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.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
