Hot weather temps in December has lead to hot fishing! This time of year if the weather and conditions are right, magical things can happen in the Everglades. In two days we hooked 7 fish on fly and 4 on spin. All fish were over 50lbs with the biggest close...

Danny was amazing! He coached my son through landing a giant sailfish after a long fight. He is kind, friendly and helpful…and worked hard to make sure we had a great day!

We fished with Brett Isackson. We had a great time. He put us on the fish immediately. He was knowledgeable and a pleasure to fish with. We would definitely fish with Brett again.

Trip: South Florida Everglades Fishing!
★★★★★
We had an amazing day with Captain Justin! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about iguana hunting and brings great energy. You can tell right away he’s someone you enjoy being around. I highly recommend signing up for the 6-hour tour, especially since it includes his delicious home-cooked, waterside lunch. Captain Justin knows exactly where the iguanas hang out and how to hunt them safely and responsibly without disrupting neighborhoods, homes, or parks. What really stood out is that he genuinely cares about protecting burrowing owls and combating the invasive species that are harming South Florida’s ecosystem. An awesome experience all around!

Awesome fishing trip can’t say enough good about José. His boat is top of the line and he took care of all of our needs on the boat and made it such a great experience. Caught some really nice peacocks was a special trip

Trip: Offshore Sport Fishing
★★★★★
Amazing cast and blast day! Captain Justin is dedicated to getting you on fish and iguanas. We had a great day filled with five different species of fish and plenty of iguanas (14). We will definitely book another trip in the future! I highly recommend the homemade shore lunch. We had lemongrass chicken and it was great! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!

Trip: Cast And Blast Adventures
★★★★★
Great experience. Slow day, only had one "big fish" in the boat which made the day, we had the option to stop trolling and get little fish so overall fun day great experience

Trip: Trolling Trip - 30' Dusky
★★★★★
Dominic was great. He really knew his way around.And we saw very many iguanas. We shot about twenty five and recovered eighteen of them. A third SCOPED rifle would have been perfect.But we had a great time nonetheless. I would definitely do it again.
