What a day Gary Rubin from Alabama had catching peacock bass in Miami. After all the rain we had the fishing was very slow in the morning. It wasn’t until 11:56 am before Gary finally landed his first Peacock Bass.
Then with in 5 minutes he hooked in a battle he never expected, a Trophy 6 lb. 2 oz. Butterfly Male Peacock Bass.

These fish turned on for him, even though he only ended up with 8 Bass, the smallest was 3- 3/4 LB.
Then on the last cast as we headed to the ramp he land another 5-1/2 LB. Every Peacock bass he caught was a beautiful Male.
If your ready to join in on the fun so am I. Give a call and see what you are missing.

The Big Bass action still continues on Lake Okeechobee. As shown in this report by Ontario’s Bill Apt his sister Judy who caught most of the Big Bass today, and Friend Kathy.
The start of the day was slow catching only a few bass. Then once the sun came up the action was non -stop.
The trio was catching mostly 2-3 lb. bass until Judy hooked into her “First” 10 lb. Trophy.

Judy could do no wrong , it was her day to shine. She also caught an 8 lb. 7 lb. 6 lb. amongst several others in the 3-5 lb. Range.
Then if that wasn’t enough , she busted her 2nd 10 lb. Bass of the day. Anglers go all their lives without catching a 10 lber. ,and this lady angler landed two in one day.
John came back with his biggest 6 lb.

Then Kathy answered back with her nice 5 lb. Bass.

These Canadian’s have a lot to go back to Canada with, stories, photo’s and memories. At the end of the trip and saying our Goodbye’s Judy, gave me one of the nicest compliments, ” Frank, You made my life” . The group all agreed that this was the bast fishing trip they had ever experienced and will be back for their third Outing.

What a banner day for Keith & Deb Maltais from N. J. Deb started the day off with the first of over 40 Peacock Bass caught on their Trip.
The couple caught fish at every spot we stopped mostly 2-3 lb. peacock bass.
Then once the sun came up bite got much better and fish got bigger.
As we moved into another area the action started again and around 11 am , it happened , Keith hooked into “Hawghunters’ 3rd biggest Peacock ever. His rod bent over the line started stripping and the chase was on. Every time this beast saw the boat he ran again and again.
Finally Keith after several minutes Keith boated this 8.1 lb. Male Peacock Bass.

Within moments Deb’s rod went down in similar fashion, but broke off, what a disappointment. Never the less the action continued , and now it was her time to shine. After a nice struggle , and wrists hurting, she landed her 5 lber. 
Today’s trip consisted of 6 fish over 4 lbs. 1- 5 and Keith’s Trophy 8 lb. Florida Butterfly Peacock Bass. The Peacock bass are hitting very well right now and “The Hawghunter”, Capt. Frank Carbone knows where to find them.
The only place to find them larger is the Amazon. My next trip is Nov. 10- 18, 2012 and I have ONLY 6 spots left if anyone is interested.
Today this couple from Jersey had a day to remember and for sure will be back again. Book “NOW” while there are still choice date’s left.
