Captain Pete Rapps has provided me with some of the best fishing experiences over my 25 year fishing career. He has the keen ability of understanding tides, weather conditions, water temperature and time of year that in turn allows him to understand fish patterns.  This allows him to locate fish quickly and consistently.  Capt Rapps is a great teacher, this includes; fishing technique, knot tying, bait selection, bait presentation, hook setting technique and fish fighting technique.  I have always walked away from a Capt Rapps fishing trip with gained knowledge.

I have personally been on Capt Rapps boat when we have caught numerous species of fish to include; snook, redfish, tarpon, jewfish, pompano, mangrove snapper, cobia, spotted trout, triple tail and shark.  I have had numerous 50+ fish outings with him!!!

I have included a few other qualities that I find to be important when deciding on a guide.

•    Utmost confidence in providing a SAFE fishing experience.
•    Knowledge of waters (Everglades National Park) is unprecedented.
•    Has the ability to focus on a single species of fish.
•    Skilled at locating and capturing live bait.  
•    Great personality that caters to all skill levels of anglers.

I can attest first hand to Capt Rapps guide abilities.  He is an all around excellent angler that I would strongly recommend to all.
