About Your Trip

This will be a quick land based trip with very high sucess rates. I will show you local techniques that are sure to catch peacock bass year around. We will most likely be sight fishing if the conditions allow so bring a good pair of polarized sunglasses. I highly recommend 2 dozen live shiners for this trip. I don’t sell bait but will gladly pick them up for you at the local bait-shop at market price. These fish can also be targeted using artificial lures if you are experienced but shiners will guarantee your success. This is the perfect trip for those that want to knock peacock bass off their bucket list but don’t have all day to fish or want to do it in a budget friendly manner.

Hi, I’m Captain Randy. I’ve been fishing South Florida my entire life. My favorite kinds of fishing are live baiting for peacock bass and kite fishing for sailfish. The only thing I like better than fishing myself is seeing people catch there first fish or first of a species they’ve always dreamed of catching. I’m a laid back but results driven guide. I fish at a tournament pace and go as far as necessary to...

What do you want for Christmas this year?

To catch a 10lb peacock bass.

How did you get started guiding?

I’ve loved fishing since I was 5 years old and caught my first peacock bass and while it’s still my favorite thing ever I was able to recreate that excitement of that first big fish until I started guiding. That excitement of putting a kid or first timer on a big fish and seeing their eyes pop is what I live for. I hope to make all of my clients love fishing as much as I do.

What makes you different from other guides?

I can cater to both the tournament angler chasing peacock bass on topwater and the first timers. I’m not strictly a live bait fisherman I have great success with artificial lures.
