YNCBASSMAN Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I'm a Navy recruiter in Delray Beach and I'm looking for some great bass fishing (largemouth and peacocks). Unfortunately I don't have a boat (yet!) If anyone could help, I would appreciate it!! Tight Lines! Quote
gar-tracker Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Theres a nice canal west of the turnpike on PGA, its about a mile west maybe less, theres a ramp there but it can be walked from either side efficiently. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 I live in Delray and have yet to find a really good spot locally for lmb and peas, I'm boatless as well. I do know of quite of few spots around here. Quote
BANDITBASSER Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 MY BASS CLUB IS LOOKING TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING FOR WOUNDED VETS MAYBE YOU COULD HELP WITH THIS Quote
YNCBASSMAN Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 I would love to be part of a tournament or outing for wounded vets!! my cell number is 561-670-5909, my office is located on Federal Hwy in Delray just north of Linton Blvd. Give me a call or email (randy.murray@navy.mil) and we can try to set something up. I might be able to get my command involved. Everyone else, thanks for the fishing input, I will definitely check out that canal!! I did find a good spot out in West Boca for LM, there's a park on Yamato past 441. I tried fishing the turnpike canal on Boca Rio Rd for Peas but got skunked. I think I'm fishing for them wrong.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 15, 2009 Super User Posted May 15, 2009 I've caught some nice LMB in the Boca rio, never peas, If you are talking about South County regional, there is a lot of water there, I managed only a few dinks there. Quote
YNCBASSMAN Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah, South County. You have to fish the Yamato side of the park, not the Glades side. Only small ones so far on the Glades side. I've only caught a handful of dinks at the Yamato side, so far they are averaging 1.5 -2lbs. I caught nearly 30 nice bass over two days. I'm going to have to give the little hole a break now, it's only maybe an acre big. I saw 4 peacocks at Boca Rio the other day, I did hang a nice bass on the Xrap I was fishing, it shook off though. Here is a pic of one of the bass I caught at South County. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 16, 2009 Super User Posted May 16, 2009 I did stop by the park off yamato a couple of weeks ago. There are quite a few small ponds there, got out of the car and the bugs were overwhelming so I left and fished the bigger lake off Glades. There is a small pond behind a park at 441 and Clint Moore. I caught a couple nice bass in there a few weeks ago. I have shimmied down to the Hillsborough canal at the south end of Boca rio canal, there are fresh water tarpon and snook in there. Quote
Speed Worm Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 There is a member here that has a lot of good success on golf courses down there, I think his name is Krzkev. Look him up and pm him. He seems like he could help you out. Quote
YNCBASSMAN Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 snook, i checked out that canal at the end of boca rio. quite a drop down to it though, lol. and there are the biggest iguanas i have ever seen there. i saw the 4 peas right there where the canals intersect. thanks speed worm, i'll do that.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 17, 2009 Super User Posted May 17, 2009 It is a big drop, I did it twice and at 64 I won't do it again.....lol Quote
BANDITBASSER Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I'LL CONTACT YOU WHEN I GET BACK IN TOWN LATER THIS WEEK AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET THIS STARTED SO WE CAN TAKE SOME OF THE VETS FISHING. Quote
