Capt. Pete runs trips out of Winter Haven, Fellsmere aboard a 21' Triton bass boat. These waters are known for Largemouth Bass and he will show you how to catch them. With over 34 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

5 Stars – Amazing Day on the Water!

Had an incredible day fishing with Pete from A#1 Bass Guide Service. We caught a ton of bass and had a blast doing it. Pete was not only an expert guide but also great company—easygoing, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing trip, I highly recommend booking with him. Can’t wait to go again!

Great trip
3/4 Day Trip on April 15, 2024 • 2 adults
Our charter with Capt. Pete was really great! It was a beautiful day on the water. Pete was genuinely "just one of the guys" with good conversation and great fishing know how. Bluebird skies made for tougher fishing but we still caught quite a few bass including a couple of 4#ers. He has our recommendation!

Fishing Booking did not inform me that a bigger boat was available. The boat we had was great, but the bigger would have been better.
