About Your Trip

Discover the magic of Florida’s freshwater fishing with Captain Jackson, a skilled and personable angler who’s passionate about showing you the beauty and bounty of the state’s legendary lakes. Launching out of Kissimmee, Captain Jackson will guide you across the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, the Winter Haven Chain, and other serene fishing hotspots teeming with prized Largemouth Bass. Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing that next trophy catch or introducing your kids to the joys of fishing, this trip promises unforgettable moments on the water.

Step aboard a 21’ Big "O" Boats Elite bass boat, custom-built for premium freshwater fishing adventures. Powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and equipped with advanced GPS and fishfinder technology, this sleek vessel ensures efficient and precise navigation. The wireless trolling motor lets you quietly work the best fishing spots, while the livewell keeps bait fresh and catches lively. There’s also an onboard ice box stocked with water to keep you refreshed throughout the trip.

Captain Jackson specializes in targeting Florida’s iconic Largemouth Bass using both light and heavy tackle. Depending on your preference, you can fish with artificial lures or live Wild Shiners—both options offer an excellent chance at landing that bucket-list bass. Whether you keep your catch or release it back into the water, Captain Jackson will tailor the experience to your style and skill level.

Families are more than welcome aboard, and Captain Jackson’s warm, inviting approach makes this trip perfect for kids and adults alike. For beginners, he’ll offer expert tips to help you develop your skills, and for seasoned anglers, his tournament-level expertise ensures you’ll be fishing with top-tier techniques and gear. In fact, Captain Jackson partners with 13 Fishing, so you’ll have access to the latest high-performance rods, reels, and tackle—including both left- and right-handed baitcasters and spinning setups.

After a morning of fishing, consider wrapping up your day with a visit to one of Winter Haven’s famous waterfront restaurants. Whether you book the 4-hour excursion for a quick and exciting outing or opt for the 6-hour trip to explore even more waters, this adventure is a must-do for anglers visiting Central Florida.

Captain Jackson will provide all rods, reels, tackle, lures, bottled water, and sunscreen—you just need to bring along your fishing licenses, snacks, and your sense of adventure. Get ready to make lifelong memories as you reel in Florida’s trophy bass alongside one of the region’s top fishing guides!
