Go for the views and experience and you won’t be disappointed, if it’s only to catch fish then go to the ocean

Check with your captain on the best time to fish based on what you want to catch. We had booked the morning, but then moved to the afternoon because the fishing was expected to be better.

We took our own suspender life vests, long sleeve SPF fishing shirts AND pants, plus hoodies and sunscreen. You will do fine with shorts and a wide brim hat.

Nice calm water, occassional rain sprinkles, humid but managable with proper clothing. Consider bringing a small umbrella for sun protection and hat.

Yes, and I would also recommend Mr. Rene. We caught plenty of Peacock Bass and a few other exotic fish. Tiger fish, Oscar etc. Mr. Rene was an excellent fish guide and he made the whole trip worth it. He was patient and professional.

It was our first time here. Be prepared for any weather - wind, rain, intense heat and sun. We were actually lucky it was cloudy because we would have had trouble with a sunnier day.

We caught lots of peacock bass which was our main target. Just missed a giant tarpon too. Captain Rene was a great guide and really knew where to find the fish and how to catch them.

Great day fishing with Rene! We were hoping to catch a peacock bass, by the end of the day we had called several of them, as well as a huge Snook and a Tarpon! Rene is the best!!

We had to reschedule with Rene due to personal issues ad Rene agreed to take us out later in the day. We arrived late and he patiently waited for us and then to us out as scheduled. Once on the water he gave us the lay of the lad and took us to feed the monkeys. Shortly after, he put us on some peacock bass and our trip concluded. This guide was professional and very knowledgeable. We only fished with him for three hours, but we had a blast and would definitely go again if in the region.

We started an afternoon fishing by trolling next to the bridge - the first fish (Peacock Bass) was caught after 10 min 😊. The rest of the day was very exiting fishing with different lures. It was fun to see with your own eyes how the fish bites the lure in front of you, close to the boat.
