Great Day Guide Service

The business runs as a one captain outfit out of 260 County Road 207A in East Palatka, at the north end of Putnam County where the river widens toward Palatka. No second captain, shop, dock or rental side is listed; the operation is the guiding and nothing else. Its working range covers the river and Rodman Reservoir on the Ocklawaha, which gives an alternative when wind or water level makes the main river difficult. Guided nature and eco tours are sold alongside fishing, quoted by the length and type of tour rather than at a fixed rate, which suits families and photographers who are not there to fish. Booking terms are old fashioned: no deposit is required to hold a date, and payment is taken in cash or by check on the day.
