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.

Everglades South Florida Bass Fishing

Jonathan Johnson and I were out a few times in June bass fishing in the Florida Everglades and really caught them well. Each time out we landed somewhere between 50 & 75 largemouth bass up to 5 lbs. on plastic worms swimming the baits through the lily pads. Now that the summer has arrived and plenty of showers the fishing will get better for a few months.

Florida Everglades Bass Fishing

The Florida Everglades bass fishing has been great this spring and early summer despite the low water and bad oxygen levels. We've had many largemouth bass guided trips resulting in 50 to 100 fish days up to 5 lbs. Now that the rain has started the bigger female bass should feed good and we should see some of these 6 to 8 lb. bass start the feed better. Lake Okeechobee was also great this year despite very low water and navigation dangers. We had atrip in April and caught close 100 largemouth bass up to 6 lbs. near Clewiston. (954) 445-1811.

Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

We haven't had many peacock bass fishing trips this spring but when we did we caught some good fish. Most of our trips this year were bass fishing trips to the Florida Everglades for largemouth bass. The late spring and early summer is good for peacock bass though because they love hot water. For more information on fishing for peacock bass or largemouth bass near Ft. Lauderdale e-mail us at info@southfloridabassfishing.net or call (954) 445-1811. Check our new website at www.southfloridabassfishing.net

Florida Peacock Bass

Peacock bass fishing has been o'kay considering we've had little rain until this week. The rain will wash out the stagnant water conditions we're having and improve the fishing. We had two trips this week and caught about 25 peacock bass up to 5 lbs. As the rain cleans up the water and brings in oxygen fresh water the peacock bass fishing should get real good soon.

Lake Okeechobee Bass

Lake Okeechobee is still one of the best largemouth bass lakes in America. We had a trip on Friday April 15th and boated about 100 bass up to 6 lbs. all on artificial plastics. We fished the south end of the lake in about 18" of water! It's hard to believe that so many fish are stacked up so shallow on such a huge body of water. The Florida Everglades and Lake Okeechobee in South Florida are great fishing destinations for your next fishing vacation. We also can show you the only place other than Hawaii to catch Peacock Bass right here in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

Everglades Bass Fishing

Here we are again to say how good the Florida Everglades largemouth bass fishing has been over the last few weeks. Tim Gray and his buddy Alex were out for a half-day and landed about 70 bass up to 3 lbs. We didn't catch the big ones today but sure did prove why the South Florida Everglades has some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the country. Check out our new website at www.southfloridabassfishing.net or call (954) 445-1811 for further information on Peacock bass or largemouth bass fishing South Florida.

Florida Everglades Bass Fishing

It's been great bass fishing in the Florida Everglades over the last few weeks with catches averaging above 50 largemouth each time out. The water levels are dropping fast and the big females are about done spawning which makes the fishing great. Each year the Everglades goes through the same process of high water than low conditions which flush the bass of the grass flats of the Everglades. This process gives us great access to the best fishing of the year with the highest largemouth bass catch rate in the Unites States.

South Florida Peacock Bass (February 2011)

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. For more information or booking contact us at floridafishing@bellsouth.net or by phone at (954) 445-1811.

Florida Peacock Bass Fishing (February 2011)

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. For further information about Peacock Bass or Largemouth Bass fishing or booking a trip contact me at my phone at (954) 445-1811 or by e-mail at floridafishing@bellsouth.net.

Florida Peacock Bass Fishing (January 2011)

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. For further information contact us at floridafishing@bellsouth.net or by phone at (954) 445-1811.

Florida Peacock Bass in Miami

Miami Peacock Bass fishing just keeps amazing me at how good it's been. We've been out quite a few times over the last month and have caught plenty of fish up to 4 lbs. Each time we catch usually between 15 to 20 fish mostly on live bait and few on lures. E-mail us for current fishing reports at floridafishing@bellsouth.net. or call (954) 445-1811.

Florida Everglades Bass

The Florida Everglades largemouth bass fishing has been good. With water levels dropping the bass fishing will get better daily. The water temperatures are cooling off now and the big females should start their pre-spawn feeding anytime. The male buck bass have never stopped biting all year. Call us for further information at (954) 445-1811 or e-mail me at floridafishing@bellsouth.net.

Florida Peacock Bass

Florida Peacock Bass fishing has been great lately. We've been out quite a few times over the last month. Each time out we've caught about 15 to 20 peacock bass mostly on shiners and some on lures. I've had clients from South Africa this month which is incredible. Last week Tim Gray caught this nice 4 lb. Amazon Peacock Bass in Miami.

Lake Okeechobee Bass Guide

Bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee is still quite good even though the water temperature is in the high 80's. We were out on Monday September 13, 2010 for a fun day of bass fishing. My fishing buddy and I landed about 12 largemouth in a half-day before the bugs and the heat chased us off the water. I landed this nice fish that is just shy of 5 lbs. on a senko on the east wall out of Clewiston.

Peacock Bass fishing South Florida

Last week I had Jim Hartenstein for about the fifth time along with his son-in-law Shawn from Nashville for a half-day. The guys landed 12 Butterfly Peacock Bass up to 4 lbs. all on shiners. The Miami canals are produced fairly well for this late in the summer. The best time is late spring through mid summer in South Florida for all bass species.

Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

South Florida Peacock Bass fishing over the last few months has been o'kay considering the hot weather. We were out twice the last two weeks and boated about 30 peacock bass up to 4 lbs. The slight winter kill has affected the number somewhat but these fish are rebounding already evidenced by all the 3 to 4inch fish I'm seeing everywhere. Here's a nice fish caught in the end of August by my honeymoon couple from California.

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.
