Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

well i just found this spot and i noticed that there are many cichlids, peacock bass, and crevalle jack.... but i noticed some nice sized fish down under the bridge im fishing under and they wont hit anything i give them....


any idea how to catch them??

If it were me I'd send down a cichlid on a fish finder rig and wait. You could try mullet chunks too. Could be tarpon or snook.

Those type of cabals hold some of the biggest snook in my opinion... Try and find you some big mojarras.... Thrill then alittle up current of bridge and let the current take it under the bridge n wait for the thump

any idea how to catch a cichlid?

This is a good article on them. Make sure you re using big gear once you catch them for bait.
