"Orlando’s #1 rated fishing guide!" Fish for hundreds of schooling Bass or trophy Bass in Orlando with USCG Licensed Captain David “Paycheck” Pechacek. He has over 25 years of fishing experience all across the country. We will fish one of the lakes in the Orlando metro area including Lake Toho, Butler Chain or Clear Lake. He will teach you new fishing techniques & make the day all about you. Capt David loves working with people of all ages. You will always receive outstanding service, professionalism & memories you will not forget. Let’s enjoy the wildlife, catch some fish & spend some quality time with your loved ones. Let’s make some memories that last a lifetime! David Paycheck Fishing Charters is here to make your dreams become a reality!"

Lets explore 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 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. Lets go have an absolutely amazing day on the water together!
