Southern Fried Charters invites you down to Interlachen FL., to spend the day fishing for trophy Largemouth Bass on world famous Rodman Reservoir.

Rodman has legendary largemouth bass fishing offering angler's an excellent opportunity to achieve that new personal best. Every year many double digit fish are caught and released.

Captain Chris Davy has decades of experience on this body water giving you the advantage needed for a successful day. All tackle is provided along with ice and water. The Captain uses spinning rods but, if you have bait casters or other rods you would prefer, by all means bring em. 

Wild caught shiners are the bait of choice (NOT INCLUDED IN COST) and most double digit fish are caught using them. There is an extra cost for bait but, well worth it.

I grew up in Nashville, TN, before it was cool. As a small kid, we fished every pond and creek within 20 miles of my house, often by horseback. Certainly, it was different times, but my passion for finding fish never changed. Then it was Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Rainbow and Brown Trout, along with Crappie and Catfish. As a teenager, I fished on a boat called Honey Chile in Sarasota/Longboat Key, FL. It was there I learned the pursuit of 'big fish.' I knew then when I was old enough, I'd be heading to FL to live and fish. I always wanted to be a professional fisherman and, in the mid 90's began tournament fishing for Kingfish. The adventure took on a life of its own, and by 2012 I started hosting the Southern Sportsman Radio Show in Flagler County and did so for 8 years. Fishing and being a guide is my life, and the real reason I do it, and love it, is to be a special part of other people's memories with family and friends.

    Winter months are the best for big bass and lots of them. Central Florida just had it's first dip in temps dropping to the 50's at night. My experience is the water is cooling down and fish will start moving soon looking for good spawning locations. The "spawn" is still a few months away but the big girls will start chewin hard now.

    The day was hot the fishing was not. So what's so special? I had to honor of taking 2 brothers out. One is still recovering from a stroke. We had good conversation and laughs while enjoying the experience of watching this man catch the biggest fish of his life. That friends and neighbors is what it's all about!

    Had the good fortune to have these football players from Ohio State out enjoying a bit of time off on Rodman. Man can they make big fish look small. Well they make everything look small. The pre front morning had the bass going off with over 20 fish up to 6.5lbs. on a 4 hour trip. Class act guys.

    One of the last trips during the draw down on Rodman. It was a special trip with no fish under 4lbs. Dave is a long time client and brought his friend from Nantucket. He couldn't believe what a special place this is and that he never heard of it. He will be back.

    It took a few days in a row to pull off a picture worthy post. It happens and thanks to old friends that understand fishing isn't always on fire. Rodman is being filled again so the bass are moving and can be a bit difficult to locate. We fished to no avail for an hour and moved a few times then....... racked off about 8 fish fast then kept it going with some sweet 8 pounders!

    I had 2 days with these repeat clients bass fishing on Rodman Reservoir the last 2 days. Day 1 was OK and we had a few fish with an 8. Most were smaller but fun. Day 2 was a miserable start without a bite till till almost 10. It sucks but happens. Then after some moves and the sun broke through the fog..... BOOM! We blew up a hole with a 9.33 as the fish of the day. Great to see these guys again.

    It's a family affair. Today I had Dad and wife after the last post of Cody and wife. Once again the lady had the hot hand bass fishing on Rodman Reservoir in Florida. Another trophy 8.3LB and it was caught immediately on the first cast. Ha Ha that's just another great story to tell. Great folks from PA.

    Some days are oddly special. What I mean is all odds are against you. The water temp dropped 10 degrees as a cold front came a callin'. I had a pucker factor for sure when I looked at the electronics. Then this gal busted her first fish ever, I mean never caught a fish, trophy 8 pounder. Crazy, and she was a natural! The bite was as frosty as the weather and freezing wind but what we caught was all solid big fish. Great day with this young couple from PA on Rodman.
