Haven't posted over here for a spell. I have been working on two things behind the scenes for quite a while. 1. In-line hooks. Really like them, btw! 2. Stronger leaders. I posted about that in detail on the bank fishing forum earlier today. ;)
Well, the combo hit out of the park today!!

Within minutes of arriving, I caught a decent peacock. I quickly figured out the peas were holding along the vegetation canopies.

They were destroying the boyo. I had to reluctantly come home and left them biting.

Nice! Those peacocks are pretty fish. How do they fight compared to largemouth?

A fun time for sure. Nice job Lou. Peacock are the Pitbulls of the freshwater world, and no fish more beautiful. Congrats my friend. ~c~
