We will be fishing one of the best bodies of water in South Florida. Guaranteed fish or no payment is required. I will help you check off the Butterfly Peacock bass from your bucket list. George has had access to these water for multiple years. We will be using light tackle spinning rods, live bait or artificial lures work very well. We also have the option to catch them fly fishing!

Captain George is one of those Captains that just has the bug. Captain George may be young, but he's is full of that firey passion that all the best guides have. It's everything about the Florida keys estuary for him. From the beautiful grass flats littering the lower keys, to the mangrove biome North at Flamingo, to the offshore waters just south in the Atlantic. There is no better place to grow up for an avid fisherman like himself. Captain George has two boats a ... Read More

Packing / Extras

Everything you'll need for your trip
I highly recommend sunglasses that we will primarily be sight fishing for the Peacock bass. Your drinks for the day. Artificial lures will be provided but for an added experience I would recommend fishing with livebait, the customer would assume the cost of the livebait. A few dozen Shiners are around $50 depending on market price.

Verified Review Fishing

George was great. Incredibly knowledgeable, charming, and patient. He was prepared to fish for all kinds of fish of different size and environs. We hooked a couple sharks, barracudas, yellowtail snappers, and a Goliath grouper. Great fun and we feel like we made a friend.

Response from George:

Thank you Carlos! It was a pleasure to fish you and you guys are always welcome to fish on my boat again.
