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!

Lake Okeechobee is a little slow right now. You've got to be on the water at daybreak- if you do, you'll still catch a couple chunks. And also keep your eye out for schooling bass in their summertime pattern. We need some freshwater in the lake, but good times nonetheless catching them on Rattle Trap spinnerbait and a Senko Okeechobee majic. It's a good time to take your kids, wife, father, son, etc for half a day of fishing. Then get home in time in the afternoon for some football!

★★★★★
We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.

Trip: Iguana Hunt
★★★★★
We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Offshore
★★★★★
We came down for a bachelor trip, and Charlie made it unforgettable! He’s an incredible guide — hands down the best in the Fort Lauderdale area for iguana hunts. There’s no comparison; Charlie’s knowledge, energy, and hospitality put him miles ahead of anyone else, including the Python Cowboy. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had such a great time on this charter! Captain Nelson and his mate Jordan delivered an A+ experience. We are on a business trip and we did this as a team building exercise. All of us caught fish and enjoyed the time! Would highly recommend!

★★★★★
It can be overwhelming looking for the right fishing Captain coming from out of state. Let us save you some time. I would highly recommend Captain Dave. He knows where you put your on fish. He was a lot of fun to share fishing stories with and it was the best fishing day ever for my son. 5 stars!
