Book Your Trip Today With Johnny
Ready to experience the ultimate freshwater fishing adventure in Central Florida? Captain John Jukas is here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're planning a relaxing day on Lake Tarpon or exploring one of the many other premier fishing spots, we're here to help you book the perfect charter.
Location
We operate out of Central Florida, with a focus on top freshwater fishing destinations including Lake Tarpon, Lake Toho, Winter Haven Chain, and more. Specific meeting locations will be provided upon booking confirmation.
FAQs
What should I bring?
Please bring a valid Florida fishing license, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and weather-appropriate clothing. Don't forget a camera to capture your catches!
What is provided?
All fishing equipment, bait, and a cooler with drinks and snacks are included in your trip.
Can I customize my trip?
Absolutely! We're happy to tailor your charter to meet your preferences and skill level.
How does the deposit work?
A 50% deposit holds your date once John confirms it. The deposit is non-refundable.
What if the weather turns?
Weather and acts of God — a hurricane, lightning, a storm — are the one exception: your trip is rescheduled at the captain's convenience, or turned into a gift certificate. There are no refunds, and a booking can't be transferred except as a gift certificate.
Do we keep the fish?
No — every bass goes back. A trophy is measured and released, and John can arrange a fiberglass replica mount through the Florida fish commission.
How many people can come?
Private charters are for 1 to 2 people, with availability for a 3rd. Bigger groups and corporate outings go out on more than one boat.
When is the best time to go?
Florida bass bite all year. December through March is the busiest stretch, so book those dates early.
