Great trip and a great guide
Had the pleasure of fishing with capt. Miley on 9/6 in the aero jet canal, threw top water all morning and landed 6 peacock bass and several largemouth. The last two largemouths caught were in the 7-8 pound range. Capt Miley is a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to fish with. Thanks for a great day on the water
