We caught at least 25-30 peacocks that morning! Captain Yoan is simply the best. If you’re in Miami area you need take a trip with him!

Best two days of guided fishing we’ve ever had! More Black bass and Peacock bass than we could count. If you want a guide that will work hard to put you on the fish, this is the man to use. We will definitely be back!! Thanks again for ...Read More a memorable trip my friend.

Captain Yoan was a great host, we ended up catching 15 and lost several. Captain Yoan showed us where and how to catch and was a great driver in high winds.
