Central Florida Outdoors
With Central Florida Outdoors, even moments can last for a lifetime. Captain Thomas is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and passing it on to other anglers. As he’s been fishing in the area his entire life, rest assured you’ll be in good hands.
You’ll fish aboard the captain’s 23’ Carolina Skiff. She accommodates up to 6 guests and the whole group can fish at the same time. With all navigational and safety equipment, she features everything you need for a successful day on the lake. There’s a cooler for snacks but feel free to bring your own if it’s small.
Largemouth Bass is the most sought-after game fish in freshwater and it’s your turn to experience what it’s all about! And let’s not forget Hybrid, which is some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish in central Florida.
After the trip, you can keep your catch or release it.
Kids are welcome as well, so this can easily be an adventure for the whole family. You can purchase your fishing license online or at certain stores. Your fishing equipment is covered, so you just need to bring drinks, snacks, and sunglasses.
Florida fishing is not all about the Gulf or the Atlantic. Visit Lake Harris and experience something different with Central Florida Outdoors.

Capt Tom, thank you so much for the guided tour. Top class service with over 31 fish caught. Largest was 8.5lbs Bass. If your in any doubt when booking then look no further. We had live bait which is the only way to go. To compare with other fishing firm we did last year Tom caught more live bait whilst we fished so we used the full time. Even took us on a boat ride !!! We will be using Tom again Cheers mate

5hr trip with Thomas Goodman
Captain was on time, equipment was good. Did not seem friendly over the phone but as we got to know each other he was very easy to get along with. He knew what he was doing and knew where the fish were. We were after bass and striper hybrids. We caught at least 40 bass and 20 hybrids all caught on minnows. He let us do most the fishing as he rarely fished. We had a great and very friendly trip. Highly recommend Tom.

5 hour afternoon trip with captain Thomas!
Thomas was so great with us and our kids! My husband is an experienced fisherman- but he even said this was the best day of fishing he has ever had! Captain Thomas was patient and helpful with the kids! He gave them unlimited opportunity that they capitalized on to catch fish after fish!

Father son vacation, First time on the lake fishing….Amazing!!!
What an Amazing experience!! This was both of our first time out on the lake fishing. Thomas set us up with Captin Adam. The Captin knew exactly where to go to catch the fish. We showed up 40 mins late to our 6pm private tour. I wouldn’t suggest you do that, but Captin Adam waited on us and was very patient and helpful. We stayed out two hours and caught 8 fish. A newbie at fishing, so I’m use to fishing 2 or 3 hours and not catching anything! So this was a great experience!!
