Speaking of largemouths... does anyone know if peacocks have an adverse effect on the population of largemouths? I know the game and wildlife people say no. I know the cichlids have pretty much wiped out the bluegill/sunfish population. Just seems to me when you introduce something foreign unforeseen consequences usually happen.

Hi... New here... I live in Broward County on a good sized lake fed by a nature preserve. The everglades is basically my backyard. I have had ridiculous success with peacock bass by catching baby cichlids on a 3 foot piece of line, with a cabela's size 10 fly fish hook, and a small piece of bread. I take the baby cichlid, hook it through the bottom lip with a worm hook, cast it out and within seconds I'm catching bass. The activity actually draws more bass to the area. Doesn't matter the time of day either. My 2 cents...
