Are you looking for a professional guide service in the Orlando or Central Florida area?
Captain Mick guides bass anglers year-round on two of the best fisheries in North America! He has over 40 years of experience fishing the legendary northern waters of Lake Champlain, and nearly 35 years fishing the most productive inland bass waters of Central Florida.
He knows that the best time to target trophy Florida strain Largemouth Bass is around the spawn, from mid-December through March. That’s why Bassmasters and the FLW hold major tournaments in Florida during these prime months, and that’s why Captain Mick makes his annual pilgrimage to Florida during the winter.
He also knows the optimal patterns to bring fish to the boat. Wild shiners are great but they’re expensive and other guides insist you pick up the cost. Most of Mick’s clients prefer using artificial baits. They enjoy the challenge of enticing a monster bass to inhale a jig, t-bone a spinner bait, or crush a topwater offering.
Mick patiently guides all anglers regardless of their skill level. Join Captain Mick Maynard, you’ll be rewarded with an exciting day of fishing with a seasoned pro.

Special 12 hour trip for John Lakatos
Hot day on the Harris Chain and Captain Captain Mick put me on fish right from the start. He gave me some tips on the seasonal patterns that have been working well and I did my part, catching 15 beautiful Florida bass and landing a solid 5 pounder for my biggest. Thanks Captain Mick!

The Captin on or fishing charter did everything in his power to get us Large Mouth Bass . We caught some, but it was a tough day . The captain would try an area for long enough to know this was not the spot and move to another place ! It was just one of those days . The Captin kept us out longer than the time we charted for at no extra charge ! I would hire him again ,we just had a tough day !
