HAs anyone been to Holiday Park lately? any lluck?

I ran into a fisherman while I was pea hunting in Coral Springs yesterday and he told me had done well at Holiday park recently.

The waters dropping but its still high, your better off out on the Alley right now, mile marker 41.

Iv fished those ditches for 40 years, rule of thumb is the alley first, then Holiday starts heating up as the water drops, with May and April being the peak months. 13 inch worms sunk at the cuts out at 3 Pines and hold on.

i also heard alley first, then center canal, miami canal, then 67. the water is was getting fairly low before last weeks rain.

i might be going to the finger canals tonight if i can. if i go i will report.

I was planning on going to alligator alley Friday.  I went out there about three weeks ago and did pretty well. I imagine the fishing is a little better out there now.  I'll give a report...

I fished the Fingers on Sunday. Caught about 20 up to 2.5#s. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. Flukes and senkos. I've heard from some other sources that the bite is picking up in the center and Miami canal. Water is dropping pretty fast

I've heard MM 41 is doing pretty good-good luck. With the water dropping I'm not sure you can go west from the Miami canal ramp at the Rest area

well only issue is i have tournament there so seeing if anyone has been there

I've got a Hewes flats boat that runs pretty skinny.  It's always a little dicey going through that first weir, though, when the water drops.

I didn't make it out yesterday...work plans changed.  Shooting for tomorrow morning, weather permitting.

I posted a report about MM41 a couple of weeks ago. The water was 3-4' deep through the weir running west on the north side canal.

On that day, the fishing was best on either side of the weir. The water was fairly clear. I ran all the way out to the flood control pump houses near the miccosokie gas station and the garfish were really thick and the water was muddy.

The big rest area east of MM41 has a very shallow weir to the west of the Miami canal. If you go there with a fibraglass boat, watch out for the submerged rocks.

Yeah, I usually put in at that rest station (I think about MM34?), then go thru the shallow weir a little bit west of the landing and fish the North canal. My Hewes runs in about 10" and I'm not clearing by much.

I have a question about MM41.  I've never been there. Looking at Google Maps the landing appears to be on the North side. How do you get coming back East when leaving?  Looking at the map, I don't see an overpass or turnaround.

To use the MM41 ramp(it is on the east bound side) you have to drive a few miles west of it and exit at the miccosokie gas station exit. Turn left and cross over the highway overpass to get to the east bound lanes. A lot of guys illegally do a u turn in front of the launch area, I would not advise it. The ramp/parking is good, but there are no facilities.I believe that ramp is the farthest west you can launch from before you get to indian land.

I went to the Alley today from 9:00-1:00 with my six year old daughter.  She caught 8 fish and I caught probably five times that. Had good action all day but mostly small, biggest maybe 2.5lbs.
