it's a "butterfly" peacock, they max out at about 12lbs. The big ones are the "pavones" and they are not found in Florida. the bait was a soft swimming bait.
What lure were you using brother? I am stocking my tackle box for when it gets warm again. I got some Rapalas and a Ratt-L-Trap. That fish you caught is a bit different color shades than the ones I catch. They are either dark green or something else. I have caught some with the 3 bars on the sides. I hope those are the ones that grow to mammoth size like in the Amazon!
That is a nice lake along with an awesome fish. I recently saw a school of Peacock bass of around 10-15 fish swimming together in the lake I go to. I go fishing about twice a week and got many many videos of my fishing. Check them out and see what you think. My personal best was a 20 inch Peacock weighing about 4-6 lbs. 5 stars.
Very nice my boyfriend and I have gone fish in Doral lakes and in few canals in Miami but have never caufgt a thing lol. Can you catch them at night or only in daylight? we use earthworms for bait
no earthworms..peacocks only will eat a bait that is moving very fast or that is disturbing their spawning areas...try live shiners with a bobber of some type, small size, they love em!
okay great to know . We have caught only talipia and channel cat fish with earthworms no wonder now we know. We are both new to fishing going to look into live shiners as bait store in area sells them by dozen thanks again
when you get the shiners...make sure you get a bait bucket with a battery operated airator or the shiners will die fast...also keep them in cooler water if you can, it keeps them much more lively.
thanks we have a 65 gallon plastic bin by side of house it gets filled with rain water that comes off roof as its opened top .I use that stored water to water plants Going to keep them in that ofcourse feed them fish flakes till we use a few
