It is a boga grip. Often has a scale on it. Works very well.
I live in South Florida. I would worry more about fire ants than snakes or gators. Yes, snakes and gators are here but the generally will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Fire ants on the other hand can leave you with bites that will last a long time. If you accidentally step on their hill you can have hundreds of them on you in seconds. They bite and sting and if you happen to be allergic can send you to the hospital real quick.
Mayan cichlids. Fun to catch and very good eating. They ARE in the same family as tilapia and oscars.
Mealworm. We used to call them golden grubs..always found in the areas that we stored grain. I would lay a board or piece of plywood on the floor in the grain bin and always could find a bunch of them under the board. Great for perch, bluegill and sunfish.

It IS a red horse sucker.
Caught lots of them on the Pine River in Wis. Red horse suckers.

The mushy trout are the yellow mouth species! The spotted sea trout is excellent table fare! Flesh is firm easy to clean and filet!
All the specs I have caught are on the soft side. Fun to catch but lot of other fish better to eat
Lake Istokpoga is a little larger and a very pretty lake for boating. Unfortunately they ruined the fishing a year or so ago by killing all the vegetation. Hopefully it will come back because it was a first class bass lake.
4-6 feet of water with a lot of weeds which supply oxygen to the fish.
Had 3 goldens that loved the water and fishing more then anything else.
Little Cleo silver, gold, green, blue.
You can pick up the quantum 30s 40s 50s and 60s at the Sportsman’s Warehouse for under $30. For the price you can’t beat em. I’ve got 4 of them and use them for everything here in Florida including Tarpon. So far, no problems.
It is a grass carp . They neuter them and put them in the canals here in Florida. They are illegal to keep. Catch and release only. In places where you can keep them they are very good smoked.
Speckled sea trout. Fun to catch, good fighters, but in my opinion not that great of table fare. They are a little on the soft side. I prefer redfish grouper, cobia, flounder and pompano which are all caught in the same area. Don’t get me wrong. I would eat them if offered but not my preferred fish.
