For peacock bass fishing in South Florida, this is the best time of the year to catch a trophy. The peacocks are already pairing up and we are seeing some beds starting to show up. This past weekend, each of our trips have averaged about 10 to 15 fish per person for a two hour trip. The average size has been over 3 pounds each, in other words, big fish. We don't have many slots open, but but as soon as possible, if you plan on coming to South Florida anytime in March.

Well temperatures in Everglades National Park are back to normal and their fish are starting to behave as they're supposed to starting to see a lot of trout redfish, snook, black drum, sheep, head, and snapper all over the Everglades and in the interior of the park on the outside Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. I have reports of really big cobia about 20 miles out in the golf. Also big snappers and mackerel are biting pretty hard out in Florida Bay and the golf that's my fishing report for February 2 February 4 February 7, February 8...

With the cold fronts in the past, the winter months have produced warmer water temperatures and even hotter fishing.

Fishing of Miami Beach has been super hot this month and it's starting to pick up one spring time gets here all hell's going to break loose mahi-mahi wahoo, black fin tuna are just starting to heat up trolling in live. Bathing has been the best methods. I recommend a three-quarter day or full day it just gives you that little bit of extra time to get you on the fish.

Last January as we started our morning out we were running along the coast when I saw a big dark shape. It turned out to be a giant school of the largest bluefish I've ever seen. Bluefish aren't a fish we target in south Florida, but I would if they were like these. We caught over a dozen and probably lost just as many. But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over...

State record was just over 20 pounds and we had a bunch bigger than that. Unfortunately, I have seen them since that morning.

This September off the Islamorada hump we caught an estimate 200-250lb blue marlin on 20lb line He ate the short bait behind the boat and went ballistic! Right in front of the whole fleet fishing at the hump. Epic! We landed him in 45 minutes on a shimano TLD 25.

    My wife, my son, and i went on a 4 hour Everglades trip with Jose and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We caught probably 40-50 fish in 4 hours! Jose was incredibly friendly and entertaining. I would absolutely pay to fish with him again.

    Quick trip to Miami over the Father’s Day Weekend! Father, son, daughter fishing trip with Chris. Great trip, Chris took are of all our needs, put us on fish, not everyone landed the fish we hooked up on, had Kings break us off, fun nonetheless. Did manage to land lunch, nice 20-25lb African Pompano, great eating. Had a Great Tine, we’ll definitely book Chris the next time I’m down visiting my daughter💪🏼🎣
