Just got home after spending 3 days hunting iguanas and fishing for peacock bass with Jose as our guide. We had an absolutely incredible time and I already can't wait to go back! Jose is the best guide - it felt like we were hanging out with and having a good time on the water with a friend rather than a guide. He is definitely the guide you want if you want to get on big fish, he knows all the good spots and had us fighting fish the entire time. He was on it with making sure we always had a rod in our hands. If we snapped a line or got hung up, he was right there to hand us another rod while he took care of the problem. 1000% made it so we didn't waste even a minute of the few hours we had. He had cold drinks ready to go and made sure we were comfortable and having a good time. I really can't say enough good things, just book with him and you'll see for yourself! As a side note, if you don't have a big group, I highly recommend having his son Aaron tag along one day. We invited him on our last day and he is the coolest kid ever! Thank you Jose and Aaron! We will be back!!
