Spend 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.

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.
