low_pro Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 thanks guys! these things fight like monsters! i definately recommend at least one trip down to southern florida if you've never experienced it... i know i am lucky to have these fish around, but on the other hand I've never caught a smallmouth or a striper! I'll be moving to northern florida in about three months, so I will definately miss these guys... but they have stripers and crappie! does anyone know if there are smallmouth in the panhandle area, or is it too warm?

Super User fishinfiend Posted March 18, 2008 Super User Posted March 18, 2008 I live < 1 hour from Pensacola and unfortunately there are no smallmouth around :'( . I grew up in Cutler Ridge by Homestead and we would catch peacock bass in the canals. They are a blast and will almost yank the rod out of your hand. My uncle lives in Panama and he catches over 100 in a matter of hours with his clients. I need to get down there to bend a rod. Where are you going to move to on the panhandle? Quote
low_pro Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 My uncle lives in Panama and he catches over 100 in a matter of hours with his clients. ;D Moving to Panama City! I'll be there in about 90 days... We'll have to get a line wet sometime... Quote
