Let’s make some memories that last a lifetime! David Paycheck Fishing Charters is here to make your dreams become a reality!"
Let’s explore the famous Lake Tohopekaliga and many of the surrounding lakes in Orlando. The adventure starts when you board a 20’ Ranger boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bass boat is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine and easily reaches speeds of 60mph. Besides navigational and safety gear, there’s also a live bait tank. No matter what trip you choose, this boat will always provide a safe and reliable ride.
Your main targets for the day are Largemouth Bass and Crappie. Switch between different techniques, such as trolling, spinning, and jigging, and see which one works best for you. One thing is for sure, no matter what you catch, you’ll have a very tasty meal afterward. Feel free to bring your cooler and keep the fish fresh till you get back home.
Your captain will take care of all the fishing equipment you’ll need for the day. But you’re more than welcome to bring what rods and baits you’re comfortable fishing with. Don’t forget to purchase your freshwater fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day. Captain David will provide you with a yeti filled with ice, water, and some sodas. Let’s go have an absolutely amazing day on the water together!

2 Hour Trip – Special (AM)
David was an awesome guide. My wife and I had an absolute awesome time on our two hour charter. We caught close to 20 fish in that time to include bass, gar, and pike. We were questioning how the day would go because there just so happened to be a bass tournament going on and starting the same time we were. It was no issue for David. He took us right where we needed to be and in no time we were on fish. Not only did we have a great time, David was great about teaching and showing us how and why we were catching fish. David was all around great and we absolutely will be booking him again in the future when we come back to Orlando.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain David on Lake Toho, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, Captain David was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. Here's what made the trip so great: Expert Knowledge: Captain David knows Lake Toho like the back of his hand. He put us on the fish right away, and his understanding of the local ecosystem and fish behavior was impressive. He shared helpful tips and techniques throughout the trip, making it a learning experience as well. Top-Notch Equipment: The boat and equipment were in excellent condition. We had everything we needed for a successful day of fishing, and Captain David ensured everything ran smoothly. Great Personality: Captain David's positive attitude and enthusiasm made the trip even more enjoyable. He was patient with anglers of all skill levels and created a fun and relaxed atmosphere on board. Memorable Experience: Thanks to Captain David's expertise, we caught a good number of fish, including some impressive bass. It was a truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to fish on Lake Toho. Whether you're an experienced angler or a beginner, I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Captain David. You won't be disappointed!

3 Hour Trip
I recently did a 3 hour fishing trip with the Cap. I brought my 9 year old daughter (who has never fished) and 12 year old son. The Cap was extremely hands-on and positive with the kids - basically teaching my daughter how to catch a fish. In 3 hours, we caught 30+ fish. Full disclosure: My daughter didn't want to come on the trip, but by the end of the experience she was asking if we could book with Cap again next year. I would rate the experience (including cost and everything) a 10/10. It was a magical 3 hours with my 2 kids. Cap was amazing.

David is very knowledgeable about lake structure and fish feeding patterns. He took us to the spots for multi-species fishing. He fine-tuned our casting and retrieving techniques and put us on some big catches. Would definitely recommend. 5/5 stars

David gave our family a trip we will not forget. He is head and shoulders above every charter we have ever used. We caught the some of the biggest BASS I have ever laid my eyes on. The fish just kept coming in the boat. We caught over 20 fish collectively in a little over 2 hours. When you want the best charter in central Florida the only choice is Paycheck fishing charters. From professionalism to pleasantries to knowing how to put us on the fish David is in a class by himself. Great job captain and please hold a spot for my family in March!!!
