Orlando Fall Bass Action: Suwannee & Smallmouth on the Bite

One for the books today! Matt and their crew joined us for a fall morning adventure starting early morning under partly cloudy skies here in Orlando, FL. The weather stayed comfortable throughout our time on the water, making for perfect conditions to get after some bass. This was our 4 Hour Guided Trip with Captain Justin on Central Florida Lakes with Makin Big Bass Memories! Once the stage was set, we focused our efforts on bass fishing using a mix of casting and bait fishing techniques. Matt and their crew connected with some solid Suwannee Bass and Smallmouth Bass throughout the morning. Orlando's lake system is perfect for this type of fishing - the structure and cover give these bass plenty of places to hold, and our techniques really shine in these waters. We wrapped up cruisin' the flats with bent rods and tight lines all around! The bite was hot today and it reminded me why I love guiding trips like this in gator country. These Central Florida lakes continue to produce quality bass fishing year after year. Matt and their crew worked hard and it paid off with some memorable catches that'll have them talking for weeks. If y'all are thinking about getting out on the water for some serious bass action, Orlando offers some of the best lake fishing in Central Florida. Our Florida Morning Bass Fishing Charter puts you right in the heart of prime bass habitat where casting and bait fishing techniques consistently produce results. Whether you're after Suwannee Bass or Smallmouth Bass, these lakes hold plenty of both species. I run these 4 Hour Guided Trips because they give us enough time to really work the productive areas and put you on fish. The fall months are excellent for bass fishing here in Orlando, and with our local knowledge of these lake systems, we can get you hooked up with some quality bass. Give us a call at Makin Big Bass Memories to book your next bass fishing adventure - the backcountry lakes are waiting and the bass are ready to play!

This was the first charter trip for my son and me, and it couldn’t have gone better. Justin made everything easy from the start—clear instructions on where to meet, a smooth boarding process, and we were off to the first spot. Within minutes, I was reeling in my first fish of the day! As someone new to fishing, I really appreciated Justin’s help with casting while my son—the real fisherman in the family—was already in his element. I caught bass back-to-back, followed by my very first pickerel and gar—species I had never even heard of before. Such a cool and exciting moment! We took tons of photos and videos, and Justin kept cold bottled water on hand for us. The second spot had calmer water and a whole new mix of wildlife. Justin shared all kinds of info about the local birds, and we learned so much throughout the day. Using live bait was new to me too, since my son usually sticks with frogs and lures. The highlight? My son landed his personal best—a bass around 5 pounds and 21 inches. He was beyond proud. Time flew, and we honestly didn’t want the day to end. After wrapping up, we chatted a bit at the dock before heading back to the hotel. Whether you're new or experienced, Justin is the guide you want. We had a blast and can’t wait to book again. Thanks, Justin—you’ll definitely see us back!

Justin is the MAN!! He knows the lake like the back of his hand. I’ve never caught so many fish in 1 outing.I felt 100% safe with Justin. He’s very knowledgeable, patient, and polite. You won’t regret booking with Justin.

Justin knows his bass! We hit multiple spots and tried a variety of rigs—got on fish fast and caught plenty. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched the day to my experience level. I picked up some great new tips and techniques along the way. Easygoing, knowledgeable, and great to fish with. I had an awesome time on the water with Justin.
