Captain Shawn Was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and he was terrific with my grandson. We caught some very, very large fish cause he knew all of the little nooks and crannies where the fish hid. I would definitely go out with him again I highly recommend him.

Choose a bass trip for Florida largemouth bass; bass boats take up to 4 people, which suits families and first-timers. Choose a pontoon trip on Lake Toho if your group wants more room and seats. Choose a crappie trip in the cooler months, when speckled perch school on Lake Toho.
