South Florida Peacock Bass Fishing


We've had multiple fishing trips for peacock bass in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami canals this summer and have done quite well. Peacocks will usually bite no matter how hot it gets in South Florida. Native of Brazil and a tropical species, heat will get them feeding quite well. We usually recommend live bait because they will eat shiners much better than lures. The last trip I had we used all artificial bait and caught this beautiful butterfly from a Miami canal. As we head into winter the bigger peacocks should start to spawn again very shallow. Fishing for these guys up shallow is something exciting. Give me a call if you are visiting South Florida to arrange a fishing trip with me.
