If you're a Bass fishing fanatic and you want to absolutely make sure you'll get hooked up, look no further than Making Big Bass Memories. Your guide, Justin Makin, is so certain that you can catch fish that he guarantees it with a no fish – no pay policy. He specializes in putting families and kids on the best Bass fishing lakes in Central Florida where they can get a shot at some seriously giant fish.

The boat you'll be fishing from is a 20' Triton bass boat, powered by a 200 HP Evinrude engine. Capable of a top speed of well over 50 knots, this vessel will get you to all the spots you decide to visit without wasting any time. Equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, GPS and fish finding electronics, wireless trolling motor and live bait tank, the boat still has enough room to accommodate 3 anglers fishing at the same time.

Justin is a specialized guide and he only targets Largemouth Bass. This, however, doesn't mean that his trips are only for seasoned veterans. Novice anglers and kids all ages are also welcome. You'll be provided by top-notch Shimano rods and reels and any live bait you need will be bought before the trip and is always included in the price. You will need to bring a fishing license valid for the day of the trip.

Such a amazing and successful fishing day with kids and adults!
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on March 21, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Justin did an amazing job with our whole Family. He was so attentive and patient with our kids (12 & 10 y/o) and really made it super easy for everyone to be able to fish and catch fish today!!! Captian Justin is very knowledgeable and taught us all a few things about fishing and about the area. I was super stressed about our youngest catching a fish on our trip so I informed Captain Justin about how our boys are new to fishing and that our youngest hasn't caught a fish yet since he started fishing in November this year. Captain Justin went above and beyond to ensure he got a fish today, and he actually caught the most species of fish out of us all and caught 4 fish total !!! Captain Justin took us to multiple spots and spent the right amount of time at each one, this was key in making our trip so successful. His secret spots and time management made this trip so worth it. and made 4 hours feel easy, relaxing, and fun for us all!

Awseome Orlando Bass Fishing Trip
Half Day Trip on March 9, 20261 adult

If you’re thinking about booking a bass fishing charter in Orlando—do it! This trip exceeded all expectations. We caught 30+ bass throughout the day and the action was nonstop. On top of that, I landed a giant bowfin, plus a crappie and even a few chain pickerel, which made the day even more memorable. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, put us right on the fish, and made sure we were always in the best spots. He was patient, helpful, and clearly knows these waters inside and out. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, this charter is absolutely worth it. One of the best fishing trips I’ve had—highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Orlando!

he will put you on the fish
Half Day Trip on May 6, 20261 adult

If you wanna go fishing and catch fish the entire time your fishing, book a trip with Justin. He will put you right on top of the fish. My first fish was caught within 1 minute of hitting the water, and it was a large mouth bass that we weighed in just over 3lbs. I was an hour late to my trip, and Justin was understanding and waited for me. He is a laid back guy.He makes sure you’re catching fish, and spends his time baiting your hook, and baiting an extra pole for you. as your reeling in your catch! highly recommend this guide!

Great for beginners and kids!
Half Day Trip on May 24, 20261 adult1 child

We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain Justin. He was an incredibly knowledgeable guide with a very kind, calm, and relaxed approach that was perfect for me and my 11 year old son (both of us have only been fishing a handful of times). We caught many different kinds of fish (small mouth bass, long nosed gar, chain pickerel, crappie, bow fin, catfish) and more than 15 total in our 4 hour morning trip. The lake where we fished had bathrooms at the dock which was very convenient as welll!

Makin Big BASS Memories...AMAZING!!
Half Day Trip on May 7, 20262 adults1 child

We had an incredible time with Captain Justin!! He was so chill and laid back and got us hooked up with some fish! We had so much fun and my 12 year old caught 6 bass and my husband caught 7 fish of multiple varieties!! It was so much fun and we will definitely book again when we are back down in the area!! The boat was beautiful and clean and so very comfortable to relax and catch some sun rays and fish!! We cannot recommend highly enough and can't wait for our next adventure!!
