Great place to fish if your fishing from the hotel Homewood suites. The waters right in the parking lot, nice and open and it's loaded with fish. there are jacks, tarpon, snook, peacock bass,large mouth bass All just from right there in the parking lot best bait to use is shiners everything else is gonna be a lot harder to hook up. shiners is the way to go.
The opportunities on lake Ida are impressive. Clown Knifes up to 40”, hard fighting peacock bass and the occasional wiper and largie. Perhaps a snakehead too if you have special skills for those. I don’t know any other lake in the world where you could catch all those. Great guides for the lake too like Jurassic Park Fishing CHarters, he went above and beyond for me to get those tricky clown knives. Definitely is a lot harder fishing this lake from shore, with very limited success. Would recommend taking your own boat out or hiring the guide I spoke or any guide for that matter. He’s the best one though for Clown Knives on Lake Ida.
