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.Capt.

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.

These fish really need and love warm to hot weather to thrive and survive.

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.</div>Capt.

Our night time temperatures were dropping into the the 40's some nights. If our water temperatures drop below 60 degrees the peacock bass have to find warmer water or they will die. The northern sections of their range did experience a substantial fish kill, fortunately the southern areas didn't get hit as bad. It's will take a few years in the areas north of Ft. Lauderdale for the fish levels to re-populate.
