WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CAPT JOHN

An awesome day on Lake Toho with bassonline.com guide and Captain John Leech January 2024 My wife had a business trip in the Orlando area so I tagged along and scheduled a trip with Capt. John Leech in late January hoping to catch some big pre spawn bass on Lake Toho. A big cold front came through the day before our trip so the potential for a tough day was there. With the expert help of Capt. John, and despite the very cool conditions, we were able to catch fish all day long! We caught a lot in the 2-4 pound range with a couple of 5 pounders and one that went 6.32 for big fish of the day. It was an excellent day and John was wonderful company! I Highly recommend Capt. John Leech if you are looking for a person who flat knows where they are and how to catch them! By the way this is my second trip to Florida in the past year. I have booked through bassonline.com both times one on Okeechobee and then this trip to Toho. The trips were professional and exactly what I asked for and paid for each time. Book with confidence! 

Reliable and fun! John was an amazing host! He made our boat ride very fun and his boat was very well kept.. He suggested we meet in the morning instead of in the afternoon because of how hot it can get out for us and the fish. We caught a good amount of fish too! John was also prompt and reliable. If you're looking for a world class top notch service, this is the real deal! 



Bass fishing trip with Capt John Leech I set up a Bass fishing trip with Capt John Leech for my two sons and me. Capt John Leech called the night before and said he had a location closer to where I was located that had great fishing. He did not disappoint. We put over 20 Bass in the boat including a few fish between 6 to 8 pounds. My 12 year old son landed an 8.2 pound Bass that he will never forget. Capt John Leech is an exceptional professional guide who shared his knowledge about Bass fishing with us and assured we had a unbelievable great time fishing. I would highly recommend him for a guide. 



Winter Fishing with Captain John Leech We enjoyed out time with Captain John Leech. He is a knowledgeable Captain. He shares his knowledge of the waters and fish. This was our third year fishing with him in January. Despite the weather at times we have always enjoyed our time on the water with him. We look forward to seeing him again next year. Lake Tohopekaliga has been good to us as well as Lake Conway in 2018. Joanne and I had a great time~156 fish combined on Conway in 2018. This year Joanne caught her biggest ever 7.0 pounder on Tohopekaliga just before the MLF tournament started. Captain John Leech makes your experience worth while. Despite this years cold weather we had a blast. Thanks John.Ron & Joanne BunnellMassachusetts 


Bass at Lake Toho My son and I recently took the opportunity to try bass fishing in Florida. After looking at a number of fishing trips, we settled for booking with IOutdoor. Our captain for the trip was John Leech. Needless to say, the trip was a success. John proved to be very knowledgeable for the lake and worked wonderfully to meet, and ultimately exceed our expectations. We were able to catch and boat a number of fish with many larger specimens. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will definitely book with John again if we are in Orlando. Thank you for a wonderful time!!!! 


Fishing Lake Tohopekeliga We had a great day catching and releasing largemouth bass with Captain John Leach on 11/14/2018.The trip started at 6 a.m. and it was almost nonstop until 10:00. It slowed down after that which expected, but we still boated several more. Captain John is very patient, experienced and let's you do as much of the catch and release as you want. I highly recommend him. David G. 


Fishing with Captain John Leech with bassonline.com Had a great day on Lake Toho with Captain John Leech! Captain John is an experienced guide who had us catching fish within minutes of leaving the dock! He shared his wealth of knowledge of Lake Toho & was great about sharing tips and answering our questions!! He told us before we left the dock they had been catching a lot of fish and nice size fish! He definitely delivered, not only was the number of fish unbelievable, but every fish was hitting in the 3-5 lb range, maybe no throphies on this trip, but I have never caught this many bass in this size range! Canât wait to bring my family back to fish with Captain John! Check him out on Bassonline.com 


Captain John Leech Another great outing. My 3rd with Captain John. He is great with experienced and novice fisherman. He strives to put you on fish. Been fishing for 50 years and caught my career largest bass with him on trip 2. The company is also easy to work with, in fact, looking to do some other trips with them on other lakes. 






Father Daughter Fishing Trip Excellent trip! Capn John Leech provides a genuine fishing experience that includes knowledge of the Local Fishing Lakes that goes beyond generic fishing reports. My choice was lake Toho, he called me the night before and suggested Lake Butler and we were extremely satisfied. My daughter who had never been bass fishing, caught her first bass which was a 2 pounder! She is now an avid bass fisher as every bass she caught was over 2 lbs. We averaged 7 fish per hour totaling 28 for our 4 hour "run." Capn Leech has a way about him, that fishermen young and old, can appreciate. He's also conservation conscience, caring about the environment and the fish his passengers catch. His tutorial skills, teach the customers how to catch fish and release them without harming the fish. All 28 of our Bass were released "alive." Looking forward to another trip! Highly recommended. 


Cpt Leech - Butler chain of lakes My wife and I booked with bass online. I was a little skeptical at how easy it was to book a trip - one phone call and a follow up and we were done! Meet up with Cpt Leech who put us on fish right away! He is a great guide! Highly recommend 
Capt. John Leech I recently booked a three person fishing trip with bassonline.com on lake toho. Me and my two newphews could not possiblely have had a better time. Capt John treat me and my nephews like we were family from the very start. We left the dock ahead of schedule and within minutes of stopping at the first stop John had us on the fish. The memories that Capt john helped me and my nephews create are in measurable. We wish were we're staying in the area longer, we would have booked another trip. Capt John took the time to explain to us a lot of what he knew about the lake and the eco system in the area. The fishing was absolutely amazing. Catch after catch of big large mouth bass. We could not possible have had a better time on the water that day. Thank you Capt John. 


Fantastic Day w/ Capt Leech on Lake Toho! Left all the research up to my 14 year old son! Capt Leech was the best! We let him guide us and it was perfect! He called us to confirm 24 hours before the trip and he advised us on what we should be doing! It couldn't have been any better. Good man, great guide w/ a wealth of knowledge not just on Lake Toho but fishing! We spotted an amazing symbol of Freedom! Bald Eagle! Truly couldn't thank you him enough. We can't wait to come back! Challenge now is we're spoiled! We want fish like this at home in Virginia! 


Excellent Bass Fishing guide! My husband and i had a fantastic experience with Capt. John Leech on lake Toho. He knew exactly were to fish and we were on fish from the moment we got there. We ran out of bait twice! We were able to catch a lot of Bass and most over 6 lbs. my husband's fish was over 8 lbs and my biggest just over 7. Definitely a trip to remember!
