CAPT KIRK BIO
About Capt Kirk Osborne It all started in 1969 when my father started taking us to the Everglades to go fishing. First, it was a small panfish, but then one of my best memories.
When it’s time to book a trip with Capt Kirk, know he has been running charters for many years and does everything to make sure you have a great time. If you wish to enjoy the wildlife and sounds of nature, a trip with Capt. Kirk will hit all the right buttons. This multi-talented captain has participated in multiple Bass tournaments and enjoys taking the next generation of fishing.
Hop on board his fully Bass Online wrapped 20’ Ranger boat that’s equipped with a 200 HP Mercury 4-stroke engine. With the help of the fishfinder, as well as the captain’s knowledge of the area, you’ll quickly get to where the fish are. Once located, turn on the wireless trolling motor to get on top of them. Before you know it, you’ll be catching fish.
The stars of every trip are peacock bass, snakehead, clown knife fish, and largemouth bass that come to play. Capt. Kirk is confident you’ll catch fish during his trip, he is backed by Bass Online’s industry-leading “no fish, no pay” policy.
Included in the price of the trip are top-quality rods and reels. The captain will provide artificial bait that all the South Florida bass go crazy for. If required, you can purchase live bait before the trip as well and Capt Kirk will discuss that with you beforehand.
Everyone over the age of 16 will need to buy a fishing license before the trip begins. These can be purchased over the phone. Feel free to bring a small cooler of food and drinks along and the captain will provide ice and water.
Have a camera ready – you’re likely to see gators and numerous species of birds. Pack sunscreen, insect repellant, sunglasses, and a hat, and you’re ready to fish!
Book a trip today with Capt Kirk for an unforgettable day in the canals or Everglades. You’re sure to come back time and time again.

Everglades with Captain Kirk
★★★★★
“ I have been on numerous trips with this company and they have all been great. However this past trip on 05/06/24 was the best trip I have ever been on. The biggest reason for this was Captain Kirk Osborne who shared his knowledge of fishing as well as taking the time to get to know me as a person and making me feel welcome. This place to fish was also phenomenal. Captain asked do you want to catch fish right away or do you want to go for a little ride and catch more fish. I opted for the later and after a nice trip through the Everglades we were fishing. On the very first cast which I caught a 3 pound peacock to the very last where a caught a very nice oscar it was fun exciting and enjoyable. We caught somewhere between 70-90 fish and multiple species, was able to see multiple alligators and even got to see a python snake. The captain taught me a new way to fish and after demonstrating and showing me how to do it I was reeling them in left and right. I assure you this will definitely be a place I return to and Captain Kirk is definitely at the top of my list for a return trip. Thanks for the memories and fellowship Captain.”

Everything we were hoping for!

“ We had a perfect (minus the cold wearher) fishing trip with Cpt. Kirk Osborn! Our son was wanting to cross a Peacock Bass of his list and our Kirk delivered! He was very patient with those of us who weren’t very experienced (me!) and he brought us to all the good spots! We also appreciated his sense of humor. Wish it would have been warmer but highly recommend booking these guys!”

Excellent Experience
★★★★☆
“ Captain Kirk provided an excellent experience fishing for peacock, largemouth and cichlids. The boat was well-maintained and comfortable and there was easily sufficient quality equipment. Initially we were very successful followed by a period of 'fishing doldrums' but Captain Kirk was very supportive and concerned that it be a quality experience and went beyond expectation both in terms of his efforts and extending the time fishing. This ended up with a flurry of fish caught, a fine dénouement to the outing. In particular I was impressed with his readiness to retrieve my many snags and always have a line ready so there was no downtime. I look forward to future fishing adventures with Captain Kirk.”

Markham Park for my husband
★★★★★
“ I booked a 4 hour bass fishing trip for Markham Park for my husband and I. Our fishing guide Kirk (who is the BEST) was kind enough to call us the day before to tell us that the fishing at Markham Park wasn’t too good lately, and that he recommended going to Sawgrass Park instead. The experience was awesome! Kirk was so knowledgeable and was able to teach me (a newbie fisher) and my husband (a veteran bass fisher) a few things. While we didn’t catch any peacock bass, we caught probably 100 large mouth between my husband and I. It was an absolute blast and I would recommend it to any person who enjoys fishing.”

A great trip couple of months
★★★★★
“ Firstly sorry guys for reviewing that late but I forgot. End of march me and my GF booked a fishing trip in the Everglades and Captain Kirk showed us the beauty of the nature (in fact we requested for a combination of showing the Everglades and fishing there) He did perfect. Luckily fishing was the main focus and I could enjoy catching a couple of new species for me as Oscar, Chain Pickerel and more, just Gar and Mudfish were missed... by my own fault. I am sure we would have caught also big Largies but my focus was on catching as many species possible. Next time! Kirk did a great job, he supported my gf as she had almost no experience and we had lots of fun, laughter and insane lots of fish. I have been for 9 days in FL and I caught far over half of my holiday catches with Kirk. So guys, if you wanna enjoy fishing, a great Captain who is fun fishing with and to come home later with a big smile up on your face... book him. THANKS Kirk. Hope to see you next year again! Greetz from the Netherlands”
