Help In Florida

[drew4779]

I'm going to be in naples next weekend and will have the opportunity to fish 1 day. Any advice of where to go?

Should I make the journey to okeechobee?

Is there any peacock fishing close by?

Any recommendations on lure selection or what the bass are relating to?

Any help will be much appreciated.

No peacock fishing in that area. You'll need to drive over to Dade county to really get into Peacock area.

If you're willing to make the trip, Okeechobee is always fun. I'd invest in a guided trip to make the most out of your day. It's a bit of a trip from Naples. Could be worth it though.

So. Florida Bass addict is 100% correct go south young man, the further the better for peacocks. Spend the bucks and get a good guide. Okeechobee has been good recently, hire a guide if you go.

This is correct. I've caught peacocks out of golden gate canal. Not giants but still fun.

There's also a park in Naples with a small

Lake or big pond. I've never been there but it looks like it has plenty of bank access.

Lake Trafford just out of Naples has recently been cleaned up from decades of being clogged by weeds.  They have reported bass upwards of 9#'s this summer.  Its a lot closer than Lake O and has less boat traffic.
