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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
