Lake Ida, Florida

Went after peacocks last week in the west palm area. Got bass/catfish/peacocks and hybrids. We hit into about 20 hybrid anywhere from 1lb up to 4lb. I was anticipating a much better fight in the hybrid bass from what I read. They fought, but compared to the same size smallies I would say the smallies are a much better battle. Granted the tackle/line strength have a huge influence on the battle. Either way Fla has such sweet fishing options with much less pressure than us in NJ. Always worth the trip down there to fish.
