DONY may not be the biggest guy in the pics, but he sure as heck knows how to fish and how to be hospitable! I can't thank him enough for helping us out, hooking us up with where to stay, etc. We wouldn't have had near as good a time without him around. We really appreciate the effort he made to get us on some peacocks. Especially after the stuff he went through Saturday night after leaving us around 4pm. But that's his story to tell!
I'm willing to make another trip or five down there, whatever it takes to get a pea-bass. A little cichlid that was barely twice as big as my X-rap and 3 small largemouths ain't what I went down there for!
LOL. That's funny right there. I had a good time with the guys and wish we could have done better on the peacocks. You can't say we didn't try. I've never hit so many different spots in the same day even when fishing in the glades. Next trip is gonna be in a jon boat or a gheenoe. I've got another lead on a gheenoe that I hope will come through. I don't do too much fresh water fishing anymore but these guys got me out there and got the fire started again. Forgot how many canals and lakes there are down south.
We ran into a guy fishing a canal in a flats boat in Miami that said the cold snap we had a while back put a hurting on them. We followed Google Earth all over Miami and fished some awesome looking places but the peas just weren't biting I guess. Next trip is to the spot I caught them at a couple weeks ago. It's just too far to walk unless it's an all day trip. When I get a boat for the trip that I can pull out to go around the dam I'll call you guys and set it up. We're definitely gonna give it a try again. :toast
Saturday night is a whole nother topic. 😆
