Amazing Day on the Water – Highly Recommend David Paycheck!
3 Hour Trip on May 2, 20262 adults

We had an absolutely fantastic day fishing with David Paycheck! From the moment we met him, he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to spend the day with. He clearly knows what he’s doing and made the entire trip enjoyable and relaxed. Best of all—we caught a lot of fish! David put us right where the fish were and kept things moving so we always had lines in the water. His knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude really made the trip special. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience with someone who truly enjoys what he does, I highly recommend booking a trip with David. We had a great time and would definitely go out with him again!

Highly recommend David for anyone looking to fish the Orlando area!
3 Hour Trip on December 29, 2025

I organized a trip for my mom, brother, and nephew while we were in town over the holidays. Given the size of our group and my mom’s mobility needs, David went above and beyond by rigging his pontoon so we could all fish comfortably. I was also stubborn and insisted on fishing artificial only, and David happily accommodated—bringing out his old tournament rods for me to use, including some St. Croix Legends. We all had a great time catching fish, and David was incredibly attentive and helpful with my family, from baiting hooks to casting and landing fish. An excellent experience all around.

Fishing with David
6 Hour Trip on November 11, 2025

I had an awesome experience with David Paycheck Fishing Guide Service! From start to finish, everything was super smooth and enjoyable. David was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun—perfect for both beginners and experienced fishermen. He knew exactly where to go, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The boat was clean and well-kept, the equipment was great, and the overall vibe was relaxed but professional. We caught some great fish and made even better memories. If you’re looking for a friendly, reliable, and skilled fishing guide in Orlando, this is definitely the one to book. I’d 100% go again!

Great family friendly trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 12, 20262 adults2 children

We had a great time fishing with David the other day! He was great with our kids and got us on fish even with the wind kicking up. Everyone caught fish including a handful of chain pickerel and a few nice bass. Highly recommend David for a fun family trip, we took a pontoon out since we had our 6 and 9 year old kids with us, which was the right choice since it gave them room to spread out.

Tough to Beat!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 26, 20262 adults1 child

Captain Dave was a little under the weather so he hooked us up with Captain Marc Spencer of Hooked on Fishing Bass Charters. The day couldn't have gone better. Captain Marc had us on the fish early and often. My son and I both caught fish over 5 lbs and we totaled over 20 fish in 4 hours, most of which were 3 lbs or over. What a great day! Thanks Captain Marc!

Captain David started fishing with his father when he was a kid. He then graduated to fishing tournaments when he was 16 to see how well he could compete against the best fisherman in the midwest. Starting in 2015, Captain David followed his ever-growing fishing passion all the way to the professional level for a few years. In 2018, he decided he wanted to be a full-time fishing guide, to show other people how to catch fish and fall in love with this sport that he so much adores. Come join him fishing, have a blast, make tons of memories, and learn some fishing tricks to take home for yourself!

Child friendly
Kids are always welcome! I think it just makes the on the water experience that much more enjoyable.

I only do catch and release because Lake Toho is considered a trophy lake and we don't want to take out the good genes out of the lake.
