Do you Guarantee Fish?
No, we
do not guarantee that you will catch fish. There really is no reason to
do that. This is a marketing tactic by other " GUIDES " to get you to
feel warm and cozy about booking your trip with them. What we do
guarantee is that you will have ample opportunity to catch fish and have
a memorable time doing it.
back to questions
Where do you fish?
We
fish in the best Trophy Bass lake in Central Florida and the premier
saltwater fishing location in southwest Florida Boca Grande.
back to questions
Do you Supply Tackle?
I provide top quality
tackle for your use from my sponsors. I take all responsibility for my
equipment's maintenance and proper use. However, I do not assume
responsibility when it is abused / neglected, you do. All baits,
lures, specialty flies are included for your use. Live bait
appropriate. You may also bring your own , please indicate that
before our trip.
back to questions
Is lunch Included in Our
Trip?
No, we do offer ice, water, and soft drinks and snacks like crackers,
and cookies included with your trip. If you want to have lunch, we can
stop at a sandwich shop on the way, or grab something at one of the
marina's in the area at lunch. Most places we fish have a restaurant on
the water. Or you may bring your own.
back to questions
Can we use artificial lures
instead of live bait?
Yes, we always let you make
that decision. We do provide all the lures for the fishing that we do,
however, If your goal is to catch a large trophy fish, we will recommend
live bait in some cases. Our main goal is to help you reach yours. Be
that live bait, or artificial lures. Yes, we always let you make that
decision. We do provide all the lures for the fishing that we do,
however, If your goal is to catch a Large Trophy, we will recommend live

back to questions
Do you offer
discounts for multiple day trips?
Yes, if you make a reservation for more than 3 days of fishing with us,
we will discount it for you. Please call for more information about the
discounts that can be applied to multiple day trips.
back to questions
Do you
offer Corporate or large group trips?
Yes, A Fishing Connection specializes in large groups. We have
experience in handling groups that need as many as 50 boats.
back to questions
What
do we need to bring?
I suggest that you dress for
the conditions. A baseball type cap, polarized sunglasses, loose light
colored clothing in summer, non-marking soled shoes, warm clothing for
spring and fall. Camera, drinks (in bags) and favorite snacks / food.
I have a cooler with bottled water / ice on board. Beer is okay, when
it gets out of hand the trip is over. Your safety and my license are to
important to jeopardize or lose.
back to questions
Our
level of experience?
You do not need to be an
expert. Often we fish for specific species and use advanced techniques,
we have fun and I provide instruction and help while we fish. It's your
day and I will do all that I can to make it enjoyable and catch you the
fish we are after. I do appreciate the opportunity to be your guide on
your day of fishing.
back to questions
Do we
need fishing licenses?
Freshwater Fishing licenses are no longer being sold at
our local bait shops. You can get your license by calling toll free
1-888-347-4356. or you may purchase

Florida
License.
For Saltwater fishing
the Captains license provides for your daily fishing charter.
back to questions
Do you
fish with or allow children on the boat?
Yes, yes
and yes.
I have the best time and they usually catch all the fish. While we are
sometimes after specific species of fish they do not care as long as
they are catching something. Please, for safety it is very important to
limit the age. I have a minimum age of 7 years of age, however, I do
make exceptions as can be seen in our captured memories / photo album.
I help them fish, you are the parent, so please for safety, their
memories and enjoyment I ask that you control them at all times.
