Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

  Capt. Wayne Fellows got us on many fish! We originally booked for Lake Ida but Capt. fortunately switched locations due to fishing report. I'm glad he did. ... read more The equipment and gear were great and we caught peacock and other species. My 15yr old and I always enjoy talking with the captain while fishing but Wayne wasn't super engaging.

Ripping through the water in the Everglades on the way to the fishing spots with music blaring was a fun experience I'll never forget.
