 From Canada to Sunny South Florida! While it is the frosen tundra back home in Canada, everyone received there fear share of the South Florida Sun today!
Trevor Matthews a successful film producer from Canada always takes time to visit South Florida during the holidays with family and freinds. As part of there yearly adventure we get to entertain them on the water and at the same time let them work on there tans.

As you can see by the picture above, there was fun and laughter all day. A total of 7 people, they took out 3 of our finest boats for an adventure in the Everglades for the Florida largemouth bass. As ussal the Everglades did not disapoint anyone, while the over all size of the bass were down in size the numbers were not. The three boats catching a total of 106 largemouth bass in just 4 short hours and we ended the trip with an exciting alligator feeding that was fantastic to say the least.

Today I had the pleasure of taking out repeat customers from Wellington, Fl. Gene Holland and his nephew Eric from Colorado. Gene really wanted Eric to catch a couple of Florida peacocks today, I said, “I will do my best, the water temperatures dropping in the winter months it slows the fishing down sometimes.
On this day, the winter winds could not keep us from catching peacock bass today. By the end of day we had 20 peacock bass and 5 really nice large mouth bass. While the weather continues to change as winter is here, go fishing…there are no bad days and remember the fishing still have to eat!
Looking forward to seeing Gene again in February.
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

 South Florida Snakehead Fishing Today we had the pleasure of going after a new exotic fish called the Snake-head.
We started the day searching around, as the day went on we found the type of cover the snakeheads where holding in. By by the end of day we caught over 15 snake heads all on topwater. Let me tell you, if you are looking for a strong fighting fish you may want to try fishing for the snakehead. They jump straight out of water and are always trying to shake your hook.
Fishing for the snake head is a blast!

 Bass Fishing in the Florida Everglades Today I had the pleasure of Bass fishing in the Florida Everglades and taking out Scott and Richard Garrison from Scottsdale, AZ. Richard now lives in California.
They met me early morning to head out for a day of fishing in the Everglades. We got out on the water and started to throw top water baits. We caught a few on top-water, but that bite wasn’t really good do to the water temp being in the low 60’s. We then changed to plastic and started catching fish consistently throughout the day.
We ended up catching around twenty five fish up to four pounds, it was a good day for bass fishing in the Everglades today!

 Peacock bass fishing in Maimi, Florida Today I had the pleasure of fishing with repeat customers of mine Jim Cain from Cahokia, TN. They have been fishing with me for the last four years and it’s always great to see them. We went out to seek the mighty peacock bass today, so we headed to the Miami area due to the resent cold fronts. It always good to move further south for the warmer water.
Fishing today was good, but you had to work hard to catch them…it’s called fishing to most of us, in most case it makes the reward of catching them that much better. James and Jamie caught peacock bass, a tarpon, a snook and a big jack. All of these were caught on one fishing trip today!
Thank you for the good time guys, looking forward to seeing you again…

Studies show snakeheads do less harm than generally thought
Chronicle News Services
Snakehead always worries fisheries managers.
MIAMI — Marty Arostegui forked a white fillet from his plate, dipped it in sweet Thai chili sauce and took a bite.
“One of the finest fish I’ve had,” Arostegui, a retired physician, said.
Arostegui, who has caught and eaten seafood delicacies everywhere from Suriname to Thailand, had bagged this dinner the previous day in a narrow, muddy weed-lined canal that runs along a busy highway in North Lauderdale, Fla.
He served it to his family and three guests in his elegant dining room, along with white rice and salad. Everyone pronounced the entree delicious.
It was a 4½-pound snakehead — a slimy, ugly freshwater fish native to Asia that has been the scourge of fisheries managers from Florida to New York to Arkansas for the past eight years.
Despite poisoning and draining ponds in northeastern states and making possession of the live exotics a criminal offense, snakehead populations are slowly spreading from water bodies, where it is believed they were deliberately released.
Paul Shafland, who heads the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s nonnative fish lab in Boca Raton, said the bullseye snakehead — the only one of 25 snakehead species detected in Florida — is found mostly in north Broward’s C-14 system.Shafland said. “If you catch them, eat them. Don’t release them.”
But so far, the pesky exotic hasn’t turned into the environmental disaster that some predicted.
Early results from the FWC’s most recent electrofishing study in the C-14 - (stunning fish with a mild electrical charge so they can be examined) — shows that although snakeheads are abundant, they are not destroying populations of largemouth and peacock bass — the two main gamefish species in South Florida lakes and canals.
Examining the stomach contents of 127 dead snakeheads, they found the remains of 13 of their own species plus one bluegill, 11 mosquitofish, seven warmouth, two peacock bass, several lizards, bufo toads, small turtles, a rat and a snake.
No remains of largemouth bass were found.
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

The debate over whether to set speed limits on Palmetto Bay canals continued.
BY PATRICIA MAZZEI
Last month, Palmetto Bay officials listened to people who live on village canals complain about loud, speeding boaters. Set a speed limit on the waterways, they asked.
On Monday, council members heard from the other side — villagers who said they moved to Palmetto Bay to could enjoy the water. Their plea: Protect our lifestyle.
”We spend our weekends on the canal,” Rainer Schael said. “We fish, we ski, we play.”
The village is considering designating the canals as minimum-wake and slow-speed zones, requiring boaters and skiers to move slowly through the waterways. That is a change from the original proposal before the council in November, which would have set a more stringent no-wake zone requirement.
Canal users ignoring the rule could be cited — the waterways equivalent of a speeding ticket on the highway — by state, county or municipal officers, including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which has some jurisdiction over the canals.
The measure was proposed by former Vice Mayor Linda Robinson and state Rep. Julio Robaina, who said they were reacting to ”years” of complaints from residents.
But it could keep people from water skiing, jet skiing and otherwise enjoying the canals, some residents said at Monday’s council meeting.
”This ordinance is absolutely crazy,” said Ryan Swakon, who said he boats, kayaks and wake boards on the waterways and nearby lakes.
The large, cigarette and commercial fishing boats residents spoke about last month could not fit through the canals, he said.
His father, Ed Swakon — president of the Miami Marine Council, a group that works to preserve boater rights — said boaters from outside the village were to blame for speeding.
”The people who don’t understand [responsible boating] won’t obey your law anyway,” he said.
Still, speeding boats threaten other people on the canal, other villagers said.
”I have been run up into the bank more than once,” said Henry Clifford, a kayaker. “I don’t like the idea of having to listen constantly if there’s a boat coming around the corner to nail me.”
Elected officials largely stayed out of the debate, although Vice Mayor Brian Pariser said he was concerned about people disturbed by boat noise.
Council member Shelley Stanczyk, who lives on a canal, said the waterways were built to prevent flooding. Boat traffic, she said, has decreased recently. But, she added, “you can’t ignore the fact that they do speed.”
The village will hold a town hall-style meeting to discuss the issue at 6 p.m. Jan. 14 at the Deering Estate Visitor’s Center, 16701 SW 72nd Ave. It will then take up the measure for a third time, probably in February.
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

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.”
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
