Unbelievable trip and even better guide! Not only did we catch a ton of fish Capt Lou was great to interact with. He was great with my boys 11 and 13 and you could tell he has a passion for what he does. Definitely will be back!

I’ve had the pleasure of going on several trips with Cap Lou, and I highly recommend him. He’s not only an experienced guide but also extremely knowledgeable about the Everglades. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll always learn something new when fishing with him. Besides being a great guy to fish with, he's like a walking bass fishing encyclopedia. I've had multiple outings with him, some resulting in over 100 bass caught, so you really can't ask for more. Highly recommend!

I was fortunate to book a trip with Capt Lou, and was immediately impressed with his overall knowledge, from how he pre planned the trip for the specific area we were going to target and concentrate on, and he was able to put me on the fish, and provided an opportunity to land my PB (personal best) Peacock Bass. (See pics attached) Capt Lou, is very friendly, and conscientious about the safety of the client and really wants the client to have a great fishing experience. His boat (Vexxus) is very comfortable to fish out of, and very well equipped, with top of the line technology. I would highly recommend anyone looking to have a great fishing experience to book a trip with Capt Lou, asap, and don’t hesitate cause he fills up fast. R.Dominguez

I had an amazing time fishing in the Everglades with Capt. Lou. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. Thanks again for helping me catch my first Peacock Bass! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be fishing with Capt. Lou again!

The best guide on the water! I caught 57 Peacock and Largemouth Bass. I highly recommend booking with Captain Lou and can’t wait to fish with him again!

If you’re looking for someone experienced in local conditions with up to date knowledge of current patterns look no further than Capt Lou. I first booked with Capt Lou because of his exclusive use of artificial lures for Pea’s and Largemouth. Being an avid fisherman from the north and new to South Florida Capt Lou offered exactly what I was looking for in a guide. Our first trip out was with my son, which btw this was my son’s first trip ever. Capt Lou took my son under his wing and taught him the basics of casting, target spots and lure presentations all the while displaying great patience with a new beginner, which allowed me to do my own thing form the back of the boat. I have introduced friends and family to Capt Lou and every single outing has been nothing less than extraordinary with lots of shared knowledge, laughs and of course a ton of fish in the boat.
