Hey guys, in December i'm going camping at Peace river for 3 days with 2 of my best friends as a going away trip. Ive been camping there at least 1-2 times a year for the past 7 years  mostly in November or march and I've only managed to catch 1 small large mouth. Anyone have any advice they are willing to share. The water temp here in Miami during the winter differs from peace river quit  a  bit. 

Fluke !

Thanks man! Any specific color?

Where are you going to be ?

I have fished it some and my fishing buddy of 15 years fished it often before he passed away. The closer you get to the salt, the lighter the color, the further upstream the darker.

Fish weightless but make sure to use a leader - snook travel as far up as Arcadia and downstream my buddy caught a few that were 40 inchers, so use a leader (I did well there but not that well).

Your going to have a great time there,that place is a outdoorsman paradise.

We will drop off at zolfo and make our way to gardner. We will be there from Friday to Sunday. We have this spot that has big huge open land and a nice bi tree in the water that there might be bass hiding in. I've seen video of people catch there but ive only had luck once.
