It started out at Boy Scout Island when would spot the red devils... Action... Moving along the shore when we saw a RD we would toss a live bait to it and the fight was on. We trailed a live bait behind the boat and every few minutes a peacock bass would grab it and almost drag the rod overboard.
The peacock bass were running 2 ½ to a LITTLE 0VER 2 POUNDS in size.
Great fight on light spinning tackle with 4# test line.
We finally made it to the "Saddle" just off Kemoo Island and parked the boat on the submerged point. Then every time we tossed a live bait into the windward side of the saddle... FISH ON. It got to a point that I would lay the rod down, put on a live bait and toss it into the water with 2 or 3 feet of line out... before I could pick up the rod to cast it out a peacock bass would grab the bait within a foot of the boat... right at the surface... wild action.
With that kind of non-stop action, 40 medium size gold fish don't last too long. They were biting like crazy, and we ran out of live bait... the perfect time to call it a day. QUIT WHILE YOUR STILL HAVING FUN.
No, none of these pictures is of the same fish. LOL
