Lake Ida Fishing Slam

Lake Ida Fishing Slam

Florida Fishing is one of the best things you can adventure out to do when traveling to the state. A Lake Ida Fishing Slam will keep you hooked and ready to come back all year long. You can’t beat the action down here in South Florida.

I had the pleasure to have two trips on Lake Ida this Fall. The morning trip was with Dan who really wanted to experience an artificial bite on Lake Ida. Our afternoon trip was with Dawson and his family who were in store for a great fishing adventure.

Dan wanted to search and hunt for peacock and largemouth bass on his trip. He wanted to use artificial baits to catch them as well. Jerk and spinner baits put several quality bass in the boat. Dan had a fantastic time out on the water and is looking forward to coming back to do it again soon.

On our second trip out in the afternoon, we had a much different outcome. Dawson a young 13 year old and his family had a blast catching all the major species of fish on the Lake Ida Chain.

They had a fantastic trip catching over 25 peacock bass, 6 largemouth bass and 1 clown knife fish. Dawson caught a Lake Ida slam and couldn’t have been more excited. This kind of action can make you addicted to the sport forever.

I am looking forward to enjoying more trips out with these amazing people. Both groups had an amazing time and are excited to come back and catch more. This time of year is action packed and you don’t want to miss out on your adventure, contact Bass Online today!

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.
