Are You Ready for a Peacock Bass Fishing Adventure?

The only way to keep up with the latest about peacock bass fishing is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about peacock bass fishing, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.

Now that we've covered those aspects of peacock bass fishing, let's turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.

Peacock bass fishing is one of the most adventurous and dangerous sports fishing game in the world. What makes it difficult for untrained sport fishers to venture is the target fish -- the peacock bass.

Peacock bass fish has earned a reputation in the bass fishing world as ferocious, very powerful, and a bad-tempered sports fish. It behaves like a largemouth bass on steroids, which makes it difficult for anglers to catch. Once it decides to hit the lure, unsuspicious anglers are shocked because it strikes with such power, dragging away the bait without even caught by the hunters.

Its strength is estimated to be twice more from other large fish. What seems to make peacock bass fish more powerful than other sports fish is their ability of doubling their strength once they surface and wrestle with the angler for the bait.

Many sport fishers do think that a minute or two of fighting with this large bass fish will make the latter tired easily, but their presumption is not accurate. Peacock bass usually have another shot of bursting power coming from the adrenaline that their body is producing, thus it cannot be as easy as catching a regular black bass.

Biological studies show what a peacock bass is and why it is very different to other fishes in the ocean. They are members of the Cichlids, which are reputed to be the most highly evolved group of fishes. Peacock bass is often classified as a predator, which feeds entirely on small fishes.

It is usually found in the oceans of South America and Amazon. Its speed, strength, size and ferocious nature make it easy to hunt for prey. Similarly, to a largemouth bass with huge, bucket-like mouth, peacock bass do swallow up other fishes of smaller sizes at the same time for their meal.

Three species of these sport fish are found in the Amazon. Brazilian natives as the Cichla Temensis or the "tucunare azul or paca" know one species of the peacock bass. On the other hand, the Spanish-speaking communities consider them as "pavon azul or pinta lapa". This specie is very sensitive to water conditions and restricted to tropical areas of the Amazon. Its weight is estimated to have an average of 27 pounds.

The second specie is the Cichla Ocellaris, known as the butterfly peacock. Much smaller compared to the pace, it just weighs about 7 to 8 pounds, but they are terrible fighters, ready to engage in a fight for bait.

The third is the Cichla Nigrolineatus, or royal peacock. Its habitat is in fast moving waters and weighs an average of 3 to 4 pounds.

The seasonal cycle of the peacock bass is usually based on the equatorial weather conditions in the Amazon River. Typical of dry and wet seasons, the best time hunting for peacock bass is usually of the first six months of the year, where the water temperature is not so extremely hot.

For easier hunting, anglers are advised to have their bass fishing activities conducted on instances where different rivers in the South American continents reach the lowest water level.

Sports fisher can fish in the Amazon from December through March on the northern area, and from July through November in the southern area. On the black waters of the northwestern Amazonian rivers, however, December through March is the best peacock bass fishing because of the clear waters and the typical dry season, making sport fisher easier for them to hunt the 27-pound peacock bass.

One of the strategies of success in pursuing a peacock bass is the mastering of the fishing technique in relation to the behaviour of the fish. It is advised to at least improve everything an angler knows. They must also take into consideration the biological history of the fish to come up with new techniques and become familiar South American continent's weather when the peacock bass is found and from this, determine the best season for hunting it.

Lastly, the fishing gears such as rods, reels, and baits must be wisely selected in order to cope up with the style of the peacock bass. When everything is set up and ready, the next question is, can you survive the wildest peacock bass fishing adventure?

So now you know a little bit about peacock bass fishing. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.
