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.

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.

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.

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.
