Trip Summary

Peacock Bass fishing across the Miami freshwater canal systems continues to produce steady action as late summer gives way to early fall. Recent trips have been producing consistent numbers of fish, including quality Peacocks in the 3-pound class and occasional opportunities at larger fish. Water temperatures have generally remained in the mid-to-upper 80s, with slightly stained conditions in many areas. We’re still seeing a mix of spawning and post-spawn behavior, so fish have been using a variety of depths throughout the day. Some have been shallow and visible, while others have been relating to deeper canal edges and hard structure. Live bait continues to be very productive for clients, especially around active fish. The biggest key lately has been staying flexible and adjusting as fish reposition through the morning. For anglers visiting South Florida, this remains a great time to experience Miami Peacock Bass fishing. These fish are aggressive, colorful, and put up an incredible fight for their size. Capt.
