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!!
great experience, highly recomemded!

My family and I have a wonderful time fishing with Andrew. He is an excellent guide with great local knowledge and a great guy to spending the day on the water with. I would highly recommend.

The captain is superb ! He is an easy going and really experienced. During 4 hour trip we managed to catch 6 different kinds of fish !
This was an AWESOME trip. We caught fish to include a (first time) clown knife fish. Definitely planning to go again.
Don’t look any further !THIS IS THE ONE TO CHOOSE ! I came to Florida for work and had the ability to get a charter last minute. Easy to book , contacted me immediately and answered every question I had. Extremely easy to work with , talk with and an experience I will never forget! His boat is comfortable, fast and easy to fish off of regardless of experience and plenty of room for multiple to fish off of. The scenery in itself he took me on amplified my fishing adventure. His fishing gear is top notch equipment , he has the ability to explain the art and science of what fish you are looking for and how to catch them clearly and was easy to understand. His company while it was only me and him on the boat , he was very easy to talk to, professional , and I didn't know that 4 hours went by. He WILL GET YOU ON FISH! If you have children, his boat is perfect to get them on fish and he loves seeing his customers catch the fish they are after. I asked to get peacock bass and knife clown fish, he excelled at that , quickly getting to the next spot if it slowed down for a minute. He will bait your hook , net it , and you do not have to do anything other than reel the fish in if you want !! He will make your money and time worth your while. Anything you need or are looking for in a charter he will make happen. Friendly, clean , kid friendly, effective at locating fish , patient instructions, highly recommend, would go again. Thank you Andrew.
Captain was a great fisherman and guy. We were on fish 2 minutes after dropping a line and never stopped catching fish for 3 hours! 70-80 bass, stopped counting there were so many. Caught 3 really big bass over 4 pounders! The Captain and his father have been fishing the Everglades their whole lives and know where the fish are. If you are looking to go catching…….. this is your Captain.

Had a blast fishing with Andrew, the guide and a colleague. We messaged Andrew a week prior to the trip to let him know that our primary target was clown knife fish and he went above & beyond to make sure we hook into a few, including checking specific spots a few days earlier to maximize our chances. In the end, we got 4 clown knifes and 4 other species in just 4 hours. Overall a great experience, guide was friendly, professional and easy to talk to and the fishing was phenomenal. Will definitely go again when I'm back in South Florida!
I had an amazing father-son trip on this fishing charter! Our guide was not only an expert but also super friendly, which made the experience even better. We were targeting peacock bass and clown knife fish, and we ended up catching over 10 peacock bass! The guide’s knowledge really showed as he took us to the perfect spots. We’re already looking forward to coming back in the busier season in March for even more action. It was a fantastic day on the water, and we can’t wait to return!”

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!
The trip through the canal was wonderful. even though we did not catch fish, the experience and knowledge from Captain Andrew is invaluable. definitely will be fishing with Captain Andrew again.
Adam is courteous and professional guide who goes above and beyond to put his customers on fish. We look forward to heading out with him again for an Everglades trip in the future.
We had an amazing day with Andrew...he was really patient with us..and is a great teacher...I would definitely recommend and hope to make it back again 🙂
