Bass Whisper Guide – Fort Lauderdale
Bass Whisper Guide – Fort Lauderdale
Discover the hidden wonders of the Florida Everglades with Bass Whisper Guide, and get ready for an incredible journey! Your guide for the day, JP Mckay, is a tournament-winning angler with over 30 years of experience as a guide, fishing throughout southern Florida. His clients describe him as a great host who enjoys having people aboard.
JP is extremely knowledgeable about spawning and feeding patterns, as well as which seasons produce the best types of fish. After fishing for so long, understanding these waters has become second nature to him. There's nothing that makes JP happier than transferring that passion to new anglers and having them hook their first big Bass.
You'll depart from Everglades Holiday Park, aboard a 21' Ranger Bass boat. Her shallow draft makes her perfect for planing skinny waters, giving you an ideal Bass fishing experience. She's equipped with a fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, top-quality Shimano gear, a live well, lures, and baitcasters. Each trip accommodates 2 guests and both can fish at the same time without tangling lines.
Your main targets for the day are Peacock Bass and Largemouth Bass. Both are extremely popular due to their good game qualities, and are fun to catch for anglers of all ages and levels of experience. Make sure you bring a camera along because Peacock Bass is perhaps one of the most beautiful and interesting-looking freshwater fish out there!
You'll also be able to target various Panfish, such as Bluegill Crappie. These fish are lots of fun for kids to catch due to their size. It's the perfect opportunity for young ones to build their confidence!
If you enjoy live baiting, you can buy fresh shiners before the trip. Native shiners cost $10 a dozen, and wild golden shiners go for about $20 a dozen. Just be sure to purchase a fishing license online, pack some snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and light clothing, and get ready to fish the Everglades with Bass Whisper Guide!

I definately didn’t believe we’d catch as many fish as our guide said we would but dang we caught a lot of fish! Everything from largemouth, peacock, dogfish and more! Our guide was very friendly from the beginning of the trip to the end. Taught us all about the different fish and the area we were fishing, even saw a few gators! His boat was very nice and comfortable and suitable for all ages! Only thing I regret is not booking a longer trip!
Thank you very much God bless you and your family Basswhisper Guide Service Postive Attitude Positive Latitude 🙌 👍 ✨️ 💪 🏆 🎣
Caught a few big largemouth, and one big peacock bass which I’ve never caught before. JP helped get me the peacock all the way up to the very last second of the trip before heading back to my car. Thank you!

My fiancé and I every minute with Captain JP McKay. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and takes his charters very seriously. His goal is for you to catch the most fish as you can and very attentive to everyone on board. He helped my fiancé catch her first ever largemouth. Overall amazing guide and we enjoyed our trip.

We had a great morning trip with JP. Didn’t expect to catch several species of fish. JP was super kind and patient with my son who didn’t have much experience. Very enjoyable morning with a true professional!
