South Florida Bass Fishing 5-27-08

The bass fishing in South Florida remains great now until the heavy hurricane rainy season arrives. It's starting to rain now but as long as it's not too heavy the bass fishing will stay good. At Holiday Park just west of Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday May 27th we landed 64 largemouth up to 4 1/2 lbs. all on plastic baits. We will be fishing quite often over the next two weeks with many more fishing reports on the South Florida Everglades bass fishing and peacock bass in Miami.

South Florida Bass & Peacock Bass (May 2008)

May fishing in South Florida has been awesome so far for Peacock Bass and Largemouth Bass in the Miami canals and the Florida Everglades canal system. The first week of May we were out multiple times for peacocks and largemouth. On one trip to the everglades we landed about 45 bass to 4 lbs. and another trip a few days later we boated 33 bass to 4 lbs. also. We had three peacock bass trips and caught two trophy fish at 5 and 6 lbs. With the water levels dropping fishing will only get better each day until the heavy summer rains begin within the next two to three months.

We can be reached by e-mail at floridafishing@bellsouth.net for current fishing reports on the Miami & Ft. Lauderdale areas for both species of bass.

To start off the week of May 19th we landed 76 largemouth bass today in the South Florida Everglades. The water was clear and hot and very windy. Most of these fish were on the small side today but we had many bigger fish come up after our baits. Long casts are in order in these clear water canals this time of year. I bet we missed about as many and could of easily boated 150 or more. It's getting better daily buit shouldn't last much longer if this water doesn't cool down with a little rain.

South Florida Bass & Peacock Bass (April 2008)

It's been a great month of bass fishing in the Florida Everglades. We've been catching usually 40 to 60 bass per outing. Most of these fish have been caught on plastic worm style baits and no shiners. The key to catching these fish is waiting for the clouds and wind to pick up later in the morning or early afternoon. The water clarity is quite good this time of year and if you're using any surface type baits these fish will usually turn away from your presentation. Unusually long casts help to mask your boat from being seen. If your fishing deep with worms or senko's the long casts aren't as necessary.

We've had quite a few trips for largemouth bass this month with some of repeat customers for different parts of the country. A few highlight trips were Hugh & Ruth Spegiel from Tennessee and Scott Jungmichael and his buudy Chris from San Antonio, Texas. Hugh and Ruth in three days of fishing landed about 170 bass and peacock from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale canals. Scott and Chris had a great day catching peacock bass in Miami landing a 6 lb. and 5 lb. fish and totaling 26 fish for the day. Here are a few pictures to highlight a great May 2008 in South Florida.
