What should I bring for the trip?

forget and any personal snacks or drinks you enjoy.

We supply basic spinning combos ideal for peacock bass fishing.

If you’d like to try fly fishing, bait casting, or target species like snook and jacks, please ask us beforehand — we may have specialized
equipment available for rent.You’re always welcome to bring your own tackle and lures

If you need help arranging transport, we are happy in helping out arranging transportation services.

We provide basic snacks and bottled water on every trip.

However, since everyone has different preferences, we recommend bringing your own food and drinks if you’d like something specific.

responsibly.

We use both live bait and artificial lures, depending on the target species and fishing conditions.

Our standard trips accommodate up to 4–5 guests comfortably.

For larger groups, we can arrange multiple boats to ensure everyone enjoys the experience together.

No — you don’t need any license or special permit to fish with us.

We handle everything so you can just relax and enjoy your day.

If the weather is too bad to fish safely, we will either delay the trip until later in the day or reschedule it for another time at no extra
cost.

For example, if you arrive and it’s raining too hard to fish, we can wait it out at the dock until conditions improve.

However, if it’s light rain or generally fishable weather, the trip still runs as normal — fishing in the tropics often means dealing with
passing showers.

If you choose not to continue the trip due to light rain or personal preference, the full trip price still applies

Depending on the season, you can expect to catch peacock bass, snook, tarpon, and jack crevalle — the main target species we focus on.

Jaguar fish and oscar are common bycatches, but they’re not species we actively target.
