The weather has been very temperamental, but the fishing has proven to stay true and steady. We are catching lots of nice sized fish. And the weather has been bearable with the clouds rolling through lately. If your looking to cross off those bucket list fish now is the time to book. We also dont let the rain put a damper on our plans when it rains weve been hitting the bridges and catching some bridge monsters.

Hello, everyone.Thanks for checking into my fishing report. As far as the weather goes, the weather has been very consistent. We have been having south Southeast winds with a mixture of rain coming through consistently for the past month and a 1/2 or so, and the peacock bite has been just as consistent. We've been catching numbers of peacock bass every trip as well as largemouth bass, clownknife fish, mayan cichlids, and hybrid bass. These fish are coming on freshly caught american shad under and around docks and bridges. We've had some water movement in the lake recently with all the rain and i believe it is setting up for a very good bite. Lets go catch some fish together.

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.
