New Spots in Miami, Florida

[TheLethalKing]

I'm looking for some new spots to fish for largemouth. I fish for peacock every weekend but I'd like some spots like ponds for largemouth near the southeast area of Miami. And please don't say there are spots everywhere because if that were true for where i live i wouldn't asking this question. Thanks in advance

Honestly the bass fishing is spectacular in South Florida. Almost every canal,pond,lake is loaded with bass,so it's not hard to find good places to fish.With that said, what county are you most interested in fishing?Miami Dade?Broward?

You can try fishing the canal behind Opa Locka airport on Red Road and NW 142nd Street.Its the part of the canal that is "L" shaped. Last time I went fishing there I caught 16 bass in less than 4 hours,with the biggest one being a skinny but spunky 21.5" largemouth bass.This canal is also a good spot for peacock bass and various species of exotic fish.Amelia Earhart park is close to this canal and offers good bass fishing as well,but the peacock bass fishing is much better in the canal.

Aye thanks soflabasser and you give me directions to get to the canal? From google it looks like I'd have to go through the airport or through some houses.

There's plenty of parking nearby you just have to find it and walk a short distance to the canal. You are allowed to fish this canal as long as you have your Florida freshwater fishing license since it's a public canal. The peacocks hit well on Rapala jerkbaits and live shiners is the best way to get them. Don't be surprised if you hook into a snook or tarpon since they are in this canal system.

Thanks man. I don't mean to bother you but besides peacocks, do you have somewhere good for largemouths? My current place is bad that's why haha

[soflabasser]

Both the canal and park I mentioned offer good bass fishing,with a decent shot at a 5 pound or bigger bass.You just have to put in your time wisely for best results.

Did you go fishing last week?The bass fishing has been very good lately.Try the spots I mentioned, you should be able to have a good time catching both largemouth bass and peacock bass.
