Today I had Troy and Gaylyn La Fort from Louisiana, trying their luck with some Peacock Bass.
The couple had a great day catching several Peacock bass on small shiners. I feel much of my success comes from using # 1 Daiichi Red Bleeding Bait Hooks . I feel that the color red attaches the Peacock Bass , as like the many lure’s I use that have red in them. I also change out my treble hooks on my lures even for the Largemouth.
The Day started our with Gaylyn catching the first Peacock Bass, which she wouldn’t hold.
Troy started out his day by catching a 4 lb. Largemouth Bass that gave him a nice fight . See the great thing about coming to South Florida is you can catch both Peacock & Largemouth at the same time , and there is no other place you can do that.
Then Troy took charge and there was no stopping him as he put fish in the boat.
On this 3/4 day trip the couple boated 19 which were all released for the next angler, “YOU” to catch, this end another great day on the Water, with “The Hawghunter”, Capt. Frank Carbone

Graybar Group
The boys in both boats managed to land 30 peacock bass and 1 Mylan
All the fish were caught on small size shiners, the day started out with Kevin catching the first Peacock and the action continued the rest of the day.
Then Jonathan came on strong by catching the majority.
Then at the end of the day the boys got a nice double to end a perfect day.
A Nice Double
Peacock bass fishing is a year round fishery , and knowing where and the right patterns to use is the ticket in having a successful day on the Water with “The Hawghunter” , Capt. Frank Carbone. Good Fishin’.
With our busy season coming up during the Holiday’s I suggest you book your date’s early.

Today I had the privilege to service a couple of Army Vets, Jason Bates from Orlando and Mike Guadagnino from Tampa. The Guys had to fulfill their desire to fish for Peacock Bass.
Well, these Army Buddies had a ball catching 22 Peacock Bass and 2 Largemouth.
The day started out with Jason catching the first Peacock Bass. Then Mike put this nice largemouth in the boat.
Mike then landed his first peacock, a small one at that. Boy ! Jason didn’t let him off easy with that catch. Well, then after talking all that S:+*t. it was Mike’s turn , to get back at Jason with his Jason’s mighty Trophy.
Isn't it Cute 4 "
Then the fun began, as we found a honey hole and the boys took 13 Peacock Bass and one Largemouth out of. They even scored a double.
At the end of the day the duo caught their biggest and took several picture’s of their memorable Day on the Water with “The Hawghunter”, Capt. Frank Carbone
It’s Guys like Mike & Jason that give us the right to Fish in freedom ,” God Bless Amarica“
It’s all about having “FUN” and they did. Good Fishin’

On these two day’s Myself and my # 1 Guide, Doug Harris had the opportunity to fish not only with a Great guy , but a Great Florida Angler, and here is his Testimonial.
Frank / Doug
Just a quick note to thank you for a two day of fishing adventures, I had a great time on the water and your service is amongst the very few that can be considered a “Real Guiding Service”.
On day one Doug took Juan for some Florida Peacock Bass , and what a day it was. This Angler caught some nice Peacock Bass up to 4 lb. Juan caught his bass on Live Bait and also Artificial Lures.
The Weather was great and the bite was on.
At the start on the first cast, he caught a peacock bass and the action didn’t stop there. The sun was high and they were on top, most of the peacock’s were caught site fishing.
The Next day it was my turn to show Juan a good time and that I did. It was like two buddies fishing together. Juan caught all his Bass on plastic’s, mostly Gambler EZ Swimmers and other baits he brought along.
He landed some nice 5 & 6 Lbers. to top of his great day in the Glade’s. All the bass were caught swimming the baits through the pads, and then just hold on.
Right now The Everglades is doing very well with catching Big Bass. This season was a slow start , but it’s here now. So Give “The Hawghunter” Capt. Frank Carbone and his Guide’s a call for some South Florida top Water action.
Special props Doug Harris, he was spot on fish all day long and readily available to help with everything I may have needed during our outing; we laughed and caught tons of fish all day long (Even the weather was perfect!!!).
I truly look forward to go out again with you guys.
Sincerely,
Juan Mattos
Miami Florida.

In the past couple of weeks the Peacock Bass fishing has picked up, with the exception of one day when the cold front came through.
Rick Blom from Lakeland Florida proved that as he single handed caught 20 Peacock Bass most on shiners. Rick had 4 explosions on top water.
Nice Butterfly Peacock Bass
Rick’s biggest was around 4 Lb. and few more in that range, this was just a great day on the water and the weather was just right.
Next next Day I had repeat Client Charlie Horworth from Chicago. He opted to fish for Largemouth on his two days in Florida. This first day was a windy one, and made worming and using sanko’s a bit tough. With only 12 small Bass in the boat things were looking kind of grim, until an 8- 10 lb. Bucket mouth hit a 10″ Gambler worm deep. This monster launched out of the water went deep again and he came off. Never the less this got our blood going , so the next day we headed back to the same waters , but this time with shiners.
Nice way to Start the Day
The results were a lot different as Charlie started out the morning with a nice 6 lb. then fallowed up with a 4 LB.
Right now the water is still a bit high but the action is good as we are going into the pre-spawn pattern. With the Holiday’s upon us , and if your coming down to Florida book your date’s now and join in on the fun.
Well I wish everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving this year. I have a lot to be thankful for, because I became a Grandpa for the first time. A 6lb 5 oz. Keeper Stephen John born Nov. 7.
See you on the Water. Capt. Frank Carbone 954-325-1115
