Great day in the Everglades!!
5 Hour (AM) Exotic Species on March 5, 20261 adult

Went out bass fishing with Andrew and i had explained to him beforehand that i was a new bass fisherman from New York with a personal best of maybe 1.5lbs haha. He explained to me that after today that would change, and let me tell you, it did. We hooked up bass left and right all day and i dont believe we caught anything under 3lbs. My new personal best is 5lbs!!! Alot of action all day!! Definetely had a great time. Andrew knew the waters well and how to fish them, Highly reccomend fishing with him!!

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass

6 Hour Trip on November 14, 20252 adults

we decided last second to add a peacock charter to our vacation. I messaged the captain the night before and very quickly heard back. we met him the next morning at 7:30 am. The weather was NOT in our favor. Strong winds and cold temps. He took us to multiple spots and we caught exactly what we wanted plus more. The fishing on this trip was amazing. Will be back sooner rather than later The captain is the most friendly and patient captain i have ever went with. He is the true King of the glades!

Embark on the heartfelt journey of Andrew Ernst, a passionate freshwater fishing guide and tournament angler whose connection to the water runs through generations. Andrew's fishing odyssey began at the age of 5, growing up in a bass fishing household where every cast held the promise of adventure. One defining moment etched in Andrew's memory is meeting the iconic American Chopper duo, Paul Senior and Junior, alongside his dad. As a 12-year-old, Andrew had the pleasure of showcasing not just one, but three fish over 7 pounds to these legendary figures. The astonishment and admiration in their eyes were palpable. It was in that moment that Andrew knew: fishing wasn't just a hobby; it was a calling. The very essence of Andrew's guiding business, the 'King of the Glades Experience,' holds sentimental significance. This legacy continues as his dad runs the 'King of the Glades Tournament Trail' for 17 years. Now, Andrew carries this revered name into the guiding business, a nod to the passion and tradition that has shaped his fishing story. From the age of 5 to the present day, Andrew stands as a custodian of fishing wisdom, sharing his skills and love for the sport with enthusiasts of all ages.
