Jurassic Park Fishing Charters
Jurassic Park Fishing Charters
Who wants a freshwater adventure?! Only 2 miles from the coast, you can join Jurassic Park Fishing Charters on the Ida Lake chain. Captain John has been fishing here for over 25 years and wants to share his knowledge with other people. So leave the ocean for a day and come to these calm waters to relax.
You’ll be fishing on a 2022 20’ Avid Boats bay boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This boat is powered by a Yamaha Vmax SHO engine and a wireless trolling motor. The best thing is that it takes only a few minutes to reach your fishing spot and start enjoying your trip.
Capt. John is an expert when it comes to catching Clown Knife Fish, Peacock Bass, and Snakehead. You can also go after Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Hybrid Striped Bass. Choose if you want to target them using light tackle or fly fishing gear. Another advantage you have fishing with this charter
All fishing equipment is covered by the captain but feel free to bring your own if you want. He’ll also prepare bottled water but feel free to bring other beverages and snacks. It’s recommended to have your hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses with you.
A day of relaxation is right here. Join Jurassic Park Fishing Charters at the lake and have fun!

Bucket List ✅
What an awesome day on the water! My 13-year-old son and I have had Peacock bass on our bucket list for a while, and Captain John made sure we checked them off! He's super laid back and clearly knows his stuff, getting us straight to where the fish were biting. We really appreciated all his helpful advice and pointers that got us catching. If you're looking to fish in this area, you absolutely need to book with him! We're already looking forward to our next adventure!

Great day on Lake Ida with John!
My son and I had a wonderful time fishing with John today! He was super patient with us while we got a feel for the bite of the peacocks on live bait. He is a true expert on the lake and the species. We caught several large males and a few females, as well as some stripers, a largemouth, and a colorful Mayan cichlid. He was extremely efficient with our time throughout the six-hour trip, and I'd gladly fish with him again.

Amazing experience !!
My family and I came down to Delray for new years and decided we wanted to do a quick fishing trip. I decided to go with captain John because of all the great reviews listed. Let me tell you he definitely lived up to the hype. Captain John makes sure you catch fish by bringing you to his top spots. My family are not experienced fishers and captain John took the time to teach us all the tips and tricks to be successful. The water was so calm and relaxing. Rods up!! We will definitely book with him when we come back down to Florida.

MY FIRST PEACOCK BASS EXCURSION
Capt. John grew up in this area his entire life. knows the areas the fish favor. knows the right baits and gives good pointers to help you succeed in catching fish. Friendly on time and prepared. i was totally pleased with the outcome of the day and his efforts to put me on fish. Caught quite a few Peacocks and a were really nice sized ! i had strikes from Clown fish, but missed. propobably due to my inexperience with that type fish.
