10+ reviews

I'm Capt Jose Carbonell, grew up here in South Florida and have been fishing the canals and lakes since I was 8yrs old. Since then I've grown to become a very passionate angler and take great pleasure in becoming a full time guide this year. I enjoy teaching people new techniques and also learn from those that may have a different style of fishing, as the evolution of fishing is constantly changing and growing. I am also a competitive Bass Tournament angler on a semipro level. I specialize in Peacock Bass, Bulls Eye Snake Heads and other exotic species. My boat is a Stratos 201 Pro Elite equipped with the latest Garmin electronics and Panoptics transducer, 80lb thrust Minn Kota Trolling motor with weed cutter, twin red 8'power poles and powered with a 2020 Yamaha 250hp SHO.

Captain José worked his tail off to get fish in the boat and we were successful! Knowledgeable Captain and guide who willput you on fish even if conditions are sub-par.

Peacocks!
8 Hour Trip (AM) on November 18, 2025 • 3 adults
Captain Jose is the best! Knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Peacock bass was out target species. He put us on them, and kept us on them. He explained techniques to use, and we caught many! Truly was a great day on the water, did not disappoint! Highly recommend, will definitely book with him again!
