Now, I am not much on using live bait so the first thing I thought to try was a Lucky Craft Pointer suspending minnow.  No luck on it after 20 or 30 casts so I switched to a Pop-R top water bait.  I picked up a couple of small Bass on that but the action was not fast enough for me,so I switched to a 1/8 oz. red and white Marabou Jig and it was on!!  I started catching Bass like crazy, they were eating this jig up!  I ran out of the red and white so I started using a yellow one; it only got better.

My buddies could not believe how I was catching more Peacock Bass than them, as they were all using the usual live minnow setup.  My trick was that I would cast these near any structure and let it sink about three to four feet and reel it in slow.  I was using 6 lb Berkley Fire Line on my Shimano spinning reel with a six foot Shimano rod.

Thanks Panama Fishing Hole for making my catch, the Catch of the Week!!!
