what's up ya'll? haven't had too much time but I have browsed a bit. I do a lot of fishing down here. Flats fishing, offshore, and freswater fishing for peacock bass, largemouth, etc. So where should I post my fishing reports? I saw a section labeled Fishing Forum so I suppose it would be there.

Oh and I'm a big beer drinker!!!!!!!!!!!! almost left that important detail out.

you're right. we haven't had any cold winters in a few years so the Peacock have really flourished and I've seen some in the 10# range, believe it or not. I love south florida!!! wootwoo!!!!!!!!!!!

i never really see the 10 lbers here, but definetly around 8, im a little farther north then you, (davie) so i dont think they get quite as big. I fi ever get a 10 lb peacock thats definetly going on my wall above my tank!!!

you're not far from Weston. There's some big ones there too. Put in your time scouting the area and you'll find them.

Welcome HialeahAngler!

I strongly believe that the Cichla sp. in FL are hybrids of Cichla Monoculus and Cichla ocelaris but I heard that they have some of the Cichla temensis blood mixed in them as well but of course that has been more disolved than the blood lines of the other 2 species.. I don't think the wild Cichla Monoculus and Ocelaris from South America grow as big as the ones in South FL.

Who knows maybe someday Cichla temensis may return to South Florida
