thats just it.. not too sure where to go and what is allowed. i have no problem with an electric only lake but not too sure whats in my area.

i have searched for a topic on this and found nothing. so i am stuck with bing maps or google maps and just looking around, trying to see a ramp, then i would know it is ok to fish there for sure.

The picture is of a Bowfin, Grinnel, Mudfish - your choice as to what you want to call it.

here are a couple of options for you.

One is the ramp into the Hillsboro canal that is just west of Powerline road. Look on Google. There is a park in the neighborhood off of NW 6th Street. The water is low so be careful when launching. If you can, head west and fish the stretch from Lyons road to 441. Bass are in the shade or hanging on the deep side of the grass line.

Another option for a very small boat is the put in along Boca Rio Road between Glades and Palmetto. This assumes you can pick up your boat and don't need a ramp.

Good luck

THANKS!!!!!!

whats you guys thoughts on Lake Ida and the surrounding canals?

Lake Ida is a good spot. Fish the bank edges and boat docks with worms, xrap crank baits and frogs. If you have a depth finder, fish the humps and deep spots in the middle of the lake with 12" worms and rattle traps. I have caught peacock bass(a few years ago)in there with white spinners as well.

There is a nice lake and canal system at the west end of Wiles road in Coral springs. No ramp, lug it over the guard rail.

There is also a fishy looking small lake behind the Coral Springs hospital. No ramp there either, launch from the west side. Probably use electric only in that one.
