Fishing Guides Ocala Florida Reviews

Outstanding trip!

North Florida Guides
★★★★★
My husband and I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Scott on beautiful Rodman Reservoir. We enjoyed the incredible scenery and caught several large bass each. Captain Scott was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us while we fished. He took the time to point out the local wildlife (Bald Eagles and alligators) and ensured we had plenty of opportunity to soak up the surroundings. I highly recommend Captain Scott, and should we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely book another trip with him.

one of the best crappie fishing experiences I've had in a long time. David is a good guide and teacher if you want to learn something new. I would use him again to do another charter.
