Boats and Equipment

Florida crappie fishing is done in comfort and safety from a 18 - 20 foot fully rigged bass boat or 18 - 20 foot airboat. All boats have a ice cooler for food and soft drinks, livewell and plenty of storage which will make your day an enjoyment. All guide boats are also equipped with VHF Marine Radio and/or Cellular Phone. U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD's for each person are carried as required by law.

Here's Captain Ron's 2006 Diamondback 20 foot custom crafted airboat.

This one of a kind huge airboat on Lake Okeechobee is powered by a 496 cubic inch GM Levitator 8.1 HO fuel in-jected motor that has a horse power ranting of 425 - 450 hp. A CH 2.1 gear reduction box that turns a 3 blade ultra wide Q series Sensenich propeller 4800 rpm and a custom built stainless steel exhaust system makes this airboat the quietest airboat you will ever ride in.
I have not to date had a client ask for ear plugs!
Custom built into the deck is a large insulated livewell and cooler. There are also 7 other large built in below deck and 2 under the seat storage compartments. A custom installed 80 lb. trust Minn-Kota trolling motor, 2 front mounted fishing seats, a 6 foot bench seat and full walk around deck make fishing from this airboat a true pleasure. A fold down bimini top is an added pleasure of providing shade and rain protection during a party's fishing trip.

Things To Bring

Rain gear, camera, sun screen, cap and other such items. A light or ultra light action spinning rod and reel combo spooled with 6 - 8 pound test line, jigging pole with 6 - 8 lb. test line, jigs (assorted colors), beetle-spins (assorted colors) 1/16 - 1/64 oz., small (quarter size) bobbers, small size # 6 or 8 hooks, small size split shots and a 50 to 60 quart cooler for keeping your fish in. All guide fishing boats have a ice cooler storage compartment for soft drinks and food. Ice for the guide boat food and soft drinks cooler as well as the fish holding cooler can be purchased locally. Rods and reels as well as terminal tackle (hooks, floats, weights, etc.) are furnished free of charge by Ron's Guide Service. We provide artificial lures on a you replace it if you loose it basis. We do not provide live bait. Live bait can be purchased locally.

Seasonal Weather

Winter's general day temperature is 75 degrees. Nights and mornings are cool to cold. Late spring and early fall days are in the 80's. Summer days range in the 80's - 90's. Rainfall during the winter, early spring and late fall is slight. Brief afternoon showers are common in late spring, throughout the summer and early fall. Guides fish "rain or shine and under all weather conditions". Rain gear is a must bring item. If you are fishing during the winter months, be sure to bring some warm clothing with you -- it can get quite cold at times.
Hopefully bad weather does not interfere with your reserved fishing trip. We do not offer rain checks or a refund in the event a party is not able to fish due to bad weather conditions. We have no control over the weather and therefore we cannot be responsible for the disruption of your trip due to bad weather. Please bring rain gear with you. If bad weather moves in the decision to leave is up to the guide.
