Largemouth Bass: These bad boys are the bread and butter of freshwater fishing. In Delray Beach, we've got some real lunkers lurking in the weeds. Largemouth can hit 10 pounds or more, and they've got an attitude to match. They're ambush predators, so we'll be targeting structure and cover where they like to hide out. Spring and fall are prime times for Largemouth, but honestly, these fish are active year-round in our warm Florida waters. The explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps make Largemouth a favorite among anglers of all skill levels.
Peacock Bass: Now, if you haven't tangled with a Peacock Bass yet, you're in for a treat. These gorgeous fish are like the tropical cousins of Largemouth, sporting vibrant colors that'll make your Instagram followers jealous. They're not native to Florida, but they've made themselves right at home in our warm waters. Peacocks are known for their aggressive strikes and bulldog-like fights. They typically range from 1-4 pounds, but even the smaller ones punch above their weight class. Summer is the hot season for Peacocks – the hotter it is, the more they seem to bite. Get ready for some arm-wrenching action when one of these beauties decides your lure looks like lunch!
Listen up, folks – this 4-hour charter in Delray Beach is the real deal. We're talking world-class fishing in your backyard, with species that'll test your skills and create memories that'll last a lifetime. Whether you're looking to cross Peacock Bass off your bucket list or just want to spend a few hours battling some hard-fighting freshwater giants, this trip has got you covered. Remember, we're limited to two anglers per trip, so spots fill up fast. Don't let this chance slip away – grab your phone, call up Locked and Loaded Charters, and let's get you on the water. The fish are waiting, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on this action. See you on the boat!

Largemouth Bass are the big dogs of our local lakes, typically ranging from 1-5 pounds but can get much bigger. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed beds, and drop-offs. They love warm, shallow water, so spring and fall are prime times when they're most active. These fish put up a heck of a fight, which is why anglers can't get enough of 'em. They've got a mouth big enough to swallow a softball, so don't be shy with lure size. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and topwater lures all work well. One local trick: try fishing the edges of lily pads with a weedless frog lure early in the morning. The bass love to ambush prey there, and the strikes are explosive. Just be ready to set the hook hard and reel fast – these fish know how to use structure to their advantage.
Peacock Bass are the colorful bullies of our local waters, usually hitting 2-4 pounds but can grow bigger. They love warm, slow-moving water, so you'll find them in canals, ponds, and the edges of lakes. Look for shady spots under bridges or near fallen trees – that's where they like to hang out. These fish are most active during daylight hours, with the best fishing typically from March to June and September to December. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and hard-fighting spirit. They'll hit topwater lures, jigs, and crankbaits, but live bait like golden shiners is often the ticket. Here's a local tip: try casting near canal intersections or dead-ends. Peacocks often patrol these areas looking for an easy meal. Just remember, they're not actually bass, so some largemouth tactics won't work – skip the plastic worms and go for flashy, noisy lures instead.
