Northeast Florida Guided Bass Fishing
St. Johns plus Rodman, Orange Lake, the Harris Chain, and Lake Santa Fe — wherever they're biting.
Bass, Crappie & Redfish, done right.
A typical day is an 8-hour guided trip for bass using artificial or live bait — I supply everything except sunscreen and drinks. I generally concentrate on the St. Johns River in Palatka, Florida, but we also fish surrounding waters such as the Rodman Reservoir, Orange Lake, the Harris Chain of Lakes, and Lake Santa Fe.
This trip is all about putting you on fish. I use all modern and up-to-date spinning and casting rods, and we'll match the water and technique to the conditions and your goals for the day.
It's a great option for anglers who want the flexibility to chase bass across Northeast Florida's best waters, with crappie and the occasional redfish in the mix.
