Pete McDonald, scribe for the "News for Angling Addicts" blog FishingJones, recently penned an article for SportsmanGuide.com on peacock bass fishing in Florida. There's some good stuff in here on techniques and gear. "We targeted them with a 5-weight fly rod rigged with floating line and an 8-pound tippet attached to a green and white clouser. We also used a 6-weight rod with 150-grain sinking line, and a chartreuse and white baitfish pattern to locate deeper fish."
