Florida Man Guide Service welcomes you on a saltwater or freshwater fishing adventure out of Hollywood. Your captain is a South Florida primarily land-based and kayak-based guide with over 20 years of experience catching what the region has to offer. He’ll make sure you have an exciting and fun experience and the best chance to catch fish. Join him aboard and make some beautiful memories fishing in Florida!

You can fish rivers, lakes, inshore waters, or nearshore waters. The wide range of species you can chase includes Largemouth and Peacock Bass, Snakehead, Clown Knife Fish, Cubera and Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, and Snook. To reel them in, you can use light and heavy tackle, spinning, and fly fishing.

The captain will supply you with fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, and drinks. He even offers free fish cleaning service when the trip is over. You should bring some food and valid fishing licenses. Keep in mind that fly fishing gear is not included in the price and that you should bring your own if you want to fly fish.

The captain grew up in and around the water and as soon as he could hold a fishing pole, he was hooked. He caught his first Peacock Bass when he was still hip height! The captain has over 20 years of experience fishing in South Florida waters for everything you can think of. He's been taking people fishing since about 2013 but has only been doing it for a living as of recently, as that’s been a dream of his for as long as he can remember.
