1st Time In The Everglades

[backwater4]

Fished the Everglades (actually the canals off I 75). What a blast. Started out with some big worms, 12 and 16". We caught some on these which was fun, never fished anything that big before. Then caught a bunch on swimbaits, senkos and spooks. In total, probably had 40 bass in the 1-7lb range. Most were 1.5 - 3 w/ 2 over 5 and the one about 7. You guys have some great fishing down here. Tons of fun.

The fishing here is usually great all year long. Fresh or salt water, a nice choice to have.

The canals along I75 always produce well. I have had days when I caught 30 bass on 30 consecutive casts. Mostly small ones though. Those 5's and 7 are quite good for that area. glad you had a good time here.

1.5 - 3lbs is the norm in this area. Anything over 5lbs is a good day. 7lbs is a wow day! Glad you had a good time. What did you hook the 7lber on? Just curious, I suspect live bait but please enlighten me it's been years since I saw one that big down here.

The big girls are still around evergladesbasser, I caught some nice fish earlier this spring after the cold.  In the hot weather I haven't had anything over 5 though.  Live bait is definitely the key for the larger fish though.

Glad you had a good time Backwater4.  South Florida really is the fishing paradise it's made out to be.  Next time you come down here, you've gotta take a day to go catch some Peacocks. 2 pound peacock fights like a 6 pound largemouth  .

I will definitely vouch for that statement bro. Peacocks are vicious!!! ;D
