I was really disappointed, The whole purpose of booking this trip was to catch snakeheads. Instead we essentially tried to fish a drainage next to the interstate for baby gar. Something I could've done behind our house He did his best with what he had to work with but it was not at all what we were led to believe. After being moved around with different days and guides we stayed longer in Florida to do this trip. It would have been fine just to say "Sorry, but we are unable to accommodate you this week maybe we can do again later ". Dale

Hey Dale. We were sorry to see this review come through and are hoping we can get you on the phone to make it right. You requested a very last minute trip and we got you set up with Jonathan at the earliest available date (5 days after you reached out). It sounds like you caught a bunch of peacock bass and broke off on some other fish in a short 3 hour trip, but...

You requested a very last minute trip and we got you set up with Jonathan at the earliest available date (5 days after you reached out). It sounds like you caught a bunch of peacock bass and broke off on some other fish in a short 3 hour trip, but we understand the feeling when you don't get your target species. We’ll keep trying to reach you so we can get you a discount on a future trip and get you back out there, and hopefully we can get you a better experience next time.
