Amazing Peacock Bass Trip with Zach!

2 Hr Trip – Guaranteed Peacock Bass - 1:00 PM2 adults

My son Vinnie and I had an unforgettable trip with Fishing with Jake. My second trip with them! Our guide, Zach, was outstanding—full of energy, super knowledgeable, kind, patient, and took us to several great spots. We caught an incredible number of peacock bass, including some monsters! At one point, the fish were practically jumping out of the water. It was nonstop action and so much fun. Highly recommend—Zach made the day awesome!

    Caught a Lot, Learned a Lot

    4 Hr Trip – Guaranteed Peacock Bass • 2 adults

    My 13 year old son and I had a tremendous bank fishing adventure with Jake. i auppose the headlibe is that we caught 20+ fish between us, mostly peacock bass. My son landed a beutiful 3.5 pounder. I caught the “Fishing with Jake” grand slam of Peacock, Large Mouth, Snakehead, Cichlid. From a pure catchijg rate, it was a highly productive 4 hour adventure. It was great. But, for me, the true highlight of the day was how much my son learned. He has gotten interested in fishing throigh his friends. But he lacked experience and wanted to improve his basic fishing fundamentals: casting, hook setting, etc. Jake is a great teacher. Patient. Encouraging. Effective. And my son emerged from the excursion with not only some nice photos but with skills he can take with him for his own bank fishing adventures in the future.

    Nice Afternoon of Fishing

    4 Hr Trip – Guaranteed Peacock Bass • 4 adults

    Very nice afternoon trip for the four of us. Owner picked us up at the bait shop in his truck. You purchase your own shiners for bait, guide provides a cooler with aeration for the minnows. Tackle was hooks, and spinning rods provided for you by the guide. Drove us to several spots and shore fished, free-lining shiners. Caught 30+ in 4 hour trip, I’d guess. Mix of Peacock Bass, Largemouth, and a few Mayan Cichlids. Guide was helpful and patient with those not as experienced. Would recommend for most people. Easy, low-stress outing to get outside on vacation, and catch some fish.

    Fishing and Iguana hunt

    2hr Peacock Bass & 2hr Iguana Hunt • 3 adults

    Crew were straight forward and responded quickly. They meet you at the bait shop where you buy your minnows. they recommend us get 5 dozen which seems like a lot but we used them. Fishing takes place in neighborhood ponds between houses and subdivisions. We averaged about 5 fish per person per pond. Everywhere we went we caught fish. Mostly Peacock, (which averaged 1-2 pounds with the largest pushing 4lbs) but a few of everything from snake heads to gar. The iguana hunts were fantastic! I cant tell you how many we took each day, we lost count but it had to be 20-30 each.

    Thank you so much for the review Jason, I really appreciate it! I had a great time taking your crew fishing and hunting. Hope to see you again. Keep those lines tight 🎣

    You will catch Peacock Bass!

    4 Hr Trip – Guaranteed Peacock Bass • 2 adults

    My wife and I fished with Ron today! Our goal was to catch Peacock Bass. Catch them we did! Ron was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell he takes a lot of professional pride in giving his customers a lasting fishing memory. My wife and I caught multiple Peacock Bass along with Florida Bass and even had a blow up from a snake head. I would highly recommend that you give these guys a call if you want to have a great day fishing while in South Florida. Thank you

    A second time and a great experience again

    2 Hr Trip – Guaranteed Peacock Bass • 3 adults • 2 children

    About a year ago we went fishing with Zach and we had a wonderful time catching fish. So much so, we came back. This time we went with Ron and, he too, had a lot to show us on the trip. I recommend the crew for adults and kids. We start of by meeting at the bait shop, buying some shiners and then promptly heading to the fishing holes for some great action. We will be looking forward to out next trip with “Fishing with Jake.”
