South Florida Peacock Bass

Peacock Bass fishing in Miami lately has been good. Our fish are the Amazon butterfly peacock bass which get only about 10 lbs. at the biggest. South Florida is the only place in the United States where these species can be caught. We've had three guided trips this month and all were fairly successful landing a few close to 5 lbs. So if the Brazil trip is unaffordable for Peacock Bass consider South Florida to catch these unique species. Contact us below at floridafishing@bellsouth.net for booking a guided trip for largemouth or peacock bass.

The last few weeks in South Florida for Butterfly Peacock Bass has been good. Our water levels have dropped from all the summer rains and are now cooling off which should increase the fish activity. We had two guided trips and they were quite productive. Each trip we used mostly shiners and jigs. The peacock bass usually run a little larger this time of year. I've seen quite a few large males swimming with females already. The water temperatures in the high 70's usually mean great fishing and spawning. It's great to see these big fish still swimming shallow in these canals. For more information about fishing South Florida e-mail us at floridafishing@bellsouth.net or call me at (954) 445-1811.

Peacock Bass fishing in South Florida is still great despite a lot of heavy thunderstorms lately. We were out today with Dan Paszynski from Poland who now resides in Boca raton, Florida. Dan and I put 26 peacock bass in the boat up to 5 1/2 lbs. with two more that were 4 lbs.

Just a little reminder that South Florida has the best fishing I've ever seen. We were out over on the southwest Florida coast last week to try tarpon fishing for the first time. I know this has nothing to do with amazon peacock bass fishing but I had to share this adventure with my readers. My first tarpon weighed 160 lbs. and took my 45 minutes to land this beast. If you can't make it to the Amazon in Brazil to catch the mighty Peacock Bass I think South Florida can fill in the need to catch BIG FISH!

Would anybody like to catch peacock bass 2 to 3 times this size? How about 10 to 20 per day per angler? Well South Florida doesn't have them that size, but we do have is a great Peacock Bass fishery in Miami. Brazil fishing from March through August is usually slow because of high water. As water levels drop the fish are flushed out of the flooded jungle and become easier to target south in the Rio Madeira river. Then as the season progresses the camps and yachts move north into Rio Negro and it's tributaries. But in the mean time South Florida Peacock Bass fishing has been great and getting better each day. Today Hugh and Ruth Spegiel were out fishing with us and boated 38 peacock bass to 4 lbs. Thursday we're heading back to try for more great Miami fishing!

Peacock Bass Sports Show

The Peacock Bass display at the Chicago sports show went over quite well. Our booth drew much attention with the 15 pound Peacock Bass on the table. I was there to represent River Plate Outfitters in the Amazon deep in the Brazilian rainforest. Hundreds of interested peacock bass fisherman visited our booth and we hope to see many bookings over the next few months. Peacock bass fishing in the Amazon usually lasts about 9 months from July through March before the heavy rains spread the fish through out the jungle making the fishing impossible.

Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing Bookings

Booking trips to the Amazon for Peacock Bass can be risking and rewarding for outfitters and their respective agents. Peacock Bass fishing is solely dependant upon low water levels that don't flood the jungle. Make sure while shopping around for outfitters your agent fully explains what may take place. In many instances you'll be offered to reschedule your trip which will make a much more pleasurable fish catching experience. Your better agents and outfitters are looking to please peacock bass fisherman on their first experience in the Amazon. My first trip to Brazil was quite enjoyable but the fishing was lousy but I didn't have to pay for the trip either. A full paying customer would be highly disappointed at the experience as far as the fishing was concerned. My outfitting company was so good that they offered me an all expense paid trip again, the problem is the airfare isn't cheap! But if that's all I have to pay I consider that a bargain! Just remember to discuss these situational problems with your agent/outfitter before booking to fully understand the fishing conditions for the times of year your considering traveling to the Amazon. Then you'll be aware and will probably come back year after year to enjoy the awesome power of the Amazon Peacock Bass.
