Captain Steve looked after us on an exhilarating 4-hour trip, catching a 7 lb bass. All tuition and gear, and we caught plenty of Largemouth bass. The captain looked after everyone & made us all feel welcome. four of us, including our 16-year-old son, loved it and had no previous experience.

We had a wonderful morning fishing trip with Bass Online Charters. Captain Bill was fantastic, not to mention extremely patient with us amateurs! We couldn't believe the number of fish we caught; the captain clearly knew what he was doing and consistently positioned the boat in the right locations for us to catch loads of largemouth bass. One of the highlights of the trip was a new 7 lb. PB. I can't recommend this charter enough, and a fishing trip with Capt. Bill is an absolute must if visiting Orlando.
Fantastic morning out. No need to worry about anything; just take some suitable clothing and get on the boat. All tackle is provided, and captain Steve will sort out what to put on the end of your hook. No experience necessary, as the captain will help out and show you what to do. Thoroughly enjoyable and a relaxing morning.
Had a wonderful trip. Devin was great with kids, and we caught plenty of Largemouth bass even though we were a bit early for the big BASS season. Highly recommended.
A fantastic 6-hour fishing trip with our 13-year-old. Capt. Mike are funny and really engage the kids a highlight caught 6lbs Largemouth bass: Highly recommended. I'd love to go for a full day.
Never having done lake fishing before, I took my 3 sons, and we all loved it. The fish did want to play for us. And the experience for a dad and his son was priceless. We caught 23 largemouth bass, guided by the captain, Mike. Recommend this trip for anyone for a great experience, especially for a dad and his lads. 👍👍
We booked a 6hr trip with captain Galen , booking was easy, and the captain was very helpful and gave us a really good and informative trip we caught a total of 31 Largemouth bass and 5 big bass. Would totally recommend. Thank you. return soon with family.
WOW! What an amazing fishing trip we had with Mike, who is as knowledgeable and helpful a captain as he was on a previous trip we took. We were so lucky with such flat water and a fab sunset. The children so enjoyed it and are keen to go out again as soon as you get the chance. We would highly recommend a trip out on the Butler Chain of Lakes; you really won’t be disappointed.
Great fishing trip in Orlando for our scout group. My son thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and has not stopped talking about it since. The weather conditions were beautiful, and Captain Bill gave excellent instruction throughout the 6 hr trip. We caught several largemouth bass, and everyone onboard had a fantastic time learning and fishing together. Many thanks again for such a memorable day on the water.
I recently joined another 6-hour fishing trip on the Butler Chain, and once again it did not disappoint. Captain Wayne quickly got us to the right spots and made sure we were fishing efficiently while keeping everything safe and comfortable. As someone still learning, I appreciated his guidance and patience. It was a fun and affordable way to spend time outdoors, and I’m already looking forward to my next trip out here.
During my vacation in Orlando, one of the highlights was this 6-hour bass fishing trip on the Butler Chain. As someone new to fishing, I had a fantastic time learning and catching fish. Captain Bill was incredibly helpful, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The scenery around the lakes was stunning, and the whole trip felt relaxing and exciting at the same time. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.
We booked a 6-hour fishing trip on the Butler Chain of Lakes and had an amazing time catching largemouth bass. Our captain, Steve, made the whole experience enjoyable with his knowledge and friendly attitude. He helped us every step of the way, making sure we were set up properly and having fun. After the trip, we even got to enjoy some fresh fish cooked locally, which made the day even more memorable . We caught a lots of largemouth bass (totally 25 plus) . Fishing out on the water with beautiful views and great company made it an experience we won’t forget.
Private Fishing with Captain Wayne (from Bass Online Fishing Guides) - We (myself and two children aged 10 and 12) booked onto the 6-hour fishing trip after trying our luck at the 1-hour largemouth bass fishing earlier in the week, and we are so glad we did. My boys caught at least a couple of fish, which Wayne was kind enough to descale and clean for us (we kept him busy!). After a while we moved to a different spot. The icing on the cake was taking some of the fish home and putting it on the BBQ that evening, an excellent way to end the day. We will definitely be booking this trip again next time we're in Orlando.
A brilliant trip. Devin is a superb captain. Caught some largemouth bass and fried them at home for lunch! Absolutely charming time spent on the boat.
Absolutely loved the largemouth bass fishing with Wayne. The captain is a kind guy and really knows his stuff. Can't recommend him enough, and he likes to have a laugh. Highly recommended for a fishing experience, and he was super friendly. My 3 boys and I loved it.
Great captain Wayne, who was full of knowledge and very helpful. My son and I absolutely loved it and will definitely book again, and I request please increase this trip 8 hours or half a day!!!!
Really enjoyed today’s outing, with Captain Steve diligently taking us to the best areas to fish for largemouth bass... Good news, as we came home with a lot of fat fish and made a delicious fish crumble for tea!! Thanks, Steve, for a great trip out. 😊
Great 6-hour Private fishing trip. Lots of fun even for a beginner. Love that we caught a lot of largemouth bass! Thanks, Captain Mike; we will come back again in April, the last week.
Captain Steve took 5 of us out fishing in the Butler Chain of Lakes—our lakes. Our family consisted of two 10/12-year-old boys and 3 fathers. fathers. We caught largemouth bass and had a great time. Captain Large Mouth Devin is a real character and has a very nice manner with his customers. I would thoroughly recommend this activity, and I suggest this company please make it an 8-hour trip.
We booked this trip for my son yesterday and had another wonderful time. Bill is a great captain that really makes the trips so much fun, doing a brilliant job giving us all the help and advice we need, and this year we have caught more fish than ever. Our fishing trips are a highlight of our holidays, and we're already looking forward to going out again when back in Orlando. Fantastic trip, all tackle provided and perfect for experts and beginners. Highly recommended.
A totally fabulous afternoon spent Largemouth bass fishing with captain Devin - who coped remarkably well with 2 adults and one young child. captain was Great sense of humor and patience! Sun shining, lots of Largemouth bass and laughs. A superb day out. Couldn't recommend the trip more highly! Thanks, Devin, we'll be back again for sure. If you can face us!!
We recently went on a fantastic boat trip with captain Wayne - who appears to be quite a local legend himself! He told us lots of stories and kept our young twins thoroughly occupied for the entirety of the trip. We were all delighted to leave the boat with our catch fabulous Largemouth bass which we later roasted on the BBQ. A highly recommended activity for families with children of all ages.
We chose Bass Online Fishing Guides on the basis of other TripAdvisor reviews and weren't disappointed. The weather wasn't brilliant when we went out but it was dry, which was a nice change this week. The boat is perfect to carry adults and kids and we were a party of 3 adults and 2 kids (10 & 12). We shared lines and caught our first Largemouth bass within minutes of leaving. As the trip is six hours, it was manageable with very young children even in the choppy conditions – which they loved. All up, we caught about 20+ Largemouth bass in the six hours. The captain, Devin, was very perfect on our trip; he was knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. the cheapest price and most successful fishing trip we've been on! If we'd had more time, we'd have gone out again.
Had a lovely trip on the Butler Chain of Lakes. The trip was great; the captain, Mike, was very knowledgeable, and we caught huge Largemouth bass (15+ lb). 5 out of 5 for my experience
Amazing day out fishing with Captain Steve! The boat is an absolute beast and a pleasure to be on. Steve was very experienced and incredibly knowledgeable! Great laugh and super accommodating. Caught some beautiful largemouth bass. Steve handles them incredibly well! Would highly recommend; can’t wait to come back!
5 of us went largemouth bass fishing last week, and although we caught 9+ largemouth bass, we saw lots of other fish. John was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Being able to see fish so close to the boat was extremely special, and I would like to thank the captain, John, for letting us share a truly amazing boat trip. I highly recommend Bass Online Fishing G
I booked a 6-hour family fishing trip. Great atmosphere on board. Good integration with children. Captain Devin taking around only a few minutes to reach the fishing area. Everyone on the trip caught fish. A top tip would be to take your own carrier bag to bring your fish back in. Thank you, Devin. We had a great trip.
Went on a lovely trip today; I've never been fishing before, but Galen is very helpful in what to do and when. You need support; he fully served you. Great value and would recommend again for a novice or enthusiastic angler.
We booked ourselves onto the morning 6-hour fishing trip and enjoyed it so much, thanks to Captain Galen, we decided to do it again... on the morning trip!
Really friendly people running this family business, and they made everything very simple and enjoyable. Nice few minutes out to the fishing grounds, and everybody was hooking in beautiful Largemouth bass from the minute the engine stopped. Between us we caught more than 11 fish. As we are local, I can see us doing this trip again and again and taking along visitors. Highly recommended to all.
Day out fishing, a good few species caught, including a 20 lb largemouth bass! Accompanied by lots of other fish as well! return for 6 hr again soon
Lovely large boat with plenty of space for everyone, great knowledgeable captain, and first-class service. Ideal for taking children & ideal for beginners. Highly recommend
Excellent trip out fishing with Bass Online Fishing Guides. Arrived 20 minutes early as instructed and got chatting to the other guests. A really diverse bunch. The boat wasn't overcrowded, and the staff were only too happy to help people like us who don't really know how to fish. Captain Bill was very helpful all the time, and Largemouth bass fish were all caught. Would absolutely go again!
We spent a full 8 hours on board and had an absolutely fantastic time with Devin, the captain. Worked extremely hard to get us on the fish, and some of us managed to make him look good. His knowledge is second to none. The boat is massive and easily accommodates a group of people. Plenty of top-quality fishing elements. Masses of big largemouth bass caught along. Devin’s sense of humor made the trip really enjoyable, along with his practical ability. Highly recommended.An 8-hour trip makes us enjoy
Easy to book. Captain Bill is very knowledgeable & helpful. Good-sized boat that caught plenty of largemouth bass. Great trips every time I've been out. My first choice
Fantastic sea fishing trip! Perfect for novices or experienced sea anglers. Captain Galen made it a great day out. Looking forward to the next one!
Brilliant day Largemouth bass fishing. We had 5 boats, with 1 lost, but more importantly, everyone caught. Largemouth bass were incredibly scarce, so if we'd have had more fresh bait, who knows how many fish we'd have boated. Bill is first class and really has a nose for where to find the fish!
Yet another awesome day out!! Steve was helpful and informative. We all caught largemouth bass and had a very mixed bag of species! Looking forward to our next day out. Would highly recommend!
I have had many a great trip out on Butler Chain of Lakes and have caught what I call fish of a lifetime, the latest early-season largemouth bass fishing. Steve is a very helpful captain that always tries to locate the fish.
My 13-year old son, who has autism, and his Papa booked a 6-hour fishing trip. They were the only ones on the boat (as well as the captain) and were in very capable hands! My dad is an experienced fisherman, but my son hasn't fished before; he loves the ocean and jumped at the chance to spend time with his Papa. They caught lots of largemouth bass, and the captain, Mike, was very friendly and helpful. They'll definitely be booking on again the next time they're in Orlando.
I am a regular on the lake; the reason is the captain, Devin, is very reliable and knowledgeable and works hard to put you on the fish. He is helpful, and whether you are a novice or experienced, he caters to everyone. On one of these trips I caught a largemouth bass, which broke the record for my friend circle.
An excellent 360-minute fishing trip that I would thoroughly recommend. Galen is an excellent captain. Knowledgeable, entertaining, and experienced in his trade. Even those not keen on fishing would enjoy this trip. Note for me: 6 lb Largemouth bass is not enough for me. Next time I catch a big one (12+ lb), I want to make a record. Thanks, Galen.
My son and his three friend had a fantastic time on fishing. Steve had them fishing captain and they catching fish from the start, and they couldn’t stop smiling. Perfect fresh-air activity that’s far better than computer games. We highly recommend it!
My daughter won a 3-hour fishing trip and absolutely loved it! She enjoyed learning all the aspects of fishing and can’t wait to book another trip. I’d highly recommend this to any child interested in starting their fishing journey with expert guidance.
Wayne was superb captain and attentive, making sure the kids understood all instructions. With great fishing gear and encouragement to fish independently, the children had an amazing time learning and catching largemouth bass fish. Highly recommend this experience for families!
When my boys (15 and 12) expressed an interest in fishing, I had no idea where to begin ,what equipment to use, what kind of bait, or even if we needed a license. The Fishing Experience was exactly what I was looking for! From the moment I inquired, they provided all the information I needed, and when we arrived at the lake, captain Devin and his team set us up and guided us through the whole process. It was a great six hours, and we all caught plenty of Largemouth bass. I landed a fish 11lb, while my boys caught around similar-sized fish, and my partner caught three fish. We’ll be coming back for sure, highly recommend this experience!
Our day completely exceeded expectations. Captain Devin was so attentive to everyone, while Bill added great energy and support. You can tell they both genuinely love what they do. This 6hr trip is too much memorable. We came away with plenty of fish, loads of photos, and big smiles. We’ll 100 % recommend The Fishing Experience and look forward to returning soon!
My 13-year-old daughter wanted to try fishing for the first time, and this was the perfect place. The venue was great, well stocked with fish, and easy for kids to get started.their fishing journey. A great thanks captain Steve for right guidance for fishing. We both had such a fun day and will 100% be returning.
We had the most wonderful day together. My son and I felt so relaxed, and the fishing instructor Wayne was amazing friendly, helpful, and passionate about what he does. Such a beautiful time, and we can’t wait for our next trip!
My son took part in two Fishing Experience with capt. Galen,and both were excellent. Galen, is a great fishing guide also engaging, and clearly passionate about fishing. The fishing were well-paced and suited everyone. We were especially thankful when Galen agreed to assess my son’s fishing skill.
