Captain Thomas has been fishing for 20 years, guiding for 3 years. Being local to the area, he knows all the good fishing spots. The main reason he started to guide fishing trips is so he could teach other people and pass on his knowledge. His trips are great for the whole family.

    5Hr Trip - Worth every penny

    5 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Capt Tom, thank you so much for the guided tour. Top class service with over 31 fish caught. Largest was 8.5lbs Bass. If your in any doubt when booking then look no further. We had live bait which is the only way to go. To compare with other fishing firm we did last year Tom caught more live bait whilst we fished so we used the full time. Even took us on a boat ride !!! We will be using Tom again Cheers mate

    Reported catch:
    Hybrid Striped Bass
    Largemouth Bass

    5hr trip with Thomas Goodman

    5 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain was on time, equipment was good. Did not seem friendly over the phone but as we got to know each other he was very easy to get along with. He knew what he was doing and knew where the fish were. We were after bass and striper hybrids. We caught at least 40 bass and 20 hybrids all caught on minnows. He let us do most the fishing as he rarely fished. We had a great and very friendly trip. Highly recommend Tom.

    5 hour afternoon trip with captain Thomas!

    5 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 4 children

    Thomas was so great with us and our kids! My husband is an experienced fisherman- but he even said this was the best day of fishing he has ever had! Captain Thomas was patient and helpful with the kids! He gave them unlimited opportunity that they capitalized on to catch fish after fish!

    Father son vacation, First time on the lake fishing….Amazing!!!

    2 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    What an Amazing experience!! This was both of our first time out on the lake fishing. Thomas set us up with Captin Adam. The Captin knew exactly where to go to catch the fish. We showed up 40 mins late to our 6pm private tour. I wouldn’t suggest you do that, but Captin Adam waited on us and was very patient and helpful. We stayed out two hours and caught 8 fish. A newbie at fishing, so I’m use to fishing 2 or 3 hours and not catching anything! So this was a great experience!!

What's biting with Central Florida Outdoors in Orlando

Bass are still piling on the pounds and attacking whatever is thrown at them. They're getting ready for the spawning season - this is one of the best times to explore everything that fishing in Orlando has to offer.
