About Your Trip

COME EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF TARGETING SOUTH FL'S VIBRANT AND AGGRESSIVE PEACOCK BASS!

This is a land-based, fully customizable fishing adventure that will have you exploring some of the best peacock bass hotspots in the region. The trip typically runs about 2-4 hours, depending on your preference, and we'll hit a variety of local canals, lakes, and hidden gems in the greater South Florida area. Distances between spots are short, allowing for more time fishing and less time driving.

Our trip is designed for anglers who love the challenge and excitement of peacock bass fishing WITHOUT the need for a boat. We'll guide you to prime fishing locations that we've scouted over decades of fishing in the area, and we'll use proven land-based techniques and gear to put you on the fish! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, we'll tailor the trip to your skill level and desired style. We provide top-quality rods, reels, and tackle - so you don't need to worry about bringing your own gear!

What makes this trip special is the personal touch and local expertise we bring as your guide. We know the waters, the behavior of the fish, and the best techniques to use. We'll share insights on presentation for aggressive strikes, how to sight-fish for peacocks, and how to land them successfully. You'll also get to enjoy the scenic, tropical surroundings of South Florida's urban and suburban waterways. This trip is perfect for anglers who want to immerse themselves in the local fishing culture and experience the unique thrill of battling peacock bass on foot.

Every trip is customizable. If you prefer a specific location or trip duration, we are happy to adjust the plan to meet your goals. Target species include peacock bass as the star of the show, but we'll also have opportunities to hook up with Snakeheads, Mayan Cichlids, Alligator Gar and other exciting catches. Whether you're looking for a fun day out or to hone your skills with a knowledgable guide, we have you covered!

The Story of South Florida’s Premier Land-Based Peacock Bass Fishing Adventure

Born from a deep love of fishing and the wild, untamed spirit of South Florida’s waters, our business is more than just a fishing guide service — it’s a tribute to the culture, challenge, and thrill of chasing the most aggressive and colorful freshwater gamefish in the region: the peacock bass.

It all started with one angler’s relentless passion for the sport. After decades of fishing every corner of South Florida, from urban canals to hidden suburban lakes, the realization hit: you don’t need a boat to experience world-class fishing. With the right local knowledge, gear, and techniques, land-based anglers could hook into the same explosive action as boaters — often with more excitement and less hassle.

Driven by this idea, we set out to create a fishing experience like no other. Our mission is simple: to give every angler — from curious beginners to seasoned veterans — the chance to explore the heart of South Florida’s peacock bass fishery, all from the shoreline. We’ve spent years scouting locations, studying fish behavior, refining techniques, and perfecting our gear to ensure every trip we lead offers not just a chance to catch fish, but a full immersion into the vibrant, tropical waterscapes of South Florida.

What makes us different is our personal approach. Every trip is tailored to the angler. We don’t just guide you to a spot and hand you a rod — we share our insights, coach you on presentations, and help you understand the behavior of these aggressive, hard-fighting fish. Our sessions are about more than just catching; they’re about building skills, confidence, and a deeper connection to the waters we fish.

Our land-based adventures are designed with accessibility and flexibility in mind. Whether you’ve got two hours or a full day, we’ll craft a trip that fits your schedule and your goals. No boat? No problem. We provide top-quality rods, reels, and tackle, so you can show up with nothing more than your excitement and readiness for action. We’ll take care of the rest.

Over the years, we’ve helped countless anglers experience the thrill of sight-fishing for peacock bass, watching them charge lures with unmatched ferocity, and feeling the jolt of a solid hookset. We’ve seen first-time anglers land their first trophy fish and seasoned pros push their skills to new heights. It’s this shared passion and the unforgettable memories we help create that fuel everything we do.

As we continue to grow, our commitment remains rooted in local expertise, authenticity, and a genuine love for the sport. We believe fishing should be fun, challenging, and deeply rewarding, and we’re here to make sure every trip delivers on that promise.

This isn’t just a business — it’s a lifestyle. It’s about embracing the pulse of South Florida’s waterways, respecting the fish and the environment, and sharing the stoke with every client who steps onto the bank with us. Whether you’re chasing your first peacock bass or your hundredth, we’ll be right there with you, sharing tips, stories, and the pure joy of fishing.
