Great trip!
Went two days and caught bass and peacock bass! Went to Lake Ida, then went to Lake Okeechobee in FL. The guides knew where to take us. Went with my adult sons while in FL celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Our wives were happy for us! All around good trip will do it again!

Best fishing with Capt Kirk
Captain Kirk Osborne is amazing! Three of us took a 4-hour peacock trip out of the Markham Park area. The weather was cold and cloudy but caught a good number of fish.
