Went to hagg lake yesterday, we got skunked. I'm going again today.

JRL · 03-30-07, 12:55 PM

How do you retrieve your fly? Im guessing fast if Peacocks are hitting it.

islandflyfisher · 04-04-07, 10:39 PM

13 fish today:
12 peacock on fly
1 largemouth on spin

I got an awesome replacement fly rod today! I am glad I had it!

I started off today in a school of smaller fish. This is the 1,000 peacock/largemouth I have caught in the last 316 straight days of catching a fish!

Check it out at http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishin...727#post151727

I continued fishing...

2 pounds 14 ounces

2 pounds 8 ounces

2 pounds 14 ounces (different fish, but same weight)

3 pounds 13 ounces - 19 inches

I took some other pics today. Thanks for the idea JRL.

islandflyfisher · 04-04-07, 10:40 PM

JRL, it varies greatly, but I do find that a lot of fish like it being moved fast.

texasbasser · 04-04-07, 10:49 PM

Went out today to walk the dog and took the flyrod for a quick toss.. got one 6 inch bass that my dog wanted to lick so bad lol, and a small bluegill.

Nice peacocks island! great shots too.

islandflyfisher · 04-05-07, 06:39 PM

I caught 3 today:
2 largemouth on fly
1 peacock on fly (18 inches but I didn't take a picture)

This is the second biggest largemouth I have ever caught on fly, and my biggest on a 4 weight fly rod.

3 pounds 2 ounces

19 inches

Nice! What did you catch it on? Did you weigh it?

BassMoJo · 04-05-07, 07:51 PM

Terminator spinner 5 lbs 3 ozs

JRL · 04-06-07, 08:00 AM

Nice pics! Ive noticed a lot of schooling going on with peacocks lately.

And whats with the wierd coloring on that small peacock? Is it a speckled?

That is just how some of the little peacock are colored. Speckled Peacock have a certain type of black mark on their head. I saw a monster peacock yesterday. Hopefully I can put my dad on that same fish today.

ILfishinman · 04-06-07, 04:34 PM

island what kind of flies do you use to catch bass? only ones ive used were dry flies, smaller ones, also tie some myself, not very good tho.

islandflyfisher · 04-06-07, 10:54 PM

I fish with streamers mostly. To tell you the truth I don't catch to many big bass on fly. That 3 pound 2 ouncer is my second biggest ever.

I caught a largemouth on spin and a peacock on fly today. I guided my dad to 4 peacock on fly after he got off home from work.

texasbasser · 04-08-07, 07:43 PM

Went to Amistad and fished in horrible conditions.. 35 degrees with rain, dad got 3 dinks.

islandflyfisher · 04-12-07, 09:20 PM

4 today:
2 peacocks on fly
2 largemouth on spin

4 pound 11 ounce peacock on 4 wt

2 pounds 12 ounces

texasbasser · 04-12-07, 09:22 PM

very nice fish island! how long is your flyrod?

islandflyfisher · 04-12-07, 09:33 PM

I use a couple different fly rods in freshwater. I have two 4 weight fly rods (one is being repaired). One is 6' 6" and the rod I caught that fish on is
7' 6". The rest of the fly rods I use, salt and fresh, are 9' long. I like the feel of a shorter rod with the lighter line weight.

texasbasser · 04-12-07, 09:45 PM

hmm ok, My 5 wt is a 9' long rod

islandflyfisher · 04-13-07, 07:27 PM

2 peacock on fly today

The biggest of the day at 3 pounds 12 ounces

This is the biggest bluegill I have ever caught. It ate a crankbait!
It fought pretty well for its size. I thought it was a little peacock or a mayan.

hackattack · 04-13-07, 08:29 PM

hit the local pond today and caught the first anyone has caught out of it this year. 3.36 lbs by the fish calculator
length-17.25
girth-12.5
Watermelon candy strike king zero

K-Driz · 04-13-07, 11:36 PM

Jeeze Islandflyfisher, that bluegill is a beast!!!! Wondering if that's a coppernose bluegill b/c I was looking at the bluegill from my Ichthyology textbook at the sunfishes in KY and there's nothing like that around here, but I read that there are 3 subspecies of bluegill in Florida. I bet you slay those things during the spawn though. Good work on those fish and keep 'em coming!

texasbasser · 04-13-07, 11:39 PM

Island, I caught a Bluegill about the size of that on a 6" WACKYRIGGED senko today in the mouth, thought it was a bass when it hit.. they sure do get forocious.

islandflyfisher · 04-14-07, 02:48 AM

My friend got a monster bluegill, not quite as big, last time I went in my boat. It also came on a crankbait.
My dad caught a 9 1/2 incher on fly last week, too. I went back to the same spot a day or two later, and there were a bunch that size swimming around. They are really coming around down here, not that I target them.
All three came from different spots.
I wish I could see a picture of that texas. lol

Hopefully I can get some sleep now.

islandflyfisher · 04-14-07, 09:50 PM

8 today:
7 largemouth on spin
1 peacock on fly

3 pounds 9 ounces - my fourth fish ever on a shakey head

islandflyfisher · 04-24-07, 08:35 PM

Yesterday I got 6:
4 peacock on spin (one was 19 inches, but no pic or weight)
2 largemouth on spin

Today I got 5:
3 largemouth on spin
2 peacock on spin

Today's biggest: 4 pounds 1 ounce - 19 inches

I saw this snake, too. I am pretty sure it is a water mocasin.
