Guided Freshwater Fishing Trips

Whether you’re a seasonal visitor or a longtime resident, don’t miss out on the chance to experience freshwater fishing in Southwest Florida. Our temperate climate and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities make a day on the water about so much more than just fishing itself. A guided freshwater trip is the perfect way to learn new skills while unwinding in the great outdoors.

Picture yourself casting to largemouth bass and bluegill on a serene freshwater lake while white egrets soar overhead. Or, chase the colorful and tenacious peacock bass on a series of winding canals.

New to fishing? Want to learn new fly fishing skills or learn how to fish with artificial baits? There’s no better way to develop your skills than spending time on the water with a seasoned professional.

Debbie is a USCG licensed captain who is fully insured and possesses her Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card. Guided trips take place aboard a 15-foot Tracker Topper. Tackle, equipment, flies, artificial baits, drinks and snacks are provided. Capacity for 1 to 2 anglers.
