Embark on an Unforgettable Fishing Adventure

Spend a fun, hands-on day on the water targeting Florida largemouth bass and a variety of hard-fighting panfish with Rip A Lip Guides. Fishing out of Putnam County, you’ll explore some of the most productive fisheries in the state, including the St. Johns River, Rodman Reservoir, and Orange Lake—waters known for both trophy bass and high-volume panfish action.

Trips are designed around your goals, offering both wild shiner fishing for largemouth bass and artificial lure trips for anglers who want a more hands-on, technique-driven experience. For those looking for steady action and a great time on the water, panfish trips provide nonstop bites and are perfect for families, kids, or anyone wanting to fill the cooler and bend rods all day.
