Big peacocks are biting

The weather was perfect. She booked a four-hour peacock bass fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale with Fishing With Jake. We fish from 10 AM until 2 PM, and once the bait hits the water at the first spot, the fishing never slows down. I was a little worried when we arrived at the first spot because I saw a lot of weeds, and I wasn't sure how well my client would be able to cast past them. To my pleasant surprise, she cast just like a pro, and she was rewarded with every single cast with a stud Peacock Bass. In four hours, she caught over 30 fish ranging from 2 1/2 pounds to over 5 pounds. After we transferred all the pictures at the end of the trip and she told me that it was her best fishing trip that she's ever been on. There's nothing that I enjoy more than helping someone have an awesome experience.

Fishing With Jake has been incredibly busy over the last month and the reason why is because the peacocks are going crazy. Most of our 2 hour trips are averaging close to 10 fish per person per hour. The biggest fish that we have seen so far this summer has been about 6 pounds. Most of the big boys typically start coming out and bedding around August/ September so book now if you want to catch some big peacock bass in Florida.

Recently, while fishing for peacocks at some of our locations, we got lucky enough to catch some Bullseye Snakeheads that have been showing their ugly faces. They are a lot of fun to catch because they are really powerful. The average size of each snakehead that we've been catching is between 3 and 6 pounds.
