Member since September 2018 Delray Beach, United States

Background: The first half of my life was spent growing up in Long Island, New York, fishing as far back as I can remember. For the last 15 years, I've been fishing all over Florida from inshore to offshore, from lakes to canals. My main focus lately has been freshwater live bait fishing for Clown Knife Fish, Peacock, and Largemouth Bass on Lake Ida and the surrounding areas. I always had a strong passion for fishing that I love to share with others. A trip with me will not only be a memorable experience – it will be something you brag about, as I will do my absolute best to ensure you get the fish of a lifetime!
Techniques: I specialize in live bait fishing with light tackle for a clown knife, peacock, and largemouth bass

Unforgettable Day on Lake Ida with Operationtek Fishing Charters!

VERIFIED NEW

From start to finish, our experience with Operationtek Fishing Charters was nothing short of exceptional. Captain Brian is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about what he does—and it shows. He knew exactly where to go on Lake Ida to find the fish, and within minutes we were reeling in peacock bass, largemouth, and even clown knife fish! The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear, making it easy for both beginners and experienced... More

I waited 10-years for the opportunity to catch a Peacock Bass and Captain Kmiotek made it happen for my friend Mike and me. Did he ever make it happen. We caught Peacocks all day, some large-mouth bass, and at the end, at Captain Kmiotek’s suggestion, a Ghost Knife Fish. Great boat, Great trip, but most important, a Great Captain. Thank you, Captain, for helping me make this dream come true. We’ll remember you and this day, always. Greg

Captain Brian showed us such a beautiful morning of fishing. He took us to all the best spots and kept us reeling in the fish. We had en experiences fisher and a newbie on the trip and Brian was able to keep them both going. It was also fascinating to be on the canals and feel hidden right in plain sight of the neighborhoods. We caught peacock bass, Mayan cichlid, large mouth, and a striped hybrid bass.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. I had a great time fishing with everyone. Seeing the boys excitement when you caught the clown knife fish at the end of the trip still gives me a smile! Truly makes what I do worth it! I will remember it as much as they will. Thanks again!
