My mother, aunt and I drove down from Gainesville, Florida, and had an awesome time with Captain Mike. He was so helpful and humorous. We were more than happy with the bass that we caught and we will definitely use his services again when we return to Kissimmee.

Captain Devin was AWESOME! Booked our trip for our son’s 16th birthday. Devin was responsive with communication and knew the exact spot to hit for our trip! Next time we are in the Orlando area we will be calling Devin for our next trip out on the lake!

The trip was great! Captain Devin was very helpful with baiting hooks to helping with backlashes etc! He supplied everything we needed rods, reels, lures you name it! We’ve been done for about 10 minutes and our boys are already asking us when we can come back to Florida to fish with him again…

Captain Devin was amazing!!! I wanted to give my son and nephew a fishing trip they would never forget while vacationing in Orlando and Capt. Devin delivered! It was such an amazing day of catching lots of fish. My boys and I loved every minute of it! We will definitely be back!

This is our 2nd time with Captain Dickerson. He is my Dude ! If you are ever in Orlando . He is a must book ! Unless you are afraid of catching fish 😂😂😂! If we were in a tournament that day! Capt Dickerson's boat would've had a nice bag with a 5 fish limit! At least 17 plus lbs. We will definitely be back !

Capt Reno Alley is an excellent resource if you're fishing the Orlando area. 40 plus yrs fishing and guiding the surrounding lakes. He put me on fish all day, and lots of big largemouth landed...over 20! Will definitely rebook with Reno next year.
