Again in a heartbeat
★★★★★
“ Went out with Bobby, he’s just an all-around terrific guy, and he’s a heck of a guide. He was so concerned about us because there had just been a severe cold front. But he still put us on 33 fish and we caught nine different species! The peacock bass were awesome, also caught a clown knife fish, and some Cichlid which were a bonus. I’d go out with a him again in a heartbeat.”

A good experience
★★★★★
“ My cousin and I had planned this fishing trip for about 15 years. While we would have liked to have landed more fish, we understand that we have no control over wind speeds and fish dispositions. We fished 2 days, once with Brett Isackson in the glades and once with Bob Miley in the Falls canals. Both these fellas are top-notch—-friendly, knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Would love to fish with either captains any time.”

“ I can not recommend this service enough! I can confidently say that there is no greater fishing service in the South FL area. I have been lucky enough to book with South Florida Peacock Bass multiple times. They are expert anglers and teachers who have taught me more about fishing then I knew existed. I started out doing freshwater with Peacock bass and even landed a nice Tarpon. Every fish that we have set out to target we have gotten. A fantastic service for the expert angler or the newbie fisherman.”

Peacock fishing with Capt. Robert Miley
★★★★★
“ On the day I went fishing it was unusually cold in Miami which generally results in the peacock bass not coming out to feed as much. However, Capt. Bob knew where they would be hiding and how to catch them under these circumstances. Thanks to his amazing guidance I was able to catch a couple of beautiful peacocks as well as some very tough Jack Crevalle's!”

“ Had a great day on the water with Captain Bob Miley. I've been dying to catch a Peacock Bass. Called yesterday afternoon and I was on the water 12 hours later. Very impressed. From the young lady on the phone who took my reservation to the master, Bob Miley. Got lots of fish, lost a couple of big ones. Was really a great experience. I fish a lot, have a lot of experience with guides. A good one can make all the difference. Thank you bassonline.com and Capt. Bob. See you again very soon.”

Top notch
★★★★★
“ Captain Robert Miley is the BEST! My son and I went peacock bass fishing in Miami with Captain Robert Miley on January 1st, 2018. I will start by talking about fishing and then I will talk about Captain Robert Miley. Captain Miley's boat is immaculate and his gear is top-notch. He had everything ready for us and he was also early. He knew all the good spots and was obviously very experienced. He went way beyond for us. Recent hurricanes fell a lot of trees in the canals we were fishing in yet that did not deter Captain Miley. He navigated around the trees and debris risking damage to his boat to get my son and me to the best spots. He only had inches literally, but he was so skilled he was able to do it. We caught a good amount of Peacock Bass and my son caught a monster 6 lb peacock bass. I wish I could post a picture of it. If you could see the look on my son's face you would know what I mean. Now about Captain Robert Miley the man. He was kind, gentle, funny, and entertaining. He was patient, caring, interested, and engaging. If you could see how he treated my son and how he made us feel you would know what I mean. Captain Robert Miley is the man I would love my son to become, the man I would like to be. He is the father I never knew but wish I had. Don't go fishing with Captain Miley just because he is good at fishing. Do go with him because he is one of the most decent human beings you will ever meet. He just happens to be good at fishing as well:-)”

We caught a lot of big peacock bass but with Bob Miley, I wouldn't mind if we didn't catch a fish at all, I love his story's and who he is as a person and will be sure to fish with him every time I'm in Florida. Thanks, Bob, Ryan”

Fantastic fishing experience!!!
★★★★★
“ Fished for 5 days with Bass Online. I had 3 different guides, Brett, Bob, and Tony. I am 68 years young and did I have a BLAST!! I expressed prior to my fishing that I wanted to use live bait and I knew it was my responsibility to purchase. There was NEVER a problem, we stopped at the bait shop each morning, and I bought the shinners. All one has to do is read what is expected of you, it is on their website. Anyway, a dream come true. I was picked up each morning on time at my hotel and returned that evening, that was a BIG plus!! And when the guide says he will be there at 6 am, he was there at 6 am. Anyway caught LOTS of fish, only the guide and myself on the boat so we just had FUN, this is the way I wanted it also. I have fished a lot all over and I can truly say, they KNOW what they are talking about, for heaven's sake listen to them-they do this for a living. Thank you, Lori, for answering all my questions, met your husband at bait shop-nice guy. Please relay to my guides that I truly had a FANTASTIC time. God bless all- Bobby Sboray, Roanoke, Va.”

Fishing the canals
★★★★★
“ Hello folks, I'm just your basic 57 yr old "good ol boy\" from Alabama. I have fished in and offshore for most of my adult life. my wife and I had the pleasure of a 6 hour trip with Capt. Robert Miley. I really did not know what to expect, he (roger) drops a 21 ft ranger in a canal behind a shopping center!!! my first thought was here we go!! Robert is the ultimate professional. he put my wife and me at ease, and we were catching peacocks within the first five minutes!!! what a wonderful afternoon !! we actually caught around 20-25 fish, with the highlight of the day being back to back 5 pounders!!! if you have never fished for peacocks, imagine catching a 5 ib amberjack on 15 lb test... they just don't stop fighting or give up! my highest praise to Capt Robert, if I am ever back in the Miami area I will definitely fish with him again!!!”
