On day 3 due to the moon cycle the fishing slowed down a little, we were still catching a lot of little fish, but only in the one and two pound class.

 We moved around a lot and had to cover a lot of water, our bigger fish came right at sunset and that’s when Phillip caught this nice peacock bass on the 4th day. I asked Phillip if he wanted to fish his first tournament and he said, yes so we are off to fish Lake Okeechobee tomorrow.

This week we had Joe and Athena Mitchell from the Bronx in New York fishing with us, I had the pleasure of spending the last 2 days with them. Day 1 with me we went down to Miami for the hard fighting peacock bass.

This couple are long time repeat customer and a blast to fish with, we had a pretty good day boating about 16 peacock bass. Right at the end of the day Joe hooked into a tarpon that was about 25 to 30 pounds, he got to fight this fish for about 5 minutes. Just when the fight was about over, the line nicked the prop on the outboard and  broke off.  The tarpon jumped 4 times and gave us a great aerial show.

On day 2 we went to Lake Ida to do something a little different. The day started of hot and ended pretty good, they boated 25 fish with a 6 pound kicker large-mouth bass. I think this was Joe’s personal biggest bass ever!

I’m looking forward to seeing them again in March, maybe Joe can break his record again.

 Today I had the pleasure of taking out some repeat customers from Cooper City, Florida. John, Grampa Rod and little 5 year old Ethan. 

These guys have been just about everywhere with me, so I told them lets go to a diffrent spot this time around. I beleive we can catch more peacock bass and better quaility. We were only fishing for 4 hours today, so we went close by the Bait and Tackle shop. In this 4 hour trip we caught close to 30 peacock bass up to 4 pounds.

Ethan said, what a great day!

Well all I can say for Phillip and I went out to search new water in search of the hard fighting Florida Peacock Bass and had an excellent day of fishing. Catching large mouth bass as well as Peacock bass on this day. I managed to get Phillip his largest bass ever and his first ever Peacock bass as we caught more bass then he had ever caught.

 Most of the areas were good fishing, but when you found running water fishing became really good. We did have rain fall most of the day, with a point where the rain blow sideways for a while. We found everything had to do with water conditions and the fish could be caught if you made the right adjustments, all of the largemouth and peacock bass today were caught on artificial lures only!

  What another good day for fly fishing in the urban canals for Peacock bass. Today, I took out Spencer and his wife Donna which were from Kansas. We started our day of throwing some custom made flies that look like the exotic species in our lake and canal system which the peacock bass really like to feed on. We had a few follow ups but no takers to start off with, finally we changed to a fly that Spencer ties and boy did the fish really like that one. Bye the way Spencer, thank you for the flies you gave me they will get well used. Donna was also really good at fly fishing they both caught peacock bass as the picture above shows.

Can’t wait to have these two back again!

 WOW…is the first words that come to mind when describing this trip, I think the picture puts it all in perspective!

Dave Harmond from Palm Beach had family in from England for the pass two weeks and have been Florida fishing with very little success. Dave got referred to us and called wanting to get the family out “catching” fish, as they were leaving town the following day.

Dave brought his father, brother-in-law and his two kids out on two of our boats for a super-half (6 hours) day of fishing. I explain to Dave about the fishing conditions and what was going to be needed, he then explained to me that his dad and brother-in-law were avid fishermen, but the rest of the family had never fished at all.

With that in mind I decided to take the kids and brother-in-law, while Capt Tony took Dave and his father. The day started out right on time and quite well for Tony and his crew with about 10 fish in the boat with in the first hour are so. Mean while I realized it was not going to be as easy with my crew, giving credit to those guys they were much more experienced and the technique we were using was a little difficult for beginners to pickup on right away. But as I have away said, this is what being a excellent fishing guide is really all about, so I continued to support them as I nodded my head and laughed as another fish got away.

I then decided to yelled out, let the challenge begin. They replied, what are talking about? A friendly competition among us, as I explained and the youngest that had never caught a fish in his life, but is very active in Football (Soccer in England) said okay. The game worked, there competitive spirit seem to take over and at the same time take the focus away from needing to catch a fish, to wanting too.

I think sometimes we can just simply try to hard and goof things all up. It seem like just minutes passed by and they started catching bass, one by one, we worked together. Wouldn’t know it, that Trever the youngest, would catch the most bass and anchors his 10 bass with a 7lb large-mouth bass, the biggest fish of his life and the day.

When it was all said and done, both boats boated over 50 bass a combination of largemouth and peacock bass and again I thing the picture is worth a thousand words.

 Today I had the pleasure of taking Jim Hammer out fly fishing for peacock bass. We started off in some remote canals fishing against the sides of the canal banks, it was a little slow until the sun started rising. As we moved around a lot by the end of the day, we had 22 peacock bass on flies.

What a good day it was!

  Today we had the pleasure of taking out a bachelor party for a Florida freshwater fishing excursion. With the storms in the area, they did not want to risk an offshore fishing trip and have it spoiled by large seas and no fish. So, they called us with the idea of hosting there bachelor party for 7 people guys who love to have fun. We suggested  with strong winds to focus on the South Florida canals, they agreed. They decided to hire three of our guides to go bass fishing for the day, so Capt Brett , Tony and Bobby decided to take them to Lake Ida in Palm Beach County.

 What can we say that the picture doesn’t, other then these guys ended up “stroking” the peacock bass, there group ended up catching over 70 peacock bass. As they said, it would of never happen like this offshore!

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 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,
