Thread: Biggest Oscar Yet

I'm in West Palm. We seem to be at about the northern edge of their range. I haven't caught a Mayan here yet, but I'm sure they are here. The southern end of PB county, say Boynton and Boca Raton down South through Broward and Dade counties are where you start running into the mayans, snakeheads and peacocks. When I go visit my dad in Naples I take the Tamiami Trail from Miami through to Naples and fish the canals. Its a blast. You have no clue what you'll catch on an ultra light or fly rod. A bass, a gill, a tarpon or some weird exotic.The lakes right by the Miami airport are supposed to be loaded with peacocks and the C41 canal in Broward is a hot spot for all the weirdness as well. Load up with ten pound braid and a fluro leader or a 4_6wt fly rod and have fun. The braid is worth the money as its the same diameter as two pound test and if you get a ten pound tarpon you're off to the races on a light rod. Its almost worth making the trip, scratch that, it is worth making the trip to fish the canal west from the turnpike in Miami to Everglades city, about sixty miles. Spend a day in the canal, a day in Everglades, fish the Fakka Union spillay the next day then motor back home ti Kissimmee on I 75. It would be a cheap weekend trip.
