.BTW this isnt something Iam going to be posting I just need a kick start lol I plan on being out every weekend.Thanks again!Glad to be back man I missed fishing.....

Welcome back.

Let us know how you do.

Sorry, I have no idea about Lake Ida.

No problem,definately let you know how it went, really looking forward to it,going with a buddy I havent seen since high school should be alot of fun maybe even catch a fish.....LOL

I went to lake Ida 2 weeks ago with another BR member. He showed me a killer bait for peacock bass.

Use a white/silver blade spinner and cast out into the deep water at the intersection of the canal that runs west from the boat launch.

There is a sand bar there. Cast along parallel with the drop off.

He caught 2 peacock and lost a much bigger one at the boat.

Hope it helps. Good luck

I've caught fish from shore in that general area, top lure has been my best bet.

There is another boat launch on the other side of the lake.

Thanks Sirsnookalot cool name btw and Glades for tips I will try both of them and let you know how i did
