The shad spawn is wide open and the Big Bass are eager to eat your baits on the St Johns River.
March 29, 2019
Another crazy week of weather here in Central Florida with gale force winds and cold
fronts but we managed to make the best of it and landed many nice fish.
The artificial bite should get better as the weather straightens out.

Week of crazy weather here in Central FL but we still managed to drag some good ones over the side of the boat.
March 14, 2019
It’s been another amazing week of Bass Fishing here on the St Johns River for my clients.
We have done well on both Wild Shiners and Artificial Baits. I am completely booked through
April 3rd but I have plenty of days open in both April and May and this great fishing will
continue through the Early Summer.
March 8, 2019
Crazy week of weather with rain, wind and a major cold front passing through but we were still about to catch some very nice fish.
I have March 17 and 18 open as of today.
February 28, 2019
Lots of Trophy Bass caught again this week here on the St Johns River. Had an exciting and special morning with Bob and his wife on Wed. It took a lot of hard work to get
Bob in and out of the boat from his wheel chair. But when you catch a 9.4 and 9 pounder on a 4 hr trip. That’s just hard work paying off.
I have some days open in April and May, the shad have arrived and the shad spawn is just a few short weeks away. Also if your looking for some of the
best fishing products on the market feel free to click the 13 Fishing Direct Link at the top of this fishing report page. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks From

We have been fighting some crazy weather the past week. Cold, Rain and 25 to even 50 mph winds. We have managed to catch some nice fish but it’s been a big disappointment not being able to fish some of the better areas because of the high winds. Glad to see the weather forecast improving over the next week or so.
January 15, 2019
Starting 2019 off right with our first 10 plus pounder of the year. The big fish are up shallow and and biting. It’s a great time to catch that Trophy Bass of a lifetime here in Florida.

Been dealing with some crazy weather the past couple weeks but we’re managing to stay on some decent fish. We still have some gift certificates available for that special Christmas gift.
Oct. 7, 2018
The fall shad run has started and the fish are starting to gang up on main river shell beds. As we move forward into fall and our water temps start dropping expect some of the best fishing of the year. The topwater bite is getting better everyday.
Aug. 22, 2018
Had a great trip this morning with Mark Blakefield. We boated 75 fish in a little over four hours on artificials.
June 30, 2018
Sorry about the lack of freshwater reports. I’ve been on vacation filling our freezer with the tasty offshore species. Back to Bass Fishing next week vacation is over.
June 2, 2018
With the recent rains we are seeing higher water levels and more current which equals great summertime Bass fishing. Water temps are hot and the fish are feeding great during the early morning.
May 18, 2018
One of my regular clients Bill S was here for a five day trip this week and as you can see the fishing was unbelievable each day. I have some days in late May and June open.

Another Amazing Week Of Bass Fishing. My clients this week have all had trips of a lifetime and as Bass Challengers motto has been for decades. Making Memories that last a Lifetime.

It’s that shad spawn time of year. Get out on the water early and reap the benefits. It can be crazy that first hour of the morning. I’m booked through the 21st of May but I do have some days open the end of May and some days open in June.

The shad spawn has started and the big fish are taking full advantage of it around daylight. Artificial Bite is picking up and great things are getting ready to happen here on the St Johns River. Still have a couple days in April open and a few days in May. With the shad spawn starting late this year I’m expecting a great June and July for Trophy Bass Fishing.

My clients have had a blast the past few days catching some great Trophy Bass between 8 and 11 1/4 lbs. Clients Tommy and Bill chose to fish artificial baits an had a 5 fish limit that weighed 37 pounds topped off with a 9 3/4 and 8 1/2 pounder. My good client Kirk came close to his personal best of 12 lbs with a beautiful 11 1/4 pounder caught on a Big Wild Shiner.
Febuary 26, 2018
It’s been another good week of Bass Fishing here on the St Johns River. I have March 6th 19th and 21st open and a few days in April and May still open. As you can see the Big Bass are biting even though our weather is very hot for this time of year.
Febuary 16, 2018
Been another great week and also a special week of Trophy Bass Fishing here on the St Johns River. I actually got to spend today Friday 2/16/2018 with one of my favorite teachers from Lakeview Middle School in the early 70’s some 45 years ago Coach Steele. The warm weather seems to have the fish wanting to bite early so get out there and get em before that sun gets up.
Febuary 09, 2018
Waters heating up with all this warm crazy Feb weather, but if you get out there before the sun gets up great things can happen on your trip. Another week of big fish and happy clients.
Febuary 2, 2018
Another great week of Trophy Bass Fishing. After coming off one of the best fishing yet coldest January’s I can remember in my 37 years guiding here in Central Florida February has started off unbelievably well also here on the St Johns River. I really don’t know if the fishing can get any better then it’s been the past month but what I can tell you is, we’re fixing to find out. I have a couple days in Feb open and a few days in March. April and May are booking up fast also. Water temps have been cold and we have been using Large Wild Shiners to catch these St Johns River Bass Trophy Bass. Remember we are only minutes away from Orlando, Disney World, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach and Cocoa Beach Florida.
