Seasons & Species Information

Florida Largemouth Bass

Description - The largemouth bass is the largest member of the sunfish family. It generally has light greenish to brownish sides with a dark lateral line which tends to break into blotches towards the tail. Often confused with smallmouth and spotted bass, it is easily distinguishable because the upper jaw extends beyond the rear edge of the eye. Also, its first and second dorsal fins are almost separated by an obvious deep dip, and there are no scales on the soft-rayed second dorsal fin or on the anal fin.

Season - Largemouth Bass also is a year round fishery, your best odds of catching a lunker bass are between November through March during the spawning season.

Florida Peacock Bass

Description - The body shape is similar to that of a largemouth bass. Body color is generally golden with three black vertical bars and a black spot with a silver halo on the caudal fin but have highly variable color patterns. In older fish, the bars tend to fade and may be completely absent in fish larger than 3 pounds.

Season - Florida Peacock Bass fishing is a year around fishery so you can plan a trip for anytime of the year. If you asked what is the best time to come, the answer would be between the middle of February to the end of May. During this time of the year you will have the best chance at a large butterfly peacock bass.
