I still have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming! I will most definitely be giving Jamie a call again the next time I can make it to central Florida. Tracy Goff |

Testimonial ~ Captain Jackson:
I just returned home from a three day trip fishing on Lake Jackson with my dad, my son, and my nephews. Jamie, Glen, Dumas, and Russ were all fantastic. They were all very knowledgeable, experienced, courteous, and very professional and their primary objective from the start was to put us on fish and provide us with a positive experience for our trip. The fishing was phenomenal! I’ve never experienced anything like it! The five of us boated 250-300 bass in three days fishing 4-5 hours each day and the day I spent in Jamie’s boat with my dad and my son was a once in a lifetime experience! We caught 80-90 bass with 20-30 in the 3-6 lb range and topped it off with my 13 lb 8 oz monster and then 30 minutes later my dad’s 12 lb 6 oz lunker!

Wild Shiners:
Most trophy bass are caught on wild shiners. Most customers choose to use them when they fish Toho. Shiner prices are $18.00 to $22.00 a doz. depending on availability and demand of wild shiners.. 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. The cost of roundtrip transportation is $75.00 and we will need to know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Please bring whatever you would like to eat with you. Many hotels will pack a bag lunch for you if you make arrangements in advance. We will supply soda and ice, if there is something else you would like to drink, please bring it with you.
Discounted Rates for Lodging:
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.
