About Your Trip

Embark on an exciting fishing adventure with us, where you'll have the chance to pursue a variety of species, including Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, Snakehead, and Clown Knifefish. We fish Lake Osborne, Lake Ida, and all connecting canals and waterways, offering diverse and vibrant fishing environments.

We welcome anglers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. If it’s your first time giving angling a try, let us know, and we’ll provide all trip-specific information, along with recommended practice beforehand to ensure you have a great experience.

While we provide all necessary fishing gear, including medium light Megabass spinning rods paired with 2500 size Shimano reels, you’re welcome to bring your own equipment if you prefer. This setup is ideal for live bait and smaller artificial lures, perfectly suited for peacock bass, largemouth bass, and other species.

In the spirit of conservation, we operate as a strictly catch-and-release outfit, dedicated to preserving trophy game fish populations for future generations of anglers.

We provide bottled water and have extra cooler space for any drinks and snacks you'd like to bring. Get ready for a memorable day on the water!

About Your Guide

Garrett N.

Independent Guide

Hi, I'm Garrett! I currently take folks on freshwater and saltwater fishing charters in south Florida. I operate mainly on Osborne and Ida as well as the everglades and we run saltwater trips out of Pompano Beach.

I grew up fishing since I was three years old learning everything from my dad and good 'ol trial and error. After years of working in many different jobs and a stint in the Air Force I found an opportunity to get into this business and I took that leap of faith and never looked back.

I run two boats depending on what we're doing that day. For freshwater I use a 21 foot Tracker Grizzly 2072 with a 90 hp Mercury outboard and for saltwater I have a 30 foot SeaVee 290i cuddy with a 420 Yanmar. I operate saltwater charters with a good friend who has also been fishing here since early childhood so it's always a team effort when we're going offshore.

As for what sets me apart from other guides, it's very common for a lot of guides to never run as far or as hard as they could have to ensure you get what you came for. I don't operate like that. We will run until we find fish. If you aren't happy we're not happy.

Outside of guiding people on fishing trips I spend a lot of time reading and working on some kind of project but for the most part fishing really does consume my life and I like it that way. I've been extremely fortunate to travel the world and have a lot of amazing adventures. I hunt a bit here and there and I've been to Africa on safari several times. I really enjoy music and socializing with my people so going to concerts has always been a big deal to me.

When you book with me you're getting to take on that bucket list trip with me and a team of people who genuinely care about being the best in the business. Reputation is everything and we don't waste a single opportunity to prove we are the best down here. We are sportsmen first and getting to take you along and bring that fish to hand you've been dreaming about is what we live to do.

What was your last halloween costume?

What do you want for Christmas this year?

I always tell everyone just pick up a lure of some kind from the shop and I'm happy!

How did you get started guiding?

You just gotta take a step out in faith and go for it! I had the dream and I eventually decided that trying and failing would be better than never trying at all. The opportunity came up and I took it

What makes you different from other guides?

I'm thankful to be here. I worked the jobs that were going nowhere and I pulled all the overtime. I know what it's like to be on that assembly line or in that cubicle and being so willing to give anything to be where I am now. I know how it feels to be a client on a trip you've been looking forward to for months or years and hoping your guide cares enough to go the extra mile for you and earn your business and more importantly your RESPECT. Getting to do this for a living is a big dream for a lot of people and I never take it for granted. We hunt'em down and put fish in the boat every day because it's what we're born to do
