About Your Trip

Join Captain Art for an unforgettable bass fishing adventure in Central Florida, where the waters are teeming with trophy-sized largemouth bass and the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking! With over three decades of fishing experience and an impressive resume that includes qualifying for the prestigious BASSMasters Classic, Art brings unmatched expertise and passion to every trip. Whether you’re a seasoned angler looking to hone your skills or a first-timer eager to reel in a bass of a lifetime, Captain Art’s trips promise an action-packed day on some of Florida’s most famous fisheries.

From his early days guiding out of the iconic Roland Martin Marina on Lake Okeechobee to his current operations in the Orlando region, Art has spent his winters mastering Florida’s bass fishing scene. His trips now take you to some of the hottest spots in Central Florida, including the legendary Lake Toho/Kissimmee Chain of Lakes (home to the 2006 Bassmaster Classic), Stick Marsh, Lake Walk-in-Water, the Butler Chain of Lakes, Conway Chain, East Lake Toho, and more. With Art’s intimate knowledge of these waters and his keen ability to adapt to weather and fish activity, you’ll be perfectly positioned to maximize your chances of landing a giant bass.

You’ll be fishing aboard Art’s sleek and spacious Triton boat, fully equipped for a top-notch fishing experience. This vessel features a built-in cooler to keep your drinks and snacks chilled throughout the day, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch. Art provides everything you need to get started, including premium Kistler Custom Rods paired with Shimano reels—available in both baitcasting and spinning setups. He also supplies the finest SUNLINE fishing line, ensuring every cast is smooth and every fight is in your favor.

Each trip is carefully tailored to the season and current fishing conditions. Before your adventure, Art will direct you to the best lake for that day’s action, taking into account factors like weather, water clarity, and recent activity to give you the edge. Whether you’re targeting trophy largemouths in the grassy shallows of Lake Toho or working the intricate structures of the Butler Chain, Captain Art will guide you every step of the way to ensure a memorable and successful outing.

What to Bring:
While all the gear is provided, you’ll want to pack your favorite snacks and drinks to fuel your adventure. With the built-in cooler on board, you can easily bring along sandwiches, sodas, or whatever keeps you refreshed. Don’t forget to dress for the weather, bring your sunglasses, and slather on some sunscreen—you’ll be spending the day under the Florida sun chasing that perfect bass bite!

Whether you’re in town for a family trip, a business retreat, or simply seeking the thrill of landing a bucket-mouth bass, Captain Art’s Central Florida trips are the ultimate way to experience the region’s world-class fishing. Book now and join a true bass fishing legend for an unforgettable day on the water!
