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. For more information on fishing South Florida for largemouth bass and peacock bass check out these great websites at South Florida Fishing and Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing. 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.
