Bob Stonewater’s Trophy Bass Guide Service
DeLand, Florida · Fishes St. Johns River, Suwannee River
Bob Stonewater’s Trophy Bass Guide Service works out of DeLand and treats the St. Johns River as its home water, describing it as the longest river in Florida at 310 miles. The same operation rotates through Rodman Reservoir, Lake George, Lake Monroe, Lake Russo, the Stick Marsh and a private farm pond, and it prices trips to the Suwannee River as a separate premium destination at 600 dollars plus bait. Standard river days are nine hours at 500 dollars or five hours at 350 dollars, again plus bait, with 100 dollars for an extra angler. Wild shiners run 30 to 35 dollars a dozen and the service brings plenty aboard but bills only for what gets used. One or two anglers fish from a standard guide boat, while pontoon boats are brought out for families and larger groups, and the operation states that it can accommodate anglers with disabilities. Tackle is furnished whether the day is fished on live bait or on artificials.
