Michael is the man! Not only did we catch giant peacocks and a tonic iguanas (and one invasive Muscovy duck), but he gave us a wealth of insight into the environmental issues currently facing south Florida. Honorable mention goes to his retriever Scout.

Eight hours was not enough time for this adventure. As you are fishing/hunting they are also teaching you about the species ...Read More

Captain Michael exceeded our expectations. We had some very cold water temps which affected the peacock bass fishing but Mike still got us on other species's of fish. My boys really liked gigging the armoured catfish and they were plentiful. Now off to my favorite part, hunting iguana! ...Read More

If your in Florida look up Mike for an iguana hunt. Mike put us on the iguana with plenty of shot opportunities. My 11 and 13 year old put 18 in the boat in 4hrs. Very cool experience.
