Epic Miami Peacock Fishing with Hai Truong
By

The peacock fishing in South Florida keeps getting better and better. As long as we don’t have a killing freeze, this trend should continue unabated.And the peacock fishing in Greater Miami is absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, the master practitioner in these parts is Land Captain Hai Truong. Though he can secure vessels for pursuing these colorful battlers, my preference is for Hai to pick me up in his fully equipped SUV (loaded with fishing tackle and refreshments) and sightfish for peas on foot. Please remember that shorebound anglers exert no fish spooking pressure waves as do boats. But even with walking you have to go about it with stealth.Since Miami is an international “hub city”, Hai offers established airport pickups for arriving anglers or even for fisherfolk on a decent layover. Imagine hopping aboard his vehicle and sipping a cool libation in air conditioned comfort as you are driven to your first peacock spot perhaps only twenty minutes away. A beginning like this appeals to anglers that love good amenities.This previous May, I had only a few hours to fish one day, but Hai quickly got me to a West Miami spot where we caught and released six peacocks in an hour.Only a few days ago in mid-June, I had six hours to fish with Hai which gave us the time to take in all the diverse freshwater spots and habitats where peacocks lived and hunted. This range from urban Miami to the fringe of the Everglades. The fishing was stupendous and we converted 11 strikes into 8 catch and releases.
