Expert Guided Freshwater Fishing Trips with Gear, Lessons, and More

ABOUT US

Welcome To Glades Jet

I'm Capt. Jose Carbonell, a South Florida native with a lifelong passion for fishing the region’s lakes and canal systems. With over two decades of experience, I’ve recently turned my passion into a full-time guiding career, helping anglers of all skill levels discover the thrill of freshwater fishing. I specialize in targeting Peacock Bass, Bullseye Snakehead, and other exciting exotic species.


As a semi-pro bass tournament angler, I stay on top of the latest techniques and love sharing my knowledge—while also learning from others. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the first time, I aim to provide a fun, educational, and action-packed experience on the water.


My fully rigged Stratos 201 Pro Elite is equipped with state-of-the-art Garmin electronics, Panoptix sonar, an 80lb Minn Kota trolling motor with weed cutter, twin 8’ Power-Poles, and a powerful 2020 Yamaha 250hp SHO engine—ensuring a smooth and productive day on the water.
