What an awesome afternoon. We went through four packs of senkos and two packs of the bps stick-o's. The smallest was about 1lb, average was about 2 lbs with a 5 and a 6 lber. I think the total was probably around 35 or so. We're hoping to fish the miami airport lakes tomorrow. Ill report back haha 1 Quote

We fished blue lagoon today just south of miami international airport. We caught 8 largemouth, a few peacocks and both hooked up to several tarpon in the 10-25lb range. We both got one tarpon to the boat. Such a great fight on light tackle. Definitely worth the drive! 2 Quote
Wurming67 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Awesome bro!!!!I think that's y I like lox not as many people out there I think Holiday park has kotg tournament out there this weekend..... Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted March 29, 2017 Super User Posted March 29, 2017 Might go to the Glades in a couple weeks if the water level keeps dropping. Quote
Wurming67 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Where you guys going tomorrow?I'm thinking sawgrass recreation. Quote
Wurming67 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Ended up going to sawgrass recreation had a good day this was the best one 3 Quote
topwaterrob Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I fished Holiday park sunday and man the cychilds or whatever they are called are worse than I have ever seen them. Had to wade through a ton of them to get to the 25-30 bass I caught. They are definitely competing with bass in the food chain. Could be an issue for bass fishing out there in the future. Theyre super aggressive and will try to eat anything close to shore. On top of that my motor broke down making the afternoon even better. 2 Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted April 3, 2017 Super User Posted April 3, 2017 There's not much that can be done to remove all the exotic fish from the Everglades.Few bass fisherman in the Everglades are keeping exotics to help thin out the numbers,maybe making a exotic fish tournament with prizes will encourage people to help eradicate these fish.A couple strong confronts may help to greatly reduce the exotic fish population,that's what happened in 2010 when massive amounts of exotics died.The past "winters" we had where much warmer than usual,so these exotic fish are thriving in the warmer water. 1 Quote

We had the same problem at sawgrass recreation than we found an area that had clearer water and not all those junk fish than we started slamming the bass. Quote

On top of that my motor broke down making the afternoon even better. they're oscars and they are were a pain in the butt the last 3 trips at holiday. i was on 25 pounds in 3 different areas, but on sunday could only manage 16.8 pounds. to top it off, i dropped my pliers in the water unhooking a 15 pound mudfish. that made it super difficult to get those oscars off my trebles by hand. my hands are tattered. 1 Quote

I'm taking a 5 gallon bucket with me every time I go out to Holiday this summer. Ill fill that bad boy up and give it to someone on shore to eat or for catfood or something.... 2 Quote

That sounds like a good idea but that won't do much to the Oscar population.These fish are everywhere in the Glades and it will take much more than a couple bass fishermen to truly lower their numbers. 1 Quote
Wurming67 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Oscars are infested at sawgrass recreation like piranhas Quote
bocabasser Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 the park is hot! when you're catching these all day, its hard to leave. 4 Quote

Gotfishyfingers? Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Nice catches fellas!! Holiday park/Everglades there is plenty of space for everyone. Almost seems endless lol.. Although at times it seems if one person see's a boat fishing they will stop in the area,thinking it must be fishy. Then another boats comes by and sees 2 boats fishing etc.. lol The park was closed yesterday due to the fires/smoke out there.. 1 Quote

SecondChance28 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Went out on Saturday and man, I think the water levels were high and it was extremely windy! Caught a few mud fish and 1 bass! Mostly flipping into the pads! I need help. Lol!! I'm launching at the first boat ramp just north of i75 on us-27. Anything helps! Quote
bocabasser Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 where you are fishing secondchance, those fish aren't there yet. instead of going north, go south to holiday park. take the l67 the south canal, to the cut #4 and start fishing south to five. stay on the flats side. the two baits that have been working for me are the spook and the snake. wherever you see a washout, hit it hard. stay and make extra casts at everyone of them. i don't mind giving up this info now, because the king series is over and the classic has a 1/5 chance of being there. they are not smashing the spook, they are more or less sucking it in. at first you'll think its an oscar, but when they pull you'll know its not. the better bite is during the week because the weekend pressure is brutal. don't be afraid to throw a swim jig in the pads as well. the pad bite will be next, just don't know where. 2 Quote
topwaterrob Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Weekend pressure.... Man I fished the Kotg sunday and there was literally a boat every 100 yards d**n near all the way to Tamiami.... Definetly right on about them not crushing the spook, they would just tap or slurp underneath it. where you are fishing secondchance, those fish aren't there yet. instead of going north, go south to holiday park. take the l67 the south canal, to the cut #4 and start fishing south to five. stay on the flats side. the two baits that have been working for me are the spook and the snake. wherever you see a washout, hit it hard. stay and make extra casts at everyone of them. i don't mind giving up this info now, because the king series is over and the classic has a 1/5 chance of being there. they are not smashing the spook, they are more or less sucking it in. at first you'll think its an oscar, but when they pull you'll know its not. the better bite is during the week because the weekend pressure is brutal. don't be afraid to throw a swim jig in the pads as well. the pad bite will be next, just don't know where. 1 Quote
SecondChance28 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I was fishing mostly on the main canal heading towards holiday park. Those numbers that you're mentioning, I have no idea where those are . Lol please excuse my lack of knowledge. I was also wondering where the "flats" are!?! I just finally bought a boat and I'm going out after work during the week and in the weekends with my kid. Quote
SecondChance28 Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 hopefully this weekend everyone has done better, i Know its mothers day weekend but hopefully some of us have a little time to wet our lines.! Quote
