My dad and I are still smiling from our trip, we had a great time. Thanks for the internet post it was a real kick to see our pictures on the net.
I attached a small clip that I put together of my dad catching a big Okeechobee bass. We are both hooked on baitcasting reels now that you have shown us the light. I learned a great deal on the trip and loved every minute of it.
Orlando 67 Days of Smiles – Stacey and Kyle are a couple life long friends and are now friends of ours. Originally from Michigan now residing in New York, they enter a promotional contest offer by Orlando and won the whole thing!
As winners of the Orlando 67 Days of Smiles contest Stacey and Kyle have gotten to experience just about every attraction in Orlando. Our goal was to bring the Orlando Outdoors to Stacey and Kyle, so what better way then to experience the two most impressive indoor and outdoor activities in Orlando, World famous bass fishing with Florida’s largest fishing guide service “BASSonline Fishing Outfitter” and to shop till you drop, with the World’s largest Hunting and Fishing retailer, “Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World.”
The excursion started by meeting at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World at 5:45am. We all know how important it is to look the part, so after distributing the FREE hats and shirts Bass Pro graciously offered. We headed off to one of Orlando’s most popular big bass lakes, Lake Toho world famous for producing trophy bass. We knew in the back of my minds, even if the fish didn’t bite the beautiful scenery and wildlife would leave a stunning impression.
When we arrived at the lake everyone genuinely sounded and looked very excited to get started. After the guides put the boats in the water and everyone toured the Big Toho Marina, off we went in the boats where the real adventure was just about to begin.
Once we arrived at our first location, it took no time at all before the first fish was reeled in. That one came from the guys boat, yes it was the guys against the girls for now. After several more fish were caught the kidding back and forth escalated to lots of laughter. Thankfully all went as planned, the fish bit and the bald eagles flew overhead as if they were watching the whole thing. Bass were caught by everyone and yes some fish were missed(Stacey) but it was all in fun and part of an Orlando Outdoor adventure that everyone will never forget.

The weekend of September 12-13, I had the pleasure of taking out the Tom Brautigan with his father Richard. Tom is in the Military a few days to spend time with his father on a Central Florida Fishing Adventure. They got one of our Inclusive packages 3 nights the Clewiston Inn with 2 full days fishing. Tom and Richard fished 2 days on Lake Okeechobee and learn some new bass fishing techniques. By the end of their two day bass fishing, the Brautigan’s became avid fisherman even throwing bait-casters.
Lake Okeechobee fishing always makes for happy anglers.
I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful trip. My father and I just completed a 2 day bass fishing trip on the Sept 12-13 and we had a blast. Capt. Brett Isackson was our guide and he was outstanding. Brett had a great personality and was a joy to be around. Brett showed up on time, prepared, and with great equipment. He spared no time in getting us to our fishing spot and putting a fishing pole in our hands. Brett worked hard to put us on fish. We knew that we didn’t come at the greatest part of the season but Brett worked hard and taught us the techniques we needed and we landed several 5 pound bass and plenty 2-3 lbs bass. Thanks for such a great trip. You will be seeing us in the future.

Lake Okeechobee Sept. 12-13, 2009
September 11, 2009 had the pleasure of taking out Gil Phillippi. He was a referral from one of our many repeat customers, we like to thank everyone who sends us new customers. Customer giving referrals are highly appreciated and means a lot to us that we are doing a good job and putting the right effort in to them all.
Gil was after the exotic hard fighting Peacock Bass that are only in South Florida area for the United States. Gil wanted to throw artificial baits all day, we started off with topwater plugs. His first catch was a nice snook that just “exploded” on his bait. Gil caught a nice two pound peacock off topwater and as day went on we went to throwing sub surface lures.
The mid afternoon was slow, but things picked up near the end of day. He caught about twelve peacocks and a nice tarpon on light tackle, 10lb test!.
The thing about Miami you just never know what your going to catch! Its an awesome urban fishery locate close to everything.
