Art 2: Fishing in Daylight for Peacock Bass

For peacock bass fishing, I always preferred during day time, be it dawn or dusk. For dawn fishing, what i found out is that fishes generally roam around a certain area, like that's their territory. While dusk fishing, fishes generally stay at one place, preparing to rest for the night. Therefore, dawn fishes seldom get spooked while dusk fishes get spooked rather easily and quickly.

Here's a tip for you. If you face problems such as watching ripples around the area but after casting awhile, the water area becomes dead calm, try stop casting for about 5mins and keep quiet. Move slightly or slowly if you really have to and stand away from the shoreline. After 5mins or so, normally you will start seeing ripples again; if not, the fish might have been spooked off. This way of fishing requires your friend/buddy/team cooperation, tell them the logic and 5mins wont hurt. For best effect, squat down and don't let your shadow cast upon the water.

Personally, I do have spots that need to do this after awhile. This method is effective as it is how water birds catch their prey.

Remember, fish near the weeds, wherever and whenever possible!
