About Your Trip
Step aboard with Captain Joel and experience some of Florida’s best freshwater fishing on the legendary Lake Butler Chain of Lakes and Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho). Known for producing trophy Largemouth Bass along with Speckled Perch and Catfish, these waters are perfect for anglers of all experience levels looking for a day packed with action.
You’ll be fishing from a fully equipped guide boat that comfortably accommodates up to 4 passengers. Outfitted with a Lowrance ActiveTarget®
live sonar system, you’ll have a real-time view of fish movement beneath the surface, giving you a major edge. The boat also features a depth finder, power pole, live well, built-in cooler, and all necessary safety gear including life vests for every passenger. There are even accommodations for guests with certain disabilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy time on the water.
Captain Joel provides rods, reels, tackle, and bait for your trip, with the option to use either live or artificial bait. If you’d like to use live shiners for Bass, they’re available at $30 per dozen—just let Joel know ahead of time so he can have them ready.
Trips are available as half-day (4 hours) or full-day (7 hours) charters, giving you flexibility to match your schedule. Water is provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own food, drinks, and snacks along. A personal cooler is no problem if you want to stock up for the day.
Whether you’re chasing that personal-best Bass, filling the cooler with Perch, or introducing the family to freshwater fishing, Captain Joel makes it simple, comfortable, and fun. Book your trip today and enjoy a front-row seat to Florida’s incredible lake fishing.
