Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for peacock bass in Florida as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but topwater fishing and sight casting are popular as well.

How much does a Florida peacock bass fishing trip cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for peacock bass fishing in Florida?

    Zach was our guide and he put us on fish and iguanas all afternoon. It was a unique experience that my son and I were glad we tried.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting / Peacock Bass Combo

  • ★★★★★
    Justin was an amazing guide. He put us on fish immediately and when the bite slowed, we moved to a new spot. Limited out on Peacocks with plenty of time to load up on Oscars and Cichlids. He prepared us an awesome lunch and we headed out hunting. There were so many iguanas! We came home with 12 but could have been more than double that if we had better aim. We have already planned another trip with him in the spring.

    Trip: Cast And Blast Adventures

    Fished the canals off Lake Ida with Captain Jose. We brought my 7 year old grandson fishing for the first time. Captain Jose was patient and extremely helpful. With his knowledge and expertise, we caught a variety of fish, including Peacock Bass and a Clown Knife fish. As a result, Ethan is already speaking about his next fishing opportunity. Thanks Captain Jose.
