Captain George is one of those Captains that just has the bug. Captain George may be young, but he's is full of that firey passion that all the best guides have. It's everything about the Florida keys estuary for him. From the beautiful grass flats littering the lower keys, to the mangrove biome North at Flamingo, to the offshore waters just south in the Atlantic. There is no better place to grow up for an avid fisherman like himself. Captain George has two boats a 16' technical poling skiff for maneuvering the flats and everglades, and a 27' center console for exploring the deep water. Head out with him for a great time out on the water!

Everything Else to Know

I highly recommend sunglasses that we will primarily be sight fishing for the Peacock bass. Your drinks for the day. Artificial lures will be provided but for an added experience I would recommend fishing with livebait, the customer would assume the cost of the livebait. A few dozen Shiners are around $50 depending on market price.
You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.
We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).
Cancel for free up to 3 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account. Cancelling within 3 of the trip will forfeit your deposit to the guide. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.
In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

George was great. Incredibly knowledgeable, charming, and patient. He was prepared to fish for all kinds of fish of different size and environs. We hooked a couple sharks, barracudas, yellowtail snappers, and a Goliath grouper. Great fun and we feel like we made a friend.

What a great time! My son and I enjoyed our trip. Fishing the flats and mangroves was a great new experience it and I can’t wait to do it again. We caught a very large barracuda and found many tarpon. The boat was great for flats fishing. Our captain was good guide and very personable. We do it again for sure. Thank you
