Kissimmee Bass Fishing (FLA)

[Stoty]

Hey everyone,

 

With all the stuff that's happening in my life right now (separation, mother deathly ill with cancer, etc) I'm thinking about taking a (solo) trip down to Florida from Dec 19-23ish to get in some bass fishing to hopefully clear my head out a bit!

 

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a certain place/business where I could rent a (decent) boat for a few days, and try my luck.

I have done the whole guide thing before (see my Avatar picture), and even though its amazing, its also quite pricey.

 

Ideally I would be able to rent a boat myself for 2-3 days for the price it would cost me to get a guide for one.

 

Any help is much appreciated!

Hit up the Martin family's marina.

There are some cheap salt water alternatives on the Gulf Side. You can surf fish for free on the beach and maybe hook into a monster snook, redfish, shark, mackerel, sea trout etc. or you can take a head boat deep sea fishing for app. $70-80 for a full day trip and hook into some grouper and snapper.

 

Send me a PM if you need any surf fishing tips.

 

Good luck!

Clewiston is nowhere near Kissimmee.

I've been to the Martin Marina it wasnt what I expected.

My Uncle used to live in Florida and went out a couple of times with these guys:

He said he had a blast, I have yet to go down there and try Kissimme myself.
