This was our 3rd year out in the Winter Haven Chain in Aug., and once again we (2 dads and 3 kids) had a great time. It was an awesome day; we caught a lot of Largemouth bass guided by Capt. Bill. We also caught some big bass. I truly caught and released fish, just not on a trip; it's fresh in my mind. Thoroughly recommended.

I have been with Captain Bill and the Bass Online team a couple of times now with my son for big bass and 8 hr fishing trips. Bill is an excellent captain and provides a knowledgeable and entertaining time when you are on board. Both trips have resulted in lots of fun and lots of largemouth bass, and I will be booking with Bill again as soon as I can... Thanks...
We have been on the Winter Haven Chain a few times now and will be back again for more. Bill the Captain never fails to make sure our trip is memorable. My husband, son, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law cannot recommend this fishing trip enough. From a 4-hour BASS trip to a 6-hour trip, it is a fantastic experience. Capt is so helpful with his wealth of experience. See you again soon. This is one of the highlights of our holiday.
My family of five had a fantastic fishing trip today with captain Reno. We were complete novices to fishing but guided through each step. We even caught 16+ bass. I would recommend this trip to families wanting to try fishing.
OMG...what an amazing time my daughter and I had. Capt. Bill was great. Friendly and very helpful with great knowledge of the water. Safe trip with lots of Largemouth bass caught. Furthermore, I caught a BIG one (6.5 lb). Cheers, guys.
Husband and son went today for Private fishing and absolutely loved every minute! A lot of fish were caught! Would HIGHLY recommend doing this !
Eight of us went out fishing near Winter Haven for almost 6 hr and had an amazing time together. Captain Reno was excellent, very informative, and kept the atmosphere fun all day long. when we arrived, making everything simple and stress-free. We caught a lot of largemouth bass throughout the trip, and everyone in our group had a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day fishing in Florida.
Very enjoyable. Captain Bill was very helpful, and as a couple of us were novices, he was supportive all around. Caught some lovely Largemouth bass. Would recommend this trip. We will be booking up this trip again.
My family had such a great experience fishing in Winter Haven that after our first 4 hr trip, we immediately booked another longer trip. Captain Reno was fantastic during both outings and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everything was organized perfectly, and we caught plenty of largemouth bass during our time on the lakes. We were treated so kindly throughout the whole experience, and it turned into one of the highlights of our vacation..
Went out on the lakes with Bill on a summer trip. We headed out under clear skies to a great fishing area, and everyone started with high expectations. It did not take long before we were catching largemouth bass consistently. One angler focused on bigger fish and was rewarded with an impressive catch. Another guest landed a couple of really nice bass as well. It was a fantastic trip and a great way to finish my vacation. This is why I always book here, experience really makes a difference. Not every trip is like this, but that is fishing. Thanks again Bill, see you soon.
I do not usually write reviews but this was the best 4 hours of fishing I have had. Reno was fantastic during the trip. Their advice, equipment, and fishing spots were all top quality. It was a great experience, especially seeing them help kids get involved and catch fish. We caught a lots of largemouth bass and had an amazing time. Very glad we chose this trip, worth every penny.
A friend and I planned a weekend getaway with two goals, fishing and relaxing locally. We booked in advance and headed out on a beautiful summer morning. We were greeted by Bill, and soon after we set off on our trip. Within 20 minutes we had our catching largemouth bass of different sizes. Bill was excellent, guiding both beginners and more experienced anglers, and he always knew the right spots. The action continued throughout the trip,. Looking forward to the next outing.
My wife and I went for a fishing trip with Captain Reno. When you are in the neighborhood of Florida and planning on doing a largemouth bass fishing trip. Choose Bass Online Fishing Guides! We had 6 magnificent hours at the water. Reno was very friendly and humorous and made my wife enthusiastic for fishing. He prepared our catch, mine 15 and my wife's 8, the minute we came home at the campsite. Their taste was wonderful. Never ate such fresh fish. What more do you need? Good weather, good company, and a lot of laughter. Thank you very much, Reno! This was one of the highlights of our holiday!
Firstly, Reno is a true gent and a very knowledgeable captain. Not only do you get plenty of tuition on his 6-hour fishing trip in the fantastic Winter Haven Chain Fishing, but you also get years of local knowledge and the history of the fishing over. I wouldn't think twice about doing this trip again; everyone on the boat caught largemouth bass, and Reno is more than happy to gut and fillet your catch for you.
Bill is a fishing legend in Florida. He is smart, funny, and caring that all people on his boat have a great time and catch a lot of largemouth bass fish. He is a friendly guy. The cost was great and very good value for money. We came home with lots of fish, and we just cooked up the largemouth bass on the grill, and it was delicious.
My first fishing boat trip, and I actually caught more than 20 largemouth bass! Bill is a great guy! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip out on the boat. To top it off, we were allowed to take some of the fish home we caught, which were lovely. Next time with friends and a long trip, sure.
Travelled from Missouri all the way to Orlando on fiancé’s birthday. We drove an hour to get to the charter and arrived to the location 2 hours early only to find out that no one was coming. Called they said they never got the booking even though we had the confirmation number and emails. It sucked because we were super excited for the trip.
Mike is an outstanding fishing guide. His patience, deep knowledge, and entertaining commentary made every moment enjoyable, even during the slower times. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
One of our favorite charters ever. The fishing was excellent, and from the time we moored until we departed, there was constant activity. Comparing the pricing to some of the others we looked up, it was much better. I would advise anyone to wear this ensemble. From the beginning to the end, the entire journey was pleasurable due to the knowledge and laid back nature of Captain Wayne.
2nd outing with Bill super nice guy and better believe it he'll put you on fish. caught both my PB with him. First was 7.3 lbs earlier this year and this weekend 9.4 lbs and we also caught a 6 something lber also. great guy to fish with and i would highly recommend his services. thanks, bill for the great memories. see you next year for prespawn.

We caught nonstop bass! As a non fishing single mom of three boys, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but very quickly our guide taught us how to fish patiently and with absolute expertise. We caught so many fish! The boys will remember this day for the rest of their lives, I am sure of it. What a memory!
Captain Bill Goudy took the time to text and call me preparing for the charter. He welcomed us at the dock ready to go. My son caught his PB bass, 6lb 4oz. We caught over 20 bass that morning. Great time fishing. Thanks Captain Bill.
From start to finish this was the best fishing trip i have ever been on, we caught 40 fish and caught a species i have never caught before, it was a gar, trip was great boat was awesome, and Bill was a great captain, had us on the fish the whole 6 hrs, highly recommend a trip with him, his knowledge and expertise of the lake was second to none. I will be coming back next year to fish with him again.
Pessima... they weren't, I called the company, no one answered. We were only informed that they “had an accident” after a fisherman helped me and called directly at the company. Nothing trustworthy and recommendable!
