Florida Fishing Five Species

Florida Fishing Five Species

There are not many places where you can experience Florida Fishing Five Species. Fishing is one of the best outdoor activities you can explore whether alone or with family or friends.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Michael traveling from Pennsylvania. He wanted to come explore Lake Ida and get hooked up with some quality peacock bass.

A massive cold front moved into South Florida this fall which really could have hurt the fishing. On this trip, it made it even more excited. Additional storms and 17 mph wind cut this action pack trip short but we made the best out of it.

It is not every day that you can experience a fishing trip like this one. Michael caught 5 different species of fish. He caught over 25 fish that included peacock bass, largemouth bass, mayan cichlid, speckled catfish and the clown knife fish.

Michael and I had a really great time out on the water. I am looking forward to fishing with him again in December. It will be another adventure where we create more memories one fish at a time.

Great day with Captain Justin on his 19’ Nitro / 200 Yamaha. He put us on bigmouth bass, bluegill, and crappie, and he knows the fish, alligators, manatees, and Florida birds as well as he knows the water. Capable boat, knowledgeable captain — we’d go again.
