Fishing has been slow, water temperature too hot and sea weed has been brutal . Alot of small mahi, some cudas, but snapper fishing has been pretty good.

Non stop action on the morning half with this family from North Florida! Got on the peacocks good on the docks then went deep for a clown and they were just as thick

Awesome trip! Ron really put my son and I on the peacock bass!! Made for a great 8th birthday for Reese!

Trip: Weekend Shoreline Peacock Bass
★★★★★
A terrific experience all around. Even though we didn’t catch many fish! As the crew said, that’s why they call it fishing and not catching! Still, we had a wonderful time and a lot of fun.

Fantastic trip! It was our first time fishing anything but lakes and rivers. Alek was a great captain to take us out for this! He filleted all the fish we caught which we thought we were gonna have to find somewhere to process them to take back home with us. Thanks Alek! We will definitely book with you again!

Bryan was awesome. He put us on multiple species of fish. We had a blast. His knowledge of the area was great and he knew how to manage the water which was nice cause the water was rough.

Charles was such a great guide. He did everything to make our day as special as he could. I would highly recommend a trip with Charles and I'll be back for sure.

Trip: Peacock Bass + Iguana Cast & Blast
★★★★★
Captain Ricky was an awesome guy. It was a full moon, rainy,windy type day and he did about all he could do to get us on fish. The only improvement I felt he could make better for his clients is having Right and Left handed reels onboard. Both of us felt awkward using left side handled bait casting reels.

Trip: Fun Full Day Peacocks And Exotics
★★★★★
We did the cast and blast trip and were able to check a couple things off the list. One of the guys in our group was really wanting to catch a snakehead and got it done, and I was able to knock a peacock bass off my bucket list as well. We also got some good iguanas during the hunting portion of the trip. The equipment provided was top notch, especially the guns, and everything was handled with a strong focus on safety. For someone new to this type of trip, there’s definitely an opportunity to experience a little bit of everything.
