What people are saying.

  • We used Tilson Guide Service with Capt Erik Tilson for some fishing . My 2 boys and I flew from Hawaii and the one activity my son Memphis wanted to do was catch a bass . Capt Erik took our reservation last minute and booked us the very next morning . We meet at sunrise on lake Tohopekaliga and within minutes on a quick boat ride he took us all to a secret spot and in no time we caught our very first bass . I think any other guides wouldn’t have had us catch fish as fast as Capt Erick . Being a local fisherman who grow up in the area fishing with his grandfather & the years of knowledge of the area prevailed . Every location on the lake he took us we caught fish. Truly an amazing experience & memory my boys and myself will remember forever. We will definitely be calling Tilson Guide Service every trip to Kissimmee to fish . Mahalo from Hawaii the Moore Ohana

  • “Big fish and great service. Professional service with the client in mind. Capt Erik was a notch above with his communication, knowledge of the lake, and ability to locate fish. Great equipment and set-up made the trip that much better. If you can get him, book him.”

  • “Captain Erik Tilson has found his groove as a stellar fishing guide out on Lake Toho and the surrounding fisheries. There aren’t enough superlatives to cover this guy, but I’ll hit the high notes: showed up early to hotel with boat in tow, put us on the big fish and was patient enough to show my boys how to catch them on artificial bait, extremely safe but drove fast enough to blow the boys’ hair back, and most of all Erik made sure we all had a memorable experience on our vacation.”

  • “To say the least the guided trip with Captain Erik was by far the best one that I have ever been on so good we went 2 days. The man knows what he’s doing! I have been on lots of guided ocean fishing trips but the trip that I had with Captain Erik by far tops all of those ocean trips combined! Coming from fishing everyday in west Kentucky on “Kentucky an Barkley lake’s” we do not get to see over 100 bass that were all over 3 pounds in 2 days very often. Especially ones up to 7+ pounds! I go to central Florida pretty often and from now on every time I will be going fishing with Captain Erik Tilson. Unbelievable trip! Lake Toho and Captain Erik will have you satisfied 100%!”

  • “Best fishing experience of my life! Stayed on big bass all day, as in caught 50+ bass, and posted a 30+ pound bag, in 4 hours. Would 10/10 recommend going multiple times during your time in Orlando.”

  • “Holiday makers, fishermen, golfers, why not try big mouth bass fishing. Whilst on holiday in Davenport Florida my grandson asked can we go fishing, we booked Captain Eric for our trip, talk about being lucky we couldn’t have booked a better or more knowledgeable guide, the boat was superb the live bait (gold shiners) irresistible for the big mouth bass the photos below speak for themselves. For Harvey and myself this was the best day of our holiday.”
