Peacocks are as far north as the north end of palm beach county. Theres been a LOT of confirmed catches in the C-51 canal (west palm beach canal). Lake Clark (a lake of the west side of the C-51). Lake Osborne and Ida (a chain of lakes on the south end of west palm). And the C-16 canal (boynton canal). And it goes without saying that the dade county canals are infested with them.

And during this years electro shocking tests the FWC shocked up a Peacock that weighed 9.06 lbs. 2 oz shy of the Florida record. That was in the Tamiami canal system.

Went out to Cypress Head today, caught 6 peacock on a double jointed rapala, fire-tiger color, and 9 on live shiners.

All over 3 lbs, biggest one at 8.

Do you know if there are any in the panhandle? I will be going to destin again this year, and staying at a resort with canals and ponds fishable.

islandflyfisher · 03-04-07, 06:45 PM

There aren't any in the panhandle.

texasbasser · 03-04-07, 07:52 PM

ahh man, guess im stuck with plain Largemouth

islandflyfisher · 03-04-07, 09:12 PM

16 fish today (not including a big mayan chiclad):
15 largemouth on shad rap
1 peacock on shad rap

The slight stop and then go technique worked very well once I started using it. The water was muddy, and I lost a lot of nice fish (2 pounders) due to short strikes on all retrieves.

Here was the biggest of the day at exactly 2 pounds

texasbasser · 03-04-07, 09:20 PM

nice bass! what is a chiclad?

islandflyfisher · 03-04-07, 09:53 PM

Sorry, it is chichlid. It is an exotic fish, similar to a peacock, but with a smaller mouth. They are considered a junk fish by most people.

Mayan Chichlids taste good. Anytime I catch them they go into the live well.

islandflyfisher · 03-09-07, 11:51 PM

My friend, thebassmaster123, and I went in a local lake on my boat yesterday.
I caught 9:
3 peacock on fly
6 largemouth on senkos/shad rap

My biggest of the day was 2 pounds 7 ounces.

His biggest of the day was 2 pounds 8 ounces. It busted on the top as soon as his worm hit the water.

pbnstevo · 03-17-07, 02:38 AM

How old is that kid...?

texasbasser · 03-19-07, 09:53 PM

nice, that last bass looks like he had a accident near his tail...

finally got out today from being grounded fo 1 month and a half! Just rained, water was highly unusually murky, you can normally always see 5+ down. caught 6 on crankbait, FF caught a 7 pounder on crappie jig fishing for crappie, 8 pound test ulrtalight. cell phone pics

When we start to get sunny weather and 90+ degrees, well see the 30+ bass a days.

islandflyfisher · 03-20-07, 03:39 PM

I didn't notice that until I saw the picture. I am not sure what could have done it.
That sounds like a great day.
You can still upload cell phone pics using photobucket.

texasbasser · 03-20-07, 05:17 PM

My problem is getting them to the phone to computer, im still trying to figure it out.

ILfishinman · 03-20-07, 05:37 PM

flbassman · 03-20-07, 08:18 PM

All very nice fish! Went out today, hooked a nice 5+ pounder, passed it off to my little bro, he brought it in. I'll put the pic up before too long. This thread is a good idea.

texasbasser · 03-20-07, 08:35 PM

yes it is..

went out today for 10 minutes because it started pouring rain and my mom wouldnt let me fish in it

caught 1 dink in that time though.

ILfishinman · 03-20-07, 08:36 PM

ill fish as long as there isnt lightning

hackattack · 03-22-07, 10:54 PM

Went to lake oswego, a private lake in oregon today. pulled my first fish of the year, a 3.56 lb largemouth on a zoom ultravibe speed craw w/ a 1/8 oz. jig head. Good start to the year for me...

I agree. I have had a really good day or two in the pouring rain. I like throwing a perch crankbait in those situations. I think it contrasts the color of the sky, and looks natural, like a baby peacock.

I got 9 the other day and had a rare bass/peacock shutout yesterday. Hopefully I can make up for it over the weekend.

texasbasser · 03-23-07, 08:53 PM

there was thunder and lighting starting in the distnace and coming near so I realy had no choice...

got 13 today all on beds... zoom green worm flipping into beds. biggest 6 pounds.

texasbasser · 03-25-07, 11:19 AM

went out today for an hour before thunderstorms made me head in. got 3 bass on a blue/black lizard all around 2 pounds and 1 4 pounder on a First Light Baits Jig i got from the WFT.

islandflyfisher · 03-26-07, 11:05 PM

2 today (not including 2 Mayans):
1 peacock on fly
1 largemouth on fly

It fought great on the 4 weight fly rod!

3 pounds 12 ounces - 20 inches

Two days ago, I had a monster 4+ pound peacock, but lost it in an instant. I found out why when I looked at my lure today. He straightened one of the treble hooks. That is some power! I change out my trebles and use saltwater grade ones so this won't happen, and the fish straightened it in literally a second or two.
