Good morning you fine GON Folks – I was able to cross off a bucket list item for me this past week while we were down in the Florida Keys for our kids Spring Break! My brother-in-law lives down there now and while we did have some great saltwater adventures the highlight of our trip down there was a Peacock Bass Fishing Trip up in Miami that my awesome wife Mrs. Jaimelou lined up for me and Hunter Jack. We fished at the Miami Airport Lakes and we fished from 12-4 and we caught 14-fish in all and a couple of them were largemouth’s and then a Tipilia and some other pan fish that I can’t remember the name of, but all the rest of the fish were Peacocks and they are one hard fighting fish (even the little guys) and the colors on them are just so dang vibrant. They might be the prettiest fish I’ve ever caught! We were pitching live shiners to them in tight cover but it was such an awesome fishing adventure.
The lakes are a bunch of canals that all connect and you’re fishing in some interesting areas to say the least. Lots of homeless dudes living under bridges and their pretty impressive shanty’s. Big ole Lizards all over the place and it’s just a very Urban fishing experience but the Peacock bass are there folks.
If you ever get a chance to go on one of these Peacock Bass Fishing trips in the Miami Airport lakes DO IT – you will not regret it!
Here’s a few pictures from our awesome trips!
Tight lines everybody!
