Come
experience fishing on Lake Ida, Fishing Lake Ida for
trophy bass & Peacock bass with professional guide.
Located in Delray Beach is the huge Lake Ida
Park which features
some of the best fresh water fishing in Palm Beach County. Stocked with
largemouth bass, striped bass and other species, fishermen say nothing beats
the urban waters of Lake Ida. The numbers of bass for
such a beautiful urban environment is simply fantastic. A few butterfly
peacock bass have also found their way into this area, but the fishery
continues to produce great largemouth. Yes, the location does offer the
opportunity to catch Peacock bass, but should not be the targeted species of
choice. We have other location where they are much more
abundant, so be sure to ask us about it.
While there's not an abundant
wildlife and colorful bird section like the Everglades has to offer, there are
plenty of fish which are quickly accessible from most of south east coast and especially
Palm Beach. Live bait as well as artificial lures work most all year
around and because of the remote location it is well protected from most fail
weather which would normally interrupt your day of fishing. There's not
another place in south Florida that's more convenient and accessible to
vacationers, business travelers or just local fishermen that want to learn how
to fish the canal and lakes of South Florida. For more people worms and
crickets are the choice baits for panfishing, although jigs and beetle spins
will also work.
 There
is a bag limit for butterfly peacock and largemouth which posted at all of the
ramps. When fishing for Peacock bass you are only allowed two fish per day,
only one of which may be over 17 inches. Butterfly peacock are sensitive to
water temperatures below 60oF which makes them susceptible to
periodic winterkills in the E-4 Canal system.
In addition to largemouth bass, bluegill, and redear sunfish, central E-4
Canal anglers can also catch several exotic fishes including oscars from South
America, spotted tilapia from Africa, and Mayan cichlids from Central America.
These exotic species were illegally released and pose a threat to native
species. Oscars, spotted tilapia, and Mayan cichlids are all bream-shaped
fishes.
Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions
you may have, go ahead and give this urban fishery a try. I know you will
enjoy it.
