HAWAII | Lake Wilson, Hawaii | MARCH | Mid | 70'S | 12 | Fly Fishing, streamer flys.... yellow/gold, and silver | shoreline (general) | 0 to 2 feet | Sunny | 70's | Peacock bass and largemouth bass are geting more active as the water temp. reaches 78 degrees. Peacocks like sun shine and hot water. Lots of action with fish in the one to two pound range. Even some 3 pounders. The big Tukes (peacock bass) in the 6 to 8 pound size are starting to pair up and look for nesting sites. The Red Devils are every where, and starting to get aggressive. That's a good sign the Tukes are also moving. I've seen schools of the big ones, 20 to 25 fish, crusing the shoreline. If the rains would ever stop so the water can clear up, we'll be able to spot the fish and have some really exciting action. You bass fishermen don't worry. peacock bass will hit just about any lure a largemouth will take. |
