Great Day! First time fishing Peas. Bobby was awesome. Made everything seamless and had great conversation. His knowledge of the lake, fishing spots and fish habits had us getting bites in the first 5 minutes. His boat is sick! Had so much room to move around and cast. He took care of everything. Caught a bunch of Peas and a Cihchid. Great all around experience and Bobby is a solid dude. So many charters out there. Glad I picked this one.

Lake Ida Fishing Charters Charter captain Bobby Kimble is the real deal. He’s an amazing guide with an extended knowledge of South Florida fisheries. He will put you on the fish to create memories that will last a lifetime. My dad and I caught our personal best peacock bass with him right before the polar vortex when the bite was tough. We would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to catch quality and quantity of fish.

This was one of my best days on the water. As soon as i started doing exactly like Captain Bobby had been telling me, FISH ON BABY! Captain Bobby was right on time and just as eager as we’re to be out there and on the fish, not to mention he was just as excited when we started catching them. He loves is job and it shows. I would highly recommend him to anyone who reads this and all of my friends and family.

Had an awesome last minute trip with Captain Bobby on Lake Ida. Went mid day and brought in 15-20 fish, which is crazy considering the time we went, and it being not quite season. Peacock, Largemouth and Mayan Cichlids. Great captain who will put you on fish fast, and is a great guy to talk to. His boat was awesome as well, we got out to our spots in a few minutes. Would highly recommend.

A Great Day of Fishing We had a great day with Captain Kimble, He is very easy going and fun. He helped us with everything, even casting my wife's pole to get her bait under the docks. We caught a lot of fish and some really good size ones at that. He is a pro! I heartily recommend him to anybody who wants to catch a peacock bass. He will get you there and you will catch fish. My wife always wanted to catch a peacock bass, even had it on her bucket list. Captain Kimble helped make that dream happen. We both walked away happy. As a side note he let us bring our chihuahua with us, even our dog had fun, a great time and well worth every penny. I could write a whole page about how great Captain Kimble is.

Peacock Bass And Lots More Booked an 8 hour trip with Bobby Kimble on Lake Ida. We were fishing shortly after a cold front and Bobby warned us the fishing might be slow, but we decided to try it, and very glad we did. Ended the day with 32 fish, including 20 peacock bass and 7 other species. We had a blast. Bobby is not only very knowledgeable about fishing, but a ton of fun to spend a day with. I'd highly recommend Bobby to anyone who loves fishing and wants to enjoy a great day on the water.

Great fishing with Bobby Kimble Our guide, Bobby Kimble, was a Great guide. We had never been to Lake Ida, but he showed us a magnificent day of fishing for 4 hours on a glorious day, perfect blue sky, and many fish caught by Simon, our 10-year-old grandson, Simon caught 11 fish, and Bobby sent us all the pictures. One was almost 4 lbs. Bobby knew just where to go to find the fish. I learned a lot about this kind of lake fishing. Bobby was great and would look forward to another fishing trip with him as our guide. His boat was perfect for 2 anglers, and clean.

Captain Bio
Meet Captain Bobby
Capt Bobby Kimble is a full-time fishing guide in Palm Beach, Florida, and he was born in VA. As a teen, I was introduced to fishing and was hooked.
His love of sports and the outdoors kept him busy. He coached Little League football for 5 years and hockey for 4 years, so he loves working with kids. He also participated in high school gymnastics for 4 years, organized football for 7 years, and played high school and adult inline hockey for 23 years.
The entire time, always finding time to go fishing. Living in VA, the cold weather limited my fishing to 6 months per year. So we moved the family south, where we opted for the year-round fun in the sun of Florida. Over the years, always taking my friends and family out, I set myself on the path of becoming a fishing guide.
Bobby says I get a great sense of satisfaction in sharing my knowledge and experiences with others while on the water!
Living and fishing in the local area allows him the ability to have a superior experience on a select choice of lakes.
