About Your Trip

Freshwater Peacock and Clown knife fish are a very fun option for kids and anyone looking for quantity over quality! It can be as hands on as you want, skipping baits under docks or as chill as you want floating live bait down the lake. Trolling motor on the boat to help us spot lock infront of docks you want to cast for those big peacocks or bridges you want to work for clown knife fish. We have a good by catch of Large Mouth Bass, Snake heads and Sunshine Bass. This trip isn't as intense as offshore or inshore but a ton of fun for everyone looking to catch some fish!!!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
