Big boys caught!

1,302 Peacocks boated by 8 anglers

Our 6^th week on the Marmelos paid off with a higher size average than last week. The Wegers and the Devine family had a great time on the water, boating a few 15s and 16s.

Biggest one of the week was weighed at 17 pounds, caught by the Devines.

Subsurface was the way to go this week, with spoons and jigs doing a better job than diving minnows.

Weather: Sun shines bright and waters keep receding at a slow pace of 1-2 inches per day. Our South East Zone forecasts show nothing but sunny days, perfect for some sight fishing.

Family Reunion

735 Peacocks landed by 4 anglers

5^th week of our season and we were delighted to host our long-time friend Paolo and his family. Competition was fierce, the young boys managed to take the lead on the first days of the week. Ole’ fishermen experience paid dividends in the end and taught the younglings a lesson on fishing. A 16 pounder was boated and was the biggest of the week. Choppers were most productive during the morning, but the heat of the day forced the fish to find colder and deeper waters.

Weather: Still stable, our guests enjoyed sunny skies only and minimum cloud cover. Water level is receding and half an inch per day. Our River Train will continue its journey downstream in search of the most productive waters. Our South East Zone forecasts show clear skies ahead.

Hot and Peppy!

1,411 Peacocks by 8 anglers

On our 4^th week on the Marmelos, first time guest Silver and his son got hands on a couple of 16 pounders. A total of 8 anglers managed to boat 1,411 Peacocks in these clear pristine waters. We kept moving our River Train downstream, getting our guests closer to the hotspots. Fishing shallow sand bars was not the way to go, Peacocks were lurking in deeper waters in look for a colder environment. Choppers and Perversas were the most productive lures.

Weather: Weather is stable just like the previous weeks. No rains, no clouds; only clear skies. Water level keeps going down and is now on the sweet spot for the middle part of the river. Our South East Zone forecasts show no signs of rainstorms ahead. We expect water levels to decrease.

Groups: 1

Anglers: 8

Peacock Bass Count: 1411*

Biggest: 16lbs

Over 10lbs: 45

*Other less aggressive tropical species were left out of the fishing tally.
