Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for peacock bass in Florida as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but topwater fishing and sight casting are popular as well.

How much does a Florida peacock bass fishing trip cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Chris did an awesome job guiding us on our iguana hunt. The day was very windy and he said that ther were a lot less iguanas out. He managed to find us some in the afternoon and stayed out a little longer to help us get some iguanas. We ended the day with 5 in the cooler, and we missed a few more. Chris was very patient with my boys and we had a great time!

    Trip: Peacock Bass + Iguana Cast & Blast

  • ★★★★★
    JP was an amazing guide. He took us to a few great spots where we found some awesome variety of fish species. Coming from Chicago, it was a great experience to find Oscars, Cichlids, Gar, Dogfish, and a few big schools of Largemouth Bass. Going through the Everglades we saw a bunch of Alligators and other cool wildlife too. My son will talk about this trip for years to come, he'll never forget it. Thanks JP!

    Trip: Lake Okeechobee Trip - 21’ Ranger

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolute blast on our peacock bass and iguana hunt! Random cold front had the peacock bass hiding but Charles still made sure to still find us a few. Just when we thought it couldn’t get more fun, we switched gears and went full “Florida safari” mode chasing iguanas. This was the highlight of our trip. Charles was awesome super knowledgeable, laid-back, and kept the vibes fun the whole time. Plenty of laughs, great shots, and even better stories to take home. 10/10 would do it again! Thanks sir!
