Scales & Tales Outdoors Bass Fishing Guide 

Spend the day with Captain Terry Elliott owner operator of Scales & Tales Outdoors and get hooked on fishing the beautiful Winter Haven Chain of Lakes! The captain is a Florida native born and raised and has been fishing the local lakes for over 35 years. Not only does he fish these waters, he literally lives on the Winter Haven Chain in one of the surrounding homes allowing him unlimited opportunity to stay in touch with the fish.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" You'll target your catch by light to medium tackle fishing, with artificial or live bait. Live bait is recommended to ensure you have the highest chance of hooking your personal best! (Live bait *Golden Shiners* offered at market price)

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll step aboard a 21' Phoenix 921 Elite bass boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Terry has professional quality rods, reels and all other needed tackle for you, along with lures.

You will need to get a Florida Freshwater fishing license before the trip, unless exempt by state law. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), hat and possibly a rain coat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Scales & Tales Outdoors!
