    Great day

    6 Hour Trip on January 31, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brian is an excellent captain and super nice guy. He was quick to communicate pre trip answering our questions and very instructional during the fishing trip. Out of the gate we hit a hot spot and caught fish immediately. Later in the day we hit other spots and caught a variety of fish. Overall we caught over 30 fish. It was a lot of fun and something I'll do again.

    We’re Hooked!

    3 Hour (Beat the heat) on October 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    We have just moved to the area and had seen so many people fishing so wanted to give it a try to see if we could learn the basics and see if it was something we’d enjoy. We had SUCH a great morning! The time flew by - so pleased we opted for the 3hr session. Rigt away we were fishing….We caught peacock & large mouth bass, crappie, clown featherback and an atlantic needlefish and learnt so much along the way. Captain Brian was super knowledgable and guided us as first timers at every step. Genuinely couldn’t recommend this trip more! - Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Unforgettable Day on Lake Ida with Operationtek Fishing Charters!

    Half Day Trip on May 18, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    From start to finish, our experience with Operationtek Fishing Charters was nothing short of exceptional. Captain Brian is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about what he does—and it shows. He knew exactly where to go on Lake Ida to find the fish, and within minutes we were reeling in peacock bass, largemouth, and even clown knife fish! The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear, making it easy for both beginners and experienced anglers to enjoy the trip. Brian was patient, professional, and full of great stories that kept the energy high the entire day. Whether you’re looking to catch your personal best or just want a peaceful day on the water surrounded by Lake Ida’s natural beauty, Operationtek is the charter to book. I can’t recommend them enough—we’re already planning our next trip!

    Definitely worth booking

    Half Day Trip on August 4, 2025 • 2 adults

    I definitely recommend booking with this charter. We caught six species, he is willing to do all the work for you if you please. Baiting your hooks, netting the fish, even taking them off and releasing them if your someone who doesn't want to touch anything. He will do his best to keep consistent action, if it slows down he moves to find fish. If your looking for a nice inland lake/canals fishing trip, this is your guy. No complaints on my end.
