Blue Lagoon - Miami-Dade, FL Fishing Report on 5th Jun, 2025

Peacock bass action is hot across Miami’s urban canal systems right now. These hard-hitting fish are in full post-spawn mode, aggressively feeding and holding tight to structure. If you're looking for fast-paced freshwater action, now’s the time to hit the water. Where to Fish: The best bites are coming from the C-100, C-4 (Tamiami), and C-111 canals, as well as neighborhood lakes throughout Kendall, Doral, and Hialeah. Look for areas with steady current, bridges, and shady overhangs—peacocks love ambushing baitfish from structure and ledges. What’s Working: Live bait: Shiners are the gold standard. Freelining or using a small float setup near rocky banks is producing quality fish. Artificial lures: Topwater plugs (especially early in the morning), jerkbaits, and small swimbaits are drawing solid strikes. Bright colors like orange, chartreuse, and firetiger patterns stand out well in slightly stained water. Fly fishing: Clouser minnows and poppers are getting attention around mid-morning, especially when worked slowly near cover. Size & Numbers: Expect fish in the 2–4 lb range with the occasional 5+ lb bruiser. The numbers have been excellent—double-digit outings aren’t uncommon right now, especially if you can move around and find active pockets. Tips for Success: Start early to beat the heat and the boat traffic. Don’t overlook docks and culverts—peacocks love tucking into tight spots. Keep moving if the bite slows. These fish are aggressive and usually bite quickly when they’re around.
