Question Guided Fishing Trip Fishing On Lake Sumter

I want to book a trip on Lake Sumter for January or February. The way it works, you register and must pay $ 250 upfront. No way to sign up as the second, third or fourth person on the boat. It will be my responsibility to find 3 other people, or I go out alone with the guide and shell out $ 250.

So, I need to find 2 or 3 other fishermen or fisherwomen that are interested in sharing the cost with me. I would hope to go 1/14, 1/21, 2/11 or 2/25. The cost would be $ 250 divided by 2, 3 or 4.

Any interest, and if so, which of those dates (any or all) work for you???

Also, if anyone has done this in the past, how was your experience???

I’ll see your $250 for that Lake Sumter trip and throw in a counter-offer for a three-day fishing junket on the Gulf of Nebraska. Tarpon and carp.

(PS…as far as I know fishing is NOT allowed on Lake Sumter. Thought you might want to know that….)

I would be interested in joining you if you can get two others to fill the boat. In my opinion the latest proposed date would most likely result in the highest probability of lots of bent fishing poles as the bite is typically better when the weather warms up. Send me a PM.

Large mouth bass, sun fish, blue gills and catfish. All fish must be released.

That is for 4 people and includes equipment and bait. My husband thinks it's reasonable. He is going for his 5th time on Saturday.
