Had the best time with Brett on our iguana hunt. Brett was hilarious and knew exactly where every hiding spot was regardless of the fact that it’s been so cold in Florida for the iguanas. Added bonus was he’s got the best playlist going and really just made for a relaxing and fun hunt. I usually get sea sick and he constantly checked on me. This was the first time in 46 years I never...

I booked this trip because my son wanted to catch some peacock bass and I wanted to hunt iguana so it worked for both of us. We started out hunting iguanas. It was fun but very challenging to spot iguanas hidden in the trees. Captin Brett was a pro at it. After a couple hours of hunting we started fishing. We were catching alot of fish but the peacock seem elude us. Captin Brett worked very hard to put us on some peacock and after a couple hours of fishing and a several different locations we got into some and continued to catch them for the next hour. Then whole trip was awesome and a great success. Thank again Captin Brett

I have a mixed review regarding Captain Brett. The night before our trip was to begin, he called to inform us that we needed a Florida fishing license. The description of the trip specifically said that no Florida license was required because the captain would have one for the entire boat. We had to scramble to obtain one from the Florida recreation website. This also cost more than what they said was covered in the trip. We found out later that the captain simply did not want to wait in line to get his commercial fishing license for his boat, which he said was an all-day affair. He was making the customers obtain their own licenses. It wouldn't have been too big a deal if he or the Captain Experiences website would have informed us up front to give us time to make the arrangements.

On the positive side, the fishing conditions were challenging on the day of our trip with high winds, but Captain Brett stayed out with us long past our allotted four hours to insure we caught some fish. Both me and my brother-in-law eventually caught the two biggest Jack Crevalle we had ever landed. I did hook a tarpon. and fought him for about 15 minutes, before he got off the line.

Overall, it was a fun trip, but the licensing stress was unnecessary.

Captain Britt was great! By far the most knowledgeable fishing guide we have ever had. Ask to target peacock bass and on my third cast had one in the boat. In total we put 50+ fish in the boat in 6hrs. Had a great time, Thanks captain Britt!
