What time do we meet?​

Pickup times will vary depending on the length of the charter and our goals for the day.

Your Captain will speak with you directly the day before your trip to coordinate the meeting time, location, and discuss your goals for your fishing experience.

What happens if we have to cancel?

We understand that things happen!

If you need to cancel your fishing charter with us, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice, and we will issue a full refund.

What if it rains or there's bad weather?

We fish rain or shine, but safety is our top priority.

If your Captain decides to call off your fishing charter due to poor weather or other unsafe conditions, we’ll do our best to reschedule your trip. If rescheduling isn’t possible due to travel or other reasons, we’ll provide a 100% refund for any amounts previously paid.

Where do we meet for our charter?​

Meeting locations vary depending on your charter and where you’ll be fishing. Captain Cannon uses multiple boat ramps and locations. During your call with Captain Cannon, he will discuss the specific meeting spot and provide any needed directions.

What can we expect to catch on our charter?​

On our freshwater fishing charters, we primarily target species such as:

  • Largemouth Bass
  • Crappie
  • Bluegill
  • Catfish
  • And more…

Your specific catch will vary based on the season, location, and conditions on the day of your trip.

Can we keep the fish we catch?​

Yes, you can keep the fish you catch; however, keep in mind that regulations for keeping different species may vary by season. Be sure to ask your Captain which fish can be kept during your charter.

Captain Cannon will clean your fish and can even recommend local restaurants that will cook your fresh catch for you!

Are we allowed to tip the Captain?
Absolutely! Your Captain works extremely hard to provide his guests with the best fishing experiences possible.
 
Customarily, gratuities for a Captain are 20%+ of the cost of your charter.
Do we need fishing licenses?​

Nope!

Your Charter has all of the licenses and permits you’ll need for your fishing charter and are included for your trip.

Can we bring alcohol on a fishing charter?

Yes. We even supply an iced-down cooler to keep your drinks chilly!

We just ask that you drink responsibly and leave the glass containers at home.

What kind of boat will we be going out in?​

You’ll be fishing from a custom 22×60 2024 Dual Powered ProDrive boat, specifically designed for navigating Central Florida’s freshwater lakes and rivers.

Built for durability and performance, this boat is perfect for accessing heavily vegetated backwaters and shallow areas where the best fishing happens. 

How many people can go on a charter?​

Maximum number of guests is 4 (plus your Captain).

What if we would like to go longer?​

Of course!

If you’re on a charter with us and would like to extend your trip…we’ll be happy to accommodate as long as our booking calendar allows.

What Our Guests Are Saying

I can’t say enough about this guy—Guide, I mean! His passion for turkey hunting is indescribable. I had the best time with him on an Osceola turkey hunt. When the turkeys wouldn’t come in, he said, ‘Let’s go get ’em!’ I’m a bigger guy, but I followed him through the woods, crawling on my knees and belly-crawling up to the fence line. Cannon says, ‘They’re right there!’ I stand up, boom 💥—we got one flopping! He takes off to make sure the bird doesn’t get away. I’d go with him anytime, anywhere!

Client Testiomial

Cannon was incredibly professional and offered a fair price for a hog hunt on his authentic cattle ranch, not a high-fence operation. He even sent me trail camera photos leading up to the hunt and adjusted plans based on hog activity. Thanks to his guidance, I got a nice boar! I’ll definitely be back—and my wife wants to go next time!
