Went to wolf lake today and got skunked. Really wanted to catch a peacock. Saw a couple but couldn't get them to bite.

The water there is so blue/clear there, its nice when you are in the back area and you see a fish hit your bait from way down. I watched a bass come out of no where and eat a crank bait. I was amazed. I think thats the clearest water I have fished locally besides in the ocean,

 

I actually caught my 1st pea there after about 20 years of not catching one, annoying a male with a kvd 1.5. I went back and caught a few on top water spooks(kvd sexy dawgs). Those pine needles can be a pain tho on the declines. I can note countless times of almost sliding into the water. I remember taking my girl there and she was terrified of the thought of snakes, then she saw lightning and was arguing with me to go back to the car. I think we made it to the car within 3 seconds of being soaked in monsoon rain.

 

The last time I was there it was it was cold, there was a huge snake in the water baking in the sunshine near the shore and a goose that wanted to attack the car...wasnt a good day for fishing. I haven't been back since.

When I first moved to Delray there were no peacocks behind my home, a year later I caught a few small ones for the entire season.  Year after that the peacocks almost rivaled the LMB in numbers caught and started to get some size too.  Over the last year or so I've caught peas in Delray maybe 4 miles from where I live, just a matter of time until they are in my backyard again.
