Are you interested in learning how to become a better angler and catch more fish? Do you need fishing lessons for beginners? Do you want to improve your existing skills and fish like the pros? Are you new to the central Florida area and want to learn more about fishing the saltwater flats of Mosquito Lagoon, the Indian River, the Banana River, Atlantic Coast beaches, or our many local lakes? I offer one on one personal fishing lessons and fishing instruction in the Greater Orlando area. Instructional fishing charters can also be arranged to meet your needs. I have been teaching anglers how to fish at seminars, in magazine articles, and in person for over 15 years. I have more than three decades of experience in this area and I enjoy sharing the things I have learned with others.

Personal Fishing Lessons

During a one on one session, I will teach you what I have learned in over 30 years of fishing central Florida. Included in the lesson are things such as tackle selection and setup, knot tying, bait and lure selection and use, casting, tactics for different species, tactics for different seasons, fighting fish, tackle maintenance, spots to fish. Each lesson can be specifically tailored to focus on topics you select or it can cover a wide variety of material. During your fishing lesson you can learn more in one session than it could take years to learn by trial and error. All this for the cost of one trip on your own. Group lessons can also be arranged, Call or email me for more details.

Fishing Lesson Rates are $50 per hour for one person or $75 for two. All lessons will be held at a location chosen by the guide.

Instructional Fishing Charters

You may wish to have an instructional fishing charter on my boat. During this trip, we would focus on the above topics and apply them in actual fishing situations. While I will be happy to show people general areas to fish and what times of year to fish them, these charters may not be used to mark all my fishing spots on a GPS. The cost for an instructional fishing charter is the same as for a normal guided trip. See my fishing charter rates page for details.

Fly Fishing Lessons

Fly casting and Fly Fishing Lessons are available on a per hour basis. I am an International Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor.
