First Peacock Bass Fishing
Peacock Bass are the hardest-fighting freshwater species that roam the waters here in Florida. Naples is a perfect place to enjoy your First Peacock Bass Fishing Trip. The Golden Gate Canal System offers excellent water for catching this exotic bass to be caught.
I had the pleasure of fishing with Kathleen and John, traveling from New York. They were coming down on vacation and wanted to add some Florida Fishing in the mix. It was going to be their first peacock bass fishing trip ever.
We went out on a quick 4-hour trip before the weather got nasty on us here in Southwest Florida. Water temperatures were holding at 76 degrees, which are nice conditions for bass fishing. Live bait was the most effective method on this fishing trip with domestic shiners.
Kathleen and John caught several-quality bass on this trip. They caught their first peacock bass and a largemouth bass. They also landed a bonus fish, a snook, in the boat. The biggest peacock bass weighed 4 pounds.
We focused on some structure that I knew they would be on. It was a great time on the water, and I look forward to fishing with them again.
