    Captain Richard put us on Peacocks!

    4 Hour Trip - 2:30 PM on August 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Richard was absolutely fantastic. Took my son on a trip to get Peacock Bass (that he had always wanted to catch) and when we went out on a Sunday the water temps were very warm and the Captain managed our expectations but was confident that we would get fish. I knew it would be challenging b/c I didnt see almost any other fishing boats on the lake on a Sunday. After a short time we were on the fish and caught multiple Peacocks including a couple of nice ones thanks to the Captian. He has a great boat and gear. I would love to go out wirh him again (during the spawn would be great) and am sure he would put us on them again.

    Success under challenging conditions!

    6 Hour Trip on February 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Bob made our dreams come true! Despite the recent cold snap in Miami making fishing perilous for Peacock, we were able to catch our first Peacock Bass! And a few of them were very nice fish!! Captain Bob Miley had plenty of fresh shiners for my brother and I to use to catch these beautiful fish. Captain Bob has a deep knowledge of fishing and the Miami canal system which allowed him to put us on active fish. The recent cold snap literally killed the Peacock bass: we saw several dead ones floating in the water today. We were very fortunate to have Captain Bob guide us to victory! If we come back to Miami to fish again, we will certainly seek Captain Bob to guide us again 😃.

    Best Trip Ever!!

    4 Hour Trip on March 28, 2026 • 1 adult

    Had an outstanding time with Capt. Richard Hernandez today. Got on to some fish pretty much throughout the day. Captain Richard was very professional, outgoing, showed where to cast and get hooked up!! I would recommend this trip to any one, all levels of fishing experience. Only one regret, should have booked more time. Peacocks and some Jaguar Cichlids. Big shout out to Captain Richard Hernandez. Thanks for making it a great day.

    Fishing with Richard

    4 Hour Trip - 2:30 PM on March 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    I booked this trip for me and my brother, hoping to catch some Peacock Bass. Captain Jonathan not only helped us get 3 Peacocks, he also helped us get several Oscars, Cichlids, Largemouth Bass, Catfish, a Gar and a Bluegill. Captain Jonathan cared about getting me and my brother a Peacock Bass, and he made sure the whole trip was centered around that. He was a cool guy to be around and also someone that you can have a good conversation with.

    6 Hour Trip on September 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    We fished hard but the fish didn’t want to be caught. The captain was a great guy and you sense his frustration. Had a few hits on topwater but they just would no hook up. I would definitly fish with Rick again.

Top Captai, Top Equipment. Decent action
4 Hour Trip on August 5, 2026 • 2 adults

Spent 4 hours today in the lagoon with Captain Richard he was an excellent guide. Very good communication prior, ensured the day went smoothly. Boat is really well equipped, fish radar, motors that act like a virtual anchor etc. ive not started on the rods and reels but lets say they are top quality. Three Peacocks were the headlines with around ten fish total . Captain Richard explained conditions werent too favourable, but it didnt spoil the experience too much and the weather isnt anything he can control.

A Must do Family Adventure with Captain Richard!
4 Hour Trip - 11:15 AM on March 24, 2026 • 1 adult • 2 children

If you are on the fence about booking a trip to hunt for peacock bass, stop overthinking and just do it. You won’t regret a single second. Our day on the water with Captain Richard was, quite simply, superb. While the fishing itself was great, what truly set this experience apart was how family-oriented the entire trip felt. Richard is incredible with kids he knew exactly how to get the best out of them, keeping them engaged, excited, and learning throughout the day. Richard made sure the younger ones were the stars of the show. He has a natural way of teaching that builds confidence. The boat was filled with laughs and smiles from start to finish. It wasn't just a fishing trip; it was a memory making session. Richard’s expertise is obvious, but his personality is what really makes the day shine. I cannot recommend this trip enough. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or it’s your first time holding a rod, Captain Richard will make sure you have an unforgettable time.
