Florida Peacock bass, the start of 3 days

Mike Juneau and his son Mike Jr. from Denham Springs, LA decided to take on our three day variety pack trip once they know they were coming down to South Florida and were looking forward to getting in some Florida bass fishing. It was a planned trip for Mike Jr’s graduation and a present from Dad.

The first day they selected to start there fishing adventure down in Miami area for the mighty Florida peacock bass. They started off throwing top water with a couple of hook ups right away. The first strike of the day being a snook, overall it turned out to be another great day of peacock fishing with action getting better as the day went on. They ended up around 25peacock bass for the day and were all geared up for day two on Lake Okeechobee.

Lake Ida Fishing Report 5-20-2008

Today I fished Lake Ida area with Gene & Neil from Wellington, Fl which seen my new article on Fly Fishing for Florida Peacock bass in the May 2008 Florida Sportsman magazine.

So, after they read the article we had full intentions of fly fishing for the peacock bass with some of the new techniques that were written about. As always, weather (high winds) are never predictable and today it left us with very few options to choice from. Even so we started with the flies and rapidly realized it wasn’t going to work and pulled out the spinning gear.

We then switch to topwater lures and even live bait in some cases to provoke the bite. All said in done, we caught around 10 peacock bass that ranged from 1-1/2lbs up to 5lbs.

Mother nature didn’t provide the day we were looking for, but Gene & Neil scheduled a new trip next month to fish the Florida Everglades while fly fishing for trophy largemouth bass.

If you are in the South Florida area and would like to get a couple of hours in on a Peacock bass fishing trip, give me call!

I took Steven Boelsche and his brother Doug from Pinalls, FL out for a fun filled day in Miami for the mighty Peacock Bass.

It started off with some topwater fun, we nailed a snook right off the bat. The rest of the day was awesome with action all day.

We decided to take a break from catching Peacock bass and fish a split-day which a full day trip with a lunch break in the middle.

After the lunch break, back at it the action was hot like we never stopped. We caught Peacock Bass from 2 to 4 pound and ended up catching around 25 Peacock bass all day.

Florida Peacock Bass Report 05-12-2008

Today we had out Brian Pitell and his dad from Sevenfields, PA. They flew in for business and decided to fine time to fish a couple of days with us. The first day was in Miami for some hard fighting Peacock bass. Neither angler had ever caught a Peacock bass so I know this was going to be a real treat, and was it ever!

Because of travel arrangements we never started fishing until late afternoon, but this just proves what I have always said, the peacock bass bite all day.

They started out with a few average size Florida peacock bass, then with just a little experience under there belt it happen. Dad, hooks into a 5.12 lb peacock that simply show both of them why they are called the "mighty Peacock bass". After a good long fight, dad landed the beautiful fish and we took those unforgettable pictures that should last a life time.

Sorry, but the picture will be posted soon. They caught in the half day afternoon 20 plus fish with the 5.14lber being the biggest on this day.

W are going to get a early start tomorrow for some Everglades bass fishing on day two, so check our Everglades blog for the day two fishing report.
