The Speckled Peacock Bass and Spotted Peacock Bass are thought to be different species when in fact they are both the same species. The Speckled Peacock bass comes in a variety of colour variations. Some variations are based on the size of the fish while others and just genetic. More on this later in Features and Size.
Fishing Lagoons
When fishing lagoons, try the use of diving plugs and running floats. Blue chartreuse and green and white plugs work best for lagoon fishing for Speckled Peacocks. Lipless rattling crank baits are another favoured lure, especially in open water fishing. Blue and silver work best.
Surface Lures
Surface lures include large walking, popping and buzzing models. For big fish, large plugs with for and aft propellers create a lot of commotion and best for catching large fish. Spinners baits produce some strikes but are greatly outfished by plugs. Unless you don’t have any other lures, leave these ones at home when it comes to peacock.
