South Florida Everglades Bass Fishing


Here's Tim Gray's nice 6 lb. bass caught a few weeks back. We caught about 50 bass that day and it was slow! The wind had died down which makes it somewhat harder. The Everglades bass fishing is good when the water levels drop and wind and clouds blow in. The more usually the better. Boat control can become a problem but the old drift sock always helps. Hopefully all my other guide buddies will read this and copy my blogs like they have in the past and they know who they are! We have a real bunch of pieces of work down here so be careful if you're considering a guide service in South Florida and not just an outfitter.

Everglades Largemouth Bass Fishing


It's been an awesome spring and would have been even better had the rain let up. It was also colder than normal which slowed things down in early part of spring. We've been catching about 50 to 75 largemouth bass on every trip and some up to 8 lbs. Here's a nice 8 lb. bass caught by Capt. Chuck on alligator alley in early April. Contact me (954) 445-1811 about fishing with me or e-mail me at floridafishing@bellsouth.net for guiding information.

Florida Peacock Bass


Robert Lopez and his cousin Robert from New York city were quite pleased to land about 20 peacocks for a half-day trip in late May. The winter fish kill has slowed down the numbers somewhat but we're still managing decent numbers considering. Next spring we should be fine because I'm seeing plenty of fry meaning the hatch was good. Peacocks muture quickly and grow at a rate of 10 inches per year! E-mail me for further information or booking at floridafishing@bellsouth.net or call at (954) 445-1811.

Florida Peacock Bass


Here's another nice day of peacock bass fishing about two weeks ago. My clients from Tennessee have been down with me about 5 times and have also fished in the Amazon and caught some giant peacocks. After that trip I can't understand why they would want to catch these size fish! But hey Peacock Bass are always a hoot. We boated about 18 fish for the day which is alittle slower than normal for this time of year but they had a blast.
