The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Sun-Ready

Central Florida sun is strong—bring SPF 30+ sunscreen and reapply every two hours even if the guide provides shade.

Bring Motion-Safe Snacks

The boat has a cooler and bottled water; pack low-odor, canned or sealed snacks to keep hands clean for bait and gear.

Listen During Casting Instruction

Even experienced anglers will pick up local tips—pay attention to the guide’s casting and retrieval cues to increase your hook-ups.

Prepare for Wet Decks

Wear non-slip shoes with drainage; docks and boat decks can be slick when boarding or landing a fish.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Fish the deep humps in the cool morning—larger bass often hold there before moving to flats.
  • Explore shaded docklines and back bays in late afternoon for concentrated crappie action.

Wildlife

  • Osprey
  • Great blue heron

Conservation Note

Practice catch-and-release on big bass during spawning months, and rinse gear to prevent spread of invasive aquatic species.

Lake June sits in Central Florida’s karst landscape; lakes like this shaped local settlement patterns around freshwater and fishing. Recreational angling has been a community staple for decades.
