Kayak fishing Loxahatchee River

Featured Replies

Anyone ever fished the Loxahatchee River, actually the "riverbend" area just south of the canoe outpost. I've fished there once last summer, caught one and had a couple of other hits. But getting ready to go again and their website says you can catch "lunker" bass in one of the lakes. Lunker, their words not mine...here is the quote:

Paddling a short distance into the marsh is West Lake. Watch for Bald Eagles as several pair live here. This is a great place to fish for lunker bass.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I used to fish there plenty when i had a yak. Go early before the gates open and the people arrive. I caught fish both heading up current and down current from the launch.

I had good luck with small top waters and smaller worms. Later in the day fish the sharp bends where the water is the deepest. any place where the current makes a 90 degree turn is good. Throw a little straight tail worm right against the cypress trees in those bends. There are also spots where you can get out and bank fish. Once you get past the second dam then you can catch snook too. So i used to switch to something that appealed to them and bass. A rapala or topwater.

I had a couple days where i caught 15-20 and caught a 6 lb fish right before the first dam on a small plastic frog.

Good luck.
