Running angling trips out of Apopka, Captain Ron's Outdoor Services invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Ron will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, drift fishing, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Crappie, Bass, and Catfish depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 21' NauticStar boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat features a wireless trolling motor, live bait tank, state-of-the-art navigational equipment, safety gear, and fishing tackle. The boat's shallow draft is perfect for fishing the hard-to-reach areas where fish like to hide. This NauticStar bay boat features front and aft decks spacious enough to accommodate you and 3 other guests.

Fishing licenses aren't included, so make sure to get them prior to the trip.

You're welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Children are welcome aboard so you're good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Captain Ron's Outdoor Services.

    Specks of Wisdom!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on January 4, 2025 • 2 adults

    Not new to fishing but new to fishing for Crappie in this part of Florida. Captain Ron not only got us to spots where we caught a respectable number of Speck considering the weather conditions we had to adjust to the weather. But I explained that I was hoping to get some insights into fishing for Speck in the area. He also shared tons of knowledge on the species locations, behaviors, and tackle to be successful. He also gave me tips on some good bass fishing locations once I am waterbound with my new boat. Excellent trip and would recommend to anyone who wants a trip with someone who has a lifetime of knowledge fishing in the Harris Chain. 10/10 recommend!

    Had a great trip!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 14, 2024 • 2 adults

    Had a great fishing trip with Captain Ron! My son and I did the 4 hour trip which was a great price and value compared to other guides or services you’ll find. My son and I had a blast and Capt Ron remained remarkably persistent and patient while the fish continued to evade us for part of our trip! We ended up catching several large creatures known as bass so that pleased me greatly. Much success was had and we will be booking with this awesome captain again.
