Bass galore I am new to bass fishing, we live just down the street from the lake. My daughter and I go out in a small john boat 2-3 times a week for an hour or so. A slow day is 1 fish each. Often we land 3 or 4 good sized bass at sunset. Lots of fun.

This fishing charter exceeded all expectations. It was well-organized, safe, and incredibly fun. We were put right on the fish and had action nearly the entire time. The guide shared great tips and local knowledge throughout the trip. I’ve been telling all my friends about it and will definitely be back for round two.

Can’t say enough good things about this charter! From the moment we got on the boat, everything was smooth sailing. The crew was organized and clearly experienced. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a rod in hand as soon as we reached the first spot. Caught a variety of fish and learned a ton. Best day on the water in years!

We were on fish almost instantly. The guide had us in the right spot and knew exactly what gear to use. His confidence was reassuring, and it made the day flow smoothly. I appreciated how engaged he was throughout—he wasn’t just driving the boat, he was actively part of our success. One of the most satisfying charters I’ve done.

Capt Eric was on time had in places I can't imagine why we did catch fish.. we saw plenty but was more of a fishing day today than catching. Even with fish in the area and shiners, the fish didn't cooperate. Eric was great and we had a good time.

My son’s (21 and 18) went out with Captain Strong on Lake Tohopekaliga. They both got off the boat and told me they could not have had a better captain and would not want to go out with anyone else next time we are in area. Says all I need to know about their experience. We have fished Miami with Captain Miley. Great experience down there as well. I want to thank Captain Strong and iOutdoor Adventures for helping create life long memories for the boys ! We could not be more satisfied.
