Book with David
My name is David “Paycheck” Pechacek. The nickname "Paycheck" comes from my tournament fishing buddies, after years of always having a knack for coming at the top of the leaderboard! So come spend a day on the water with the most popular fishing guide in Orlando! I'm a US Coast Guard Certified Captain, Licensed and Insured here in the great state of Florida. I offer freshwater and saltwater guide trips in and around the Orlando area with my focus on Lake Tohopekaliga in Orlando FL and other smaller lakes in the Orlando metropolitan area. The saltwater trips I offer to clients are in a very special place called Mosquito Lagoon which is in the Titusville area. I even offer "Special" Rocket Launch trips! Where you get to see a rocket launch from the water! If fishing is not your thing, I offer wildlife tours!
I come from a small midwest town in Minnesota. Where the dandelions grow wild, thunderstorms rumble in the summer & winters are unbearably cold. I always knew that fishing was going to be a big part of my life. Little did I know that it would eventually consume all my energy-day in and day out since I was a child. I’ve fished tournaments for the past 16 years and in my 20's I decided to take my fishing to the next level; going from local club tournaments to fishing bigger tournaments all across the country all in hopes of achieving my childhood dream of becoming a professional bass fisherman-a BASSMASTER. Now for the past 6 years, I have decided to shift my focus to being a full-time fishing guide in the Orlando and central Florida area. I want to share my same passion for fishing and the outdoors with everyone I meet. I want to give everyone that same feeling they always had as a kid when they first decided to throw out a line.
Hop on a 20’ Ranger boat that accommodates up to 3 guests. This bass boat is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. Your main targets for the day are Largemouth Bass but you can also encounter Amberjack, Redfish, Carp and more! Switch between different techniques and see which one works best for you- light or heavy tackle, spinning, trolling & jigging.
Your captain will take care of all the fishing equipment you’ll need for the day. Don’t forget to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.
Let's enjoy the wildlife, catch some fish, and spend some quality time with your loved ones. Let's make some memories that last a lifetime! David Paycheck Fishing Charters is here to make it happen.

Relaxed and fun experience with David. Caught a couple really nice Bass. 10/10 would recommend.

This was without a doubt the highlight of our family vacation to the Orlando area. Captain was by far the most patient instructor. It was my child’s very first bass fishing experience, and now he has unreasonable fishing expectations. He will always hope for catching 20 bass as well as fish much larger than that. Overall it was fun!

This was my second excursion with David, the first on which I had extremely high expectations. He surpassed all my goals a second time. The size and number of fish he was able to set me up for was the biggest I've experienced outside of other services. Fishing was 10 10. Fishing's tranquilizing effect aside, David is such an awesome person.

I recently had the most amazing fishing experience in the most beautiful regions of Florida I've ever seen! I was in a rush and triumphantly forgot my old gear and equipment, so it was cool to relax. Dave had me covered. I saw the biggest snook and caught the biggest Sheepshead! Highly recommended

Fishing Captain Dave is more like fishing with a buddy than with a charter, but you catch a lot of fish!! We caught about 45 Bass in 4 hours!! A few in the 4-pound range and 1 6-pounder. Dave went above and beyond to find the fish as his normal fishing hole went cold (all done before the trip) and he hit a home run!! 45 Bass in 4 hours and we did not move once. My 15-year-old son is a very hyper individual with a short attention span, and has his phone calls in his face all the time while fishing with Dave; he stayed focused for four hours (he caught a 6-pounder as the final fish of the day at the four-hour mark), when we got back to my car, I asked him if he had his phone on the boat. We kept Dave busy for the full 4 hours with all the fish we caught and he was always right alongside us to aid! Net the fish, get off the hook, take a photograph, and put on a new shiner. He was very quick at them all! The only time I had to wait was if he was helping my son because we both caught fish at the same time. Poor Dave didn't have a second to slack off. I would highly recommend Dave to everyone!!

We had a wonderful day out on the water with Captain David. He helped us find fish, and we had a whale of a time. He made my 2 sons, ages 12 and 7, feel relaxed and was an excellent teacher to them. We had some laughs, caught a lot of fish, and caught a 300-pound bass. David is a fine and reputable Captain who knows what he's doing. The two boys must have asked him over 100 questions, and he stepped in to answer everything.
