About Your Trip

Are you ready to catch one of the most beautiful freshwater fish in south Florida? Fishing With Jake offers 2 hour and 4 hour charters where we will focus on catching peacock bass in Fort Lauderdale. We guarantee that you will catch some of these incredible fish.

Our fishing charter is different from everyone else. We don’t use a boat so you don’t have to worry about getting seasick. We meet at one of the Bait And Tackle stores where you buy the live bait. After that you will get into one of our vehicles, and we will take you to anywhere from 5-10 of our best fishing spots.

We love fishing with everyone including all ages and all skill levels. We provide all of the fishing gear including spinning rods and the hooks. The only thing that you should bring is polarize sunglasses and sunscreen.

Jake, Ron, and Zach have been running this Peacock bass operation for the last 4 years. After years of collecting permission to fish over 70 private ponds around Fort Lauderdale, they decided to share their best fishing holes with clients. Jake runs trips full-time during the summer months, and Jake, Ron, and Zach run trips year-round. They catch so many fish on these short trips that they like to say, if their clients aren't worn...

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!...

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

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.
