bowfin help
never caught a bowfin before but Im dying to get one! I was thinking of trying the canals that run parallel to US 27 or Krome ave, would these be good places to target? also what are my chances of catching a pickerel there too? as they are neat fish, thanks!
There's no such thing as too much bait!!

Re: bowfin help
You mentioned the places I would suggest...I always caught mine just off krome ave and tamiami trail. The west side of the second levee l-67 I think.... but I was there a few months ago wasn't targeting them but didn't see any, a few years ago you almost couldn't avoid them.
I dunno about the pickerel there but there is a canal that runs along Bird rd and dead ends close to krome the last section of the canal has a lot of gar and there might be a pickerel or 2 mixed in

Re: bowfin help
head over to the holey land off of 27 at the broward/palm beach county line, there are loads of mudfish and if you are real lucky you may get a pickerel. There are more pickerel the farther north you go.

Re: bowfin help
Bowfins are very agressive and will hit anything, and put up some kind of fight too! I've caught pickeral off Krome canals, they run small.
