Our peacocks are still on fire, just got to know where to find them this time of year. Catching 30-40 per 4 hour trip on live bait. We had a guy from Tennessee on Sunday that got 37 peacocks and had the trip of his lifetime!

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: 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.
