  Levi put us on the fish! He was extremely courteous and very knowledgeable about the areas we fished. Highly recommend him

  My son and I fished with Capt. Mike 2 days in a row and had an amazing time. We hammered the Peacocks and caught several other species as well. Capt.Mike... read more is the real deal. We will be fishing with him several times in the upcoming year. If you want to catch Fish look no further...Capt. Mike is your man hands down.

  Been fishing with Capt Nate for 7 years and value each trip we get together. Forty to sixty fish days are not uncommon. Its like being with an old... read more friend-one that takes you on your best day fishing you've had all year. Then you go the next day and its even BETTER! Nate represents his trade with integrity and devotion. He shows up to work and is prepared with the knowledge of where the fish are. You can hem and haw about which guide to choose or what price to pay but I'm on the phone with him right now booking my next trip.

  We booked this trip on Feb 25th and got confirmation. We drove one hour to this place. An accident happened on the way there. I tried to... read more call the number listed on the ticket confirmation. to let the tour guide know that we will be 5 min late. The phone number was for Bass Fishing Guides Comp. After getting all the info from me, the operator told me that she couldn't find my reservation, even though I had the confirmation right on my phone. When we followed Google map to get to Blackwater Ln, couldn't find the 25130 Blackwater Ln. There was no street name posted. I asked some people near by, they told me I was on the Blackwater Ln, but they did not know anything about St John's River Fishing tour. We were sent back and forth across the bridge trying to find the tour guide. So we don't know if our booking was actually got to the tour guide and where the exact location of this tour is. Very disappointing, after half tank of gas used and 1.5 hours trying to find this place, and no fishing tour!!!!!!

  My friend and I hired fishing guild Mark Rogers. As a new fisherman, actually my first-time fishing, Mark did a phenomenal job. He was both knowledgeable and patient. Due... read more to the cold weather front that rolled through Naples, he warned us that the catching Peacock Bass may be challenging. We caught Peacock Bass! I had a great time with Mark and look forward to our next trip.
Thanks Mark,

  Booked an 8 hour trip with Bobby Kimble on Lake Ida. We were fishing shortly after a cold front and Bobby warned us the fishing might be slow, but... read more we decided to try it, and very glad we did. Ended the day with 32 fish, including 20 peacock bass and 7 other species. We had a blast. Bobby is not only very knowledgeable about fishing, but a ton of fun to spend a day with. I'd highly recommend Bobby to anyone who loves fishing and wants to enjoy a great day on the water.

  Fishing with Captain Bret again he knows were the fish are. We caught over 30 Peacock Bass,Large mouth Bass and Oscars.

  Planned on fishing Osborne and Ida for Peacocks with another guide and as it turned out, we wound up getting Wayne Fellows on the first day. It was my... read more brother and me along with our 79 year old father. For us, Wayne was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, personable, flexible, excellent boat for our needs, a good sense of humor and, most importantly, he put us on fish! He has a good feel for what different people on the boat need or want. We wound up requesting him for our second day on Osborne and that was equally successful. At that point, we decided to fish a third day with Wayne and to go with his recommendation to go to the Everglades for a different look (less size than Ida/Osborne but more fish). It wound up being exactly what he had described and was another fantastic day. Highly recommend him....great trip.

  I have fished with Capt Bill Goudy Jr now a number of times. He is an experienced guide at the newer Headwaters Lake in Fellsmere. He prefers live... read more shiners and will put his clients on more than enough bass every trip. Also he is one of the more affordable guides with an admirable sense of humor always working hard to produce fish. Thanx Bill!

  I booked three days of Peacock Bass fishing with Captain Tim Nichols out of Fort Lauderdale, FL in Nov., 2021. There were two of us, my adult (not teen) daughter... read more and myself. Despite a passing cold-front, we had a great time. We boated 54 fish, mostly all Peacocks and some of them were over five pounds. We also saw lots of alligators one day which was cool.

Capt. Tim is very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Unlike some guides I've had, Capt. Tim did not fish. He spent his time keeping the boat in position, netting our fish, and quickly rebating our hooks. He never complained when an errant cast caught a tree. He just motored over and got us unhooked and ready to go again.

The furnished rods and reels worked flawlessly. So did his motors and other equipment. His boat is fast and there is a cooler with ice onboard. He knows the waters and even tells you which areas to focus on. One more thing, he enjoys what he does. I felt like a friend, not a customer. I have no complaints and would use Capt. Tim again, without hesitation. It is my pleasure to give him the highest review - five stars.

  Exactly what you’d want in a fishing guide: well educated in the environment, polite, respectful, entertaining, fast, capable, prepared, clean and punctual! We plan to book with Captain Levi again... read more soon!!
