Peacock Bass, Miami Florida area
« on: January 31, 2019, 05:08:06 PM »
planning a trip down to explore, fly down, fish 2 days with a guide and fly back. If it pulls our trigger will go back in the future with my boat.

Anyone got experience with these critters ?

Very Duable. Are you getting a guide?  Not a pretty place to fish, but you are aight casting most of the time. If you are going to go.  Go now through Feb. have to get to the ramp early, area fills up quick.  Had a friend get hit by another boat down there.  A lot of blind turns. Beat up the beaver tail pretty bad. 

Good luck. Dark flies, and oranges and brown. Heck pretty much anything works.

Make ttfn great again,

Sounds like crowded fishing?
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Joe my fishing bud is retired Army and Civil Service, 73 with bad hips, was going to have them replaced until he watched youtube.

We will use a guide.

Anyone got recommendations on a guide ?

Looking at April 1-4
