The fishing has been great the best few weeks with the warming water. Pilchards and thread fans are the Bait of choice.

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.

Very personable, friendly, and was accommodating to a young teenager. Very fun trip!

Unfortunately the Everglades had up to 3 inches of rain the night before, therefore the fishing was not good. He then hooked us up with Greg Hutch and we salt water fished the following morning. Had fun with both, just better fishing in the ocean.

10/10 we had a great time, Jose was great. He knew where all the big fish were, and I ended up catching my personal best large mouth bass! Definitely recommend Jose with captain experiences, we are definitely gonna book with him again in the future!

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!

Bite seems a little tough this year from what we heard, but Ted was still able to put us on some fish! Great service.

JP was an amazing guide. He took us to a few great spots where we found some awesome variety of fish species. Coming from Chicago, it was a great experience to find Oscars, Cichlids, Gar, Dogfish, and a few big schools of Largemouth Bass. Going through the Everglades we saw a bunch of Alligators and other cool wildlife too. My son will talk about this trip for years to come, he'll never forget it. Thanks JP!

José was great! He was very chill but knowledgeable and showed us where to look (for Iguanas) and how to aim and shoot.
