Get Hooked Bait & Tackle runs a variety of awesome fishing trips on the John’s and Butler Chain Lakes. Stark Lake and many other lakes in the state of Florida. We also run Florida bass charter which is one of the top charter services in Florida. Head out on the water with the guys who know them best, fishing the most productive spots according to the dozens of anglers and guides who stop by the shop on every day, where we take you your going to enjoy the day and make memories that you will never forget.

Spend the day fishing aboard a brand new, sturdy, and reliable 21’ Skeeter bass boat. This boat offers one of the most comfortable rides in the area, with room for 4 anglers maximum, but 3 is recommended for comfort. She’s powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine, which enables a smooth ride. There are also front and back resting seats for long trips.

The skeeter can hold max 4, I will make the call when the time comes.  Please note as stated it’s best for 3 guests.

The local lakes are famous for their awesome Crappie and Largemouth Bass fishing. On a good day, you could be on the business end of many multi-fish counts. The most effective way to attract them is with live bait. Bait isn’t included in the trip price but we can get it for a discounted price.

With 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8-hour options as well as the choice of mornings or afternoons, you can always find a trip to suit your schedule. Get Hooked Bait And Tackle operates a catch and release policy on all their trips, releasing the fish to make sure future generations can enjoy it.

After your trip, if you’re interested, you can do a short drive and visit our bait and tackle shop. Also, we can handle big multi-trips from small trips to cooperate events as we have many captains who guide for us out of our shop. We also run Florida bass charter which is ranked in the top of all google rankings.  Come on out and enjoy your day with the professionals.

I have been fishing for almost 45 years. Im a USCG approved captain and fish the FLW as a pro. I grew up Bass fishing four days a week, riding my bicycle to go fish. I now own the bait shop Get Hooked Bait & Tackle, I also own get hooked magic baits an artificial soft plastic company of 50,000 plus sold at the shop we have hundreds of people come in weekly. We're able to find the best spots and give out the best deals on guided trips with our bait. I do Charters all over the state but i will have us on a lake that is catching. I started guiding because it's like owning the bait shop, I want people to catch fish and what better way than being on the water getting them hooked up! Fishing is my life and our current boat is tuned up to run smoothly on the water to get where we need to go. Nothing makes me happier than seeing people catch fish. Bass is my thing and we have caught them year-round.
