Captain
Drew Eaton
A Central Florida local, Capt. Drew Eaton grew up on the water and has spent more than 20 years learning what it takes to consistently find and catch quality largemouth bass. From an early age, fishing the lakes and backwaters of Central Florida gave Drew an understanding of the seasonal patterns, conditions and small details that often make the difference between simply fishing and putting fish in the boat. Over the years, that experience has led to dozens of trophy bass and a lifelong connection to the local fishery. Today, Drew enjoys sharing that knowledge with anglers of all experience levels and helping guests make the most of their time on the water. His goal is simple: put you on fish and give you a great day of Orlando bass fishing.
