Heading out to Florida here soon and I'm definitely looking to try and get on some peacock bass. Does anyone know of good peacock bass guides out that way?

I don't have a specific guide but you will need to be in the Miami area to catch Peacock Bass. You can use Google and YouTube to find a Peacock Bass Miami Guide. It is a trip I would love to make.

Go fish any canal and you'll catch both black bass and peacock bass...

I went out with Frank Carbone about 10 years ago. We fished out of a nice bass boat. Son caught a 5lb largemouth, caught about 20 peacocks (all about 2lbs if I remember right), and I caught a small tarpon. Really fun trip. I was just in Miami a few days coming back from a tarpon fishing trip in the keys and drove right by where Frank took us; you can fish from the bank there around the airport but he burns 200 yds to the next spot catch some and move on so it would be worth a day to learn the rope and the baits etc

I fished for peacocks with Capt. Patrick Smith of Swamp to Sea Guide service last year and had a great time. Capt. Patrick Smith Ph: 561-503-0848 Email: captpatrick@swamptosea.com http://www.swamptosea.com

I'll be in the Miami area so I'm definitely going to check these guides out. I plan on checking out some of the canals on my own for some bank fishing to....shouldn't be to hard to get on some fish in Florida
