Book with John
Jurassic Park Fishing Charters is here to make your next visit to Florida one to remember! Team up with Captain John Shanley who has been angling these waters for many years and start a new adventure today.
Head out on a 2022 avid 19fs bay boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This boat is powered by a Yamaha Vmax SHO engine and a wireless trolling motor. The best thing is that it takes only a few minutes to reach your fishing spot and start enjoying your trip.
Hooking Clown Knifefish, Peacock Bass, and Snakehead are Captain John's expertise but there are still a lot of extraordinary fish species that you'll be able to catch such species such as Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Hybrid Striped Bass and more. In addition to having a fantastic captain, you'll also have access to a private lake, so you won't have to worry about other anglers fishing in the same area.
The captain covers all fishing equipment but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish. There is also bottled water provided but feel free to pack your favorite snacks and beverages along with some sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats with you.
What else is stopping you from having a great time on the water?
Come fish with Jurassic Park Fishing Charters at the lake and create incredible memories with your family or friends!

Best peacock bass fishing that I have ever done. We caught at least 50 bass amongst 2 people on a 6 hour trip

Wow! This was a perfect day of fishing. My son Eli and I could not have been more pleased with Captain John and the whole charter experience. Do yourself a favor and hit him up for a charter. You won’t regret it… especially after you hook up a monster Peacock! John provides a clean boat, all the bait you could ever need, and he puts you right on the fish. He’s fun, professional and kid friendly.

My husband and I did the 6 hour charter. It was a ton of fun. We caught over 70 fish. John was really friendly and knew all the best spots. We are already planning the next trip for August.

My father and I decided to treat our son/grandson to a fishing trip, and he chose to target clown knife and peacock, with plans for MahiMahi on another occasion. For the clown knife adventure, I opted for the Jurassic experience with Captain John, who came highly recommended on Facebook, and I booked the trip through Fishing Booker. Starting with the drawbacks: John could have brought more water; it was scorching at 100 degrees, and considering my 70-year-old dad, having more water would have been beneficial. Additionally, a suggestion for improvement would be for John to invest in a better net. 😉 On the positive side, the pictures speak for themselves! Captain John had us on the fish right from the start. Our son's second catch was a clown, and John ensured we were well-baited, took memorable pictures, and proved to be an excellent fishing companion. I would unquestionably choose to fish with Captain John again. The experience of catching a 7-10lb clown, with its spectacular jumps out of the water, was truly awesome. A definite 5-star rating!

John demonstrates a high level of professionalism and remains attentive throughout the entire trip, always quick to assist with bait, nets, and capturing memorable pictures. He is not only personable but, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable, consistently guiding you to some remarkable fishing spots. The fishing experience with him is so outstanding that the poles were continuously bent throughout the entire trip! I highly recommend his services.

There's not much more I can add that hasn't already been shared by hundreds of others about Captain John. Our recent charter in the third week of October 2023 included myself and my two kids, aged 11 and 12. We successfully caught everything we were targeting—Large Mouth, Peacock, Striped Bass, and Clown Knife Fish. Captain John's expertise extends to being fantastic with kids, and he's a true master when it comes to fishing Lake Ida. We're eagerly anticipating our next fishing excursion with him and wholeheartedly recommend hiring him—100% satisfaction guaranteed!
