I am retired and I fish year round and in many parts of America and Canada and Mexico. I have two boats but mostly use my 24ft Champion Bay boat. This boat has everything you can have on a fishing boat and is in like new condition. This year I am redoing some of the trips that I did in 2014. For the month of April I have rented a 5 star three bed room house on Beaver Lake Arkansas that I rented in 2014. I am very familiar with the lake and I have caught large stripers there on artificial lures. For the month of May and June I have rented a 5 star home in Fort Myers Florida and will be fishing for Tarpon and red fish mainly with some other species thrown in. I am looking for up to two fishermen per week at each location to join me and share my expenses. I did this last year and we all had a great time. This allows me and my friends to have a super fishing vacation at a very low price. I furnish my boat and my friends furnish the gas. We split everything else, food, guide if needed, bait if needed, maid service, etc. If you are a family or have a fishing spouse there are two bed rooms open at each location. I had great results last year and have a lot of pictures as well as links to the homes. I don't make a penny out of this but it allows me to have fabulous fishing trips.

Beaver Lake, what a wonderful trip. I fished with Jim last fall there and had a wonderful time. The cabin is absolutely beautiful with excellent accommodations. I can't wait to get back there again if I can fit it into my schedule this spring. Thanks Jim for a great experience.

I can't imagine what Fort Myers Florida fishing for Tarpon is going to be like. Being able to do it by the bridges like Bill Dance does will be a dream come true. This one is on my list.

You retired guys give Jim a call and stay as long as you like. It is a great vacation with shared expenses.

You have anything lined up in the Venice Louisiana area? That is on my bucket list.

I don't have anything at Venice but it is on my list. Florida is very nice!!

Sounds like fun. So, in general, what would be the costs for one week, per person, for the Ark trip?

If a person comes for one week to Arkansas or Florida I ask them to contribute $75 per night toward the house rental. I furnish my Champion Bay Boat and my F350 Ford to haul it around. I ask my guests to furnish the gas. Everything else we split.. Food, guide if needed, bait if needed, etc. Beaver Lake is a 6 hour drive from Dallas. I hope I have answered your question. Feel free to call me if you have more questions. Thanks Jim 214 215 7878
