Freshwater

I got out yesterday morning on the canal for about an hour before the lightning and thunder was to close for comfort.  Weather wise, it was a nice morning, the usual overwhelming heat was cooled from the winds of the incoming storm.  For the hour that I was out, I was able to catch one small peacock and one small largemouth.  I got back to it in the afternoon around 415, and fished for a couple of hours.  This two hours was the best fishing I've seen yet here in southern FL.  I ended up with two more peacocks, one which was 4-5 pounds, who stripped line on multiple hard runs.  I also caught two mayan cichlids, and a small fish resembling a bluegill, which I believe was a black acaria, another non-native fish to florida's freshwater canals.  All fish were taken on a small streamer.
