Timothy Qualls West Palm Beach, Florida Reported: 3 weeks ago

The fishing has been good. With the wind, rain, and moving water these clown knife fish are on the move and hungry. Catching a lot of other fun species as well including largemouth bass, cichlids, crappie ,catfish and more. The peacock bite is still slow after the 2 major freezes we had in south florida but we are still getting them every once in a while.

The everglades largemouth bite has been amazing. These fish are in the spawn/post spawn stage and they are heavy and hungry. We are catching them on artificial no love bait needed. There are some peacock bass biting as well on shiners and these trips are available to. Lets go fishing.

Had the best experience with captain Roman, Captain Den and Captain Aaron! They went out of there ways to take care us. Caught plenty of fish and had them cook fresh! Everything was delicious.

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Fishing Adventure
★★★★★
I’ve been on many fishing trips - few captains have taken care of our group as well as Captain Alek did. Insightful, hard working, knows where the fish are. Can’t recommend highly enough. 100% choose him to guide your next trip.

Trip: Miami Sport Fishing 🎣

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

What a day! JP was outstanding! He was great at showing us technique and coaching us all day long. His expertise of the area was evident immediately. We moved spots and had success at every stop. Caught BIG BASS, largemouth and peacocks. We will be back, only with JP!

Trip: Lake Okeechobee Trip - 21’ Ranger
★★★★★
I’ve been on many charter fishing trips in my life, but Bryan is hands down my favorite guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The highlight of the trip was catching a monstrous 300-400lb shark—an experience I will never forget, and one that wouldn't have happened without the Captain’s expertise and help. Beyond the fishing, Bryan is just a fun, personable guy to hang out with. I really appreciated his coaching style; he taught us exactly what to do and then stepped back to let us actually fish, only jumping in with pointers when needed. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back for another trip!
