Fishing Seasons and Techniques
The Winter Park Chain offers productive fishing year-round, but seasonal changes impact where and how we target fish:
- Summer: Expect schooling bass and explosive topwater action—perfect for artificial baits.
- Fall to Spring: Prime time for targeting trophy bass as they move shallow for spawning along grass lines and structure.
Fishing this chain successfully requires local knowledge. Capt. Christian “Goggles” stays on top of fish movement and seasonal patterns, ensuring you get the best chance at a memorable day on the water—whether you’re chasing big largemouth or simply enjoying a laid-back Orlando fishing trip.

Testimonials from Our Guests
Never fished before but felt like a pro by the end 🤣🤣🤣
See you next year sir ❤️ 🏴
We arrived for the trip at 630am and we were off within minutes. After what seemed like only a 3 minute boat ride, we were baited quickly and hooks in the water. Had our first bite within 2 minutes! We reeled in about 30 fish in 4 hours which I thought was a good showing for our crew (none of us are experienced fisherman).
Early in the trip, my 11 year old son got a little upset because he lost the first few fish that were nipping at his bait. Goggles picked up on it right away and made sure to give him some extra coaching for the rest of the day, to ensure that he had fun no matter what. My boy ended up catching more fish than anyone by days end and he was riding so high. Thank you Goggles! It’s the special touch that makes a difference and I really appreciated that.
Of you’re in the Orlando area and looking to break away from the standard Disney or Universal madness, book a fishing trip with Capt’n Goggles. You won’t be disappointed!
The man knows these waters like the back of his hand. He put me on fish immediately and kept me in the action all day—no guessing, no wasted time. We were pulling in big Florida largemouth like clockwork. He’s got top-notch gear, a super clean boat, and all the little things dialed in so you can just focus on catching fish and enjoying the moment.
Beyond the fishing, Goggles is just a great guy to be around. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a total rookie, he’ll tailor the trip to your style and make sure you leave with a smile (and sore arms).
Can’t recommend Orlando Bass Fishing Charters enough. I’ll definitely be booking another trip the next time I’m in town. Thanks for the memories, Capt. Goggles!
