  Fishing for butterfly peacock is usually best from March through May, but they are caught consistently throughout the year. This fish feeds only during daylight and normally close to shore, although schooling peacocks sometimes feed aggressively in open water. Butterfly peacock are more likely to be caught using live fish such as small golden shiners for bait than are largemouth bass, which make them an excellent fish for younger anglers, as well as those just learning to bass fish.The number and quality of panfish over six inches in Black Creek is about average for area canals. Live worms and crickets are the choice baits for many panfish species, although fresh bread or bread dough works well, is readily available, and it costs less. Shoreline anglers have plenty of access at the boat ramp, along SW 87th Avenue, and where Dixie Hwy crosses the C-1N.For those who enjoy fishing with artificial lures, just about any fast moving minnow imitating plug or fly can be used to entice a peacock. Note: Plastic worms work well for largemouth bass, but they rarely catch butterfly peacock.Black Creek Canal anglers may also encounter snook moving inland from Biscayne Bay.
