From start to finish, Justin made the trip an excellent experience. I wanted to learn more about bass fishing, and I walked away with both big fish and practical tips I can use back home. He didn’t hesitate to take me out despite the rain—and the bite was worth it. The boat had plenty of space and was fully rigged with everything needed for a solid day on the water. Justin put us on a productive spot where we caught lots of bass, a hefty catfish, and a giant crappie. I asked a ton of questions—about lures, weather, fish behavior—and Justin broke it all down clearly and patiently. He even let me bring and use my own gear, which I appreciated. Next time I’m in Orlando, I’m booking again with Makin’ Big Bass Memories. Great guide and a great day on the water.

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.

Justin is an outstanding guide—easy to talk to and incredibly knowledgeable about bass fishing. He was attentive throughout the trip, baiting our lines, setting up our reels just how we liked, and even keeping an eye out for bites. My son landed several fish thanks to Justin putting us on a solid spot and coaching him on when to set the hook. I caught my personal best 5-pound bass because Justin noticed I missed the first strike and told me to open the bail and let the fish take another look—sure enough, it hit again just like he said. If you’re looking for a top-notch bass charter, this is it. You won’t regret booking with Justin.

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!

We had an incredible experience with Justin. From the start, it was clear he’s not only an expert angler but also genuinely passionate about what he does. He made my son feel welcomed and excited, and his patience and step-by-step guidance were exactly what we hoped for. The highlight of the day? My son catching his very first bass! The smile on his face said it all. Justin took the time to explain the techniques, making it about more than just the fish—it was about learning and building confidence. Justin went above and beyond to make the trip fun, educational, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a guide who cares about both the catch and the experience, Makin’ Big Bass Memories is the way to go. We’re so thankful for the time on the water and can’t wait to book another trip!

Absolutely amazing trip, the guide Justin was amazing. Best charter and experience. Thank you so much, looking forward to another trip.
