About Your Guide

Ricky M.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide

My name is Cpt Ricky, I’m a south FL native born and raised right here in west palm beach FL! I’ve been fishing since I was 10 and guiding since 2019, I have a passion and serious addiction to fresh water fishing in south FL, from largemouth bass and bluegills, to the exotic Peacock Bass and Clown knife fish, I’ve dedicated my life to finding and figuring out these elusive creatures and I’m passionate about sharing the experience of catching them with others. Wether it be on my home lake in west palm beach, out on the “big pond” Lake Okeechobee, or at my new location out west on Arther R. Marshall Loxahatchee national wildlife refuge the northern most part of the Florida Everglades, I can’t wait to have you on my boat and start making memories of a life time!

Had a blast with captain Ricky. Super knowledgeable and a great time. Got into a bunch of fish and got to catch a few I’ve never even seen before. Highly recommend him as a guide.

Top notch charter! Ricky was experienced and knows the waters. Guide handled the work and I caught the fish. Couldn’t ask for more. Oh, and if you’re open to taking some fishing tips on how to real in the big ones, you’ll probably land more fish.
