Thats my favorite way to catch plecos. I like to find them in the burrow and grab hold of the body though, less chance of them getting away or of injuring the fish. I once caught a pair simultainiously... one in each hand. I had the hardest time getting back up with a fish in each hand LOL


by the way, this is what a big sailfin looks like

Yep!!! That is the lake by the neighborhood that you lived at. We were fishing behind the church. That lake is busting at the seams with tilapia. When we were there, we caught 26 blue tilapia over two pounds. We threw 10 back, gave away four, and I filleted 12. Want some?

I used to see some massive ones in Lake Adair near downtown Orlando. They were pretty skittish and wouldnt let me get very close at all. Maybe because someone had been grabbing them by the tail? lol

I know I should re-read what I post lol. I actually have a NY accent lol.

There are times my wife while looking at pics has commented on my "forum writing" but hey it's a relaxed atmosphere here .

"I didnt know they were found that far north in Florida.
I know there is a big difference in temps during winter between Miami and Orlando."
 
Plecos are everywhere! You should see how many are at the springs down the road.

Chomps, you got any pleco pics from Wekiva Springs?
 
I know this is a bad idea since we're trying to get rid of them in Florida.. or anywhere in US... but i wonder if some of the exotics can survive... Like maybe a chocolate pleco or adonis pleco...

I did not think they could survive in Orlando during winter. We went to Disney last Dec and temp was like 15 degrees cooler than Miami ,

Assumed Jan/Feb would be to cold for them there. Guess they go deep .
