Large White Cichlids
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:04 pm
I went to the same canal in Cape Coral where I caught the blue oscar on previous post and saw large, say 3 o 4 pound whitish fish that have the general shape of a larger cichlid, like a peacock bass.
These large white fish were fast swimmers and were moving in and out of clear moving water where smaller fish were gathered.
I could not get them to strike any lure so no pictures for ID yet.
They are in a freshwater canal but near enough to open culverts that connect to the saltwater north of Matlacha.
Has anyone noticed a similar fish?
They definitely were not jacks.
