Can we keep our fish?
Can we bring our own
equipment?
Sure, We have no problem with you bringing what you are
comfortable fishing with. We prefer you use ours, it is already rigged
for the style of fishing we will be doing for your trip. We do ask that
you limit yourself to just two rods, and tackle. We will help you in
preparing for artificial by advising you of the lures we use in
conditions prior to your fishing trip.
To help assure you our
client a prosperous day of catching Florida Bass we recommend using live bait called
the Golden Shad that are 5" to 8" in size. Florida Bass fishing is no
different than your lakes other than they grow faster and larger in warn
Florida lakes. Live Bait or Golden Shiner's as well as bluegill fills
that food chain.
And as you Florida fishing
guide's will testify. Schoolies we crank and chug . Bedding we flip.
Prespawn we crank/ flip/ and worm. What we offer is a lot of fun fishing
for Florida bass in Orlando. Saltwater Fishing on the east and west
coast. We offer both Live and Artificial as well as fly-fishing hand
tied.
If you are a first
time fisherman, we will instruct you in the art of casting both
Bait-casting reels and Spin-Casting reels as well as Fly Rods. It is our
pleasure to teach those the art of fishing.

Can we keep our fish?
We are a catch and release guide service. If you catch a Florida Trophy
Bass and you
would like to have mounted, we have a taxidermist who can do a skin
mount or a replica mount, and ship it to you when it is completed. We
believe in catch and release, because today's fish is tomorrows Trophy.
You can keep the Crappie or Brim caught during your trips for
these fish. Some bass under 3 lbs are acceptable if you desire. Remember
Crappie Fishing during spawn in Feb thru march, is fantastic with limits
25 per person of 12 to
15 inch crappie. Brim and Shell-cracker fishing in May thru July
is awesome, with most as big as 3/4 to a lb each.
