Serving the greater Orlando FL, Kissimmee FL areas we bring the boats to the ramp, meet and greet you, take care of safety gear and boat operation. Once all is complete and you leave the dock your time starts, and we meet you back at the dock at the end of your rental.
We primarily serve The Butler Chain of Lakes in Windermere just outside of Orlando FL. The ramp location is a beautiful facility – R.D. Keene Park with accommodations and free parking. The lakes are home to celebs and billionaires with mansions like The Palace Of Versailles as well as clear water for swimming and tubeing.
GREAT SWIMMING, FISHING, TUBING!
Butler Chain of Lakes:
The Butler Chain of Lakes was formed as a result of a typical Florida occurrence known as topography which happens with others as the Conway Chain of lakes. The earths bottom called limestone, which underlies most of Florida, was slowly dissolved by water to form sinkholes. A series of sinkholes that formed over time produced the sparkling, pristine Butler Chain of Lakes. Many areas within the lakes can be as deep as 30 to 40 feet. The chain of lakes, Down, Wauseon Bay, Butler, Louise, Isleworth, Tibet-Butler, Chase, Blanche, Sheen, Pocket, and Fish, have been designated by the Department of Environmental Regulation of the State of Florida as “Outstanding Florida Waters” due to their excellent water quality and wildlife habitat.
Consisting of clear water, deep ledges, visible and submerge vegetation, the Butler chain offers a wide variety of lure options as well as year round fishing. Schooling bass are found almost year round allowing for exciting top water action at times. Finesse techniques are also excellent choices, that are used for water that can be clear enough to see 10 ft deep on a sunny day. Techniques used for finesse fishing can be drop shot, wacky rigging for artificial fishing and shiners or shad for livebait among others.

Best times to fish the Butler chain are from October through May. This time of the year offers quality size bass in the 3-8lb range and good numbers of fish caught each day. Boat traffic can be difficult on weekends, but the cooler winter temperatures keep recreational boaters to a minimum.
Although, live bait can be used on this chain, it is a very popular Orlando fishing locations for artificial because of the wide variety of techniques available to catch pre-spawn, spawning and post spawn bass. This chain is excellent for anglers from the North and from Japan who are accustomed to deep clear water while using spinning tackle with light line. Another plus is the location of the chain which is located just minutes from Disney and Universal Studios.
The Butler Chain of Lakes covers almost 5000 acres. It's 13 lakes are linked with narrow canals that weave through the Spanish Moss covered Cypress Trees. Flora and fauna abound as the canals lead into the picture perfect lakes.
