Florida peacock bass

[Jake B]

Good morning. I was just curious if anyone has any recommendations for guides and locations to fish for the peacocks in Florida? Or fish Everglades ? We are up for anything, thanks in advance. Jake

Several years ago I fly fished for redfish and tarpon with Capt John Stark http://www.naplesguidedfishing.com/index.html

We were staying in Everglades City and he launched from EC. He is based in Naples and fishes the entire shallow water along that part of the coast. Good guy, very enjoyable day and he worked hard-- only got one redfish, but had a spectacular day.

I guess the Peacocks and other "exotics" are around Miami, Florida.

Call Kiene's fly shop and talk with Al Bunch who fishes there......



Tons of YouTube videos about that fisheries.
