Rodman Reservoir has legendary status for the number of trophy bass it has produced over the years ever since it was created. It has been consistently ranked with the state of Florida as one of the top ten best bass lakes in the country. Let’s explore Rodman the swamp, historic extension of the St Johns River just east of downtown Gainesville, FL. View its creatures in their natural habitat while experiencing the thrill of fishing trip. Birds and Alligators flourish in the abundance of vegetation making it a bird watcher's heaven and a photographer’s paradise, but for anglers it’s truly both! So grab your hat, sunglasses and cell phone to take pictures. All you have to do is step on board, cast a pole and wait for the tug on the other end! Bring your family along for a fishing adventure of a lifetime! Our travelers also enjoyed a day in the Butterfly Rainforest, Florida Museum of Natural, or the University of Florida Bat House!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the fishing trips at Rodman Reservoir?

A: There's no strict age limit for the fishing trips! Families are welcome, and kids generally have a blast. Just make sure younger children have adult supervision on the boat. It’s a great way to introduce them to fishing and nature!

Q: What should we wear for the fishing trip? Is it all day outdoors?

A: Dress comfortably! Lightweight clothing is best, and definitely wear a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. You might be on the water for several hours, so bring a light jacket just in case it gets chilly in the morning. Flip-flops are fine, but closed-toe shoes are safer.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they reschedule?

A: Good question! They usually monitor weather conditions closely. If it looks unsafe, they’ll reschedule your trip without any extra charges. Just make sure to call them as soon as you can if the weather looks sketchy on your booked day.

Thinking about gifting a fishing trip at Rodman Reservoir!

I want to surprise my dad with something memorable for his birthday, and I’m considering the Rodman Reservoir fishing trip. He loves fishing and I heard it’s a great spot for bass! I read that you can see alligators and cool birds too. What’s the best time of year to go? Any tips for making the day special?

We just did the Rodman Reservoir fishing trip!

OMG, it was such an amazing experience! My friends and I spent the whole day out there, and we caught so many bass. The guide was super knowledgeable and made it so much fun. Plus, we saw a bunch of alligators sunbathing! I highly recommend this for anyone who loves the outdoors.
