Communication with AJ’s Bass Guides was extremely clear.  They delivered information and answered questions in a very timely manner.  Our guide, Dalton, met us exactly where and when he said he would and had picked up the agreed upon Shiner’s we’d discussed pre-trip.  He was very easy to talk to, knew a lot about the lake and surrounding areas (which were new to us), and willfully shared a lot of knowledge.  The weather wasn’t perfect as there were continuous squalls throughout the day with the briefest of sun pops through the clouds and a lot of wind, whitecapping at multiple times.  But he was well prepared for that though (including having a extra set of raingear pants which we’d forgotten).  He did his best to avoid the brunt of the squalls when possible and handled the boat very well despite the wind.  He did get us on to fish throughout the day.  Maybe not the 100+ he’d noted the day before, but given the weather he did put us on dozens of fish mostly in the 1-3 pound range throughout the day.  We were never able to hook the trophy fish we were after, but it was a great day of fishing with Dalton and we look forward to going after them again and would definitely seek out Dalton (and AJ’s guides) again without hesitation.

Captain Gaines put us on the fish immediately. I caught 14 beautiful bass including 4 personal best fish In A Row! The 5 best totaled 21.14 lbs. And, my new PB is 5 lbs 9 oz. Even come afternoon when the bite got a little tougher, he kept putting us on fish. I can’t wait to come back and I’ll be bringing my twin sons when I do. The shiner bite was amazing. Do yourself a favor and book this trip! I can’t speak highly enough of Captain Gaines. It was truly a pleasure fishing with him. He’s not only a great fisherman and Captain but he’s a really nice person.

Experience the thrill of the best bass fishing Florida has to offer. Their user-friendly online booking makes planning a breeze. Tailored to your preferences, whether with artificial or live bait, the trip is designed to meet your goals. Their expert guide (Dalton) was incredibly knowledgeable and quickly put us right on the fish. My grandson proudly caught his personal best at 6.5 pounds, all smiles and excitement. This unforgettable fishing adventure was the perfect finale to an amazing Disney trip. You won’t want to miss it!

AJ was one of the nicest friendliest guides I’ve ever fished with. It seriously was like fishing with a buddy from school. He was personable, patient and helpful with my son (11), as well as just being comfortable to be around and converse with. He put us on some fish we definitely wouldn’t have caught back home and I even caught a surprise 11-12” crappie! Highly recommended, I even told him as we were departing at the boat ramp that I’d look him up again if/when we were back in town!
