At the Best Lodges, Liveaboards, and Floating Cabins
Peacock Bass Fishing Trips
Peacock bass are an aggressive, hard-fighting, and beautiful fish, known for their hand-blistering, long runs. They were one of Larry Schoenborn's favorite species. Fierce hunters, their explosive topwater strike, and surprising ability to break heavy lines and leaders, make them one of the most desired species to pursue.
