We are a premier operation targeting fresh and saltwater species in the urban canals and Florida Everglades. I am fortunate to fish almost every day year round!

My name is Scott Rose and I am a 26 year old graduate from the University of Miami. I grew up in New York fly fishing for brown trout, but my travels to Florida have forced me to change my way. I now guide in Miami for peacock bass and I am the current IGFA All-Tackle World Record holder for the Popoca Peacock. My passion is being outside and teaching people about the sport that I love so much. I run a bass tracker which is perfectly suited for the fisheries I target.

I spent close to three weeks in Brazil this year chasing giant peacock bass on the Jurubaxi. It was probably my most memorable trip yet. So many big fish and the lowest water levels any of us had ever seen. It presented extremely unique situations that I have never seen before.

This fish was in a shallow part of a lagoon in no more than 2 feet of water. There was no deeper water in 200 yards in any direction. She was swimming along with an even bigger fish that was likely very close to 20 pounds.

As I made my cast towards them I realized these fish were guarding fry. The smaller of the two defensively attacked and it was game on. I felt like I was transported back to Florida, watching this large fish push a constant wake along the sandy bottom it was living in.

After releasing her, I watched her return to her partner and the fry. Instead of casting at the other fish, we decided to follow them for over 20 minutes, getting a rare, up-close look at their interaction—something we rarely get to witness.

This is just one of many incredible stories from my Amazon trip this year. If you’re interested in joining me next year or in 2026, I already have every prime week reserved. Please message me if you are interested in the ultimate trip of a lifetime.

Fishing is HOT in South FL as we are entering the prime season! This two day trip was nothing short of epic. Multiple 7 pounders that were sight casted and 5 pounders coming in on the fly. It doesn't really get any better than that.
Right now our fly fishing only days are averaging well over 150 fish per trip.
The season is starting to fill out but we still have scattered availability in every month all the way through May. Go ahead and reach out to get on the calendar!

It’s not everyday you see a peacock of this caliber.

This was the biggest landed peacock from our most recent trip to the Amazon. Coming in at 23 pounds, this fish was an absolute tank. Truly the fish of most peoples dreams!

We hook fish like this every trip but they very often beat the angler by getting into structure. This time Aaron and John were not going to be denied!!!!

I had a couple last minute cancellations on our next trip in late October. Please reach out if you are interested. I have been all over the world and this is the only trip I continue to do year after year. It simply doesn’t get better than this 🍻

Some insane fishing for a few of my favorite repeat clients John and TJ.
Two days and probably 300 fish in the boat. Most fish were in the 2-4 pound class. Tons of fish on top water. These are the types of trips that make it all worth it 🙌.
The bite is red hot and so is the weather. If you can handle the heat you need to make it down for some ridiculous action!

Red hot fishing in the Everglades lately. A lot of healthy fish and plenty of big fish scattered through. Here's a couple fish from some of the last few days, we have some last minute availability in April and early May!

Awesome morning and afternoon half day with some new clients as well as some great friends.
Nice mix of clowns and peacocks throughout both trips, I believe we ended up with 5 grand slams and 7 species landed!

Strong bite in the Glades right now! Lots of big fish and happy clients on board.
I have only scattered openings for the next couple of months but you are definitely going to want to hit me up to get in on the action. We are entering my favorite fishing of the year... pretty much every day is going to be a great for a couple months in a row!
We are also entering the best time of year to fly fish. You do not need to have any experience to catch a bunch of fish on the glades with a fly, just a willingness to learn. 100-200+ fish days are going to be the norm very soon!

Wintertime bite is in full force! As the temps start to warm up we will be entering the best fishing of the year. Everglades bites are producing good numbers and super productive fly fishing trips are right around the corner. In the urban canals, we have been catching clown knife at a better clip than I can remember in a long time. 10 bites a day with several landed have been the norm lately and that is for a lot of shorter trips. I am enjoying the start of 2024 so far 👍
This bite was a good one. We nailed 6 clowns (including a triple!), a couple dozen peas and bass, and several big crappie to round out an awesome morning.

This hot fall bite has only continued the last few weeks. Water temperatures in the 70s have made for some very happy fish. This trip was a fun one. 6 clowns, dozens of peacocks, and a few largemouth and hybrids made for several grand slams!
I still have a few open dates before the year ends, and my winter and spring calendar is filling up faster than normal. Thank you everyone!

Just wrapped up my second of two trips this year with and andwas lucky enough to grab another musky. Last week I snuck Rachel over and I was stoked to watch Sam put her on her first musky, an awesome moment for all of us. These fish are oftentimes very challenging to land and this trip proved that to be the case. Thanks for a great trip Sam, lots of fun and it was awesome having you show us a little bit more about your part of the world 👍👍

Giant gator down!! What a great hunt with my buddies Drew and Steve. This monster bull gator measured 11'8" and represents a ton of meat going in the freezer for my guys. From start to finish, the battle with this gator went over two hours! We were all wiped out when we finally got him into the boat 👍🤣

It has been a very successful alligator season. Thanks to everyone involved in helping make it happen!

Rock solid peacock and clown knifefish fishing lately. I really enjoy fishing the fall in south Florida. Cooler temps and minimal boat traffic usually makes for really great fishing!!
I still have a few days left open for 2023 but at this point I am pretty close to booked out. Thanks again everybody for another awesome season!

2023 was a very solid alligator hunting season for me and my crew. This hunt in particular was one of my favorites. I had Natalie, Tim, and Rachel on board for their first alligator hunt. We bagged a 10 footer to kick things off and wrapped up the hunt with another just under 9’. It’s pretty awesome sharing my experiences outdoors with family.

A big thanks to for helping me out with this hunt!!

Mega snook today for Jay and his crew. Lots of small snook and decent jacks were available but this big girl was the cherry on top. There’s a bunch of giant snook around this time time of year - if you’re willing to deal with the heat now is the time.

07/07/2023

Water temps have been crazy high lately. I actually marked 96 degrees yesterday afternoon. Despite that the fishing has still been pretty strong. Lots of nice peacocks and clowns have made for some easy trips and happy clients this week! 👍👍

Took advantage of the calm weather this week to mix up the action and do some sight casting for triple tails. Several on fly and a couple more on artificial, lots of opportunities on fish up to 10 pounds. Several shots on permit but we all know that typically goes. The Hewes performed beautifully when we took it about 10 miles offshore as well 🔥🔥

Yesterday was the rainiest day on record for Fort Lauderdale. Luckily I had two groups of clients that both didn’t care and wanted to fish.
Because of the rain almost everybody stayed home so we decided to check out some water that normally gets a lot of angling pressure. The fish were fired up and we crushed em 🔥🔥

Fantastic multi species slam for repeat clients Lee and Gary, visiting all the way from England. Round two tomorrow 🤘
