    Thanks for the tip. Flying down there in a couple of weeks. As a bass angler I have so much tackle and feel naked without having all my gear in my disposals. Since I'm just going to have a carry on. This helps me so much to narrow it down. I can't wait to land one.

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  Рік тому +2

      If we're experiencing high pressure, the peacocks will stay down deep. But if its a nice warm day there's a good chance they'll eat any top water. If water temps are below 70 degree's, they will most likely not be willing to eat a plopper.

    I came down last weekend and fish TaMiami Trail Sunday, 3/3/24. There were so many people fishing and fishing pressure. Saw a couple of illegals (Some didn’t Speak English) catch a few fish using live bait. They were keeping everything regardless of size limits. We caught four fish ourselves. We fished for about three hours total. Decided to keep going and go to Naples Beach. We did catch 2 small Snook which was on my bucket list and an Oscar and Large Mouth.

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  11 місяців тому +1

      The trail is the most fished area in South East Florida. Its a domino effect since you fish in plain sight, people see you, then they go, then someone see's them, and it just exponentially gets out of proportion. Still lots of good fishing to be had. I need to make a video out there... But yes, way too many people don't follow the fishing regulations out there. Not just migrants, but from all walks of life, including native born Floridians. In this day and age where information is available to everyone, people are still ignorant to how unsustainable it is to keep everything you catch.

      Absolute best bedding lure is the Zman TRD CrawZ on a Ned jig head or a 1/6oz BulletZ jig. They can’t stand that on their bed. The tiniest twitch and they will totally annihilate that craw! I’ve caught hundreds of ‘em on that set up

    What's your favorite summer bait for July?

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  Рік тому

      Peacock bass don't really follow your typical feeding patterns like largemouth. They will feed on anything any time of year for the most part. It just depends on the particular day, not the time of season. For example, last week I ran a charter where they wouldn't hit any top water lure, but when we broke out the fly rod they would hit a popper fly in the same areas we threw the plopper, and spook on spinning tackle.

    • @Peeler86

    The smaller Plopper 75 is my favorite, the belly keeps it from spinning as I tend to rip it harder after all those chopper casts in the Amazon. I tried the little 60 but it spins.

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  Рік тому

      I tried the 75's when I was fishing up north in the rivers and they would spin on me. The 90 ran straight for me. Maybe the 75's don't like current. I haven't tried them in any other water.
