 How do I make reservations?

Does the guide fish?

Yes & No, While you are shiner fishing your guide will not fish are less asked to. If your artificial fishing your guide may fish with you if needed. This mainly is to establish the pattern for that day or to boost your confidence that the fish are in the area. We do assure you though that your guide will not "front end" you or catch all the fish once a pattern is established. This is your fishing adventure and we are full-time professionals!

What size & style of boat do we run?

Most all of us fish out of brand "New" Skeeter bass boats powered by Yamaha motors. Over 3/4 of the team have them with the others soon receiving them. They range from 18' to 22' and are built for comfort and have plenty of storage, these are the nicest boats you will get to fish out of anywhere.

Start Time?

We prefer to begin the majority of our trips at daybreak.  But, will schedule trips to begin at other times upon request.  Expect to be on the water for at least an hour longer than your scheduled trip.  We do not count time only fish! If were meeting at the Hilton recommended start time is between 7 & 8am to be pick upped at the docks. If were meeting at the tackle shop the meeting time will be approximate 1 hour earlier.

What should I Expect?

Expect to have FUN!  Everyone wants to catch that once in a lifetime trophy fish.  Unfortunately, we don't catch them all the time.  So, just come enjoy yourself and appreciate everything you put in the boat.  We will do our best though, to try and get you that trophy Peacock bass! 

Women & Children: 

 Restroom facilities are usually close by most fishing areas.  We have no problem taking restroom breaks when needed.  We enjoy working with women or children and instructing them on various fishing techniques, so all family members are welcome.

Group & Company Trips:

  We can arrange for multiple boats/guides, as many days as you'd like to fish.  We are located close to Ft Lauderdale and Miami attractions.  Big fish tournaments with a weigh-in can also be arranged.  Just let us know what you want to do, and we'll set it up.
