Orlando Florida is truly a wonderful place to visit, so come and experience it with Captain Tom Carver and his crew. We strive to make your day on the water a successful one, while providing outstanding service with a smile.

The Lagoon starts at the northern end known as Ponce Inlet and makes its way south to Merritt Island. The 20 plus miles of shallow flats averages between 1–6 feet of saltwater. This estuary gives life to many special creatures including the Florida Manatee and Bottlenose Dolphin. Kids love seeing the creatures freely swimming around the boat as we fish the flats. However, the common Stingray seems to amaze them the most.

This crew targets Redfish more than any other species due to the popularity and the amazing fight that they put up when caught on light tackle. Other possible catches are Snook, Tarpon, or Speckled Trout.

You’ll fish from a 22 foot Cobia bay boat. This vessel rides smoothly through shallow waters and she’s powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine. The captain will make sure there’s everything you need for fishing onboard, so you only need to bring your snacks and drinks.

Your fish will be cleaned after the trip, so let that tasty lunch be the extra motivation for better fishing and simple ask the crew of Marker 24 riverside grille to cook it up for you. Orlando Fishing Guides will definitely do their best to make your fishing ambition come true.
