Great Place and Lake

Lake Apopka

This place is a well hidden secret. A huge variety of fish, birds, bunnies and not to forget big bass and lots of alligators in every size can be seen. No fences in their natural habitat.

Super Captain Michael is Perfect

Kissimmee
★★★★★
The trip was amazing, Super Captain Michael got all the bait we needed on short notice. He knew all the good places on the lake with beautiful views. He was Incredibly sociable and nice to talk to, made the slower moments of the trip a blast with fun conversation. The boat was a beautiful well kept vessel and he even had amazing equipment. 10/10 would absolutely book again, and request another charter from Super Captain Michael when I'm back in Florida.

Lake Henderson

Henderson Lake
★★☆☆☆
I think the problem with the lake is the weed removal boat needs to go down deeper and have some gravel or sand for the bass to be able to spawn you got 6 feet of weeds on the bottom it’s choking. The lake weeds are good to appoint, but the fish have to be able to make a bed.
- John Bethel

Great Day

We had a great day on Okeechobee with Captain Justin. We threw artificials in the morning and afternoon. When the fishing hit a lull midday Captain Justin took us to a little honey hole where we hammered them with shiners. Captain Justin took great care of us all day and was just a helluva nice guy to fish with. Highly recommend a day on the lake him!!

Headwaters

Fellsmere
★★★★★
Enjoyed fishing with Paul today. Bud & I fished 6 hrs with Paul today at Headwaters. 27 fish on a day after a cold front with bluebird skies and a cold north wind. Not ideal conditions. An excellent day. Very knowledgeable about fishing conditions, lake history and the bite. Good equipment, safe boat handling skills and a steward of others, a respect for a very valuable resource - the lake itself. Hire Paul for your next trip.

Great Guide

Brad Leifermann
★★★★★
I suspect one of Brad’s stranger charters, but left me hoping to fish with him again. Our full day we already expected to be shortened by weather and that was confirmed when for the first time in my 80 years, I fell in the lake. Balance goes downhill as we age apparently and due to Ranger’s and Mercury’s dedication to streamlining, not much to grab onto as you go into the water. As a dedicated fisherman I hung onto the rod and reel and always looking for information about L. Apopka. one of Brad’s first questions was: “What’s the bottom like?”. I reported firm and Sandy. The purpose of our trip was partly due to Brad being a native Minnesotan, who my 17 yr old grandson and I were familiar with from his tournament record back home. After spending 8 hours killing $125 worth of Golden Shiners the previous day on Rodman Reservoir (4 bass) we were enormously relieved when he told us first thing that we would NOT be fishing live bait. He provides a great boat and great equipment and is very personable everything you want ifor a great experience on the water. I highly recommend Capt Brad Leiferman
- John Nelson

Excellent Guide

Scott England
★★★★★
It was a cool wet day with Scott on Rodman. He did a great job keeping us in fresh bait and searching for fish. Being capable of good conversation is vital on days like this Scott had plenty of info on the history and makeup of Rodman. There weren’t many bass for us but some “quality” gar and mudfish (Bowfin/ Dogfish) kept us alert. Warning: Be prepared for sticker shock at the end of your day. We added $125 to our bill for live bait. I recommend Capt Scott if you are looking for a chance to catch a trophy on Rodman Res..

Of course we caught fish. And yes they were huge. But that's not the only thing Ken does right. Ken is an absolute delightful person to spend the day with. He's incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and has a great story to share on any subject.

Best Captain

Harris Chain
★★★★★
Great fishing day. Got many bass and had an amazing time. The captain was the best and he took as to spots that got us many fishes. Totally recommended!
- Andy

The best!

Richard Hernandez
★★★★★
Booked a trip with captain Richard Hernandez and had an amazing day. I've been a captain myself for 35 plus years so I expect certain things out of a captain. Rick did not disappoint, explained what we'd be doing and was very personable. We caught a pile of Peacock, a couple of largemouth and my buddy was lucky enough to land a Clown Knife fish. Would highly recommend Captain Rick to anyone looking for a Florida adventure.

Capt. Steve Spatafora

Steve Spatafora
★★★★★
Once again I had an awesome fishing trip with Capt. Steve on Headwaters Lake. This was my 5th trip out with Capt Steve and like the other 4, it was fully up to the high expectations he had set. I have taken out my wife, my friends, and my father and he has been very accommodating to all! It was not an easy fishing day, being in south Florida during a cold front, but we made it happen with 23 boated fish, including multiple 3-4 pounders and a 7lb8oz hog of a largemouth. Nothing but the highest recommendations for Capt. Steve and the time you will have when you book with him!

Captain Mark Rose Naples Florida

Naples

My family went out with Mark Rose in Naples Florida to try to catch some Peacock bass. It’s been on the bucket list for awhile now. We flat got on’em and Captain Mark was awesome. My wife and son had an absolute blast. We will book again when back in Florida. If you are in the Naples area or Lake Okeechobee give Mark a call. You won’t regret it!

A sure bet!

Steve Spatafora
★★★★★
I've fished with Capt. Steve a few times. There are plenty of captains to choose from, but when you got the best, use the best. I always reserve Capt. Steve. He is dedicated, knowledgeable, and has a fun filled spirit. If you want results, choose Capt. Steve. We were in harsh conditions today to say the least. Cold! Rain for four+ hours. Wind! And we still landed 32 good fish! (We missed a couple hook sets, or the number could have been bigger).
