Krzkev Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I recently was out on my lake, and it started to get dark. We were fishing for whatever, Largemouths and Peacocks, whatever we could get. We had only 1 nice peacock and around 10 nice bass nothing special, and as I said before it started to get dark out, and out of nowhere the peacock bite turned on and we caught 5 peacocks in a row one after another. I didn't think they were active after dark but I guess they are. Needless to say i was suprised. Has anyone else caught them after dark? Just wondering..... Here's the best one, she went 4.0lbs Quote

regretlove Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Nice looking peacock! I haven't caught any after dark, but here in our neighborhood lakes, we certainly have seen some great catches! I am curious too - what bait do you use at night? Quote
Krzkev Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 I happend to be using a white Chatter bait mini. It was wierd though I think I stumbled upon a school of them, because it was one after another, then they stopped, I don't think they usually bite after dark. I am curious to know how far north these fish have gotten, Just curious????? I think everyone would be suprised how far they have traveled. Quote
regretlove Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Hmmm... I don't know. Hey whereabouts in Fl are you? I have never been night fishing and am really interested - where do you fish? Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted April 3, 2008 Super User Posted April 3, 2008 This is for all you S. Florida people posting about these peacocks. I live in Lake Worth and am on vacation. I have a bass boat and know they have been catching plenty of peacocks in the Southern Blvd canal. If anyone wants to go, send me a pm. I usually put in at Lake Osborne. Quote
10_More_Minutes Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I really need to take a trip south. I would love to get into some of those peacock bass. Quote
regretlove Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Hey Bassn - we're neighbors! I am in Boynton Bch. - I haven't ever fished those canals, but like I posted earlier, my neighborhood lakes are full of peacocks - I plan on hitting Okeeheelee this wknd. with the kids before I head up to Tn. for Spring Break.
