Trophy Peacock Bass Fishing
FISHING PROGRAM
A normal fishing day runs from 5:30 AM until 6:00 PM. Anglers are paired two to a boat with an experienced Colombian guide. Usually, you will be fishing from narrow-hulled 20 foot traditional flat bottom boat with a short-footed 6 to 20 h.p. outboard. These boats are very stable with two bass seats and can cruise over shallow sandbars and flats and get you into places other boats cannot reach. The most exciting aspect of peacock bass fishing is its propensity for annihilating large topwater plugs or flies. When topwater activity slows, switch to a jerk bait or jungle jig, or you may downsize the large topwater baits to more traditional sized baits like we use in Florida.
