Mud Hole TV: Catching Clowns on Lake Ida in Delray Beach, Florida (Episode 2)

Peacock Bass, Clown Knifefish, Mayan Cichlids… Oh my! Watch another awesome episode of Mud Hole TV featuring some of the most exotic species of fish in South Florida.

On this episode, the Mud Hole Crew hits Lake Ida, an urban fishing paradise in South Florida’s Delray Beach. With a combination of custom built rods from MHX Rods and CRB, the boys chase the elusive new “Lake Ida Slam!”

Coining their very own slam, the crew aims to land the three popular exotics of Lake Ida: Peacock Bass, Clown Knifefish, and Mayan Cichlid. Between some key medium-heavy to heavy freshwater rods, and an array of finesse spinning rods, it seems like we built just the rods for the job.

We are here to bring the rewards of rod building to the masses. Not only by teaching you how to build your own custom rods, but also by going out and catching fish with the very rods we built to do it.

After heading offshore in the first episode, the second installment of Mud Hole TV takes the crew to Lake Ida, FL to explore the canals holding a mixture of native fish as well as the exotic species that our crew has yet to target.

Now exotic fun targets, like Peacock Bass and Clown Knifefish, find themselves in the crosshairs of some talented rod building anglers looking to cross these exciting species off a long list of fishy accomplishments.

Catching fish on a rod you built with your own two hands is a feeling next to none.
