“Fantastic guide. Managed to catch six out of seven fish species. Really enjoyed the trip, great with children. John is the man, and his partner Kevin is a wonderful person. Highly recommend.”

“Thank you so much for the experience out on the water. I was quite disappointed because our main goal was to catch snakeheads, but we ended up fishing in a drainage ditch next to the highway for baby gar, which is something I could have done near my own home. The guide did his best with the situation, but it wasn’t what we expected. After changing dates and guides multiple times, we stayed longer in Florida just for this trip. It would have been better if we were told upfront that the trip couldn’t be arranged at this time, and perhaps rescheduled for another date.” — Dale

You requested a last-minute trip and we arranged one for you with Jonathan at the soonest available time—just five days from your inquiry. While you caught a number of peacock bass and hooked some other fish during your three-hour trip, we understand the disappointment of missing your targeted catch. We’ll keep reaching out so we can offer you a discount for a future trip and provide an improved experience next time.”
