Are you looking for a professional guide service in the Orlando or Central Florida area?
Captain Mick guides bass anglers year-round on two of the best fisheries in North America! He has over 40 years of experience fishing the legendary northern waters of Lake Champlain, and nearly 35 years fishing the most productive inland bass waters of Central Florida.
He knows that the best time to target trophy Florida strain Largemouth Bass is around the spawn, from mid-December through March. That's why Bassmasters and the FLW hold major tournaments in Florida during these prime months, and that's why Captain Mick makes his annual pilgrimage to Florida during the winter.
He also knows the optimal patterns to bring fish to the boat. Wild shiners are great but they're expensive and other guides insist you pick up the cost. Most of Mick's clients prefer using artificial baits. They enjoy the challenge of enticing a monster bass to inhale a jig, t-bone a spinner bait, or crush a topwater offering.
Mick patiently guides all anglers regardless of their skill level. Join Captain Mick Maynard, you'll be rewarded with an exciting day of fishing with a seasoned pro.

John Lakatos5.0VerifiedGreat fishing with Captain Mick
Special 12 hour trip for John Lakatos on March 7, 2025 • 1 adultHot day on the Harris Chain and Captain Captain Mick put me on fish right from the start. He gave me some tips on the seasonal patterns that have been working well and I did my part, catching 15 beautiful Florida bass and landing a solid 5 pounder for my biggest. Thanks Captain Mick!
Holly Souders5.0Florida fishing with Captain Mick.
6 Hour Trip on December 10, 2023I’ve fished several times over the past year, In Florida and Lake Champlain with Captain Mick Maynard. He’s taught me a number of successful techniques fishing artificial baits.Species I’ve caught with him include Florida strain lg. mouth bass, bowfin, pickerel, crappie. On lake Champlain I caught smallmouth bass, largemouth bass,and northern pike. Mick is patience, knowledgeable and professional.
