South Florida C-4 Canal

[Fentawn]

Fished the banks of the C-4 canal close to the Palmetto Expressway this morning.  Started of slow but managed to land some nice peacock bass.  Heck of a fight these guys put up.

Ended up catching 4 peacocks after a couple of hours.

Awesome! Do you use live bait or lures? 

[Fentawn]

I was using live bait shiners.  Worked a worm and a crank bait after I ran out of shiners but no luck with that.

Congrats on some nice looking catches.

Congratulations on catching peacock bass!They are one of my favorite fish to catch in freshwater.

They put up a great fight.  I lost one that rocketed under a bridge and tangled the line among the bridge support beams.  Clever fellow

Ok, went back yesterday after work to fish the same canal.  Was having no success so headed further east by coral gables and landed this little guy.  I was trying to land some more peacocks but this was a nice surprise. 

Was shocked to catch a baracuda in a canal so far from the ocean.

Nice fish!

You'll find a ton of fish in there I have only fished there once considering it is pretty far from Broward but when I went I actually managed to catch a jack in there along with a few peacocks and Mayan cichlids.

That's one of the many reasons bank fishing here is so good!We have several saltwater fish that live in our freshwater canals. Snook,Tarpon,Mullet,and Jack Crevalle  are the most common ones,but we also have Barracuda,Redfish,Mangrove Snapper,Cubera Snapper,Sleeper Gobies,Bull Sharks,and other saltwater fish in our freshwater canals.
