Trip Overview

Hop aboard our sleek Phoenix bass boat for a day of non-stop fishing excitement.

You'll have ample opportunity to perfect your casts, experiment with various lures, and hopefully land that personal best you've been dreaming about.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early, meeting at the launch site where you'll get acquainted with the boat and gear. Your guide will run through a quick safety briefing and game plan for the day. Then it's time to hit the water! We'll start by targeting some early morning hotspots where bass are actively feeding. As the day progresses, we'll adjust our tactics and locations to stay on the fish. You might find yourself flipping jigs under docks, working topwater lures along grass lines, or slow-rolling spinnerbaits through submerged timber. Your guide will be right there to offer tips, help with technique, and ensure you're making the most of every cast.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Fishing fanatics rave about our 6-hour trips for good reason. The extended time on the water means more chances to dial in your presentation and figure out what the bass want on any given day. You're not rushed, so there's time to really explore the lakes and find those honey holes where the big ones lurk. Plus, with only you on the boat, you get the guide's full attention and can pick their brain for local knowledge and fishing secrets. It's like having a bass fishing masterclass while you're out there landing lunkers!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth bass are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish are known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps when hooked. In the lakes around St. Augustine, largemouth can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 8 pounds not uncommon. The biggest bass tend to be most active in the early spring during the spawn, but you can catch quality fish year-round. In the warmer months, focus on early mornings and evenings when bass move into the shallows to feed. During summer heat, we'll target deeper structure where the big ones hang out to stay cool. Fall is another prime time as bass fatten up for winter, often aggressively chasing baitfish. Your guide will know exactly where to find them based on the season and conditions.

While largemouth are the main target, don't be surprised if you hook into some bonus species. Florida's lakes are also home to feisty chain pickerel, which hit hard and fight like crazy. You might also tangle with some chunky bluegill or crappie, especially if we're working around brush piles or fallen trees. These panfish make for great eating if you're looking to take home a fresh dinner.

Top Catches This Season

This spring has been red hot for big bass, with several customers landing their personal best fish. We've seen multiple 8+ pounders come to the boat, with a few pushing the 10-pound mark. One lucky angler even managed to boat a 12.5-pound beast on a chatterbait – definitely a fish of a lifetime! While we can't guarantee you'll catch a monster, the potential is always there, and that's what keeps anglers coming back for more.
