I was told on the plane that the peacock bass fishing was good around Miami. Luckily I hooked up with Captain Abie. I did a 1/2 day trip... read more and had good action with the Peacock Bass all morning. Captain Abie was very pleasant to fish with and I enjoyed all his knowledge of the fish and area. Well equipped. Clean, and just very pleasant to fish with. I highly recommend Captain Abie if you would like to catch Peacock Bass fish and any other species available. Thanks Captain Abie. We will hopefully see you again.

His... read more mentor is the IGFA Hall of Fame and Billfish Foundation Gold medalist, Capt Bouncer Smith. Both of these two legendary guides worked side by side for 15 years. I try to fish with Capt Abie at least four times a year ( winter, spring, summer, and late fall). His fund of knowledge is unparalleled: a native of Miami Beach, he knows the front (Atlantic to Gulf Stream) and the back (Biscayne Bay) in a Jedi like fashion that one would only expect from a native Floridian. Depending on the time of year, he knows what fish are on location, the best spot, and the best terminal tackle. He can offer live bait fishing for sailfish, deep dropping for grouper, snappers, and amberjacks, or hunting for mahi. Since he knows Miami so well, he can locate tarpon when they are in town. As for snook and sea trout, he reliably can put you on these fish. He is a very kind person. He respects his customers showing a sincere concern that they enjoy their time aboard his vessel. He respects the environment and the precious marine life : he will release appropriately or harvest fish as you request. He also is an expert in freshwater: his knowledge of local Miami fresh water habitats allows him to offer exotic fishing including the Peacock Bass, Ciclids of various varieties, the clown knife fish, and fresh water snook and large mouth bass. He will teach your children the nuances of fishing and will become a life long part of your family’s experience and memories. Simply put, he is the real deal: nice, kind, productive, and just plain FUN!!

We walked away with an excellent meal of American red snapper, Bonita, and king mackerel! Plus we landed a shark all in a 4 hour span of time. Captain Abie will take pictures and document your trip for you to remember for the years to come. I highly recommend going to Cpt. Abie for the best fishing experience in Miami.

  I’m a trout fisherman from Wyoming. Abie came well recommended from a fly-guide buddy from home.

The clear water sight fishing in the canal was a ton of fun. Seemed like most of the canal water is bordered by private land. Abie’s access to the canals by boat is clutch. Worth every penny. Thanks for the great day.

Captain Abie was very considerate of our whole party, and he paid special attention to our 8 year old angler, teaching him about the different fish and techniques. We even had a bonus back at the dock feeding finger mullet to the tarpon! Highly recommend - Five Stars!

He is very good at explaining what you need to do and answering questions. He is kind and patient and generous with his extensive knowledge. He’s also fun and hilarious. I would never fish with anyone else. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Captain Abie!!!!!
