Planning on taking my family down in April to fish. The boys want to catch some invasives while we are there. We are staying in Okeechobee on one of the canals. Any tips?

If you can hit the water with the cast you’ll catch them.

Go get you some of them oscars my man!
I am a nobody, that met somebody, that can save anybody.
Heres a tip – skip the ditch meat and go catch yourself a snook instead. Either way y'all will have fun.

Alan Zaramba does Everglades & canals in south fla. Look him up. Went with him a few years back & it was awesome. Also look up the guides shooting the iguanas with high powered pellet guns.
No boat needed. Just go to the Keys and whack them in the yard.
Oscars cannot resist crickets. Many years ago, we had a pair in an aquarium in the office where I worked. We'd bring in a tube of cricket to feed them. They'd eat one after another and still eat after they were pooping whole crickets and you could see cricket legs in their throats. They absolutely could not resist them.
How big is an oscar compared to a shell cracker?

Oscars are incredibly aggressive. We caught them as fast as we could keep a small white spinnerbait in the water. Be mindful that they tear baits up pretty badly so be prepared.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
are they good to eat?

Oscar tacos with some shredded pepper jack and green sauce is the tits
When I was single I had a couple large aquariums.. like 100 gallons. One was dedicated to my Oscar named Beauregard, that bastard was mean and huge. I kinda want to fry some up.

We caught more Mayan Cichlid than anything. Fish the canals along hwy 27 below South Bay.We caught plenty of Oscars as well. They love crickets.
Fillet, fry, eat. They’re good.
