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.

Robert Lopez and his cousin Robert from New York city were quite pleased to land about 20 peacocks for a half-day trip in late May. The winter fish kill has slowed down the numbers somewhat but we're still managing decent numbers considering. Next spring we should be fine because I'm seeing plenty of fry meaning the hatch was good. Peacocks muture quickly and grow at a rate of 10 inches per year!

South Florida Everglades Bass Fishing

Luis Rojas on Wednesday March 24, 2010 caught this beautiful 7 lb. beauty on the canals of alligator alley. Each week will only get better as water levels drop and heat up after this cold winter we've had. Everyday you can expect to catch between 50 and 100 bass if the conditions are right.

Peacock bass fishing over the last couple weeks has been outstanding in South Florida around the Miami area. We've had three trips and all these trips have produced quite well.

South Florida Peacock Bass Report 5-16-08

Shelly and Brian Vitiello from New Hampshire were down today for peacock bass fishing in Miami. Shelly sat on the beach all day yesterday and today's intense heat would only allow them a half-day trip before the sun was too much for their northern white skin. The couple boated 8 peacocks this morning and just as we were leaving the fish were turning on. Well maybe next time guys, Florida sun in the Everglades for bass and Miami for Peacock Bass can be brutal for those northern white skined fisherman! All of the fish caught today were on the small side but we never fished past 11:00 am when the bigger peacock bass begin to surface.

It was off to the Everglades again today. With no wind or clouds to break up the water we only managed 33 largemouth bass up to 4 lbs. even though we did see a few bigger fish swirl up on our baits! Everything was caught on plastics. With hot water and lowering conditions fishing should continue to stay quite good for the next two to three months. As long as we don't receive massive rain storms the water will drop more making bass fishing in South Florida fantastic! We've changed the front page format of the blog because of a guide service in South Florida who likes to copy things we do. We hope you like the new homepage blog and there shouldn't be any more confusion now on who we are!

Just more good South Florida Everglades bass fishing. Rainy weather and high water levels have slowed down the fishing somewhat but it's usually only temporary. Today I had a few local guys out for bass fishing off alligator alley and we boated about 8 bass to three pounds in a few hours of fishing. The young guys partied a little too hard last night to finish out the day as the fishing was really starting to pick up when the guys headaches were to much for the heat we were having! As the clouds and wind showed up so did the better largemouth bass.

South Florida Peacock & Bass Fishing Reports 2-5-08

It's been a great week for bass fishing and peacock bass fishing in South Florida. Lenny Sortino from Boston fished with us for 3 days. Lenny has been here for his third time. We fished Lake Ida and the surrounding canals for largemouth bass on day one. Lenny and I boated 20 bass up to 4 lbs. Day 2 and 3 Lenny wanted Peacock Bass in Miami and he boated 19 peacocks over two days of fishing. Peacock bass and Largemouth bass in South Florida will be biting great over the next few weeks if the weather stays warm. With hot weather peacock bass will start to spawn and be quite shallow and easy to catch. Warmer weather will also lower the water levels in the Florida Everglades here in South Florida causing the bass to retreat from the flats and be easy targets in the canals.

South Florida Peacock & Bass Fishing Reports 12-4-07

Today we were out trying out some new canals we've never fished before for Peacock Bass. With a little cold front coming through this morning the Peacock Bass were tough in the morning. As the day went by though the Peacock Bass became active and the pictures show the day we had. We managed 12 nice Peacock Bass up to 5 lbs. Not bad for our first time on this different system. All of these fish were caught with rattletraps in very shallow water. It's staying quite warm in South Florida which should heat up our bass and peacock bass fishing in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale lakes and canals. Lake Okeechobee and the South Florida Everglades bass fishing will improve now that our raining season is over with no threats of hurricanes!
