We stopped at a side canal off 27 one day and my buddy and I got out our fly rods. We were using popping bugs hoping to catch bream before the Oscars best them to the lure. Instead we caught bass after bass, all 12-14 inches. Don't know why that canal was different but we must have caught 50-70 in short order before we left. Can't imagine what's in the channel now. That was 5 years ago.
