Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

Anybody know any lakes where there is some bass, snook, tarpon, peacock, carp? The one I fish only has LM bass and peacock

thanks

Try the lakes all around MIA airport.

eek didnt notice i was on the wrong forum so I'll just add some pics

There a lake with 3 inlets and bridges that has plenty of both, I live by miami gardens, let me know if you wanna come over one afternoon since they seem to bite better when kinda dark.

All the years I've been fishing fresh water down here, I've only managed 2 snook and zero tarpon....and the snook were a long time ago. Would like to learn more about freshwater tarpon fishing.

i don't understadn how people catch snook and tarpon in freshwater

Why not? Both species can live in fresh.

Not only are they euryhaline but I often find snook and tarpon are hogs in fresh water since they do not have any natural predation so they load up on all those freshies-exotics. Try small snake heads on tarpon and mayans on snook, why bother to go to the ocean when you can bank hop, Markham Park.

There certainly are Snook and Tarpon on the canal by Markham that parallels SR84, and if the water is moving East go directly to the West end at Krome avenue.

Wheres a good spot to fish on the canal that parallels SR84?, Ive heard of krome Ave. but have never been able to figure out where exactly it is. Can somebody help?"

KROME AVE RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH FROM OKEECHOBEE RD DOWN TO FLA CITY,THERE IS A CANAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF IT FROM OKEE-TO 8ST,IF COMING FROM NORTH MAKE RIGHT FROM OKEE (east)ONTO KROME(south) ON YOUR RIGHT THERES A PLACE CALLED MACKS FISH CAMP,OPPOSITE OF THAT THERE A TRAILER PARK,FROM HERE YOU WILL BE GOING SOUTH, LOOK FOR THE CANAL ABOUT 1 MILE AFTER MACKSON LEFT,WATCH FOR GATORS ON BANKS LOOK FIRST, THEN WALK,BE SAFE ! IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD TO TRAVEL GO DOWN TO TAMIAMI(SW 8 street) THEN HEAD WEST(right turn) TOWARDS NAPLES(LOOK FOR CASINO ON LEFT)YOU WILL BE HEADING INTO RESERVATION,BIG CYPRESS(WATER WILL BE EVERY WHERE),BOTH HAVE FREASH WATER ,KEEP GOING TO EVERGLADES CITY,YOU WILL SEE MANY CANALS YOU CAN FISH,BRACKISH AND SALT,YOU PICK WHAT YOU WANT, YOU CAN GET BASS,SNOOK,TARPON,IT DEPENDS ON YOU,IF YOU KEEP GOING YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF NEAR MARCO ISLAND(LOOK FOR THE SIGNS) THEN NAPLES WHERE THEY HAVE THE PIER.IF YOU REALLY WANT SNOOK AND TARPON CLOSER TO HOME,THE MIAMI AIRPORT LAKES ARE YOUR BEST BET,IVE CAUGHT BOTH(TOPWATER IN A:M)YAK OR CANOE WILL HELP,THERE ARE VERY FEW PLACES TO FISH FROM THE BANKS MOST HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, I KNOW IVE TRIED:!: TIGHT LINES
