So I decided to play hookey on Tuesday and called Bassn Blvd. He was off so we headed out to Lake Osbourne. We managed to find a few fish, as well as get my first peacock bass. Here are some pics.

Doug in action:

First bass of the day:

A "foot long" bass:

My last bass of the day, a 3 pounder:

And here is an iguana, of which we saw about 10:

Nice fish man! I fish Osbourne every April when I go down to FL during spring break and it has been very good to me. Last year I caught 4 fish that went 4+lbs and 2 definite 5lbers, and that was just off the bank.

Cool Beans, Nice fish, looks like a fun day

I remember those days when we could wear shorts and tee-shirts outside, lol. Only another 6 and a half more months. > Nice fish, where abouts do you guys get peacocks in this country?

Anybody else think Westpalmdude looks like Charlie Moore in that pic of him holding the 3#er? I'm just saying..............

Tin2win...The peacocks are plentiful down south around Dade (Miami) and Broward counties.  Peacocks have been moving north to Palm Beach over past couple years but all I have caught are 1 pound and less.  Okeeheelee park holds some nice peacocks if you know where to go ( I'll never tell either), I just can't get the 3-4 ponder to hit. But I know for a fact they are in there.

Jason,  I said you could hold my fish as long as you did not take credit for it.    It was a beautiful evening , except for the wind which died down about 30 min before dark.  We hittin it again Mon. and Tues. so get ready.

Rattle Trap season is here.

Great pics! 8-) No pics of the peacock?

i have been trying to get my club to fish a tourny out of lake ida/osbourne for 2 years now. they usually laugh and i am out voted. december through march the ida/osbourne chain are off the hook. my club just hates the jet skiers and idiot boat traffic. leisurville has some toads---but they only want a specific bait. great day gentlemen!

Nice Fish  

Wish we had some peacocks up here...  :-/

Nice catching y'all!  Surely miss South Florida! :-[

No, I caught it on a Yozuri minnow and it had 4 hooks into it. By the time I got them all out, I just wanted to get the fish in the water. It wasn't that big anyway, only about 11 inches, if that. I'll get a bigger one soon enough.

Hey J, glad you took a little you time.

You need to remember.......no pic........no PROOF!

ps.......somebody in Kentucky loves you

I'm his proof.  I think he opted not to photograph it because it was about 8 ounces..
