Do you only guide on the Suwannee River? No. Depending on the season and weather, I am willing to travel to almost any body of accessible water that is within reasonable traveling distance of Suwannee County.

What types of fish do you guide for? If it swims- we can try to catch it. The Suwannee River and its tributaries are home to a number of species of freshwater (and sometimes saltwater) fish.

Why should I fish the Suwannee River? The Suwannee River not only offers excellent fishing, but the scenic beauty of the river is unparallel to any other natural river in Florida. There are plentiful numbers of panfish that inhabit the waters of the Suwannee along with catfish, mullet and the occasional speckled perch. But the most alluring of all the species that inhabit the river is the Suwannee (redeye) bass. There are only a few bodies of water in the entire nation that the Suwannee bass can be found.

What is a Suwannee Bass? The Suwannee bass is often compared to a cross between a Smallmouth and Spotted bass. To say the least it is mean! A two pound Suwannee bass is compared to a ten pound largemouth! The world record Suwannee Bass weighed 4.13 pounds, but there have been numerous reports of folks that have caught Suwannee’s larger than the current record, yet the record weight was unbeknownst to them and I would have to assume that these fish were either released or made into table fare.

When is the best time to book a trip? The fishing in the Suwannee can be good year round, but of course weather and water levels play a key role in how the fish are reacting. Spring and summer months are my recommendation for the simple fact of being able to enjoy the weather and wildlife. The Suwannee River is home to a number of freshwater springs that are very refreshing places to cool off during summertime fishing trips and the wildlife activity along the banks of the Suwannee is usually in its prime during the springtime months.

What type of boat will I be fishing from? You will be fishing from the deck of the finest bass boat on the water. I runa brand new Ranger Z19 equipped with a Yamaha VMAX 225 HPDI

Do you provide any equipment? I recommend that my clients bring their own equipment if it is feasible for the simple fact of comfort. It has been my experience that a person can operate equipment they are comfortable with a lot better than a rod and reel that they have never used and people can enjoy their day on the water a lot more if their time is spent catching fish and not untangling backlashes. However, if you don’t have any equipment or simply would like to use the equipment that I have to offer I will be more than happy to accommodate you based on your proficiency with either a spincast, baitcasting or spinning reel at no extra charge.
