Exploring Fort Myers Canals/Fishing Naples for Peacocks | CAUGHT MY PB PEACOCK!!!

Simple Florida Fishing here back again with some more AWESOME peacock bass fishing!!! In this video I was really hoping to find some peacock bass in Fort Myers but it just wasn’t going as planned, so we headed down to Naples from there and it paid off!!! Ended up catching my PB peacock bass and a bunch others! Also knocked a new hybrid cichlid species off the list…

Just found your channel.
Great video and very informative! Thank you! How long are your Floro leaders when using braid mainline?

[@simplefloridafishing]

Usually about a rods length leader so depends on the size of rod

I will be on vacation in naples next May. Do you know any spots for Oscar?

[@nicholascid1936]

They’re everywhere, but the closer to the Everglades you go the more you’ll find them.

[@reelinfishin-n-football6398]
