Florida’s saltwater fishing may be the talk of the town but never underestimate the bountiful and exciting Bass fishing that the Sunshine state has to offer. Tide Flies Fishing Charters is keen on showing you just why dismissing Florida’s fresh waters is a mistake!

Captain Nick Halenkamp will be your friendly guide on this fishing journey. He’s been fishing the fresh waters of Florida since he was a little boy when his mother inspired him to become an angler. He knows where the hottest secret fishing spots for Bass are and he’ll gladly take you to them. He knows that keeping you happy requires more than just showing you to the best fishing spots and Capt. Nick prides himself on providing you with excellent customer service – he’ll clean and fillet your catch and will work very hard to make you as comfortable as possible.

You will fish from his 22’ flats boat, manufactured by the Aguasport company. She can comfortably hold you and your 3 best fishing buddies, without tangling lines. You can rely on Captain Nick to help you out with anything you need, from rigging your bait to giving you the best casting technique for the local Bass. You will fish three gorgeous lakes in this area: Lake Seminole, Lake Tarpon, and Alligator Lake.

The minimum age for children is 3 and above, the captain will provide you with all safety equipment. Tide Flies Fishing Charters supplies customers with quality equipment, just remember to bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a waterproof camera to capture your record catch.

Come on down and join Tide Flies Fishing Charters for an exciting freshwater fishing adventure in the heart of the Sunshine State!
