Peacock Bass: Floridas Fiery Fish

Florida is well-known for its fantastic beaches and dazzling nightlife, but for those who prefer a more natural adventure, then look no farther than Floridasexotic fishing opportunities! Even those afraid of the ocean can still reel in a feisty fish originally from the Amazon--"the peacock bass".

Peacock bass are popular on exotic fishing trips in Florida, so they are a staple in any guided charter. These guides can help get you to the biggest and most aggressive fish around! Check out these guides to help plan your next fishing adventure in Florida.

This is a private charter with limited seats on our 21 ft pro-tournament bass boats. Our Pro-Staff is the best in our area. Each of our Pro-Staff are constantly involved in fishing tournaments when not booked for a charter. Yes, we fish on our days off too.

This hunt is becoming more and more popular every day. We have put together an amazing experience of Guided Air Rifle Iguana Hunts in South Florida. Captain Gene coordinates and secures the hunts with professional Pro-Staff and hunting guides. With our team, we can set up and coordinate a hunt like no others. We started this hunting service back in September 2014 in Puerto Rico and it went live immediately - it was a huge success and game changer. Come join us for a new crazy hunt "NOW" in Florida and grab some trigger time...

We are an elite guide service. Trophy hunts are our specialty , we are not nuisance pest removers but a true guided Air Rifle hunt by boat.

Catering to small groups and more adventurous folks, we're known for taking the less traveled paths and going a little further into the wilderness. It's what sets our tours apart from the more mainstream tourist Exotic companies. It also fits well with our philosophy of incorporating conservation and educational initiatives with invasive species programs, such as the Green Iguanas. It is a pleasure to announce that I am the first person of the US mainland, to bring and promote "Guided Air Rifle " Hunts to Florida in 2019, using only High Powered PCP Air Rifles in .22 cal and 25 cal. This style of hunting is the new craze!! Trophy Limits-No Seasons-Hunt anytime.

Captain Steve was awesome! He was patient with my 10 year old son and was very knowledgeable about what we were hunting and the area. I would highly recommend, plus we shot a lot of Iguana's.

We had a great time. Our guide Jose was really cool. Bud was another guide that showed us the ropes. Steve was kind of rude. For us to pay that kind of money to go out there he talked to us pretty disrespectfully even though we were very safe and easy going. Just an FYI
