Explosions on the Unini = Addiction = Peacock Bass Passion

Peacock Bass Passion . . . the Beginning.

In December of 2004 and September of 2005 videographer David Masterson and I traveled to the Cutter Camps on the Unini River. While there we filmed a couple of Television Shows for Brock Rays' World of Outdoors and American Heratige TV as well as packages for a promotional DVD. The following 6 minutes of Peacock Bass Fishing, artistically edited by Masterson, allow you a glimps into the beginning of my Peacock Bass Passion. 2007 was my last trip to the famed Unini. I will fish this river again someday and I hope you will join me.

Whether it's Monster Bull Reds or Explosive Peacock Bass, let the 2014 Party Begin!As I prepare this edition of FTA eNews we are witnessing once again a major winter ice, snow and polar event here in the midwest. Someone surely missed the global warming email. It may be cold here with a warming trend coming but it's not just the weather that's heating up around the Mississippi Delta. Here's a quote from an email I received January 20th. 

"Keith called tonight and said that today one of his friends and party caught over 70 big redfish with 8 between 30 and 40 pounds and 2 over 40 pounds. It just goes to show what I've said all along. Those big redfish will bite 12 months a year---it's just a matter of finding the right weather and water conditions. That's the crapshoot! 
Bass Regards, Gary"

Final Fishing Report for 2010 from Venice, LA

A final report for 2010 from Venice, LA from Gary:

After looking at this picture of a fish the last day that weighed 32 pounds, I think we should have reweighed it---HA! On my latest trip with Capt. Keith, I joined my great friends Dan Basore and his son Todd for an early December outing. We barely managed to squeeze three days in between strong cold fronts. With cold weather and wind, the trip started a little slow, but as usual Capt. Keith found the bull reds and the last two days in particular were memorable. We finished with 61 redfish anchored by a pair of 32 pounders, a few trout, and two huge blue catfish weighing more than 30 pounds each. Top lures were Tsunami split tail minnows, Bomber mud minnows, and live cocahoe minnows under a popping cork. We're headed home with many bags of beautiful fish fillets for the grill.

Bass wishes,

Gary Clark

#KLures...Awesome "Grande" and "Chico" Rippers for #PeacockBass

Blogger Bob Daly, over at The Fishing News has reported on numerous occasions about the California custom lure maker KLures and the angler/artist/owner behind KLures, Kermett Adams. Bob will let you know matter-of-factly that when it comes to custom hand crafted lures there are no finer specimens available today for the Golden Dorado of Argentina than those of Adams handcrafted ‘tricksters'.Daly and several others of this #PeacockBass addict’s brethren have expressed a fondness for Adams "Grande" Ripper and "Chico" Ripper as their "go to" lure of choice for enticing the awesome top water explosions of the ferocious Peacock Bass.

I've been reading the "posts" about the KLures on Blogs and Forum Boards for the last couple of years and finally decided to seek out Adams and order a few for my last trip to the Peacock haunts of the Rio Negro this last October. In fact, I encouraged Kermett to paint up a couple for me in a special color which he readily agreed to do. Then, perhaps 10 days later I had the order in hand. It didn't take but a few minutes of examination to understand why guys like Daly, Cagle and Laden were singing the praises of Adams KLures. Of those mentioned and myself I would dare say our combined Peacock Bass tackle inventory would challenge the likes of any given BPS store. From the old standards like the Peacock Specials, Amazon Rippers, Big Game Woodchoppers and Woodchopper Slims of the old Lure Jensen brand to the New Pavon Props and the ever popular HighRollers, our tackle shelves would all be found sagging from the over abundance of these fine ‘tricksters'.

I say all that to say this...we've all "fished" these old standbys for years and know them well. But when you put a KLure in your hand for examination you quickly see the "four keys of quality" that truly sets a custom lure apart from all the others:

Four Keys of Quality

• absolutely the best of hardware available in the marketplace today;



• a premium lure body turned by the artesian to perfect tolerances;



• available paint and color patterns unsurpassed in the industry with a Lexus finish;



• all assembled and tuned to a performance standard before it is ever shipped to the purchaser.

Now all of this sounds good but will the Grande or the Chico catch fish...OH YEAH! Here's an 18 pounder in hand that succumbed to a Clown Colored Grande Ripper and as the above mentioned guys have attested as well...these are field proved Monster Peacock Bass fish catchers...top shelf ‘tricksters’!

I highly recommend you visit KLures.com and have a look around at the various types, models and color combinations of lures available for multi-species. Order a few soon for your next fishin' expedition! Whether it's the Monster Bull Red Fish of the Mississippi Delta or the Monster Peacock Bass of the Amazon we're here to assisst you in planning your next "fishing adventure of a lifetime."
