Good way to start the year off!

That sucks. d**n i thought i had it bad with only a 3/4 and 1lb er all day. Guess i shouldnt complain. Youll get em next time!

Thanks. I dont know much about peacocks, but from what I could tell they love ledges. Cought burning a white/chart spinner. Sucker broke one off the willow blades off and bent it into the straight line! The boat is nice for the canals and lakes aroud my house or throwin in the truck for places like this, but Id like to get a slightly bigger one. Its perfect for 1 person and ok for 2. Its a 10` tracker with a 45lb/3.5hp 4 stroke. For holiday, loxahatchee, and esp okeechobee type places its not so ideal.

today in SW pines... biggest just a c-hair under 4lbs

Thanks! Hopefully more big ones to show soon. Been sitting in the hospital lookin om the internet. Seems like a nice site here. Im sure to be yappin alot herr the next few days

They are a prett good fighter. I dont think Ive ever gotten one that didnt put up a fight. I remember the first time I got one I thought it was a huge bass, then I seen it come up doing some evil death roll like a gator, got it on the shore and removed the hook with pliers and kicked the ugly devil beast back in. Didnt know what they were at the time. I just kill them now. Ive heard and read they are good eating, and they came here from Japan for a food source which spread out.

They are up there. Ive seen them in small ponds all the way up in okeechobee (city) ne of 710 in some private lakes. They are everywhere in broward county. Even in private lakes ive been into. There is a small lake/pond in the waste management on wiles/powerline/sample that they are filling in to make more room for trash. Its half filled so I thought "man, gotta be bass every or every other cast in there!" nothing but gar and snakeheads!! It was swarming with snakeheads.

Nice! Ive heard of people getting them in Coral Springs, but Ive yet to see one between there and Weston. My landlord and I live on a canal, he said they used to be in here till that long cold. I wish theyd come back!

I had a little male and female about 3lbs bedding right at the foot of my yard/canal in Margate for a few days, but I havent seen em the last few days. All the other water Ive fished lately had almost no visability n havent had the boat out in a few weeks.

I found a hidden lake behind a jobsite I work at in pines Im going to try and get into Saturday. Ill let ya know how it goes. Ive yet to get a peacocks and would like to begin there as Im from Margate up North and try to avoid going to Miami whenever possible. Anyone know of any clubs near this area or anything South of Okeechobee?

Hello. New to this forum and bass fishing. I began roadracing sportbikes a couple years ago and have since been broke. So to pass time in between having a canal in my back yard I thought it would be a cheap way to kill time. Very quickly it became addictive, and now I fish at least a few times a week all over the area, got a small boat, and a pile of gear. So much for a cheap hobby lol. Cant wait for spawn and sring time to try for some big pigs! here are a few recents if the links work...
