Jake, Ron, and Zach have run this Peacock bass operation for over six years. After spending years getting permission to fish over 80 ponds around Fort Lauderdale, they decided to share their best fishing spots with clients. Jake and Zach run most weekday trips full-time during the summer, spring break, and winter break while Ron guides year-round. They catch so many fish on these short trips that they like to say—if your thumbs aren’t sore (or even bleeding!) by the end, they didn’t do their job. They 100% guarantee you’ll catch peacock bass.

They also offer iguana hunting combo trips, which are either four or six hours long. This fast-paced, action-heavy experience pairs well with fishing. Pricing starts at $600.

Had a great time. Jake got us on the fish and moved spots when things slowed down. All 4 of us caught multiple fish. We were very happy and will definitely book it again next year.

Ron was awesome! As soon as the bait was cast, a fish was caught! My son has recently developed a passion for fresh water fishing and we could never catch anything. Ron definitely knows where to go and gave great tips and advice on how to find fish and how to catch them! We caught around 20 fish in just a couple hours, including a 5 lb peacock bass and a huge snakehead! Unbelievable!...
