Fantastic Day on the Glades We had an amazing day. My group of four adults had plenty of room on the boat. Captain Jose was great as well, he put us on a shaded and breezy spot in the Everglades with virtually no mosquitos. Jose was very knowledgeable of the area and the different fish in the area. As well, his boat equipment put us right on the fish. With his help we were able to catch plenty of decently sized fish all morning. As we caught five separate species, we also made plenty of unforgettable memories. I cannot recommend this service enough.

Great Day and a Great Guide! We had a great day. Four adults fit well on the boat. Bill was a great guy to hang out with and we caught so many fish we lost count. Got some big Peacock Bass and a fun variety of others. He was a good teacher and helped us in learning some good tricks in bass fishing. We would definitely book with Bill again.

Everglades Extravaganza What a wild and amazing fishing adventure. We had no idea the wide variety of fish species available in the Everglades. This was more of a catching trip than a fishing trip. Brett knows where the fish are and will coach you so you can catch the largest of each species. Being from Texas this was a totally different experience, but if you listen to Brett’s advice, you WILL catch fish. We caught well over 100 fish on our trip, that included some exceptional Peacock Bass. We caught almost every species of fish that calls the Everglades home. We highly recommend Florida Everglades Charters.

Fishing with Captain Jose! An Unforgettable Everglades Experience! We had an amazing day fishing in the Everglades with Captain Jose! As beginner fishermen, we weren’t sure what to expect—but Jose made everything easy, fun, and incredibly rewarding. We caught tons of bass throughout the day, and thanks to his guidance, we felt like pros by the end of the trip!
Captain Jose was not only super knowledgeable, but also patient and encouraging. He took the time to show us the ropes, teach us the basics, and made sure we were set up for success. He came prepared with water and drinks to keep us comfortable, and his upbeat attitude made the entire experience even better.
Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler, Captain Jose is the guy you want leading your trip. He knows the Everglades like the back of his hand and knows how to make sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!

Basstastic!!! My son and I had an absolutely tremendous two-hour afternoon trip with Jose today. Top boat, top equipment, top captain! More bass than we could have hoped for, including a beautiful peacock, which made our day. Booking was easy thanks to Jose’s prompt communication; we actually arrived an hour early, and after a quick text exchange he was there to meet us 20 minutes later! Overall, an exceptional experience, highly recommended. Thank you, Jose!

Captain Jose My 13 yr old son and I had our scubadiving charter boat cancel on us due to rough seas. We quickly booked with Jose after seeing he had a nice fiberglass 21ft Ranger bass boat. I caught 9 largemouth and my son caught 15 using artificial bait in 2 hrs. His boat is very nice and well kept, with new state of the art Garmin electronics. We had a great time fishing with Jose. I would recommend him for your fishing adventures in South Florida.

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.

Unforgettable Everglades Adventure with Captain John! My fiancé and I had an absolutely incredible time on our recent fishing trip with Bass Fishing, Florida Everglades Charters, and it’s all thanks to the amazing Captain John! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain John’s warm personality and extensive knowledge of the Everglades made us feel like we were in the best of hands.
He knew all the hot spots for catching peacock bass and Oscars, and we were thrilled to reel in several of each! But the highlight of the trip was definitely seeing the numerous alligators in their natural habitat – a truly unforgettable experience.
Captain John went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, sharing fascinating insights about the local wildlife and ecosystem. His passion for the Everglades was contagious, and he made the entire experience both educational and exciting.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable Everglades adventure, look no further than Florida Everglades Charters. And if you’re lucky enough to have Captain John as your guide, you’re in for a real treat! We can’t wait to book our next trip with them!

30-40 fish. Great Guide. Was Fortunate enough to have Bill guide our fishing trip in the Everglades. Couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We caught 30 to 40 fish and saw a couple gators. Best part was when we caught two fat peacock bass just as the passer by obnoxious airboat captain was mocking us by telling his tour group we would only catch a sun burn or a hangover.

Early morning catching! We caught plenty of peacock bass and one clown knife fish! All gave a nice fight and Captain Brett netted them for our pictures and we then released them all. He was very helpful; baiting our hooks, casting for us if we wanted and put us with fish at every stop. Thoroughly enjoyed our morning. Because of the water temperature we didn’t go to the Everglades ( too hot) we went to Delray to a neat park that feeds into some canals. Good spots! Thanks Captain!

Had a Blast and Hammered the Fish! First and foremost, Capt Bill was Phenomenal. This was our first inland water trip with my Daughter and Son in Law and first fishing in Everglades. Hoping for Largemouth and Peacock bass was our quarry. Good Tim a year for peacock, medium for Largemouth. Said he was going to get on the fish and we did. We were catching so many I stopped counting at 50 and that was in the first 1.5 hours or so.
Capt Bill very informative, knew the quarry, knew the Everglades, historical stuff and a great sense of humor. Kept us on fish all day. Even when it was high noon , hit as hell and water temps up there. Definitely will be back, and definitely would recommend Capt Bill

Had a Blast and Hammered the Fish! First and foremost, Capt Bill was Phenomenal. This was our first inland water trip with my Daughter and Son in Law and first fishing in Everglades. Hoping for Largemouth and Peacock bass was our quarry. Good Tim a year for peacock, medium for Largemouth. Said he was going to get on the fish and we did. We were catching so many I stopped counting at 50 and that was in the first 1.5 hours or so.

Fishing with CPT Brett Fished the 2nd week of March with CPT Brett. Boat has lots of deck room to move around and cast your line. We didn’t start our day until after 10am ( our choice) so other Captains were already at most of the better fishing spots, but CPT Brett got us on fish at his 1st and 3rd spot. We caught 60 Peacock Bass, 2 catfish, 10 Oscars, and 1 of two other species. Water temp was 77 degrees. CPT Brett said, that when the water temperate hits 80 degrees, its when the Peacock Bass really bit. Very Good Day, we recommend, and will return again.

Captain Bill It was a slow start due to the cold weather, but by the end of the trip we were able to catch double digit Peacock Bass. The was a result of Captain Bill and his tenacious attitude to find the fish and boy did we. Highly recommend.

Captain Kirk Osbourne was awesome! Great Peacock Bass and Snakeheads Captain Kirk knows his stuff! He really gave us an education and we learned a lot and have fished for peacock for 20 years and I leaned a lot. My 33 year old son has had some health issues and is finally able to go fishing again and Captain Kirk was super patient and very accommodating! Next Time I use a guide it will be with Captain Kirk! Only disappointment was his boat was not named the Enterprise! Bass online made this super easy to book. We just had to show up it was freaking awesome!!!!

Joe Gruny exception guide 6hr trip with Joe Wednesday November 14th was everything I hoped for and more. Joe put us on fish immediately and the action was nonstop until we were wore out. I added to my bucket list by catching peacock bass on my fly rod with a fly that I designed . Couldn't ask for a better day on the water.

Peacock Bass Went out with Captain Wayne Fellows this morning to fish for Peacock Bass, per his recommendation. Never heard of that type of bass. We used live bait and they put up a good fight. Loved it. Captain Wayne knows the hot spots and does everything to make sure you're happy. I recommend requesting him.

Fishing for Florida exotics in Ft. Lauderdale Spent a great morning with Capt. Wayne Fellows hauling in "too-many-to-count" peacock bass, largemouth bass, and snakeheads. Captain Fellows' easy manner, expert knowledge, and professional demeanor made for a trip I intend to repeat every year...perhaps a couple of times a year.

Peacock bass fishing We came down to Miami for a friends bachelor party and myself and another guy decided to try and catch some peacock bass. Went out with captain Kirk and he put us on the fish. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Very knowledgeable and professional. If I go back I'll definitely be doing this again. He helped me catch a fish that has been on my bucket list for years.

2 great days on Okeechobee My buddy Rick and I had 2 full days (Feb 4 and 5, 2017) on Lake Okeechobee with guid Brett Isackson, it was a blast. The first day he had us over 50 fish, with multiple 4,5,6,7 and an 8 pounder. Wind picked up the next day so we couldn't return to the same sport as the previous day, so Brett found us a different spot based on the wind conditions and direction. We got over 60 bass the second day, we really didn't think we could beat day 1, but did. Brett was a real pro. I got his name as a guide at Bass Online from a friend and had done one previous trip with he and another guide, and our boat got 49 on the Big O that day as well. I'd highly recommend Brett for any trip, this guy can put you on quality fish as well as quantity. Thanks again for a great 2 days Brett!!!
