Fully Guided Freshwater Fishing Trips in Southwest Ranches, Florida

Planning a freshwater fishing trip in South Florida can feel overwhelming, even if you’re a seasoned angler. The extensive network of lakes and canals in the region may seem inviting, but without local knowledge, your day on the water can turn futile without a single bite. In reality, the most extensive freshwater species, like Peacock Bass and Bullseye Snakehead, are smart, territorial, and unpredictable. So, if you’re visiting the wrong spots or using the wrong bait, you’ll miss out on the species entirely.

This is where I can make your fishing trip enjoyable and successful. At Glades Jet, I offer fully guided freshwater fishing trips in Southwest Ranches, Florida, and its surrounding regions. I, Captain Jose Carbonell, a semi-pro tournament angler with over 10 years of experience fishing South Florida waters, specialize in guided freshwater fishing charters. I take the guesswork out of the equation with my in-depth knowledge of the canal system and high-end fishing gear. My advanced boat setup ensures you’ll be spending less time searching and more time reeling in the action!

It was great going out with Jose on a fishing trip. He was very knowledgeable and he was able to put us on to some snakeheads, peacock bass, and largemouth bass. He has great equipment on an awesome boat that just made the entire trip enjoyable.
