An interesting close-up of a Peacock protecting it's territory. The flood control structure at the southwest corner of Markham Park nearby always has a few hanging on it but, the big ones hide to the north among the lily pads up the canal. Brim are best but, a bunch of store bought shiners will do in a pinch. Many say wild caught live bait are best because, unlike store bought shiners, they run from predators which helps to induce a bite...
Either way, the basics are light tackle (10lb test is heavy tackle in this world) and small number 1 or 2 hooks (not 1/0 or 2/0 which are l much larger/heavier) because the bait can't swim naturally with too large of a hook in them. I like the offset style of hooks (probably because they look like miniature version of the hooks I use for mutton snapper) but, anything generally works. Artificial baits are fun, particularly fly but, real production typically comes from bait.
Get out there and catch 'em up!
