Captain Barron Cox is the owner and operator of Barron Cox Fishing. He welcomes you onto his native waters to spend the day basking in the beauty of Northern Florida and catching trophy Bass. With over 30 years of experience and a dedication to making every charter perfect, he is the ideal guide for getting the most out of these famous waters.

You will be fishing aboard a 20’ Charger bass boat which has plenty of room for two anglers to take on trophy fish in comfort. The vessel is equipped with a 200 HP Yamaha V-Max outboard to get you cruising across the lake at speed. It also has a Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor to let you stalk the shallows in silence on the search for trophy fish.

Largemouth Bass are an obsession for anglers all over the country and beyond. From the moment you hook your first Bass, you’ll know why. They punch way above their weight and never fall for the same trick twice. Luckily, Capt. Barron has a lifetime’s worth of tricks and a variety of fishing techniques to try on every trip.

You can choose between four and eight-hour charters whenever you visit. If you’re lucky enough to visit October-February, you can also head out on a special Fall Twilight or Pre-Spawn trip. These are Capt. Barron’s signature charters and you will catch some real monsters during either of these packages.

Whenever you come, you’re in for a fun day on a reliable boat with quality equipment and a skilled, local guide. Rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included, and you will be given plenty of snacks and drinks to keep you going. Just bring your fishing license and the desire to catch some huge fish!

Captain Barron Cox has loved Bass fishing since he landed his first Largemouth with his father when he was just a little kid. He grew up fishing the local lakes and always knew he wanted to work on the water. He now has three decades of charter experience under his belt and has competed extensively on the Pro Bass tournament circuit. As Capt. Barron would say "Welcome to my World. God Bless."
