4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 8, 20262 adults
If you are looking for a guide that is very knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, fun and works incredibly hard to put his clients on fish. Then I recommend you to book with Doug! Me and him together caught 30+ fish the whole trip, one of my favorite parts of the whole trip was learning how to use the soar to spot where the fish were at and see them eat on the screen. It was also cool getting to see all the fancy real estate that was on the lake and hear the stories behind them. But overall it felt great to get on some Florida largemouth bass! I would recommend Doug to the experienced and unexperienced anglers!

Day Trip With Capt. Doug on the Butler Chain
6 Hour Trip (AM Only) on February 26, 2026
Had a great day on the water. Caught a lot of fish all males. Our trip was just after the last cold snap and they were just moving up later in the day. Would love to have gone out a few days later with Capt. Doug. I bet he slayed them!

Big Fun Bass Fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 27, 2026
We had a great charter experience with Captain Doug and caught quite a few bass. He's the real deal. Try Designed Outdoors fishing as an alternative to the overcrowded Orlando theme park plans.

EXCELLENT CHARTER WITH CAPTAIN DOUG
4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 27, 2026
We had a great day on the Butler chain of lakes. We caught quite a few fish. Doug is an excellent captain. The scenery was great. If you are in town for the theme parks, book a trip for a great alternative adventure.
