Peacock Bass are a blast. They fight hard, they are very aggressive, and they are some of the best fun you can have on a fly rod or light tackle gear. If you're looking to get in on the Peacock action in the Miami area, then you have found the right guide. Captain Michael Verniolle is a knowledgeable and experienced guide that has fished in the Miami area for 20 plus years.

Any fish you catch will be released.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to keep 'em happy!

You'll be dropping lines from a 17' Skiff that can carry up to 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with The Twisted Fly!
