This week Devin Cole of Holitong, PA spent 4 days with us fishing for the mighty  Florida peacock bass. I had the pleasure of spending 3 of the 4 days with Devin in search of this hard fighting speices.

Devin is just recently starting to get into the sport of bass fishing and as his knowledge exspans so does his experiences. Devin replies, “I always wanted to catch a peacock bass.” So we gave him the chance to catch them in 4 separate locations and 4 different ways. All 4 areas were planed out with awesome results.

While some days are always better than others, but we all know (THAT’S FISHIN). I would say we boated 70 plus peacock bass in 4 days from 1 to 5 pounds. It really was a very exiting venture, Devin had such a great time he’s already planning another trip with his son anf friends in March.

We are looking forward to fishing with him again, it will be a blast once agian.

Good Fishin,

Capt Tony Massiello

  Today I  took out David Irving all the way from the United Kingdom(UK). The day started a little slow due to our first cold front of the year, once the sun broke it started to pick up rather quickly. It ended up being a very exciting day of

peacock bass fishing here in South Florida.

 David is an avid fisherman and once he figured out how the where biting there was no stopping him. By the end of the day, he boated 32 fish up to 4 lbs and a couple of really nice pictures to take back home.

What a great day on the water it was today, it was amazing how well David adapted to the Florida Peacock bass!

Tight Lines,

Proceeds From Celebrity Fishing Tournament Benefits Darrell Gwynn Foundation

The Darrell Gwynn Foundation and Outdoor Channel are teaming up to deliver a one-hour charity special for TV.

The program will showcase the foundation’s “Hot Rods & Reels” annual celebrity fishing tournaments, sponsored by Miccosukee Resort and Gaming, which bring together NASCAR drivers and their fans to fish for charity and the chance to win $1 million.

The TV special will capture the action of two Hot Rods & Reels tournaments staged during the Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 15 and the Daytona 500 Weekend at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 14.

Among the participating NASCAR celebrities:  Tony Stewart, Martin Truex, team owner Richard Childress and Darrell Waltrip. These men and other members of NASCAR will partner with an angler to cast  away for the biggest fish in infield lakes stocked with peacock and largemouth bass.

Proceeds from the events will benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, a Florida-based nonprofit that donates custom wheelchairs to children and young adults and advocates for spinal cord injury causes. The tournaments also benefit the Speediatrics pediatric centers at Homestead Hospital in Homestead, Fla. and Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Fla. Joining Miccosukee Resort & Gaming in sponsoring this event are Bass Pro Shops, Sprint, Hook & Tackle, Bass Online, Plano, and Triumph Headwear.

“This special blends two of our viewers’ favorite pastimes: motorsports and fishing.  It offers them the opportunity to get up close and personal with celebrity NASCAR drivers through our one-on-one interviews,” said Outdoor Channel COO Tom Hornish in a statement. “Additionally, Hot Rods & Reels enables us to expand our brand in the realm of motor sports and raise awareness for a remarkable non-profit organization.”

  Florida officials have agreed to new terms for a land deal with the largest U.S. producer of cane sugar to increase the availability of water storage and flow to the vast Everglades wetland. The new agreement, subject to approval by the South Florida Water Management District, includes the purchase of more than 180,000 acres from U.S. Sugar Corp. at a price of $1.34 billion. The agreement is a step down from terms announced in June, which included transfer to public ownership of 187,000 acres and all the sugar company’s assets, including 200 miles of railroad, a state-of-the-art sugar mill, sugar refinery and citrus processing plant for $1.75 billion.

…The new terms include a lease-back of the land for $50 per acre, for a period covering seven crop cycles. The sugar mill, refinery and citrus processing facilities, railroads, office buildings, equipment and the Gilchrist County citrus nursery will remain the property of U.S. Sugar.

…The 180,000 acres, one of the largest environmental land acquisitions in U.S. history, are needed by the South Florida Water Management District to protect Florida‘s coastal estuaries and better revive, restore and preserve the Everglades. The land will be used to reestablish a part of the historic connection between Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades through a managed system of storage and treatment areas. This is expected to reduce the potential for harmful discharges from Lake Okeechobee to Florida‘s coastal rivers and estuaries when lake levels are high.

  Recreational stakeholders and Environmentalists were pleased with the outcome of negotiations. … “This is just the shot in the arm we need to improve the health of one of America‘s most treasured, but troubled ecosystems. Floridians on both coasts will be able to say goodbye to damaging freshwater releases that foul up the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries, and the continuous abuse of Lake Okeechobee. Which has sat idled in the middle of all of this with a silent voice taking all of the abuse.
