Deep Water Peacock Fishing

Cold fronts have plagued South Florida this season and winter months. One thing that it did not stop was the peacock bass from biting. Even though the fronts had an effect on the fishery, you just have to approach it with a different technique. When these occur, enjoy deep water peacock fishing.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Brad and Joe, a father son duo taking on Naples, Florida. Peacock bass was something they wanted to explore on the Golden Gate Canal. We made it happen and caught several quality bass.

Water temperature changes made the peacock bass move to deeper water. We had to grind to catch them. Slowing our presentation down and fishing the deeper water allowed and produced a bite.

Brad and Joe had some great action with doubles at times throughout their trip. They caught 15 peacock bass weighing up to 3 pounds. All factors considered this was an exceptional fishing trip. Domestic shiners were the most effective bait to catch them.

I am looking forward to fishing with Brad and Joe again on their next Florida Fishing adventure. Don’t miss out on your adventure next time!

Winter Peacock Bass Fishing

If winter conditions are bad across the United States, Florida also feels the effects. Warming trends have helped the peacock bass fishing here in Florida. Come enjoy a winter peacock bass fishing trip in Naples, Florida next time visiting the sunshine state.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Cody and Jake. They wanted to experience the Golden Gate Canal System in Naples while they were visiting on vacation. These boys were in search for their first peacock bass.

Conditions were not the best for peacock bass fishing but we made it happen. Cody and Jake caught 11 bass in their quick trip with several quality peacock bass in the boat. It is always awesome to put people on fish that they have never caught before. They even caught several nice largemouth bass.

Domestic shiners were the most effective bait to catch bass here on the canal system. They want to come back and experience more especially Lake Okeechobee. Florida is the perfect place to catch a variety of bass on different locations. Don’t miss out on your Florida Fishing adventure next time visiting!

Florida Fishing Ledges

The Southern Part of Florida holds many freshwater species that you can catch. Florida Fishing Ledges is incredible this time of year for Peacock Bass. Naples is a great place to visit to experience what Florida Bass Fishing has to offer.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Woody and his wife Kim. They were coming over to Naples, Florida to fish the Golden Gate Canals. We experienced Cold Front Effects on this trip but that didn’t stop us from catching multiple quality bass.

Our main focus was ledges and structure in the 8 to 10 foot range. Pitching wild caught shiners on these ledges allowed for a great bite. We also trolled shiners along them as well.

Woody and Kim caught several quality peacock bass. Most were in the 3 pound range. As the day warmed up, the bite got stronger.

On this fishing trip, the water temperature was 68. I am looking forward to fishing with them again in the future. Don’t miss out on your Naples Bass Fishing trip next time visiting the state!
