    Yes they taste similar to bream. You may find the texture closer to LM Bass. My wife thinks they taste like a cross between the two. Battered and fried they are fine eating. We fillet and skin all ours and considering the stuff big sugar pumps into the water I recommend you do the same.

    Are they a native fish species? Just curious. I’d love to try them on the plate.
    And catching them sounds like an absolute blast!!

    They are invasive and multiply like crazy. You can fill a 75 q t cooler every day from the same spot. The bream and crappie don't stand s chance.

    How is that landing at Holiday Park? I go to the saltwater part of the Glades a lot but have never fished the freshwater canals? But on days that wind and storms won't let us fish the gulf coast those canals could be a great option. I just didn't know how secure those interior areas are to leave a nice tow vehicle? The crime is so bad in parts of South Florida that I like to get people's opinions before I try a new ramp.

    The park itself is very secure. There's a tin of tourist traffic in and iut of there all the time.
    Now some of the smaller landings are unmanned but we've never had a problem. problem
    You can also jump off Hwy 27 on to I75 N. and put in at the rest center. Its manned and there's a police substation there.

    Actually I won't make it this year. I was very hopeful that my chemo would allow me to go but I had such a bad reaction last week I ended up in hospital.
    I can't take a chance on that happening while on the trip.
    So I'll have to pass this year.
    I even bought a new boat to take too!

    For anyone that has never been there fishing, it's the most crazy fishing you'll ever do. A fish on every cast out. A friend went last year and they used raisins for bait. He said that were could catch 3 and four fish before having to rebait, not like a cricket for every fish. You will have a big time fishing there.
