This ain't your average fishing trip, folks. We're talking about a full 8 hours of prime fishing time in the heart of the Everglades. You'll be cruising through a maze of mangroves, lily pads, and hidden channels that most tourists never get to see. The boat's equipped with top-notch gear, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a lucky fishing hat. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so get ready for some insider tips on where the big ones are hiding. And with a max of 3 guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room to reel in those lunkers.
Listen up, anglers – we're not just tossing lines in the water and hoping for the best. This trip is all about using tried-and-true techniques to maximize your chances of hooking into something special. We'll be mixing it up with some topwater action, flipping into heavy cover, and maybe even doing some sight fishing if conditions are right. Your guide will show you how to work a plastic worm like a pro and when to switch to that noisy topwater lure that drives the bass crazy. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll have you casting like a champ in no time.
Now, let's talk about what's been biting lately. The largemouth bass in these parts have been putting on a show, with some real hawgs coming to the boat. We're talking about fish in the 5-8 pound range, with a few lucky anglers even breaking into double digits. The peacock bass action has been hot too, with these colorful fighters giving everyone a run for their money. Just last week, one of our guests landed a 6-pounder that fought like it was twice that size. Remember, it's not just about the size – these fish will test your skills and make for some great stories back at the dock.
Largemouth Bass: These green machines are the kings of freshwater fishing for a reason. In the Everglades, they grow big and mean, often lurking in thick cover waiting to ambush their prey. Spring and fall are prime times for trophy largemouth, but honestly, these fish bite year-round in Florida. When a big one hits, hold on tight – they're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps that'll have your heart racing.
Peacock Bass: Don't let the name fool you – these aren't your typical bass. Peacock bass are actually cichlids, native to South America but thriving in South Florida's warm waters. They're absolute powerhouses, pound for pound some of the hardest fighting fish you'll ever tangle with. Their vibrant colors are a sight to behold, with electric blue and orange patterns that'll light up your camera roll. Late spring through early fall is peak season for peacocks, and they love to smash topwater lures with a vengeance.
Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I still get a kick out of seeing folks' faces when they hook into their first big Everglades bass. There's something special about fishing here – maybe it's the wild beauty of the place, or the chance to tangle with some real bruisers. Whatever it is, once you've experienced it, you'll be itching to come back. And with our all-inclusive setup, you don't have to worry about a thing. We've got the rods, reels, and all the secret baits that the fish can't resist. Just bring your sense of adventure, and we'll take care of the rest.

Largemouth bass are the rockstars of freshwater fishing here in the Everglades. These green-backed brutes typically run 2-5 pounds, but can top 10+ pounds in our waters. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed edges, and dock pilings - anywhere they can ambush prey. Spring and fall are prime seasons when the bass are most active. Anglers love targeting largemouth for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Nothing beats the thrill of a big bass exploding on a topwater lure at dawn. To up your odds, try working a plastic worm slowly along bottom structure. Let it sit motionless, then give it a subtle twitch - that often triggers a bite. Largemouth aren't too picky, so experiment with different lures and retrieves until you find what's working that day. Just be ready to hold on tight when one slams your bait!
Peacock bass are the tropical rockstars of South Florida's canals and lakes. These colorful bruisers typically run 2-4 pounds, but can reach 10+ pounds. Look for them in warm, slow-moving waters near structure like bridges, fallen trees, and canal intersections. They're most active during daylight hours, hunting smaller fish. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round in our climate. Anglers love peacocks for their aggressive strikes and bulldog fighting style - they'll test your gear and skills. To target them, try casting shiny spoons or noisy topwater lures around shaded areas. Live shiners are peacock candy if you want a sure thing. Here's a local trick: when you spot a peacock, make a long cast past it and retrieve your lure right by its face. Their predatory instincts often kick in, triggering an explosive strike. Just be ready for a battle when they hit!
