South Florida Bass Fishing

The last few weeks of largemouth bass fishing in South Florida has been good considering the cooler weather we've been having. On Tuesday Dec. 9, we were fishing alligator alley and boated about 70 bass mostly on the small side but definately fun. Each time out we've been able to catch fish upwards of 5 lbs. though. Every fish we caught happened to be on plastic worms and homemade worms that I mold. As the water continues to drop along with these cooler water temperatures should drive bass towards spawning. The fun of fishing South Florida is coming early this year and it should be fantastic starting any day now.

South Florida Peacock Bass

Bass fishing and Peacock Bass are hitting pretty well considering the cooler weather we've been having at night. Water levels will be dropping in the Everglades and the Miami canals creating good opportunities for both species. On Tuesday we had Heather & Tim Gray in Miami in the C-100 and the couple landed 7 nice fish up to 4 lbs. all on shiners. As the winter progresses these bigger male peacock bass will start to prepare for the spawn soon. As long as the water remains warm the season should be fantastic.

Jim Boone from Birmingham, Alabama and I were out peacock bass fishing on Friday. This time of year peacock bass fishing can be good or bad but lately is been great. Water levels and temperatures can be tricky because peacock bass love hot water. It really depends on how hot the South Florida weather is. Today we just had a cold front come through dropping the nighttime temperatures into the low 50's. It usually only takes a few days for these fish to start biting again. Mr. Boone landed 13 peacock bass in a half-day trip up to 4 3/4 lbs. all on live bait.

The Everglades of the Ft. Lauderdale area are starting to produce some good largemouth bass fishing. Today Capt. Victor and I were out for about four hours and boated about 20 small largemouth with one nice 5 lb. bass. The South Florida's Everglades are quite high after almost record summer rains but should start dropping quickly now that the rainy season is over. This nice bass was caught on a worm deep off the drop off ledge.

Peacock bass fishing this week in South Florida has been good considering the colder weather we've had. On Wednesday night it dropped down into the low 50's which peacock bass don't like. Water temperatures below 60 degrees will kill peacocks. Carl Gaudins and I were out on Saturday and we boated 7 peacock bass up to 4 lbs. We noticed a couple big male fish courting females, which is unusual at this time of the year.

Peacock Bass fishing in South Florida is picking up and should stay good now that the rainy season is ending. On Saturday we had a guide trip in the C-100 canal of south Miami and landed 12 nice fish with two over 4 lbs. Water levels are dropping and cleaning up meaning fishing will continue to improve. Lake Okeechobee water levels are up which will help make for a great winter bass fishing season on the lake. The Everglades bass fishing is still tough in certain areas and better in others. Experimenting by trying different conservation areas will help you locate the best spots.

While out peacock bass fishing in a canal of South Florida on Wednesday a young man pulled up along side us to ask if we had a scale to weigh this beautiful largemouth bass that weighed in at over 10 lbs. He also only had a camera phone with low resolution so we were able to get a few great pictures for his trophy big Bass. These canals of South Florida around the Miami & Ft. Lauderdale area are full of huge Largemouth Bass & Peacock Bass that are rarely caught.

Bernard Washington and I were out for a half-day everglades bass fishing trip on Saturday dodging lightning bolts but managed 20 bass to 5 lbs. South Florida bass fishing should slow down now that the rain is finally here. It's been coming down hard for the last week or so which should continue for the rest of the summer making fishing much tougher.

South Florida Bass Fishing 6-9-08

Jim Kientzy and his brother-in-law Dwayne were out on Monday in the South Florida Everglades bass fishing with us. The guys landed 45 largemouth bass up to 3 lbs. That's small for this time of year but the rain has finally come and has slowed the bass fishing down somewhat now. Each year the process repeats itself like clock work. On Friday night June 13th a night tournament out of Holiday Park was won with only 22 pounds, we usually can catch that in the daytime! After that weight the bags went way down which is quite unusual for night fishing for bass in the South Florida Everglades.

Lowell and I tried snapper creek canal system today which connects tothe C-4 Miami airport system. It's also loaded with great fishing for both peacock bass & largemouth bass, snook and tarpon. Over two days of peacock bass fishing Mr. Shapley had a blast landing 57 peacocks himself with me only 10? He is a taxidermist mostly mounting birds but I think he's considering other ideas now after his trophy 5 lber he caught the day before! Here's a great picture of a double hook up we had yesterday.

South Florida Bass Fishing 5-27-08

South Florida bass fishing for numbers is no better anywhere! The Everglades catch rate they say is 1.4 bass per hour. How does 12 or 13 per hour sound! That's the average we had on Tuesday May 27th landing 64 bass in just 5 hours plus many more missed. The Ft. Lauderdale area for largemouth bass between March and July is the best on the planet for total numbers of largemouth bass caught. The peacock bass fishing is also great as the water gets hotter like is right now. For more South Florida Bass fishing information click on these two links, Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing.

South Florida Bass Fishing 5-20-08

It's still great fishing in the South Florida Everglades this week. Today we were out somewhere in the everglades catching fish on artificial lures and not shiners. It was 76 largemouth bass with the biggest on the small side today and only about 2 1/2 lbs. We seen many larger fish swirl up on our lures but turn away at the last minute. The key is very long casts but with the wind blowing 25 mph all day that made it difficult. If we caught every bass we saw today I'm estimating upwards of 150 or more bass. It's fantastic right now and I haven't even tried shiners yet like some others I know, because that's all they can catch them on. Water levels are still dropping and heating up which should get the night fishing going real good also.

South Florida Bass Fishing Report 5-13-08

Today we were out in the South Florida Everglades bass fishing. Yesterday a mild spring cold front came in with high winds which is causing many wild fires through out Florida. But today the wind was low and no clouds either to put a chop on the water which made fishing slightly tougher. We still managed to land 33 bass up to 4 pounds. The bait of choice is still plastic style lures. We can't tell anybody exactly what we are using because of a certain guide service who likes to copy everything we do! We've changed the look of the web blog home page to not be copied again. Anyway if largemouth bass or peacock bass fishing interests you click on any of our websites in the side blogroll to the lower right. The canals in the South Florida Everglades right now are producing quite well and should continue for the next month or so.

South Florida Peacock Bass Report 5-7-08

Greg Plano and friend Ken from the University of Miami professor department were out with me yesterday in Miami for Peacock bass for a half-day. We landed 15 peacocks in a few hours before the heat was too intense. Here is a nice picture of a double the guys boated. They used shiners to catch all their fish in Miami. With the water levels coming down because of very little rain the fishing in the Miami & Ft. Lauderdale canals for largemouth bass and peacock bass with continue to be great.

South Florida Bass Fishing Reports 5-7-08

We've been out in the South Florida everglades and Miami for largemouth bass & peacock bass three times this week. On Saturday in the everglades we caught over 60 bass up to 3 3/4 lbs. and in Miami the peacock bass fishing is great. Yesterday we boated 15 peacocks up to 3 lbs. on a half-day trip. As the water heats up the levels will drop which creates even better bass fishing in the everglades. Peacock bass fishing should stay good until the late summer rains cause some oxygen problems.

South Florida Everglades Bass Fishing Reports 4-15-08

They are still biting in the Florida Everglades. Yesterday evening we were out for 4 short hours until the temperatures dropped to the high 50's in April? This is very unusual for this time of year. But despite cooler temperatures the bass are still hitting quite well. In less than 4 hours we boated 22 bass up to 3 lbs. and missed quite a few as well. The water is still high and will remain that way because with Lake Okeechobee being too low the water management department hasn't the nerve to lower the Everglades. Largemouth bass fishing remains good in a few certain areas and knowing where is the secret along with only a few baits working with any consistancy.

Bass fishing in the South Florida Everglades is getting better daily. With the water levels being lowered for hurricane season the bass get flushed out of the marshes into the canals making them easily excessible.

South Florida Peacock Bass Fishing Reports 2-21-08

We've been Peacock Bass fishing lately and getting good numbers. Yesterday Nathan Reisdorph from San Antonio, Texas boated 19 peacock bass up to 2 1/2 lbs all on live shiners. I fished artificial baits and boated only 2 fish. With the hot weather just around the corner the artificial bite will pick up along with the size of boated peacocks. This is the time of year you'll see many peacock bass in very shallow water spawning which allows you to catch them quite easily. Please try not to catch both male and female fish from the same nest to preserve the spawning ritual.
