Ryan CastelloRepeat angler5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Peacock Bass Trip with Captain Charles!
2 hour Peacock Bass Trip on June 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing freshwater fishing trip with Salty Fishing Charter out of Miami, targeting peacock bass, and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Charles was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, laid-back, and clearly passionate about putting people on fish. From the minute we got on the boat, he made us feel at home. He knew exactly where to go and how to work the waters to get results. Within minutes, we were hooking into beautiful, hard-fighting peacock bass, and the action just kept going all day. These fish are aggressive, colorful, and so much fun to catch—it was a total blast. The gear was in great shape, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Captain Charles shared a lot of helpful tips and made sure everyone was having a great time, no matter their skill level.
Adi KulkarniRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip for catching fish and seeing wildlife!
Half Day – Peacock Bass Everglades on February 18, 2025 • 2 adultsWe went on the 4hr Everglades Peacock bass trip with Capt Charles. He was super responsive to messages and very easy to work with. He worked hard to make sure we had live bait for the trip, and put us onto big fish right away. It’s clear he knows the water well and took us to several spots where we got many bites. We caught some monster peacock bass, largemouth, and gar. He pointed out wildlife including gators, birds and manatees. The boat was comfortable, he played great music and overall we had a great time. Would highly recommend a trip with him if you get the chance.
Sri Gudi5.0VerifiedGreat experience ..!!
2 hour Peacock Bass Trip on December 26, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a quick fishing trip on our final day of the Miami vacation. We were a group of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Kids). Captain Charles took us to a fresh water body for Peacock bass fishing. He was very punctual, helpful and communication was very good. He took us to 3 different spots based on the biting and we were able to catch (all 4 of us) plenty of them. I would strongly recommend Captain Charles and would love to work with him in future if we come back to FL for fishing …. Thank you Captain Charles.

Half Day Trip – Peacock Bass Miami on July 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy family had a great time on the four hour fishing trip. Charles recommended a great location that resulted in my family catching multiple fish. My son was specifically looking to catch Peacock Bass and he was able to catch atleast 10 in addition to some other types of fish. We did catch and release due to being from out of town & had a successful trip.

Half Day Trip – Peacock Bass Miami on September 24, 2024 • 2 adultsWe had a great time with Captain Charles fishing for peacock bass in the canals of Miami. We got into some nice fish and this guided trip was the highlight of our week in Florida. Captain Charles made some videos and took pictures of our fish and was kind enough to send them all to us. Thanks for the memories! Rick and Kim Nelson

Pat Katzer5.0VerifiedHalf-day Peacock trip with Charles
Half Day – Peacock Bass Everglades on August 8, 2023 • 2 adultsA outstanding young man, native of the area very knowledgeable about everything. We were here in August the worst time to get out and fish, but we had a blast caught several different species of fish ended up with 14 peacock bass. Had my girlfriend with me and she is a beginner in the bass fishing world and he put her on a bunch of fish so happen to be even the biggest ones out of the day. Would highly recommend him for anyone. Great trip!
