    Default Oscars and Myans

    Made another to trip to Lake “O” and the Everglades after the invasive species. Five boats caught over 1500 fish. We caught plenty of oscars and myan cichlids but we also caught a good many panfish. We ate good with some chicken bog and a fish fry.

    Hate to see the water still down so low.

    Did Juan clean your fish?
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    The water was horribly low in Okeechobee.

    Yes, Juan is the man and has cleaned them for us a lot of years. He makes a killing down there from April-June.

    The fish tacos were awesome but those were the bang up shrimp tacos and absolutely the best.

    Any peacocks? The guide we used in Miami offered to take us to the glades for them. Thinking our next trip down there we are going to Okechobee bass fishing.

    We saw one about 1.5 lbs. Okeechobee was really low.

    They let you carry a rimfire to shoot the lizards? That’s what I would be doing.

    I hear those little black ones will run from you, but the big tan ones with the spikes on their head will square up on you and charge.

    They’ll die a bloody damn death if they do.....

    Also, if it’s that bad down there with the Oscars and Cichlids I believe I would toss back all the Bream and Bass. And I’d carry an ice pick to run through the brains of the invasives I didn’t plan on keeping.

    Peacocks in lake O???
    The only place I was aware they were present was the urban canals of Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach. Occasionly hear of some caught in the eastern glades and Naples area

    No. The peacock was in the Everglades.
