Looking for a fishing challenge that'll test your skills and give you stories to tell for years? Our 7-hour snakehead charter in Hollywood puts you face-to-face with one of South Florida's most aggressive predators. This isn't your typical boat trip - we're talking land-based fishing that takes you through some of the best freshwater spots in Broward County. You'll be walking creek banks, casting into hidden ponds, and working the edges where these prehistoric-looking fish love to ambush their prey. With space for just two anglers, you get the personal attention and prime fishing spots that make this a top-rated experience among serious bass and exotic species hunters.
This charter is all about covering ground and finding active fish. We start early to beat the heat and hit multiple locations throughout the day - from shallow ponds where snakeheads cruise the surface to winding creeks with perfect ambush points. You'll be doing a fair amount of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must. The beauty of land-based fishing is getting into spots that boat traffic never touches. These fish haven't seen every lure in the tackle shop, which means they're more willing to bite. Our guides know exactly where these predators hold up during different times of day, and we adjust our approach based on weather conditions and fish activity. Expect to switch between topwater action in the morning and subsurface presentations as the sun gets higher.
We provide all the rods and tackle you need, but if you've got favorites, bring them along. For snakeheads, we typically run medium-heavy to heavy action rods with braided line - these fish have razor-sharp teeth and zero quit in them. Topwater frogs and buzzbaits are money makers early in the day when snakeheads are actively hunting in the shallows. As conditions change, we switch to chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics worked around structure. The key is staying mobile and adapting to what the fish want. Our guides will show you how to read the water, identify prime holding spots, and present your lure to trigger aggressive strikes. Since we're targeting largemouth bass too, you'll learn techniques that work for both species - making you a better all-around angler.
Great snakehead are what dreams are made of for South Florida anglers. These apex predators can grow over 15 pounds in our local waters and fight like nothing you've experienced. They're ambush hunters that love thick cover and shallow water, making them perfect targets for topwater presentations. Spring through fall gives you the best action, with peak feeding times early morning and late afternoon. What makes snakeheads special is their ability to breathe air - you'll often see them gulping at the surface, which is pure adrenaline when you're sight fishing. They hit hard, jump high, and never give up without a serious fight. The explosive topwater strikes alone make this trip worth every penny.
Largemouth bass in Hollywood's freshwater systems are chunky and aggressive, especially around the same structure that holds snakeheads. These bass average 2-4 pounds but don't let that fool you - they fight above their weight class in the thick cover we fish. Peak bass action runs from fall through spring when cooler water temperatures keep them active all day. They're opportunistic feeders that will crush the same lures we use for snakeheads, making for exciting mixed bags. Local bass have plenty of forage and cover, so they're healthy and hard-fighting. Many anglers are surprised how acrobatic these freshwater bass can be compared to their saltwater cousins.
This 7-hour snakehead adventure gives you the full South Florida freshwater experience without fighting crowds or dealing with boat ramps. You'll learn new techniques, target exotic species, and fish waters that most anglers never see. Our world-class guides put you on fish and teach you skills that'll make you successful long after the trip ends. Whether you're a seasoned bass angler looking for a new challenge or someone wanting to tangle with one of Florida's most exciting predators, this charter delivers.

Channa MaruliusGreat snakeheads are the bullseye fish we're after - named for that distinctive orange and black spot near their tail. These predators average 18 inches and 4 pounds, but can grow much larger. They're air-breathing fish that hover in midwater around submerged vegetation in our local ponds and canals. What makes them special is their aggressive strike and bass-like fight once hooked. They hit topwater lures hard during warmer months, especially frogs and poppers. In cooler weather, live minnows or crayfish work better. Here's the key - cast tight to cover and be ready for that explosive surface strike. Their razor-sharp teeth mean you'll need pliers, but that powerful fight makes every hookup worth it. Plus, they're excellent eating when prepared right.
Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouths are the classic freshwater game fish that got most of us started. These green-bodied fighters average 12-24 inches and 1-4 pounds, with that signature big mouth extending past their eyes. They love shallow, weedy areas around structure - fallen trees, docks, and grass lines are prime spots. Spring through fall are peak times when water temps hit 60°F and above. What guests love most is their aggressive strike and acrobatic fight - they'll jump and run once hooked. They hit everything from plastic worms to topwater plugs, but here's a local tip: throw red lures during spawning season. They're territorial and will attack anything red near their beds. Good eating too, especially from cleaner waters.
