We went out for a 4 hour trip in February with Captain Dave. The weather wasn’t cooperating with us but he did so much to put us on big bass! We caught 15+ fish including largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and catfish! The trip was great. Not far from the Disney/Orlando parks. Would definitely recommend going out with him if you get the chance!
