Growing up, Captain Jonathon had years of experience on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes despite being the younger of the guides in the Orlando area. Being born and raised right here in Saint Cloud, Florida helped sparked his interest in fishing at an early age. From the age of 5, the captain has been riding around with his father and grandfathers learning about the local lakes in the Kissimmee area. When he's not fishing the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, he is most likely fishing the backwaters in Crystal River or in a tree stand somewhere in the woods. Captain Jonathon started fishing tournaments back in the local high school club 'Osceola Anglers', after which he went on to fish for the University of Central Florida. Now, years later, the captain wishes to share with others what his community has to offer on one of the best fisheries in the country and do his part in growing the sport.

    beginner’s luck!

    Half Day Bass Trip (MAX 4 PEOPLE) • 3 adults

    This was a gift for my brother’s birthdays since they like fishing but it had been awhile since they got to fish since all we do is work. First off thank you, Jonathon! His communication was great,if I had any questions he was so responsive! Great in person as well, He was so patient with me as a beginner and was so nice to me and my brothers! His boat was awesome, the ride was so fun. Lake Toho was so beautiful in the morning. Was really cool to catch fish for the first time on a boat! Jonathon was knowledgeable and helpful! He even weighed our fish for us. We would definitely do this again with KickBass Fishing Charters! An awesome experience!! - Rochelle

    I hadn't been fishing in 15 years & decided to treat myself to a fishing trip for my birthday. Captain Jonathon was very friendly, on time, professional & knowledgeable. Caught many bass along with gar & a mudfish. Even had an unexpected catch. He helped to make this day spectacular for me. I highly recommend him & will be booking more trips with him in the future.

    Great Florida Bass Fishing

    3/4 Day Bass Trip (MAX 4 PEOPLE) • 2 adults

    Summer is the slow season. but Capt. Jon still put us on the fish. 18 bass boated. Well maintained boat and gear. Good communications, professional all the way. On time, departure very knowledgable fisherman. If in the Orlando area give Capt. Jonathon a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Today was about taking my 13yr old son fishing in Florida for the first time. We left with memories that will last a lifetime. Capt. Jon is laid back, easy going and a true pleasure to be around. Next time we’re in Orlando, another trip with Kickbass Fishing and Capt. Jon will be booked!
