With 6 full hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to reel in both largemouth bass and crappie (also known as speck). Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, our expert guides will make sure you're in for a productive day of fishing that'll have you coming back for more.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you hop aboard, you'll feel the excitement in the air. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to share their local knowledge with you. We'll cruise to some of the hottest fishing spots in the area, where the bass and crappie are known to hang out. You'll be using top-of-the-line gear and learning techniques that the pros swear by. And don't worry if you're new to this – our guides are patient teachers who'll have you casting like a pro in no time. With a 2-person max capacity, you're guaranteed plenty of one-on-one attention and a chance to really hone your skills.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of tried-and-true methods to target both bass and crappie. For bass, we might start with some topwater action early in the morning, switching to soft plastics or crankbaits as the day heats up. When it comes to crappie, we'll likely be using light tackle and live bait, maybe even doing some spider rigging if the conditions are right. Our guides are always adapting to what's working best on any given day, so you'll get to try out a variety of techniques. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to lures and live bait, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a lucky hat.

Top Catches This Season

Florida's lakes have been on fire lately, with anglers pulling in some real beauties. Just last week, one of our guests landed a 7-pound largemouth that put up a fight worthy of a fishing story. And let's not forget about the crappie – we've been seeing some real slabs, with quite a few in the 2-pound range. The bite's been consistent, and we're expecting more of the same. Who knows? You might just be our next trophy catch of the season!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of freshwater gamefish, Florida's largemouth bass are world-renowned for good reason. These green machines can grow to impressive sizes in our warm waters, with the state record tipping the scales at over 17 pounds! They're aggressive predators, known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. Spring and fall are prime times for bass fishing, but in Florida, you can catch them year-round. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a big bass smashing your lure on the surface – it's a heart-stopping moment that keeps anglers coming back time and time again.

Crappie (Speck): Don't let their size fool you – these tasty panfish punch well above their weight class when it comes to fun. Florida crappie, often called specks, are some of the biggest you'll find anywhere. They school up, which means when you find them, you can expect fast action. Winter and early spring are typically the best times to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn. But our guides know how to find them year-round. Crappie are known for their light bites and delicate mouth, so finesse is key. And let's not forget – they're absolutely delicious, making them a favorite for anglers looking to bring home dinner.

And let's face it – nothing beats the satisfaction of reeling in a big one after a good fight. It's the kind of day that leaves you with a grin from ear to ear and stories to tell for years to come.
