Captain John invites you to join him on the Ida Lake chain! Only two miles from the Atlantic ocean, next to Delray Beach, a freshwater trip on a saltwater fishing scene awaits. Besides the usual public spots, with Captain John, you’ll have exclusive access to a private lake.

Captain John specializes in catching exotic species, which is in this area Clown Knifefish (Clown Featherback). The lakes are also full of Peacock Bass, but you can also catch Snakehead and Largemouth Bass. You’ll mainly use light tackle and even catch fish on a fly.

Everything starts on a 17’ Carolina Skiff boat. There’s enough room for 3 guests to join, It takes only a few minutes to find a great spot and start fishing. Whenever you want to switch to something more relaxing and enjoyable, ditch the saltwater fishing and join Captain John at the lake!
