Welcome

Welcome and thank you for visiting Trophy Bass Expeditions of Central Florida! We are located in Ocala, Florida around the originally proclaimed "Bass Capital of the World" section of Marion and Putnam Counties in North Central Florida. We specialize in Florida Trophy Bass Guide trips on world famous Rodman Reservoir, Oklawaha River, Orange and Lochloosa Lakes, and numerous other Ocala National Forest and Central Florida Waters.


My name is Sean Rush and I am a USCG licensed and insured Florida Trophy Bass Fishing Guide with over 20 years guiding and 30 years angling experience on these remarkable waters. My specific area of specialty comes as a Rodman Reservoir Trophy Bass Fishing Guide. While there are many wonderful fishing destinations in Florida, it is my belief that this area and Rodman Reservoir in particular, in fact offer an angler of any skill level the best chance of landing a trophy 10+ pound bass of any waterway in the continental U.S. and could arguably contend with any trophy bass destination in the world! The large number of giant Florida largemouth bass landed here annually seems unmatched. From the 17.2 lb. bass caught by a Virginia angler in 2000 which nearly clipped the official state record, to the two 16+ pound bass landed in 2009 by local guides, your next cast could literally be that fish of a lifetime! Many lakes and rivers in this great state boast a fish or two approaching this size, however fish weighing in the low to mid-teens are boated here on an annual basis. The reservoir offers the perfect combination of fishing structure, water quality, and forage species for the bass in her borders to grow to behemoth size in a relatively short period of time!


Located roughly 60 minutes north of Orlando and 45 minutes west of Daytona Beach in the heart of Florida's horse country, the area offers an Old-Florida charm and beauty unique to this area. This locale offers a relaxing and unwinding day accompanied by American Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Alligators, and too many aquatic waterfowl and fish species to list here, far removed from the noise and traffic of a bustling city. Whether in Orlando on business or vacation and looking for an Orlando Bass Guide, or in Daytona for one of the many nationally prestigous events, or just trying to decide on where to fish to catch that trophy bass of a lifetime, why not make the short trip for a truly memorable fishing experience on some of the states most pristine, spring-fed waters.

We can accommodate any size fishing parties from large multi-boat corporate trips to single anglers. Families and children are always welcome! We can assist you to arrange some of the most amazing lodging, from modern urban motels in Ocala or Palatka, to rustic lodging with breath-taking bluff views overlooking the reservoir, we can meet your needs no matter what your preference. You can also rest assured with our "No Fish-No Pay" policy that we are confident in our ability to place you on the right body of water at the right time to insure you have a memorable trip!
