Ray Orosco on detail in Iraq was out with me this week in South Florida for some Peacock Bass fishing. We caught 10 total which is a little on the slow side for this time of year because of the cooler water. With each passing week the fishing will improve dramatically with the warmer air temperatures that are coming soon. Peacock Bass need hot water to be active and spawn and as March rolls around these number will probably double or even triple.

We've had two trips for Peacock Bass so far this month which has been a little slow. The reason has been colder than normal nights which hasn't allowed the water to warm up enough to get the peacocks really aggressive. But now that February is winding down the cold fronts should be over soon and great fishing will return. The hotter the better for these Amazon Butterfly Peacock Bass which are in the cichlid family and need very warm water.

It's hasn't been to bad considering the colder nights South Florida has been experiencing for catching Peacock Bass. These fish really need and love warm to hot weather to thrive and survive. Which is the one of the reasons South Florida and Hawaii are the only places to catch them in the U.S. If our water drops below 60 degrees peacocks will suffer and some will die if they don't seek out warmer spring water. But soon these northern cold fronts will be behind us and the better days ahead for our Peacock Bass fishery. Here's a nice 4 1/2 lb. beauty caught by Victor Campbell from Virginia back in January.
