What's the Deal?

Here's the scoop: we're talking four solid hours of fishing on some of Southeast Florida's most productive lakes. You and up to three buddies will hop aboard our fully decked-out boat, armed with all the gear you need to land some monsters. We're not just after any old fish – we're talking peacock bass, largemouth bass, and a whole bunch of exotic species that'll make your fishing buddies back home green with envy. No need to pack a lunch; we're laser-focused on getting those lines in the water and fish in the boat.

Casting and Catching

Listen up, because here's where the rubber meets the road – or in our case, where the lure hits the water. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from flipping jigs around structure to working topwater lures across lily pads. Depending on what's biting, we might even break out some live bait to entice those finicky feeders. Our lakes are chock-full of cover – we're talking submerged logs, weed beds, and drop-offs that fish love to hang around. We'll show you how to read the water and present your bait just right to get those bass striking. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll have you casting like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the diversity of fishing these Southeast Florida lakes. One minute you're battling a hard-fighting peacock bass, the next you're reeling in a weird and wonderful clownknife fish. It's like a freshwater fishing buffet out there! Our regulars keep coming back because every trip is different. You never know what exotic species might decide to chomp on your lure next. Plus, with our expert knowledge of these waters, we'll put you on the fish faster than you can say "fish on!"

Fish You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of freshwater game fish, Florida-strain largemouth can grow to trophy sizes in our warm waters. These bucket-mouthed bruisers love to ambush prey from cover, so we'll be targeting structure and using a variety of lures to entice strikes. Spring and fall are prime times for big bass, but they're active year-round here. There's nothing quite like the heart-stopping moment when a big largemouth explodes on your topwater lure!

Peacock Bass: These colorful fighters are not actually bass, but a type of cichlid originally from South America. They've made themselves right at home in Florida's warm waters, and boy, do they put up a fight! Peacocks are aggressive predators that love to chase down fast-moving lures. They're most active in the warmer months and tend to hang out near structure in clear water. When you hook one, hold on tight – these fish are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish you'll ever tangle with.

Clownknife Fish: Now here's a fish that'll make you do a double-take! These oddball predators look like something out of a sci-fi movie, with their long, knife-like bodies and distinctive spots. Originally from Southeast Asia, they've found a niche in Florida's canals and lakes. Clownknife fish are ambush predators that love to hang out in heavy cover. They're not the easiest to catch, but when you do hook one, it's a real trophy – both for the fight and the unique appearance.

Mayan Cichlid: These scrappy little fighters might not be the biggest fish in the lake, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. Mayan cichlids, also known as atomic sunfish, are invasive but have become a popular target for light-tackle anglers. They're aggressive and will readily hit small lures and flies. Look for them around vegetation and structure, especially during their spawning season in the spring and early summer.

Snakehead: If you're after a true freshwater predator, the snakehead fits the bill. These long, torpedo-shaped fish are ambush hunters with a mouthful of sharp teeth. They're not native to Florida, but they've established themselves in many waterways. Snakeheads love heavy cover and can even survive out of water for short periods. They're most active in the warmer months and put up an incredible fight when hooked. Topwater lures can produce some explosive strikes from these aggressive fish.
