My nephews (10 and 12) were desperate to do some peacock bass fishing, so we took them out for a 4-hour fishing trip. I went along to be a good sport, not expecting to enjoy it myself, but I had a wonderful time! The captain Richard could not have been nicer and more helpful. And we caught SO MANY Peacock Bass! the kids had a great time. :)

Hello, Thank you very much for the GREAT day out. We are just happy about everything: a friendly captain (Richard), a nice boat, clear instructions, fantastic fishing, great weather, and big Peacock Bass! We catch 16!!! We also made a video of the trip, which can be found on YouTube:
Excellent fishing trip for complete beginners. captain Richard gives full tuition, brilliant pirate impressions, and lots of fishy jokes. we caught 10-plus peacock bass, some 5 lbs and up; after returning home, we miss this wonderful time. 😀
Richard got us on board and under way quickly, as he knew Peacock Bass were in the Beach. He found them for us, and it was an amazing experience, particularly for the children aboard. Then on to searching for fish, which, again, the captain found for us. We all caught lots of bass (totally 15+). This was one of the best trips we've ever done. The 12- and 14-year-olds loved it. Felt very safe, and Richard is a great teacher! Would do it again if in Miami.
It was Dad's and the guys'. With Richard, we had a fantastic time, catching each other constantly and learning how not to hook each other! We caught over 35 Peacock Bass between us, and Lucas (9) and Gabriel (12) were completely hooked! We'll return on this trip next month for the holidays!
Great trip! Will definitely use the BassOnline for my next trip! Really friendly and helpful captain Richard, we will rebook in Aug last. Thanks again for the 6.5 lb peacock bass....
Stumbled upon Bass Online’s fishing trip by chance, and what a wonderful surprise we had! We caught a 6lbs Peacock Bass and spent most of the non stop action! Capt. Richard was extremely friendly and was very easygoing. It was definitely money and time well spent! I’m sure we’ll be back!
A first-ever fishing trip for my 12 year old son and me turned out to be such a lovely experience that we booked again on the following day. My boy was overjoyed to catch his first Peacock Bass and, we were really lucky to catch a lot of fish. Special thanks to our very friendly captain Richard, who was happy to share his knowledge and tips and made sure everyone had a good time. This was one of the highlights of our holiday in Miami South Beach, and we'll definitely book again next time we come here.
Captain Rick with BassLine was great! He had the best technology and high quality equipment to ensure we'd have the best chances. It was my partner's birthday - Rick surprised him with a delicious aweet treat. We made some good catches and had some laughs! Be sure to pack sunscreen/proper gear for weather.
I wanted to personally thank Richard for making such a positive impact. 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.
Perfect way to spend 4hr on the water with a group. Richard made it fun and relaxing while everyone got involved in fishing and stayed engaged the whole time.
The whole experience is top notch whether you are out with Captain Richard. Communication is excellent with everything clearly explained, and there is always help available when needed. We saw natural views and caught peacock bass throughout the trip. Always is guaranteed, and you have a great chance of success out here.
This is a great thing to do while in Miami South Beach. Richard is absolutely lovely and shows you a really good time. Great, we caught lots of peacock bass this time. I would love to give it another go and catch more for lunch with friends. Good fun, great value, highly recommended.
We 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!
Lovely 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.
I 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.
Our 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.
We had a fabulous morning out, Miami South Beach fishing with Captain Richard. The boys loved it. It was well run and really good fun. We caught lots of peacock bass, enjoyed a tasty lunch as a result, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to all.
We've been sea fishing on Captain Richard's boats for a number of years, and this year was as fantastic as ever. My brother managed to catch a huge peacock bass, causing a lot of excitement on the boat, and in return, it didn't do the competitive aspects between me and my brother any harm! Richard always makes sure everyone gets as much help and tuition as they need; the trips are always great fun, and I can't wait to be back in Miami South Beach and get the chance to go on a trip again.
A really enjoyable 6 hours of peacock bass fishing with Richard. My two boys and I (plus a friend and his son) had a great time. Everything's provided; just turn up. If we can catch a dozen or so peacock bass, then anyone can! We'll definitely do this again next time we're in Miami South Beach. Thanks for a great time!
My stepson had an inset day today, and I thought maybe I could take him for his first experience of fishing from a boat. So I booked a 4-hour trip with this company, and the captain was Richard. I really say, Richard, you're a legend. With local knowledge and guidance, I'm now gutting and filleting 20 good-sized peacock bass. My stepson was made up with the day and can't wait to get back out on the sea for more angling. Once again, thank you, Richard, for a great morning. It meant a lot. Will certainly be using this trip's services next summer. Would highly recommend these boat trips.
We have moved down to Miami South Beach and everyone had said if you go Peacock Bass fishing then Bass Online Fishing Guides is the best company, and they were right! We have friends down for the winter and took the boat for 6 of us ranging from 15 years up to 60 and everyone loved it. we caught over 50 fish. Planning to go back out again soon and will definitely take all our friends that visit out with captain Richard.
What a lovely time we had! My 10 year old daughter was enthralled by the whole experience. Richard was so friendly and informative about the fishing in Miami South Beach, and he also helped land our catch. Probably the most memorable time of our holiday, we would strongly recommend it!
Friendly & welcoming captain Richard, who was great with me and my kids (12, 14). My son caught a huge peacock bass fish. We will book an 8-hour trip on my elder son's birthday next month also. Highly recommend
On a family holiday in a group of 5, age range 9-52 years, we can only highly recommend Bass Online Fishing Guides in Miami. From booking online, it was wonderful; we caught a large Largemouth bass (10 lb+) and a total of 12+. Captain Richard helped us for a full 4 hours; this was a true highlight of our holiday. Thank you to the team; keep up the excellent work. We can only highly recommend it. We'll definitely be back!
The canals are beautiful and calm. We caught lots of fish, and saw many interesting animals & birds, including 2 pairs of wild Macaw parrots. Our guide was Robert Miley. He is very pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and we caught a lot of fish. What else could you ask for?
Great trip. He made sure both of us pulled up some peacock bass. Knows the waters very well. Would highly recommend for anyone that wants to catch some bass.
