5.00Returning to Miami on a cloudy day, I decided to head out again for a short fishing trip. The first peacock bass hit within minutes of getting the line in the water, and I ended up catching several nice fish. Do not let the weather put you off, if the boat is heading out, it is worth going. You will have a memorable time

Since going out on regular fishing trips, there is a real passion for fishing now, always coming back with a big smile and a great catch of peacock bass. It has truly been a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique gift.

5.00We had a really lovely trip catching peacock bass! Richard was a great guy and had some fascinating stories to tell about Miami South Beach. The boat ride was great fun, despite slightly bumpy waves! Beautiful views of the water and nature and overall it was a really wonderful morning out. A bonus at the end was getting to eat our fresh mackerel for lunch at home!
Beautiful boat trip

5.00Lovely trip on a beautiful day. Five passengers are on board with Captain Richard. I personally caught 13 peacock bass fish caught in total, but the kids had fun anyway, and I enjoyed the views of Miami's South Beach.

5.00I had the most amazing experience going out fishing on Friday with the family with Richard. I went out for a 4-hour trip and caught lots of peacock bass. It was delicious. I highly recommend a trip with Bass Online Fishing Guides when you visit Miami South Beach. This has made my weekend.

5.00Our daughter (Alice, 15 years old) really wanted to go on a boat trip; however, we were struggling to find one that was running. Luckily, Bass Online Fishing Guides organized one for us. The trip was lovely and well-organized. Captain Richard was very friendly; we caught 35+ peacock bass in 240 min. Would highly recommend.
Awesome family day

5.00We booked with Bass Online Fishing Guides after reading everyone's positive reviews, and we couldn't have been more delighted with the trip. Our boys are only 10 and 12, so they don't have huge attention spans. We were thinking that a fishing trip might teach them a little patience. Hilariously, Richard is such a legendary fisherman that we couldn't stop the fish from jumping onto our lines! The whole morning was a barrel of fun, from the boat ride out to sea to the fishing itself and then Richard's expert instruction on how to gut and clean the fish. When we got back to shore, we were able to get our fish made into fish. Highly, highly recommend going fishing with Richard.
