Local Water, Local Knowledge

The St. Johns River is home — and we know it.

Every trip is a hands-on day on the water with a guide who fishes these waters year-round and knows where the bass are moving and what they're biting.

Live shiners or artificial, full day or half — we tailor the trip to your experience level and the day's conditions. First bass or a trophy hawg, we'll put you on fish.
