Captain Skip grew up in upstate New York fishing all sorts of ponds, lakes, rivers and streams. In 1989 he moved to South Florida, and his love for fishing came with him. He fished the South Florida for 8 years before moving to the Lake Ida chain in 1997. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - He's been fishing the Lake Ida chain ever since!

Captain Skip runs a 20ft G3 deluxe bay boat which will fish up to 3 anglers comfortably. His specialties are Largemouth Bass, Peacock Bass, and Clown Knife Fish. Book an amazing trip with a guide who knows the Florida waters today!

As Captain skip always says, “Tite lines”, “Catchem up”, and “No fish, No pay!"

Really good with novice anglers, adult and child. Got us onto plenty of big fish during a slow time / cold snap. Great time with Skip and looking forward to future outings

Your motto stands true! We booked a damn good fishing adventure with Captain Skip on Lake Ida. He managed our fishing time well, searched and found the fish we were looking for and catered to all fishing levels in our group. He is a seasoned and knowledgeable guide. Finished the trip with Peacock Bass, Clown Knives, Strippers and native large mouth Bass. We are looking forward to another trip when we return to WPB.

It was an excellent trip. We had fun and caught lots of fish. My two nephews loved it and are ready to go again. Skip was a very nice guy and certainly knows a lot about the variety of fish that exists in Lake Ida.
