When people think of fishing in Florida, their minds often wander to the Gulf of Mexico or the Everglades. Yet inland in Central Florida lies some of the best Bass fishing the state offers. Captain Bill and Team aim to share his passion for fishing in this beautiful destination, the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. You have endless options to explore what Florida offers, and he would love to be your guide and show you around.
He’ll show you around on a boat perfect for lake fishing. His Ranger bass boat that’s powered by a Yamaha engine. It’s small, lightweight, trustworthy, and the for the type of fishing you’re going for, it ticks all of the boxes and even ticks the box of having an onboard ice box for your drinks.
Largemouth Bass will be your primary target fish. It’s great fun to catch and it makes for a tasty meal afterward. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get to enjoy some Crappie alongside on your dinner plate.
Captain Bill shall provide you with Penn rods and Abu Garcia reels, a perfect light tackle for the spinning you’ll get up to. He mainly fishes using lures, but live bait can be provided upon request. Water is provided so take something else if you prefer and some snacks. You’ll need to book your Florida fishing license before you join him, which you can sort out online.
Captain Bill deeply loves this area, fishing and providing a great customer experience. In his own words: "I strive to put you on quality fish all trip long and will work hard at showing you the best experience possible."
