There's a fish with your name on it in Ocklawaha and Captain Love will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Love can tell you all about them.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Largemouth Bass or whatever else takes the bait. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. Kids under 16 do not need a license in the state of Florida. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be casting lines from a 19' Triton bass boat that can carry up to 3 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available upon request.

It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Adult beverages are welcome but please drink responsibly. There will be some light snacks included on board for the 6 or 8 hour trips.

    Day Trip with Captain Love

    4 Hour Trip on January 31, 2026

    It was a great overall experience where I really enjoyed myself. To start the day I caught a 7 pound bass! There were a few more in that spot but the wind picked up. I was worried the weather was going to hinder our trip. But the captain was able to find multiple other good places to fish. We caught more good fish in the canals in a variety of ways. The captain was kind and helpful while also providing for everything. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to have a good time.

    Learned a few things about the lake.

    6 Hour Trip on October 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught a few bass on plastic, frog and chatter bait. Nothing big but we are avid fishermen so I went more to learn more about the lake and fish pattern. The Guide was very good and friendly

    Great experience for my grandsons! Even though it was a slow fishing day, the boys did get to learn plenty about bass fishing, which was really our goal.
