The Lake & Boat

Lake Ida

We love fishing at Lake Ida because it’s one of the best knife clown fish and bass fisheries in South Florida! With a mix of largemouth and peacock bass, there’s always action on the line, whether you're chasing a trophy fish or just out for a great day on the water. The lake’s clear waters and year-round bite make it a great spot for fishermen of all skill levels.

Lake Clarke Shores

Fishing at Lake Clarke Shores is always an exciting experience! This scenic waterway is home to plenty of largemouth and peacock bass, along with other exotic species that keep every trip interesting. With calm, fish-filled waters and a year-round bite, it’s a great spot for anglers of all skill levels to cast a line and enjoy a day on the water.
