Fishing has been awesome lately! Spring is in the air. The last few trips have been great. Few of the guys got their first and biggest peacocks ever; another guy caught his PB largemouth. Everyone is catching and happy 😃

Awesome inshore fishing along the intracoastal waterway on my 2 hour charters. Here's a 24" red grouper caught on a micro rod!

For peacock bass fishing in South Florida, this is the best time of the year to catch a trophy. The peacocks are already pairing up and we are seeing some beds starting to show up. This past weekend, each of our trips have averaged about 10 to 15 fish per person for a two hour trip. The average size has been over 3 pounds each, in other words, big fish. We don't have many slots open, but but as soon as possible, if you plan on coming to South Florida anytime in March.

Justin is a great guide. He is serious and doesn’t mess around. He gets the job done. They call him hog eyes for a good reason. He will find the iquanas. If you can shoot you are golden for a great hunt. I hope to be back to hunt with him again soon ! He likes to keep a nice clean boat and expects you to follow the rules. (Just read the rules and follow the directions) to insure you have a great time! Well worth the money. Thank you Justin
