I'm getting nostalgic just reading this post. Living in Ft Lauderdale until I was 18 I spent many hours fishing those canals. Those canals are everywhere, endless, and always full of surprises. Peacock bass, largemouth bass, tilapia, tarpon, you may even find a snook here and there depending on location.
If you want some light tackle fun, hook into an Oscar on 2lb test or on a flyrod. I miss that place so much but one thing that sucks about south Florida is the crime so you're definitely correct on not wanting to be around certain neighborhoods after dark.
How long of a drive was it for you? I'd love to make the haul down there and spend about a week yak fishing canals but I don't enjoy long road trips as much as some do.
