Outstanding fishing! Will book Monte again. This guide taught us new tactics in bass fishing. He is a very outgoing person.
Thanks again James! I'm looking forward to fishing with you again sometime.
Highly recommend Monte. Had a full day booked, got to the boat ramp and he had us on fish all day. Highly knowledgeable and just a really solid guy.
Thanks for the great review, Kyle! Hope to see you again soon!
Really good day, we caught fish and he helped my daughter catch some nice bass
Thanks again Scott. Hope to see you again soon!
Monty knew exactly what to do for conditions and what not to do which we would’ve done because were from up north but now I was really a lot of fun and we had a good time
Outstanding guide. He not only knows his stuff but has a spectacular personality. Learned some new techniques and caught fish too! Will be back for sure!

Your captain
Winter Haven, Florida, United States
I've fished Central Florida waterways for over 30 years. Thanks to my father who is a fisherman and who got me started very early, I have managed to amass a vast experience. I have been a long time tournament fisherman and enjoy the thrill of competing.
