Timothy Qualls West Palm Beach, Florida Reported: 1 week ago

The fishing has been good. With the wind, rain, and moving water these clown knife fish are on the move and hungry. Catching a lot of other fun species as well including largemouth bass, cichlids, crappie ,catfish and more. The peacock bite is still slow after the 2 major freezes we had in south florida but we are still getting them every once in a while.

The everglades largemouth bite has been amazing. These fish are in the spawn/post spawn stage and they are heavy and hungry. We are catching them on artificial no love bait needed. There are some peacock bass biting as well on shiners and these trips are available to. Lets go fishing.

Fishing is just started to pick up in South Florida. The weather has been tricky, but there are places to go and hide from the rain and still catch fish. I really enjoy teaching children about Fishing and the ocean.
