						Great fishing trip! We are from Georgia and love to fish. My daughter wanted to catch peacock bass. Tim was very friendly and professional. We had a great time and caught plenty of fish. We will definitely be back!

						Caught a fish on every cast? Captain Tim was a wealth of knowledge, took us directly where he knew we’d kill it. It was a little cool so all the alligators were basking in the sun. A most memorable day.

						Bass Crzazy Captain Tim knew his stuff. We caught over 50 bass on our trip between the two of us. His boat was awesome - plenty of room. If you want to catch some fish, call Captain Tim.

						Great Time! Captain Tim was great.  He knows a lot about fishing in the Everglades.  My son and I were able to catch many fish.  It seemed we couldn’t keep the fish off our lines.  Just an fyi for anyone who is not seasoned in understanding.  It is possible you may have to supply your own bait.  For a half day guide we did spend right at $100 for our bait.  It worked out perfectly to where the bait literally ran out as we finished our time on the water.  Nice fella.  We look forward to using their services in the future and would recommend him to others.

						Disappointed I booked a 4 hour trip with Tim. After 3 hours we ran out of bait!! Our trip was over. It is unexceptionable to run out of bait. Very unhappy

						Excellent service oriented guide I booked three days of Peacock Bass fishing with Captain Tim Nichols out of Fort Lauderdale, FL in Nov., 2021. There were two of us, my adult (not teen) daughter and myself. Despite a passing cold-front, we had a great time. We boated 54 fish, mostly all Peacocks and some of them were over five pounds. We also saw lots of alligators one day which was cool. 



Capt. Tim is very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Unlike some guides I've had, Capt. Tim did not fish. He spent his time keeping the boat in position, netting our fish, and quickly rebating our hooks. He never complained when an errant cast caught a tree. He just motored over and got us unhooked and ready to go again.



The furnished rods and reels worked flawlessly. So did his motors and other equipment. His boat is fast and there is a cooler with ice onboard. He knows the waters and even tells you which areas to focus on. One more thing, he enjoys what he does. I felt like a friend, not a customer. I have no complaints and would use Capt. Tim again, without hesitation. It is my pleasure to give him the highest review - five stars.

						Money spot My friend and I were in town and booked a charter; we have not fished Florida so were not sure what to expect. Tim was fantastic, very laid back, knowledgeable, and took us right to the money spots. We caught 17 peacock bass in 3 hrs. Unreal. If you have the chance, ask for Tim. He has a great manner and is an awesome guide.

						What an amazing day What an amazing day we had in the Everglades with Captain Tim! We caught our first peacock bass within ten minutes of boarding the Boat. The action was non stop as we caught fish the entire trip. We caught the attention of a 5' alligator that followed us for close to an hour waiting for a hand out. Captain Tim instructed us to not feed it and assured us we were safe. It was almost as exciting as the fishing. We caught many bass over 3 lb's, several weighed 4 pounds and 1 was over 5 lb's. I have no idea how many fish we caught but 100 would not be a lie. Captain Tim made everything comfortable and guided an absolutely PERFECT fishing trip!

						Great fishing excursion! I cannot say enough about what a wonderful day of fishing I had for Peacock bass in Miami. Capt. Tim had us on fish the instant we started. 1st cast, 1st fish and it was a nice one. Caught 3 Peacock bass in the first 5 minutes of the outing! Captain is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable guide. He is very patient and very easy going guy. He knows his stuff, reads the water and put you on fish. I caught 3 or 4 different species and about 20 peacock bass on our trip, it was incredible! The action was steady the entire outing. I saw fish that I can't even explain, and you never knew what you were going to pull up next. It was one of the most exciting fishing days I have ever had. I will be back for certain to go Florida Peacock Bass fish again. As you can tell, I highly recommend a day of fishing with this company, you'll love it!
