Title: Boca Raton, Florida Visit!
Post by: Badfish07 on December 27, 2023, 11:50:57 AM
Hello Folks!
Heading to Boca Raton, Florida this upcoming week for a few days.
Does anyone have advisement for fishing charters or even shore fishing?
Any and all positive advisement is welcome! Never been there and would like to get a couple days in.

Book a charter and go fish Lake Ida for clown-knife fish! This would be a true bucket list fish!!!!

Plus there are peacock bass in most of the ponds and canals around there.

Surprised that FLA DFG link didn't say "kill/distroy all fish caught".

Invasive species are taking a toll of the native wildlife.

Unique looking fish though.

A lot of times that is the case but these fish bring in TONS of revenue and seem to be confined to those few lakes.
