peacock bass fishing

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Today was another good day of peacock bass fishing with Elmer Branson from Louisiana. Elmer drove all the way down from Orlando, Florida today, just to go out and do some serious peacock bass fishing. When we met up I told him he was going to get his arm ripped off today, he laughed and said, “I’ve heard that one before.” He just laughed with me when we started in the canal system, he could not imagine fishing like this!

I was a little concerned once we started fishing, as it was a little slow at first. The water had dirtied and made the areas much harder to fish. But as the day went on and we moved around to different locations the peacock bass started to come up to the shorelines. Now the fight would begin, we caught a mess load of fish from 3 to 5 pounds. Elmer was surprised at how hard the peacock bass fights, especially because he fishes for small-mouth bass.

When it was all said and done, Elmer turned and said, “my arm does hurt a little from fighting these fish, but is still attached” as we both laughed mostly about the ones that got away!

Looking forward to seeing Elmer in 3 months again.

See ya real soon,

Day two with the Rinaldi Family

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Day two with the Rinaldi Family was a adventure, it started off in the Florida Everglades . Which turned out really bad , “I know fishing guides are not suppose to say that, but tell the way it is,” The recent rains from tropical storm fay have just got the bass in the Everglades all spread out with all the water that has fallen.

When we got to our first location, I saw immediately how much the water has came up in the Everglades. So, I said “I have something better then the Everglades right now.” We headed to a private lake that we have and ended up catching really nice bass, “like the one in the picture to the right!”

We also had a fantastic day of peacock bass fishing and few tarpon which the boys had a great time with and so did I. It was great to watching everyone, especially the boys catching fish all day long.

Thanks once again to the Rinaldi family, the trips just seem to keep getting better!

See ya real soon,

Lake Okeechobee water level returns and so do the Trophy Bass!

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Trophy Bass on Okeechobee

Lake Okeechobee is back up and looking better then it has in many years. With over 14ft of water the fishing is getting better then it has in years. The growth of vegetation is endless, and the sightseeing is better then I have ever seen it.

This 10lb-4oz bass was caught yesterday, an example of what is the foreseeable future for Lake Okeechobee fishing. We are so excited for this season to come, if these type of fish are being caught in the middle of the summer there’s no telling how good it could get come the winter during the spawn.

Got to go now, lots of new water to research!

Peacock Bass Fishing with the Goldstein Family

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Peacock bass florida Florida peacock bassPeacock bass fishing in Miami

Today I had the pleasure of taking out David Goldstein of Parkland, FL. David was scheduled to go possibly large-mouth fishing, but do to all the high water from the tropical storm I suggested that we go fishing for the mighty peacock bass.

They were really wanting to trying something new, so we went to the urban canals of Miami where I knew the resent rain water wouldn’t effect us nearly as much. It turned out to be a awesome decision and day of fishing, they boated 20+ peacock bass in just 4 hours. David and his son where great guys and fun customers to be with.

David and his family are local South Florida residents, so I look forward to fishing with them in the near future.

Great job guys see ya soon.

Everglades Flats Fishing for Largemouth Bass

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Today I took out Brian McCully and his girlfriend from Wallingford, Pa. Brian wanted to experience the Everglades flats fishing, so of we went way out in the everglades flats. Brian was mostly interested in try to get top water bites, so I we tied multi able different buzz frogs and some hollow body frogs as well..

Right at the very beginning Brian’s girlfriend had a “big” bass try to grab her buzz frog. This fish kept trying to get her bait all the way back to the boat, when it saw almost at the boat it turned and swam into a clump of weeds. Everyone got to see the fish turn and swim away, I would be guessing that it would have went 8 to 9lbs. The rest of the day was kind of slow but they wound up boating 5 or 6 largemouth bass.

With all of the recent rain the water came way up. I think once things stabilize out there the bite will be red hot in the flats!
