Catching Report
For December 1998"

Butterfly Peacock Bass

Here is a Peacock Fishing Report provided by James and Ray from their trip to Snapper Creek on December 5, 1998 - Thanks James and Ray!!
We started out at the second finger canal on the left. The first one we came to had too much floating grass at the mouth of the canal. On about the third cast Ray caught a nice peacock to begin the day. Then from there on we kept catching them all over in the small canal leading up to the area where it opens up, then there is another small canal off to the left and we caught a few more in there. After that I pretty much just went exploring and found some 25-37 ft water off in one open area off another small canal. (good area for some largemouths) Then we headed in around 1130. We caught most of them on a gold floating rapala worked fast. I was throwing a chrome huskey jerk and only landed 4. Ray had better luck with the gold one, so much for the back of the boat thing huh. Water wes very clear and the fish seemed to only be where there was a lot of spotty moss around. All together we landed 15 between 1-3 lbs.

Stay tune for more updates as they become available.

A quick note from the writer to all the readers .... James had sent me an e-mail asking for directions and tips to various areas where he might be able to catch a few peacocks. Needless to say he was able to catch a few, he plans on making another trip on Dec 16th ... good luck and hopefully the tips I sent you for your next trip will pan out.
