Unconventional Peacock Fishing

[Capt. BassinLou]

There is a very interesting story behind this specific Peacock I caught recently. I actually caught 2 of them, fishing the same exact way, while chasing after largemouth. The reason why I created this thread  is because I may have stumbled across another fun and  unconventional way to catch pea's.
Stay tuned, while I test out another of my crazy fishing  theories.

Lou tks for sharing that picture with us.  That is a beautiful fish for sure.  A trip down your way is on my bucket list.

I was surprised about how well an unconventional technique worked so well for peacocks and it was an unintended find. I actually caught my personal best off it. What is it you might ask? A drop shot!! I've caught so many peacocks on a drop shot while fishing for largemouths on the deep limestone lakes of south Florida. I wouldn't have thought in a million years that it would work so well but it did! The only thing that I can figure out is the peacocks were congregating around the deep rock piles and limestone ledges and the little worm presented an easy meal.

Thanks Flats that is interesting.  Was the bait sitting still or moving when hit?  I can't tell you how many times I have had them hit a 4" senko, or a Zoom centipede, but the bait was always moving through the edge of the weed lines.  Erratic movement was the key for me.  They love fast moving baits.

George, I was given the baits some movement so I would say that the little worm was constantly moving.
