Lake Tarpon in Palm HarborΒ
On the ink and side of Palm Harbor lies Lake Tarpon, a peaceful retreat for you to get some fishing done. Captain Bill Goudy Jr is ready to show you the waters that he loves so well and to catch some fish with you.
He welcomes you to join him on his 18' Ranger 185vs bass boat. It was originally built in 2003 and is powered by a 175 HP Yamaha engine. It's the ideal craft for some casual fishing out on the lake given its short size and ability to play host to a small, amicable group of people.
Largemouth Bass is the name of the game when you go fishing with Captain Bill. It's his favorite fish to catch and they pose a fun challenge for all ages and levels of ability. Additionally, you may find yourself reeling in a couple of Crappie when you're out with him.
He has some great fishing gear for a spot of spinning including Penn rods and Abu Garcia reels. He'll also supply you with bottled water that's kept chilled in his cooler. There's more space in that cooler for you to fit in some of your own drinks and some snacks too. You'll need to purchase a fishing license before you embark on this trip which you can do online. Be sure to take some sunglasses and sunscreen for this trip as the sun down in Florida gets really hot.
For a truly relaxing trip chasing after some Largemouth Bass, get yourself booked on this excellent lake fishing trip.

Captain Lenny was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable about the local waters, and an expert fishermen. He was patient with our novice group. We caught plenty of fish, and our teenager was happy with the fish pictures he got to show his friends. It was great having everything provided so we didn't have to worry about packing gear. We would highly recommend Captain Lenny!

Hello, I am Captain Bill and a licensed master captain. Originally born in Iowa and raised on the Mississippi River. I've been fishing ever since I was a little kid. I caught the Bass fishing bug early in life. When I was younger, I found an old Johnson spoon in my father's tackle box, tied it on, and caught a Bass. Instantly hooked on fishing, my pursuit of a career in it was inevitable. Living on the river where his family owned a campground and bait shop, he has been putting people on fish for years. He has been married for 21 years and is a father of 4 and grandfather of 1. He heard about Headwaters Lake being open, so he moved to Florida to pursue his dream of being the first full-time fishing guide on Headwaters and now has a team of guides that work with him. Captain Bill and the team will help get you experience Headwaters and Stick Marsh like no other, producing beautiful trophy Largemouth Bass all day long. Also, enjoy fishing Winter Haven Chain of Lakes and the surrounding Central Florida Bass fisheries are his kingdom! Don't look any further, choose the sure thing by clicking the book now button now. Let's go catch some trophies that the others only talk about!
