Friday 1-05 on White Pelican Lake
Now I know why they named it this. Our "snowbirds" are white pelicans! Pretty windy this afternoon, so I mostly trolled. Got 21 in 3 hours. Biggest about 3 pounds. Had a drag burner pull off right before it hit the surface .

1 bass today on my first cast with a zara spook. I have been fishing in the Florida Keys, so that was my first bass in a while.

I had a great day today! I caught 7 fish:
4 peacock bass on fly 1 peacock bass on zara spook 1 largemouth on fly 1 largemouth on a senko First, I tried out my new senkos that I got on ebay. First cast with it and first cast at the Christmas tree I sunk two weeks ago, and I caught a bass. Oh, Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree... Then, I went to one of my spots and the fish were stacked up. I lost a fish on a shad rap and got a little peacock on a zara spook. The fish that were stacked showed some interests, but were tough to cast to. After that, I saw a monster fish, apart from the others. I cast the fly rod a few times, and I hooked up. The line cleared and The fish went down and away. It got me around a branch. The branch eventually came up, and I got the fly line off. By that time, the fish got me in the weeds. A little bit later I got him up... 4 pounds 13 ounces on 4 weight Another picture. Eventually, I got one of the fish that was stacked up... 3 pounds 1 ounce Another picture Sometime in this, I got into another school of peacocks, and saw one of the biggest largemouth I have ever seen. It looked to be double digits. This wasn't the best day for numbers of fish. I fished for about 1 1/2 hours and can't wait until I can get back to the spot. |

Thanks. The peacock pulled a lot of drag on the 4-weight. It was just a few ounces shy of my personal best (which was on an 8 weight).
Keep Your Lines Tight and Your Fish Hooked! |

More peacocks today. I caught 7 fish today:
3 peacocks on fly 2 peacocks on zara spook 2 largemouth on zara spook I found the same school of peacocks that I got the 3 pound 1 ounce fish out of. First fish of the day... 1 pound 15 ounces on the 4 weight 2 pounds 1 ounce 2 pounds 3 ounces Then, I took a few casts with a zara spook, caught 1 little bass, and then this fish. I guessed the weight to the ounce. 2 pounds 5 ounces I figured that I would go to one more spot, even though it was around 5:45. I caught another little largemouth on the zara spook and then this fish. 2 pounds 2 ounces Less than 1 1/2 hours of fishing today. Tight Lines Everyone and Hopefully Your Thumbs Are Torn Up Too! |

I tie my own. A clouserlike streamer. Almost all the peacock and largemouth I catch come on the same type of fly.

6 largemouth on senkos today
4 pound 1 ounce largemouth bass on 10 lb test 20 1/2 inches Have any of you found that if you wait longer after you take the fish out of the water, the are shorter? I measured the fish right when it came out of the water and it was 21". I took pictures holding the fish, measured it again and it was 20.5". What do you guys think? Tight Lines everyone! |
