Your Central Florida fishing guide
About Captain Erik Tilson
Captain Erik focuses on guided freshwater trips that help guests fish Central Florida with a clear plan, the right trip length, and direct guidance on the water.
Bass fishing is the heart of the guide service
Captain Erik’s primary focus is bass fishing. His time on Central Florida waters includes both recreational fishing and tournament preparation, with an emphasis on finding fish, choosing techniques, and helping guests understand what they are seeing on the water.
Tilson’s Guide Service also offers crappie fishing trips and hands-on instruction for sonar, forward-facing sonar, and mapping. Each option is presented separately so guests can choose the trip that matches what they want to learn or catch.
