Captain Eric Planer of FloBass Fishing Charters is dedicated to providing the best and most unique freshwater angling experience in South East Florida.
Clown Knife Fish are South Florida's most elusive invasive species to chase. When you do hook into one of these crazy fish, they give you some wild acrobatic jumps and powerful runs! They even swim backwards while you're fighting them! What makes these fish so elusive is the very small area of South Florida they inhabit. You'll need patience when targeting Clown Knife Fish as they are picky eaters, and only bite during certain windows throughout the day.
Typically the Captain targets clowns with live bait and tries to have multiple rods set up with lines in the water to increase the chances of getting a bite. However, they are possible to target on artificials if you're willing to put in the hard work.
Captain Eric will net live Threadfin Shad before the start of the trip, free of charge. Live bait is the best way to target these elusive fish so it will be available at no cost to you.
What sets Captain Eric apart from other guides is his passion for teaching fishing, and the history of the waters he guides out of. Guiding is Captain Eric's way of life. After working behind a desk for 13 years, he relishes every opportunity to hit the water and help anglers land their bucket list fish.
When you're on Captain Eric's boat, you're not just another number. You're part of what gets him excited every day and chase the days adventure.

Your captain
Hey there, I'm Captain Eric Planer! Growing up in sunny South Florida, I had a blast honing my angling skills in the local lakes and ponds. After school, you could find me riding my bike to the nearby pond and reeling in around 30 Largemouth Bass before dinnertime. Good times! I also pursued an automotive technology degree and worked as a skilled technician specializing in diesel vehicles. But as much as I enjoyed my automotive career, I couldn't ignore my true passion for fishing and the great outdoors. So, I took a leap of faith and decided to follow my heart. Now, I'm living my dream as a fishing guide, sharing my love for the water and helping people create unforgettable fishing memories. Join me, and let's embark on an exciting fishing adventure together!
