"King of The Glades" – Everglades
+70Spend the day with "King of The Glades" and see what’s biting in the Everglades!
Depending on the season, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Alligator Gar, Peacock Bass, Clown Knife Fish, and anything else that bites. You’ll target your catch with light tackle, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You can keep some of the fish you catch within the legal limit.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your vessel for the day is a 17’ Nitro bass boat with room for 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Andrew has rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you.

Fishing with Andrew was an amazing experience! He worked so well with both of us — my husband, who is very experienced, and me, a complete beginner. Andrew was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, teaching me everything I needed to know while also working my husband to enhance his techniques in catching more fish. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were catching fish! It's clear that Andrew knows these waters inside and out, and he has the techniques to consistently find fish. We even noticed other boats and anglers around us trying to copy his methods! He had pro tackle, and his professionalism really stood out. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip with him. Highly recommend!

I am a fisherman and when fisherman meet each other we get along and have a great time. Today was all that and more. Born in NC and living in Cali, I've fished all over and now the glades by the Gladesman himself. Andrew definitely knows what he's doing and it helped that I could relate and perform on a similar level that was required for this style of fishing. My girlfriend who doesn't fished Even caught more fish from his advice, cause she never listens to me lol. We even stumbled across Roland Martin, what are the chances. Great times man see you again.

6 Hour Trip on March 29, 2025
Had the best day with my 16yr old son & our guide, Andrew. We caught a ton of bass! We lost count. Andrew is a truly passionate fisherman & loves what he does. He taught my son so much & we were grateful to spend the day with him. I’m ready to book again & would recommend this excursion for any fresh water fisherman.. The Everglades are incredible. Aside from fishing, we also saw alligators, numerous birds & a snapping turtle. Big fun for anyone who loves the outdoors….Thanks again, Andrew!

Me and my 11 year old son went out with Captain Andrew.. it was awesome! Great communication the entire time. We honestly lost count of the Oscars, bass, and peacock bass we caught. We figured it to be around 40 - 50! We used shiners and artificial! Saw gators! It was a great time and Andrew made it better! Can’t wait to go out again! Great with my son! Honestly the perfect day fishing!

8 Hour Trip – Full Day Experience on February 12, 2025
My wife and I had an awesome time fishing with Andrew. He is a fun, easy going, expert and put us on fish all day long. We learned so much from him (technique, lure choice, reading water ways) and are coming out of this as better bass fishers. Caught about 30 2-4 pounders over the day, great time!

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. Join Andrew on a fishing adventure, and let the "King of the Glades Experience" redefine your relationship with the water, one cast at a time.
