Book This TripAll trips run year-round. Food, drinks, sunscreen, and Florida fishing license not included — everything else is.
Bass and panfish all season.
Largemouth Bass
The headliner. Trophy-class fish on the St. Johns, Rodman, Orange, Lochloosa, and Santa Fe.
Bluegill
Hard fighters per inch. Steady action through the warmer months — perfect for kids.
Redear (Shellcracker)
Big sunfish that pull harder than they should. Best in spring around the spawn beds.
Black Crappie ("Specks")
Tasty and aggressive. Fall and winter are prime — easy days with a full cooler.
Warmouth & Redbreast
Bonus panfish that show up steady all year — a fun mixed bag on artificials.
Spotted Sunfish
Native to Florida's flowing waters. Common on the St. Johns and Santa Fe runs.
Five fisheries. One captain.
St. Johns River
Florida's longest river. Slow, tannic, and loaded with mature largemouth — especially in the spawn.
Rodman Reservoir
The trophy factory. World-class bass water that Chuck has fished since the day it was first impounded.
Orange Lake
Vegetation-rich shallow lake. Frog fishing, flipping mats, and big topwater bites in the right window.
Lochloosa Lake
Connected to Orange via the cross creek. A quieter alternative when Orange is being hammered.
Lake Santa Fe
A clear, weed-lined lake just west of Gainesville. A fun change of scenery when conditions push us off the river systems.
Where The Bite Is
We pick the water based on conditions, not convenience. Whichever fishery is firing — that's where we go.
We supply the gear.
Rods & Reels
Quality bass tackle — including some of Chuck's own custom-built rods.
Tackle & Bait
Whatever's working that day — we'll have it in the box.
Boat & Electronics
Yamaha-powered, Power-Pole anchored, Humminbird and Minn Kota rigged.
Captain's Knowledge
Decades of experience on these specific waters — this is what you're paying for.
Photos Of The Day
We'll grab pictures of every fish worth showing your friends back home.
A Patient Guide
No yelling. No pressure. Just a good day on the water — that's the promise.
Food. Drinks. Sunscreen.
FL Fishing License
Required for anyone 16+. Easy to grab online from FWC before your trip.
Snacks & Drinks
Bring a small cooler. We're on the water for hours — pack accordingly.
Sun Protection
Hat, sunscreen, polarized shades. Florida sun is no joke, even in winter.
