Peacock bass were introduced to South Florida back in 1984 with an extensive stocking project
to control exotic species of cichlids and tilipia. The peacock bass provides a great source of sport fishing opportunities
without having to travel deep into the Amazon. These butterfly peacock bass also exist all over South America and grow to
about 15 lbs. Unfortunately the South Florida record is about 10.5 lbs but could be broken anytime now. The Amazon has many
different species that grow to over 25 lbs. with 10 to 20 lbs. being the normal size fish you would expect in Brazil. South
Florida Peacock Bass grow regularly to about 6 to 7 lbs. and are similar to smallmouth bass from the northern part of the
United States. On light tackle these great fighting fish will test your angling skills. Peacock bass regularly hit the same
type baits we would use for large and smallmouth bass except plastic worm type baits. The most popular type baits we use are
topwaters,small jerkbaits,rattletraps,and many small jig type lures are the favorites. Small live shiner type minnows also
work very well in all conditions. Peacock bass give us plenty of options for catching them under many different water and
weather conditions which makes them fun for the whole family. Unlike largemouth bass, peacock bass are not as finicky which
makes them easier to get to feed especially on live bait. Our best season is usually from February through August, but these
fish will bite year round with regularity. So for some great Peacock Bass fishing in South Florida plan a fishing trip anytime
