Operationtek 

We have just moved to the area and had seen so many people fishing so wanted to give it a try to see if we could learn the basics and see if it was something we’d enjoy. We had SUCH a great morning! The time flew by - so pleased we opted for the 3hr session. Rigt away we were fishing….We caught peacock & large mouth bass, crappie, clown featherback and an atlantic needlefish and learnt so much along the way. Captain Brian was super knowledgable and guided us as first timers at every step. Genuinely couldn’t recommend this trip more! - Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We had an amazing 5 hour trip with Bryan. caught a lot of fish including bass, striped bass and clown knife fish! Bryan was very attentive, always asking our input and was always trying to make this trip as enjoyable as possible. Also, he is very positive and has great sense of humor.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and had Peacock Bass on our bucket list! Guide was very knowledeable and helpful! He also made the trip super fun and caught quite a few different kinds of fish! We were catching fish within the first 20 minutes and had such a blast!

weather was cold and windy but overall a great fishing experience. We caught so many different species like clown knife fish, hybrid striped bass, along with some largemouth bass and needle fish. The captain was awesome and welcoming , I would recommend this trip to advid fisherman and ones who are just beginning. Definitely recommend this trip to everone though as it was a thrilling experience!

Brian is an excellent captain and super nice guy. He was quick to communicate pre trip answering our questions and very instructional during the fishing trip. Out of the gate we hit a hot spot and caught fish immediately. Later in the day we hit other spots and caught a variety of fish. Overall we caught over 30 fish. It was a lot of fun and something I'll do again.

Brian put us on fish prettt much everywhere we went. Had a great time.

Captain Brian provided us with an exceptional fishing experience. He works super hard to make sure everyone catches fish and has a great time. I highly recommend him.

Captain Brian knew the right spots to catch fish, my party had a great time fishing 👍

From start to finish, our experience with Operationtek Fishing Charters was nothing short of exceptional. Captain Brian is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about what he does—and it shows. He knew exactly where to go on Lake Ida to find the fish, and within minutes we were reeling in peacock bass, largemouth, and even clown knife fish! The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear, making it easy for both beginners and experienced anglers to enjoy the trip. Brian was patient, professional, and full of great stories that kept the energy high the entire day. Whether you’re looking to catch your personal best or just want a peaceful day on the water surrounded by Lake Ida’s natural beauty, Operationtek is the charter to book. I can’t recommend them enough—we’re already planning our next trip!

I definitely recommend booking with this charter. We caught six species, he is willing to do all the work for you if you please. Baiting your hooks, netting the fish, even taking them off and releasing them if your someone who doesn't want to touch anything. He will do his best to keep consistent action, if it slows down he moves to find fish. If your looking for a nice inland lake/canals fishing trip, this is your guy. No complaints on my end.
