Subject: Florida Peacock Bass
On Thursday, Edmund Brennan and Travis Williams from Georgia, decided to come down to Florida to fish for both Peacock & Largemouth Bass. So "The Hawghunter" provides the boys with a fishing experience to remember, fishing for both species in the same day. Starting out in the morning for Peacock's we headed out the Airport Lakes for the first half of the day. The bait of choice was small shiners, which put the first of many peacock in the boat. After moving on into Mahar Lake, where Edmund missed a large peacock that we had spotted, on the return try Travis's was successful, landing a real nice 5.3lb. butterfly peacock. Travis after taking picture released her for the next angler. We then proceeded to the next location where Edmund then got his shot with a 4.8lb. which gave a fight like no other bass has before, and an experience he'll remember. By 1:30 and 21 Peacock later we broke for a great lunch at Sonia's before heading to the Everglades for Largemouth Bass. Both Edmund & Travis were accustom to fishing farm ponds, so the Glades was a nice experience. We had got to the Park by about 4:30pm and wet the lines by 5, to capture that late bite, on the very first cast Edmund caught a bass. All the bass were caught on artificial baits, the boys started out dead dropping super fluke with no weight, and Gambler swacky worms, also we used Flappin' Shads, chug bugs and bang-o-lures. In only 3 hours, they caught over 70 bass, what a ball, a lot of action, and right now The Glades are hot. On your next trip to down see what Florida has to offer for a fishing experience to remember. "The Hawghunter" guides 7 days a week, so give us a call. Good Fishin', Capt. Frank Carbone
