TOP TIER LARGEMOUTH/PEACOCK BITE.

May 24, 2025 West Palm Beach

The everglades bass fishing has been absolutely amazing. Some of the best bass fishing i have personally seen in all of my years. My last 15 trips have been nothing less than amazing with tons of fish being caught in the 5-7lb range with reports of some 8-10s being had as well. These fish are being caught on artificial lures including frogs, big worms, jigs and more. Also as this heat sets in on the everglades and the ida/osborne chain these peacocks are finishing up with the spawn and they are STARVING as you can see we are getting some big bites and thats just a few of the pictures the peacocks are fired up. The clown knife fish and snake head bite has been slow but we are still getting them here and there.

This was easily one of my best fishing experiences! I booked a solo half day trip last minute and it could not have gone any better. Captain TJ’s communication leading up to the trip was perfect. His hustle and years of experience are evident in his operation. I will definitely be fishing with him in the future.
