Summer fishing is kicking off with a blast. The peacocks and largemouth are active and hungry. As the water temperatures continue to warm up and as we get more rain, the bite is only going to get better. We’re catching anywhere between 8-20+ fish during our 2hr trip and 20-30+ during our 4hr trips!

The early summer pattern has been producing some incredible action, especially early and late afternoon bites. Most of our fish have been around 2-4 pounds, with some bigger ones mixed in as well. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking to knock peacocks off your bucket list or just want a fun day catching some fish and learning about the area, now is one of the best times of the year to come out.

Spring time fishing has been nothing short of incredible lately! We’ve had consistent action across the board, with many trips producing a great variety of species including sailfish, mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, and kingfish. Some days it feels like you never know what’s going to show up next, which is what makes this time of year so exciting offshore.
The conditions have lined up perfectly and the fish have been cooperating, giving our clients steady bites and unforgettable experiences on the water. Whether trolling, kite fishing, or fishing live bait, the action has stayed consistent and we truly couldn’t ask for better spring fishing right now!

Jose was an excellent guide and put us on a ton of fish and was very accommodating when we were running alittle behind. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get out on the water and having a goodtime.

Timothy was awesome!! Super knowledgeable of the water, gave great instructive criticism. Collectively we hauled in 15+ fish on a 4 hour charter and had a blast doing it. Without a doubt, I would book another charter with Timothy.

He was very knowledgeable about where to go fishing and when we followed his suggestions, we caught fish. He was really laid-back and cool. And he was quick to help net the fish and bait the hook. We got our target species as well as more. I would 100% recommend Jose for anyone who wants to go fishing.

My family and I had a freaking BLAST with Captain Carlos and Reefs to Rivers! He is an absolute professional; very competent, extremely knowledgeable, and great with kids (even a 5 year old little girl who couldn’t have cared less about hunting iguanas - he made her the official “retriever,” which she loved lol). Carlos put us on tons of iguanas and the action was hot and heavy. We added this hunt onto the tail end of a Disney trip and my 10 year old son said it was better than anything we experienced at Disney. Highly recommend to anyone looking to give iguana hunting a shot (pun intended). We will be booking with Captain Carlos again soon - he is the real deal.

We had good day, not a lot of bites but not for the lack of effort. Looking forward to next time

Had a blast with captain Ricky. Super knowledgeable and a great time. Got into a bunch of fish and got to catch a few I’ve never even seen before. Highly recommend him as a guide.
