As if catching a ton of fish was not enough, Capt John was amazing. I have done a ton of charters and there is always the chance of catching or not catching, but one thing remains constant regardless. You couldn’t ask for a better host/ captain to spend the day with. That is what I enjoy and is important to me. And Capt John is right up there with the top Captains I have ever went out with. Oh, btw we caught over 25 peacocks and also some largemouth and crappie. Thanks John. Keep up the good... Meer

John was a phenomenal guide. It’s obvious he grew up fishing Lake Ida. He knew all the right spots and gave us excellent tips. We caught both species we were looking for — peacock bass and clown knife fish!! Our teen was thrilled! Couldn’t have been a better experience. Don’t hesitate booking a tour with John!

What an awesome day on the water! My 13-year-old son and I have had Peacock bass on our bucket list for a while, and Captain John made sure we checked them off! He’s super laid back and clearly knows his stuff, getting us straight to where the fish were biting. We really appreciated all his helpful advice and pointers that got us catching. If you’re looking to fish in this area, you absolutely need to book with him! We’re already looking forward to our next adventure!

If you are looking for a family friendly trip, a Happy Guide that doesn’t yell at you, and lots of fish ....then this trip is for you! We had the best day on the water today started out strong with a ton of Peacock Bass,then finished strong with great sized Clown Knife fish ! We caught each fish on our bucket list capt John set out to find all the bucket list fish and we did it! It was a blast and we will definitely go back again next time we visit FL! Thanx Capt John see you next time!

we did the 4hr charter (7:15am-11:15am). we were looking to catch clownknife fish and John was able to get us on them even though we were coming into 68 degrees in the morning (considered cold for exotics). A very fun trip and one I would highly recommend.
