Looking For Peacocks In Broward County Area.

[Choosylobster]

Hey guys what's up? I want to see if you guys could give me some of your fishing locations for peacock bass in the broward county area. I live in plantation. If you guys want to send me some private messages I'll greatly appreciate it. I catch and release. Thanks again

I catch them occasionally in Broward.  The general rule is, the further south you go in the state the more likely you will catch peacock.  There are areas like the Ida / Osbourne sytem that have  good populations, but the bigger more populated Peacock areas are in Dade County.  The guides for peacock will more likely take you to the airport lakes in Dade County.  The earliest test stockings by the state, took place in a few land locked small lakes along the turnpike.  These probably hold some of the biggest fish.  The Snapper Creak canal system is full of them.  Behind the Falls Shopping Mall holds a good population.

Thanks for the reply Geo

Pembroke pines and Weston have P's in there water system.

I second Geo on that. I was just out on Ida/Osborne bank fishing and saw quite a few peas. Nothing to big but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. 

 

I've heard Markam Park has Peas and like gotfishyfingers said Pines and Weston do have em. In the canals find bridges or any type of post structure that goes into the water. Good chance to find some peas hanging around them.

just wet a line in pembroke pines, you'll find 'em just about anywhere out there.

Thanks guys I will try that out. Hey I'm looking to find a fishing partner in the Broward or Miami area. Let me know if you guys would like to go fishing. I do Bank fishing. Let me know. I normally go fishing by myself. Non of my friends like fishing.

I met a fellow a few days ago that is originally from Davie, now living in my area.  Told me one of his go to spots is Griffin and Flamingo, tarpon and snook as well as peacocks.  He does a lot fly fishing.

I've been to those areas, don't do it often being a little far for me.
