South Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

Jonathan Johnson and I spent a few days peacock bass fishing in the Miami canals last week. We had a nice time boated about 12 to 15 fish each day. Jonathan is so passionate about peacock bass he has one an aquarium at home in Ohio. Each fish Jonathan caught was either on a jig or topwater. The hotter the water the better this specie will bite. Springtime is the best time for getting big fish because they spawn for a few months in water less than two fish deep. If you are heading to South Florida's Ft. Lauderdale or Miami area give us a call to arrange how you can catch these beautiful butterfly peacock bass or largemouth bass on the wonderful Lake Okeechobee or the Everglades.

South Florida Everglades Bass Fishing

It's been hot but far out on alligator alley of the South Florida Everglades you can still catch some largemouth bass if you can handle the heat. We fished for about five hours last week and landed about twelve largemouth up to 5 lbs. I had to work for them but patience paid off with this nice beauty. South Florida is usually difficult for catching any substantial size or quantity of fish this time of year because of high and hot water with low in oxygen. We've had rain but the water management has been able to keep water levels consistant which helps bass fishing. If you're planning a bass or peacock bass fishing trip to South Florida now's the time because it should only get better if we don't experince any major tropical weather systems. Our winter pattern usually begins in November.

South Florida Peacock Bass

Peacock bass fishing in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale will be getting red hot now that the water has heated up. It's been cold over night that last few weeks so the peacocks have been somewhat slow. After that last week of hot weather we should start to experience great fishing for these great fish. Peacock bass need water thats hot to thrive and spawn. Below sixty degrees and peacock will die off. That's the main and only reason South Florida sustains a population of this specie other than Hawaii.

South Florida Bass Fishing

The Everglades largemouth bass fishing is heating up lately with big numbers of fish being caught with a a large fish once in awhile. On Saturday we were out at Sawgrass Park and boated well over 100 bass but mostly all were small. Today out in the Everglades again we boated only 30 fish on the small side except for this monster caught by Mike Greico a long time customer of http://www.southfloridafishing.org/ .
