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.

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.
