Lakeland, FL -- There are few, if any, writers more qualified or
knowledgeable about peacock bass as Larry Larsen. In this, his third
book in the series, Larsen reveals new methods and locations from his
continued experimentation and exploration.From his many travels, it is
apparent to Larsen that anglers who have even just one opportunity to
tangle with peacock bass quickly become addicts. This compilation of the
very latest information will help all addicts enjoy the most optimal
quality of angling possible. In addition, this book attempts to provide
readers with an honest overview of the numerous opportunities in South
America and around the world where peacock bass exist. It also covers a
large variety of peacock bass camps and operators in each country.Each
of the first 12 chapters focuses on geographic areas within the various
countries that almost always produce good peacock bass fishing. Chapter
13 Battles Won and Lost provides an experienced viewpoint on how to win
battles with the giants. It points out common ways to lose the fish of
your dreams and ways to prevent such a catastrophe. Chapter 14 discusses
the range and seasonal movements of the peacock bass, critical elements
to the success of any South American venture. Fly fishing advice is also
covered in Chapter 16.I'm often asked about the most appropriate tackle
to carry along on an expedition, says Larsen. My favorite lures, tackle
and the types of habitats to use them in are also detailed in this book.
It is amazing how little consideration is given to the proper tackle by
most anglers, he adds. This is perhaps the most important of all
pre-trip planning checklists.
