Jose Carbonell

Member since July 2019 Southwest Ranches, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
My perferred style of fishing is top water baits. There’s nothing more exciting than see your lure getting crushed! Other favories of mine is swim baits, jigs, flipping and using big worms on the ledges.
