Wild Shiners:
Most trophy bass are caught on wild shiners. Most customers choose to use them when they fish Toho. Shiner prices are $20.00 a dozen. For a half-day, you will need 3 to 4 dozen shiners. On an extended half-day trip, you will need 4 to 5 dozen shiners. On a full-day trip, you will need about 6 dozen shiners.
Summer Guide Trips:
Summertime fishing is most productive during the morning hours. That's when the bass are very active. Around midday, the water temperatures are at their highest and the bass lose interest in feeding. So in summer, we only fish for four or six hours. We do not offer 8 hour trips until fall.

Please let us know if you will be staying in the Disney Resort, Route 192, or International Drive (I-Drive) area and need pick up and delivery on the day of your fishing trip.

We have a corporate contract with a local hotel in a major hotel chain that provides our customers with special rates. These rates are among the lowest in the area. Call us for details and to find out how you can make reservations.
