Today I had the pleasure of doing an afternoon trip with Karl and Brad two brothers which were down for 4 days to have a good time and catch lots of bass. Capt Tony had them out for the first three days, they had such a great time they decided last minute to go out on there final day. Capt Tony had a return customer coming in for a full day and could not accommodate them, the office looked over the schedule and suggested that they try the afternoon bite with me.

They decided to go in the afternoon after when I finish my morning trip. I picked them up at a local hotel, it was quite rainy, I was not sure of how fishing was going to be because of the rain. They were not concerned about the weather, off we went looking for the afternoon bite. I have to admit, I was excited as they were. I really like the late bite, it just seems I always do good and on this trip it was no different.

Not sure if it was the weather, but both managed to catch a couple of nice fish in the four pound range and managed to catch up to 40 fish in a short afternoon. These guys could really fish and we were appreciative to have them!

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Fishing in the South Florida Everglades

Today was a slow day on the water for the Florida Everglades standards, but we managed to make it a really good day of fishing.

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with John Smith from Canada . John was very good at fishing, he was able to work every bait I gave him. As the day went on, we talked about how the fish react to the cold fronts, how it can slow the fish down. John asked me for a certain (top secret) bait that he likes to play around with up north. I said, yes I do have those baits. So I put it on for him and he manged to get this nice 6 pound bass and missed another one around the same size.

It proves once again, a bass is a bass. Whether he lives in Florida or Canada!

John is fishing with us for two more days, so I am sure you haven’t seen the last of his pictures or stories.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Peacock Bass in South Florida

Today we had out Mike McLeod’s group of friends from North and South Carolina. Mike and his friends are a group of 8 or 9 that love the outdoors, fishing and hunting. They stayed up by the Lake Okeechobee area so they would be convenient to duck and hog hunting as well as the fishing.

Originally when they called, the group was looking to maybe fish Okeechobee, but after a short while on the phone and telling them all about the Peacock bass and all of the wildlife in the Everglades. They then

started planning a few more trips, including a peacock bass trip and Everglades fishing trip.

The plan was, each day a different group of guys would fish a different location. So, we started with fishing for peacock bass in the Miami area at a hidden little lake, as we call it “the honey hole.” As most of the customers look when we go to Miami. A little unsure of what to expect, so they all just went with the flow. We explained that the water temp needed to raise a bit as the sunrises over head, we tried to ensure them that the peacock bass would bite slow at first and slowly get better. With that look on there faces, like I told them “you should have been here yesterday.” We explained that this time of the year the peacock bass group up and that once we found one we would then fine, two, three and so on.

Lone behold that’s almost exactly how it happen, with two boats out today we had a lot of lines in the water. Our boat was the first to yell “fish on,” I heard it come from the rear of the boat and before I could look back we had one on up front a double. Lone behold the group of fish we were looking for, I quickly spin the boat around and proceeded to catch one after another.

We called the other boat over to get into the action, they started catching a few also. These fish were not schooling fish, but good size 3, 4 and 5lb peacock bass. We decided to move off these fish for a moment and let them rest, and started to troll some live bait, that’s when the big bite happen. From the center of the boat, straight to the back, out to the open water and up for everyone to see a 15lb Tarpon. Yes, I did say, tarpon!

We ended up fighting this fish for around 20 minutes, a great job of fighting this fish done by all. With, 20lb braid and a 10lb Mono leader I never thought this would happen. But as you can see by the picture it was awesome!

We ended up moving around throughout the day, catching several fish in the 5lb range. We ended the day with a flurry and great pictures and about 50 peacock bass between us. The boys are back tomorrow for adventure in the Everglades!

What great bunch of guys, old college buddies and really good friends!

I hope to see the guys again in the near future.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
