Broward county has some of the most unique variety fish you can find anywhere else in the world. Captain Manny has years of experience in these waters and canals systems. He continues to bring knowledge and advice to new and experienced angelers.

Captain Manny specializes in catching Largemouth bass and Peacock Bass on the canals and lake systems in Broward county. Occasionally hook onto a tarpon, snook, snake head, and several other species. It’s always a surprise when your fishing with Manny.

Your fishing adventure will take place aboard the Nitro which can fit up to 3 people. This vessel is equipped with a fighting chair in the back of the boat, rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you as well. Live bait is INCLUDED at the expense of the captain so please take this in to consideration when tipping your captain.

Things to consider to bring would be polarized sunglasses, sun protection like sunblock or a UV shirt, hats, snacks and drinks, and any baits or rods customers would like to use even though Captain Manny provides bait and rods.

ATTN: Children 9 years or younger must bring a USCG approve lifevest and must be on at all times while the boat is in motion.

Please feel free to contact Captain Manny directly through the message on the app for any questions or inquiries.

Everglades trip

Highly recommend!

VERIFIED

On our recent trip to Pompano Beach my husband and I couldn't decide if we wanted to do canals or Everglades trip so we did both with Captain Manny and it was absolutely fantastic! He was knowledgeable, personable and a lot of fun to fish with and he expertly guided us to some fantastic fishing spots. Even though the Peacock bass were not biting he was persistent in trying both live and artificial baits and all his favorite hot spots. We were able to pick up a variety of other fish and we had 2 very enjoyable days on the water. I highly recommend him!

Fishing with Manny: Like Spending a Day with an Old Friend in the Everglades!

VERIFIED

My wife, Yasmin, and I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing adventure with Manny in the Florida Everglades. Throughout the day, we caught numerous Peacock Bass, making the trip memorable and enjoyable. Manny was not just a guide but a companion who enhanced our experience in every way. Manny was incredibly attentive; whenever we needed assistance, he was right there. My wife, being new to fishing, encountered several issues with her line, but Manny was always quick to offer help without us even needing to ask. He provided cold drinking water, shared valuable fishing tips, and enriched our day with fascinating historical and local knowledge about the Everglades. Additionally, he was always happy to answer our numerous questions—perhaps a bit too many, considering we're from Canada! What truly set Manny apart was his genuine and sincere desire for us to have the best possible experience. His down-to-earth personality made us feel as if we were spending the day with an old friend rather than a professional guide. Thank you, Manny, for crafting and ensuring such a wonderful day for us! Best regards, Darren & Yasmin

Had an awesome time with Captain Manny. Hooked up on a couple peacocks and largemouth, and more than a few tilapia! Great guy, fun to fish with and hang out, fish weren’t really cooperating but he went the extra mile to put us on them. Saved his info to book him again next time I’m in South Florida!
