Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing Tips To Help You Hook Your Trophy Fish
Amazon peacock bass fishing is just about as exciting as freshwater sport fishing gets. This amazing fish, with its brilliant, iridescent colors flashing in the sunlight, acts as if it's been trained to put on a good show for the angler. As soon as it grabs your bait, you'll get a rapid, flashy display, followed by an amazing run, then the fight's on.
Make no mistake, these are hungry animals. Because they spend the night sleeping, like civilized beings, once they wake up in the daylight, they want food and they'll fight for it. All similarity to civilization goes and they eat anything they can lay their teeth on. They'll feed and feed all day long, so prepare yourself for a big catch.
Amazon peacock bass fishing techniques are akin to those used for the largemouth bass, which behaves in a similar way, with wild leaps when it takes the bait. The disturbance from a topwater bait can trigger a frenzied attack on this outsider who's dared to venture into the peacock's territory. On the other hand, it might not. It may just generate a spark of interest that bobbles the plug, so you need to be prepared to try other types of lure at other depths.
Because of its unpredictable nature, you need to take the top to bottom approach. When you've exhausted your casts with larger topwater plugs, try moving on to a Zara Spook from Heddon. This good old lure appears to the Amazon peacock bass as an injured fish, when you adopt a "walk the dog" retrieve motion. The Zara Spook has been around in different guises since Heddon brought it out in 1939 and is renowned for its success. You could also try different wobblers or, if you're an old hand, use your own skills with stick baits.
One thing you shouldn't do is give up, because these fish are not noted for ignoring food. If you've tried the topwater plugs, if you've had some interest but no strike, stick to the same area and try using jerkbait, a lifelike plastic worm that just might grab the fish's attention enough to go for it. Tucanare are not generally fooled by plastic worms, but it's worth a try.
Another tactic seen quite often is for anglers to work in pairs for a while. When the peacock bass sees another member of its gang going for the bait, it seems to get spurred into action. If one of you hooks a peacock, the other should try to tempt any inquisitive onlookers that might be ready to take the bait. Trolling is another technique to try, whether by trailing your line at a distance of about 30 yards behind your slowly moving boat on a lagoon, or by winding your line in slowly from a static position, perhaps using a spoon or spinner lure.
Amazon peacock bass fishing has seen a huge boom in recent years, with fishing trips available for booking online and vast amounts of information being put out there to help the novice and the hardened angler alike. The thrill of landing a peacock bass must be experienced to fully appreciate how it feels. Such is the abundance of these fish in the organized trip areas, that you're unlikely to return home disappointed.

bass fishing witch topwater frog?
i need a good topwater frog that can be alittle expensive just not like a spro but something you like and has to be good at one of those urban ponds that no one really catches stuff haha thanks
I hate to do this but i have to agree with GMB. The Strike King Rage Tail Toad is by far the best top water frog i've used.
I used to use Stanley Ribbit frogs, which is a great frog, but the Rage Tails are slightly bulkier/heavier, really move allot more water, and create more of a commotion on top of the water. They even work well on semi-rough water.
Not sure what you consider expensive, but i just bought a pack of 5 at D i c k s sporting goods for $5.99.
Keep in mind that these aren't rigged with hooks. So you would need to get a pack of hooks too.
The strike king package says to use a 4/0-6/0 hook. I've found that a Gamakatsu 5/0 offset shank EWG worm hook (St#58315) fits perfect. I paid $2.99 for a pack of 5 at D i c k s. Seems like most stores around me charge about the same.
