Cast in, and as soon as you hit the water, close up and begin a retrieve.  Don't move it too fast unless they are bluefish.Early morning is normally a very good time for bass, they will feed in the shallows near some kind of structure (rocks, drop offs, humps), usually when there is a current to sweep helpless bait past them.At this time top water plugs can be very productive because of the low light conditions.If it's going to be overcast or foggy that day, so much the better for the bass fishing.  Top water plugs should be surface swimmers, poppers, or walkers in white.They should be worked as if they are injured, occasionally stopping them during the retrieve.It's so cool when the fish smashes that surface plug, splashing, rolling, then running like hell.My favorite kind of bass fishing.Once there is a good amount of light and the top water plugs stop producing, its time to switch to soft plastics and probably move into an area of structure in deeper water.  Current is again important, the bass depend on this to sweep food past them and when the current is weak or non-existent you can normally expect that the bass won't be aggressive, you have to bang them off the nose then to get a  home theatre. 

The peacock bass fishing began when this species of bass was intentionally put into the freshwaters of Florida by fish and game officials to help rid their waters of fish such as the Oscar, Midas cichlid, and the spotted tilapia. Due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida, the butterfly peacock bass have flourished. These tropical fish cannot survive in lower water temperatures.

Peacock bass fishing started after these fish were dropped into the warmer freshwaters of Florida in 1984 by fish and game officials to go after environmentally destructive fish like the Oscar, Midas cichlid, and the spotted tilapia.  Due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida the peacock bass have vigorously grown in population. The peacock bass love temperate locations and cannot tolerate colder water temperatures.

Scheduling a peacock bass fishing trip with one of the many guides in Florida is affordable and relatively easy.  The serious peacock bass fisherman should consider planning a trip of a lifetime to the Amazon River or to the lakes and rivers of Venezuela.  This is the ultimate in peacock bass fishing.  Imagine fishing with the sounds of the jungle in the background and parrots and monkeys greeting you at every turn.

The peacock bass can be hooked by fly fishing, artificial or live bait fishing.  They prefer live bait and can be located during daylight hours.   It is recommended to use a fly rod with 5 or 6 weight depending on where you are fishing.  Good reels, high quality line with fast action rods and sharp hooks to penetrate quickly are necessary.  Fly fishing equipment can be provided by the guide if preferred.  A good pair of Polaroid glasses will allow you to spot these beautiful fish as they hit. The fierce and powerful peacock bass guarantees the thrill of an exciting fishing battle. Each day will provide an angler with a chance hooking up to 10 or 20 of these fish and bagging at least one 15 pounder.  

The emotional excitement of peacock bass fishing is invigorating.  The excitement of hooking up to this aggressive fighter and landing it is worth the cost of the trip.
After successful day of peacock bass fishing imagine taking home a keepsake replicate of this prize catch?  The locals can produce such a lifelike replica of your catch that often they are better than most traditional skin mounts.  The fisherman need only provide the taxidermist with a photo and measurements and he will produce a beautiful souvenir for you to take home.

You may have taken Florida fishing trips all your life and be a native Floridian, but if you have not had the thrill of hooking up to a renown fighting peacock bass you haven't fished!

The sport of peacock bass fishing is rapidly spreading after this bass was first introduced into the freshwaters of Florida in 1984 by fish and game officials to aid in the eradication of certain types of undesired fish. Due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida these fish are flourishing.  Being a tropical fish, the peacock bass, cannot tolerate lower water temperatures.

The Florida's peacock bass fishing industry has greatly benefited from the introduction of this fish into Florida's warmer fresh waters. They are a tough fighting fish and have been known to easily destroy many a fisherman's gear. They will strike hard and run out your line. Their aerial jumps make for exciting game fishing for the beginner or expert.

The exciting sport of peacock bass fishing can be done in several parts of the US, but many sport fisherman plan a once in a lifetime trip to the Amazon to catch the peacock bass in their natural habitat. This type of trip also offers a chance to experience the area's unique culture and landscape. They can also be located in the waters of Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Panama, and tropical islands of the U.S.

Flies, artificial or live bait can all be used to attrack the peacock bass.  Some believe the most accurate method is to use live bait and fish during the daytime.   A fly fishing rod and an extremely sharp hook enable a fisherman to hook this elusive fish on the first hit and then enjoy the fight.  A locally trained guide should have most of what is necessary for a memorable peacock bass fishing trip.

First of all, let’s introduce ourselves to the topic of redfish fishing. What is refish and where you can find them? Refish also known as the red drum, is a salt water fish which can be found in the south-east of USA. People can easily recognize redfish by the black spot on their tails. Redfish inhabit shallow bays and esturaries, targeting crustaceans and baitfish. They are highly valued as a recreational fish. People who specialise in these fish are redfish anglers. They often take part in national tournaments that are similar to freshwater bass fishing competitions. You can find competitions in redfish fishing all over the gulf coast. I saw my first one on TV one Sunday morning and that was a first time I heard about redfish fishing..

For me redfish fishing is a whole world. Unfortunately, I don’t live in the south of USA, but I go there every year just for redfish fishing. I always take my whole family with me and we have a lot of fun. It is now our traditional family event. We all love it, because it’s both healthy, you are on a fresh air all day, and fun and it brings family together.

Ok, let’s move on to the refish fishing techniques. Red drum or redfish can be caught in many ways. Perhaps the best known for fishing redfish is to anchor along a channel edge or shoal and bottom fish with cut peeler crab bait or other baits including, squid, cut spot, live spot and even chicken breast soaked in peeler crab oil. These are all wonderful techniques.

In the Virginia, in areas like Pocomoke and Tangier Sounds, anglers usually look for a somewhat sharp drop and anchor so that the boat lies on the slope of the channel. This depth is only a starting point and can vary greatly.

Many anglers prefer to use the opportunity offered by the last 2 hours of the incoming current and the first 2 hours of the outgoing. If there is a dusk, the fishing is more likely to be good.

Other techniques for catching Virginia and Chesapeake Bay redfish include trolling large spoons in the lower bay areas.

Surf fishing is a popular way to catch redfish in Virginia. Along the Atlantic beaches and around Virginia barrier islands, anglers use a fish finder or other rig and fish with baits such as whole spot, spot fillets or heads, mullet, bluefish fillets, crabs, shrimp or other baits. There are numerous methods in redfish fishing.
