CAPT KEN BIO
Discover the hidden wonders of the Rodman Reservoir with Capt Kenneth Walker, and get ready for an incredible true trophy bass fishing experience! Your guide for the day, Capt Ken, is a trophy hunter with local knowledge with over 20 years of experience, fishing throughout this area of North Florida. His clients describe him as “mister dependable” who enjoys having people aboard.
Capt Ken is extremely knowledgeable about spawning and feeding patterns, as well as which seasons produce the best and biggest fish. After fishing for so long, understanding these waters has become second nature to him. There’s nothing that makes Capt Ken happier than transferring that passion to new anglers and having them hook their first big trophy bass.
You’ll depart from the banks of Rodman Reservoir on his 21’ Mako boat. Her shallow draft makes her perfect for planing skinny and stumpy waters, giving you an ideal bass fishing experience. She’s equipped with a fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, top-quality fishing gear, a live well, lures, spinning reels, and bait casters. Each trip accommodates up to 4 guests and can fish at the same time without tangling lines.
Your main target is trophy largemouth bass, but Capt Ken loves to fish for Cappie as well. Both are extremely popular due to their good game qualities and are fun to catch for anglers of all ages and levels of experience. Make sure you bring a camera along because a fish of a lifetime is exactly that! Perhaps one of the most beautiful and interesting bodies of water in Florida, with great scenery and outstanding wildlife!
If you enjoy live baiting, you can buy fresh wild shiners before the trip. Just be sure to pack some snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and light clothing, and get ready to fish the famed Rodman Reservoir with Capt Kenneth Walker!
All you need to do is grab your FL fishing license, and get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime!

Hello "Mr. BIG!"....TIMES TWO!!
★★★★★
“ This was my 3rd and 4th charter with Captain Ken, however, this was my 1st two-day, back-to-back charter. What made this charter extra special is taking my grandson, (that flew in from Virginia,) and introducing him to Bass Fishing. As usual, Captain Ken put us on the bite right away. Jason, (my grandson) stayed busy once he understood the guidance from Ken and began landing good numbers unassisted in the 3–5-pound range. Then he latched into a lunker that weighed in at 9lbs. 3ozs! (My personal best is 8lbs. 1oz.) We fished from 0700 until 1300 and called it a day. Returned the next day and picked up where we left off with one notable exception. Jason landed an 11lbs. 3oz "Behemoth!" To say we were overjoyed with the charter is an understatement. My grandson will be spoiled for life because this kind of success isn't normal for a novice fisherman; it is however standard operating procedure for our guide, Captain Ken Walker. As stated in my previous review, Ken Walker is the "MAN" and I cannot recommend him highly enough! (This is where I drop the microphone!)”

Trip of a Lifetime
★★★★★
“ I’ve fished for bass since I was a kid and I have never caught fish like I did on this trip with Captain Ken. He knows how to put you on the fish. We caught 19 bass, most were 4-8 lbs and four were trophies. We ended the day with a 12 lb 10 oz monster, doubling my person best. This was my best day in 30 years on the water. Book Ken for your best chance at trophy largemouth.”

Hot summer day with Capt Ken Walker
★★★★★
“ Had a trip to Fl and decided to fish on June 21st knowing in the heat of summer Capt Ken moved around until he found the spot. Caught several bass with the largest being 6-8 and 7-5 fished until the heat of the day started to climb and the bite slowed and called it a day. I am 72 and fished all my life and still fish often. Capt Ken is very friendly and professionable. Will plan a trip with him this winter or spring for sure”

Trophy Bass trip
★★★★★
“ I took my son-in-law on a Bass trip with Captain Ken Walker April 1st. Ken was outstanding and taught us the techniques needed to land giant Bass. We caught 21 bass and 5 of them were over 8 lbs 3 at 7 lbs and some 6 and 5 pounders. That was the best experience we've ever had and would highly recommend this to anyone who loves to fish. We are definitely going again with Ken. Thanks Captain!!”

The bite was awesome!
★★★★★
“ This was the 2nd charter I've booked with Captain Ken Walker; my 1st was 11/16/2021 and the conditions was adverse. Although it was windy as the Dickins, the trip today was an exceptional charter!! We boated so many Bass in the 1.5 to 3 pound range we lost count. We boated three in the 5 lbs. range and one 6 lbs. 12 ozs. beauty. The icing on the cake was the 8 lbs. 1 ozs. trophy that equaled my personal best. I'm 100% certain had I booked six hours instead of four, I'd beat my personal best today. I've fished with Ken twice, once under adverse conditions and once, today in very windy conditions. Both charters were successful. Captain Ken knows this body of water and will absolutely put you on the bite. Excellent Guide and a darned nice guy!”

Exceeded My Most Optimistic Expectations
★★★★★
“ I first heard about Rodman 40 years ago and it had always been a place I dreamed of fishing. After speaking with a friend who had fished with Ken Walker many times, I gave him a call and ended up booking 4 full days with him in mid March. I’m an experienced fisherman and have bass fished all over the country. My largest bass to date had been 8 Lbs 3 oz and I told Ken I wanted something bigger. Given the time of year and the amount of time we had, Ken felt confident that we could do it! I meet Ken at the dock on the first morning and in a matter of minutes, I was confident that I had picked the right guy. His gear was well maintained having spent a career on the water in the USCG, I could see immediately that he knew how to handle a boat. We were fishing in no time and almost immediately, I was catching fish. The technique Ken used with the live shiners was a bit of an adjustment, given that I fish almost exclusively with artificial lures, but he was patient and I soon had the hang of things. To say that I had a good experience would be a tremendous understatement! I caught a new personal best before 10 AM on the first day and we were off to the races! In 4 days with Ken, I caught three 8 pounders, three 9 pounders, one that went 10.4, and about 2 dozen 6 and 7 pounders! All of which were released, unharmed back in to the lake. I put approximately 20 fish in the boat each day. From my point of view, it just doesn’t get much better than that! I would highly recommend that anyone interested in catching big bass, should contact Ken and discuss their desires. He clearly knows his business and is a skilled guide and fisherman. Couple that with the fact that he’s a good guy to share a boat with and I think you have an unbeatable combination. I won’t suggest that everyone will have the success that I was blessed with, but you won’t know if you don’t try! I will certainly be back!”

Excellent fishing day.
★★★★★
“ We had a Father&Son fishing day (1/6/22) at Rodman Reservoir with Captain Ken Walker and ended being one of the best fishing days I have ever been. Capt. Ken knew exactly where to take us and the results turned out to be a lot more than expected. Professional service and excellent work. We will do Rodman with Capt. Ken when in Florida. We fully recommend it to anyone looking for a great fishing experience... and results!”

December Fishing Trip
★★★★★
“ When my in-laws moved to Florida last fall, I started planning a fishing trip for our visit at Christmas. I've heard about Rodman Reservoir for years and really wanted to fish it. I found Captain Ken online and booked a 6 hour trip for my wife and I. Needless to say, my wife is now hooked on bass fishing. Captain Ken put us on fish from start to finish and together we landed 21 fish. Ken was very knowledgeable and patient. It felt like we were out fishing with an old friend. We will be fishing with Ken from now on when we come to Florida!”

The weather was against us.
★★★★★
“ Arrived 30 minutes early and the guide, Captain Ken was already there with the boat launched. Weather didn't do us any favors, it was chilly in the low 40's; for Florida, that's COLD. The bite was slow. Over six hours we boated eight Large Mouths the largest being a five pounder. For the most part female fish, very strong and healthy. We did however hook up and break off at least five or six more. (As a bonus we boated a nice Chain Pickerel.) Ken Walker was a 1st rate guide. By all reasonable expectations, the weather conditions should have guaranteed a lousy outing. Not at all, the bite was slow but we were on fish and lost several big ones. Ken knew this reservoir like the back of his hand. I'd recommend Ken Walker any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'll be returning for the spring time spawn. You'll not find a better guide at any price.”

Very knowledgeable
★★★★★
“ Went bass fishing on Rodman Reservoir. Ken took us to one of his hot spots and after the first cast I hooked a 3 pound bass within 5 minutes. Unfortunately that was the only bass of the day but we caught several, i think he called the "bowfin"? Ken was very knowledgeable about the reservoir and where and how to fish for bass.”

Rodman Fishing With Captain Ken Walker
★★★★★
“ This was our first visit to Rodman and Captain Ken Walker made sure we would not forget it. My son caught one that weighed 10.25 pounds and one that weighed about 7.5 pounds! Most of the other bass were in the 4-7 pound category. Just a great day of fishing. Ken is very knowledgeable and a great delight to talk to. I hope to return soon, and Ken is who I will contact again.”

My son loves to fish and he had the best time fishing with Captain Ken!!! He’s eleven and Captain Ken was patient and really took the time to teach him about fishing. My son was so excited about being able to catch 12 fish while only out on the boat a short period of time. If you want to go fishing or take your family, I highly recommend Captain Ken!!! You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you again Captain Ken for making my son and husband fishing trip a great one we will cherish!!!!

Rodman Rampage
★★★★★
“ I finally had a chance to go out on Rodman reservoir after fishing in northern Florida for several years. A special thank you to Captain Ken Walker for rearranging his schedule to match up with my recent trip to the area. Several days before my trip Captain Walker contacted me to get a general feel for what my experience was and what I was looking for in this trip. I let him know that I had been coming to the area for several years to fish but had never fished on Rodman reservoir. He asked about the biggest fish I had caught while in this area. I told him that my largest fish was 7.6 pounds. I met Captain Walker on the day of the trip and he told me that he had a great spot picked out and that we would have a good day. At this point I must tell you we didn't really have a good day we actually had a GREAT day!! Within the first 20 minutes on location my personal best was in the rearview mirror and we would continue to catch fish that topped that for the remainder of the day. Not sure that I really recall the total number of fish caught during the day but I can definitely say that I will not forget the 8.2 lb, 9.3 lb, and 10.0 lb fish that I brought in while with Captain Walker. Can't say enough about Captain Walker, I am VERY happy he was able to get me in for an unforgettable trip to Rodman reservoir.”

Captain Ken Walker!
★★★★★
“ I took my son on an eight hour trip with Captain Ken Walker on Rodman Reservoir on my son’s 14th birthday. I had seen pics of huge bass that had been caught on that lake and had seen great reviews for Captain Ken Walker, so I had really big hopes for us. Captain Ken exceeded my hopes and expectations. We started catching fish within the first 20 minutes of fishing. Within the first 30 minutes of fishing my son landed a huge 9 lbs. 13 oz. trophy bass! From then on we never went more than 20 minutes without catching a fish. I landed an 8 lbs. 7 oz. and then an 8 lbs. 12 oz. bass by noon! That’s 3 trophies in less than 5 hours in the boat! We caught 7 different species of fish and they were all big and fun to catch. Ken is both a great guide and a gentleman as well. He greatly exceeded my wishes and desires. He was very helpful and patient with us. I can’t wait to get back to Rodman to fish again and when I do there is only one person that I want to fish with - Captain Ken Walker!”

Rodman Reservoir with Ken Walker
★★★★★
“ Our guide on Rodman Reservoir was Ken Walker and the day was fantastic. My wife and I both caught Florida largemouth bass weighing more than 10 pounds. Ken is friendly, professional, and has multiple places to fish on Rodman (our two largest bass came from different locations on the lake). He is a good instructor and willingly shares his knowledge on how to fish (and most importantly catch fish) with wild shiners. Ken will be our guide of choice when we return to fish Rodman.”
