It's been a wonderful spring fishing season in the Florida Everglades over the last month or two. We've been fishing mostly on alligator alley with catches of up to 100 bass to about 5 1/2 lbs. Most of our luck has been on worms and senko style baits. The water has been steadily rising which usaully will slow the bass fishing down but not so far. Here's a nice 5 1/2 lb largemouth caught in the last week of April 2012.

Miami Peacock Bass

Steve Antoline and his buddy Frank enjoyed catching 22 peacock bass up to 3 lbs. on March 1, 2012. The guys have fished with me 5 times over the last month mostly for largemouth bass on Lake Okeechobee. Why not try peacock bass in Miami after all those trophy bass Steve caught on lake Okeechobee. The fishing is getting better each day now that the water temperatures are staying above 75 degrees. Peacock bass love warm to hot water and can't tolerate cold conditions very well. Now that it's going to stay hot so should the Peacock Bass fishing in South Florida. Give us a call at (954) 445-1811 for booking information or current fishing conditions.

Florida Peacock Bass Guide Service

Lenny Sortino fished with us in Miami in late January for peacock bass and on Lake Okeechobee. Lenny landed about 18 peacock bass up to 4 lbs. all on small shiners. The fishing is improving but we still need a little more warm weather to really turn the fish on. South Florida experienced real cold weather about two years ago and knocked the fish back some and they are still recovering from the slight fish kill. But with an experienced peacock bass guide you can still catch a decent number of fish if you know where to fish.
