Half Day Trip (AM) on March 31, 2024 • 3 adultsCaptain Sam is the best part of the experience. He knows his stuff and made sure we caught fish and that we understood the habitat. Capt Sam even stopped to free a bird that was tangled in fishing line. Being on the water and catching fish was a great experience.
Chris Alexnader5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Full Day Trip on April 13, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Sam is very knowledgeable, puts you on the fish. We caught plenty of large mouth, Mayan cichlids and lots of Peacock bass Enjoyed our trip. Would strongly recommend
Steve Friedman5.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2021 • 2 adultsMy son scheduled a trip at a local lake. Sam called the night before and switched venues because fishing wasn’t good at the lake. We met and went to the Everglades which in itself was an adventure. Beautiful seeing all the wildlife on the boat ride to the fishing spots. Sam was awesome, he is one of life’s true characters and wants people to catch fish and have a great time. He made the day amazing, my son and I connected with him and felt very comfortable. We caught lots of Peacocks and had an amazing experience. Will repeat often and highly recommend.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 2023 • 2 adultsThis was our second trip with Sam we absolutely love him and will definitely see him next year
Michael FuehrerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day Morning Trip
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 15, 2021 • 3 adultsI would highly recommend Captain Sam if you are looking for a peacock bass fishing charter. He was very flexible with rescheduling our trip when our original trip was shut down by the weather. Once we got out on the water it did not take long for us to get on the peacocks and we stayed on them for the entire trip. Everybody on board caught plenty of fish (a total of 33).
