Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The star of the show in Orlando's waters, these fighters are what dreams are made of for many anglers. They're ambush predators, so we'll be targeting structure like fallen trees and grass beds where they love to hide. Spring's usually the best time to catch 'em when they're in the shallows, but Captain Justin knows how to find them year-round. There's nothing quite like the explosive strike of a big largemouth – it'll have your heart racing every time!

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you; these tasty panfish are a blast to catch. They school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. We'll use light tackle and small jigs or minnows to entice them. Crappie fishing really heats up in the cooler months, making them a great target when the bass fishing slows down. Plus, they're delicious if you're looking to take some home for dinner.

Alligator Gar: These prehistoric-looking fish are like living fossils, and hooking one is an experience you won't forget. They can grow huge – we're talking over 100 pounds – and put up one heck of a fight. Gar fishing requires patience and specialized techniques, but when you land one, it's like reeling in a piece of history. They're most active in the warmer months, and while they're catch-and-release, the photo op alone is worth it!

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, two hours might not seem like a long time, but trust me, it's enough to create memories that'll last a lifetime. Whether you're sneaking away from the theme parks for a quick fishing fix or you're a local looking to sharpen your skills, this trip's got everything you need. Captain Justin's knowledge, combined with Orlando's fish-rich waters, means you're in for a top-notch experience. And hey, with the flexible timing, you can easily fit this into even the busiest vacation schedule. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot on the boat, and let's get out there and make some big bass memories!

Hooked on Learning

My daughter has been asking to go fishing for quite some time, and since I know nothing about fishing, I thought we had better learn from an expert! We had a great time with Captain Justin out on the lake. He is a very patient teacher with a calm demeanor, generous with his knowledge about gear, bait, rods, reels, hooks, and best practices (including safety). My daughter had a great experience and reeled in a fish within the first ten minutes (results not typical? lol)! She loved working with Captain Justin to fetch additional shiners from the hold for him to bait the lines. I feel as though I have a good basic working knowledge to start from in terms of taking my daughter to fish from local ponds. It was a great way to get out into nature, do something fun and learn new things! We'll be back with her grandmother next time she's in town visiting! Girls trip! :)

Alligator Gar

Alligator gar are the prehistoric monsters of Orlando's waters. These massive fish can stretch 4-6 feet long and tip the scales at over 100 pounds. You'll find them lurking in the deeper pools of our rivers and backwaters, especially during hot, dry spells in late summer. Gar fishing isn't for the faint of heart - it's all about the thrill of hooking into something truly massive and ancient. They're not the tastiest catch, but the fight and sheer size make them a bucket-list fish for many anglers. Here's the inside scoop: use tough, wire leaders and big, oily bait fish like mullet or carp. Patience is key - let them run with the bait before setting the hook. Remember, these are catch-and-release only in Florida, so bring a camera to capture the moment. It's a unique fishing experience you won't forget.

Crappie

Crappie are the unsung heroes of Orlando fishing. These pan-sized beauties usually measure 7-12 inches and weigh up to a pound. You'll spot them schooling around brushy areas, fallen trees, and dock pilings in our lakes and backwaters. Early spring's the sweet spot for crappie fishing, especially when water temps hit the low 60s. Anglers dig 'em for their tasty white meat and the fun of light-tackle fishing. They're not the biggest fighters, but they make up for it in numbers - when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Here's a tip: try using small jigs or live minnows under a bobber, slowly working the bait through likely cover. Crappie have small mouths, so keep your hooks on the smaller side. Perfect for newcomers or anyone looking for a relaxed day on the water with a good chance of filling the cooler.

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the rockstars of Orlando's inshore waters. These green-bodied fighters typically run 12-24 inches and 1-4 pounds, though bigger ones aren't uncommon. You'll find them hanging out near weeds, sunken logs, and gradual shores - they love ambushing prey from cover. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer mornings can be hot too. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps when hooked. Plus, they're not too picky - plastic worms, crankbaits, even topwater lures all work well. Here's a local trick: when the water's murky, go with brighter, noisier lures to get their attention. Whether you're after a trophy or just want to feel that signature largemouth pull, these fish deliver an exciting fight every time.
