What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Delray Beach, Florida for the first time?

Lake Ida is a very unique fishery, nothing else like it in Florida or anywhere else. Solid Bass fishing, especially Peacock Bass, and the only place that you can catch wild Clown Knife fish. The lake and canals have it all, definitely the best all around lake in all of Florida.

I got this trip for my fiance, Andrew, the day before our wedding... mostly to keep him busy and out of our hair while preparing at my Mom's. Adam took him to Lake Ida which is almost right next to my Mom's house. Andrew couldn't have been more pleased. He caught more fish in the first half hour than he does in the lake at our house -- almost all were Peacock Bass which is what he was hoping to get. Adam was a great conversationalist, was very informative about the lake and it's fish, and Andrew says he will definitely do it again! Thanks, Adam!!!

Take plenty of water to drink and wear cool clothing. It does get very hot and heat stoke hits quickly!

Bring some heavier tackle if fishing live bait is not your way. Bring lots of water with some ice. It is florida in summer. Take your first rip with a guide.

Adam was kind, professional and a skilled host. We had a wonderful time and would love to hire him anytime.

Don’t hesitate to book a trip in December as the weather is wonderful and the fishing fantastic. Lock it in now and make some memories!

If this is your first time to the area, Brian knows which bridges and grass lines hold fish and which don't. That's important as there are miles of canals all around this area. Hire Brian.

If you get a chance to fish, don't pass it up. Multi species day with dozens of fish landed.

I can not comment on offshore fishing at Delray Beach, but the Lake fishing is great !
