South Florida Peacock Bass

Despite the minor fish kill in South Florida lately on some different cichlid species the peacock bass seemed to have faired o'kay. On Thurday January 28, Marcia and George Darnell from Coral Gables landed about 26 peacock bass and a few small largemouth up to 4 lbs. all on shiners. I'm quite sure the spring spawn will produce well this year and I would book early if you're interested in catching the part of the season.

South Florida Peacock Bass

Fishing in South Florida canals for largemouth bass and peacock bass remains good despite these cold days we've been having. Nighttime temperatures have been dropping into the high 30's. Peacock Bass usually do much better in warm to hot weather but as you can see by these last two posts fishing remains great. Mike Kenny landed this nice 5 lb. fish on January 2nd to start off his new year nicely. We landed about 25 peacocks for the days. We can be reached with up to date information about fishing in the Miami or Ft. Lauderdale areas at floridafishing@bellsouth.net or by the phone number listed on this page.

South Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

We been out only three times over the last two months fishing for bass and peacocks but have done quite well. In early November I had John White and Russ Erickson from Iowa. The guys landed over 40 peacock bass all on shiners from Miami's great fishery for these species. Within the first ten minutes of fishing John boated this great 7 lb. monster. This is a true butterfly peacock bass trophy fish.

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.
