In South Florida, we have two panfish that are something else. Oscars and Mayan cichilids fight like no other panfish. They're super strong and fast.

You fish for them in South Florida waters the same way you'd fish for panfish anywhere. I usually start out with No. 10 poppers, and will switch to subsurface flies (Myakka Minnows) when the action slows.

The action and the fight are incredible.
