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! 




Very detailed in communication and with directions which was great. We caught many big bass when other boats were having less success. He gave some tips to hooking the bass and KEEPING them on the line which helped us, as we usually fish salt water. He was family friendly and well mannered too. I’m sure his mom is proud of his fishing talents, business skill and manners. Highly recommend

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. 



I emailed the people for my refund but they never refunded my money and said I canceled so no refund. I bought 3 fishing licenses and would have been on the boat if they gave me a legitimate address.
I’m going to as Trip Advisor for the refund and then AMEX.
I would NOT recommend this fishing agency !!!!!!!!!!!

Fishing I got to Orlando late at night to find out that my plans went hey wire was late getting to fishing trip this was shaping up to be the vacation from hell but when I got to the boat everything was ready to go and I really needed someone to just be in control of our activity for a little while that man was Capt Steve Niemoeller many thanks to him to help change my whole outlook on this vacation and I caught my pb bass 


Brent Nelson is the one you want!! My husband and son took a private boat with capt Brent Nelson! He was amazing! He took pics of them with every fish they caught! He went to a couple different lakes near the Orlando area where they caught bass and a catfish! It was a wonderful 3 hour experience and well worth $300. Looking forward to visiting again soon! 


Family Fishing on Lake Toho We booked with Bass Online last week and sure are glad we did. The phone reservation people and process is ok, it helps if you have done some research on the area and really read the website for details and specifics. We had a group of 6 with two teenage boys looking to get on the water, catch fish see alligators and have a great experience. We were set up for a pontoon boat with Captain Steve Niemoeoller who is great. Very professional and organized for setting up the day and covering details. He has a very laid back and comfortable style and personality to keep it low key. We caught a 12+ fish on a short 3-4 hour trip, would have caught a lot more as they were biting and on we were just not great at setting hooks and bringing them in. The wind was really blowing and Captain Steve moved us around to quite spots and kept us catching fish and comfortable. All in all it was a great day and I strongly recommend for family, kids and anyone who is looking for a good day of fishing with a very experienced Captain. 


Bass Fishing with Capt. Devon Fished with Capt. Devon Dickerson and have to say it was an amazing experience! Extremely knowledgeable, patient, and knows where to find the âHoneyâ holes. We caught bass from 2 pounds up to 8. Hooked a couple of Alligator Gars and had fun reeling them in. Definitely if youâre visiting the Orlando/Kissimmee/St.Cloud area he is the one to fish with. If you have first timers out there, he has the patience you want to teach you the correct way to catch Bass! Thank you Capt. Devon for the great experience! 

February trip with Cpt Steve Had a great trip with Cpt Steve Niemoeller on Butler Chain of Lakes.. Changed location the day before, since I wanted to fish with artificial baits. This was a good move, and Cpt Steve put me on over a dozen of fish. This was my first Largemouths ever caught, and a dream come true. Will come back to Florida! 

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!!!! 


Lake Toho Fishing With Capt. Brent Nelson Bass fishermen, how do these conditions hit you - just after a full moon, 39 degrees (yep, 39 degrees in Orlando) and a 15 mph. wind. Despite these despicable conditions, Capt. Brent Nelson put us on fish. We booked a 6 hour trip on Lake Toho with Capt. Brent. We boated 24 bass, plus some pike and gar. Shiners were the bait of choice, but we gave soft plastics a shot. Brent never let up in his pursuit for bass and we fished many places on the lake. His knowledge of Lake Toho and bass fishing was excellent! With todayâs conditions, most people would have stayed home, but we caught fish and had a terrific time. We will certainly use Brent on our next visit to Orlando and I highly recommend him!! Heâs a fun guy that will do everything possible to make sure that you have a fantastic bass fishing experience! 


Amazing Day on Lake Toho with Captain Steve Canât Steve Niemoeller was a first class guide. For me and my son, fishing is our favorite activity to do together and our trip did not disappoint. We went to one spot and never left! Typically when weâve gone with other guides weâll catch a few then hope around the lake but Capt Steve urged us to be patient. We caught over 20 high quality Florida bass in 4 hours. Highly recommend and will definitely be calling him next time weâre in town! 


Bass fishing in Orlando This was my third fishing outing in Orlando with Capt. Brent Nelson. The fish were many at 33+, & Capt. Brent will put you on top of the big ones. He's the best at his craft making sure you are having an awesome experience. Highest rating possible. Brian F. - Missouri 


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 


Terrific Time On Toho This was my first time fishing in Florida and was looking forward to a different bass fishing experience. My guide, Steve Niemoeller, fishes Big Toho as one of his main venues and knows this place like the back of his hand. Besides putting me on fish throughout the day he also had some great inside info on the lake and some greater stories about previous trips here and out on the flats. With a minimum amount of tackle and baits, unlike what I fish with in California, I stopped counting after 10 fish in first couple of hours, Steve claiming that it was the best morning bite he's had in a couple weeks. I continued to catch some quality fish during the rest of the trip and and would do it again if I ever get back to central Florida. Steve is a true pro in guiding and a great people person so if you want to experience both great fishing and a some southern hospitality, you can ask for him personally when you book your trip. 


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. 


Lake Toho Bass Fishing Had a great trip with Captain Steve at Lake Toho, Florida. Weather wasnât nice but still caught 18 fish with both live baits and lures. Donât worry if you are a beginner like me! Captain Steve will teach you everything you need to know about angling. Highly recommend for people who want to have a great experience in Orlando besides Disney. 


















Grandson lake fishing trip Capt Dumas was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and personable. His boat was well equipped. We had every thing needed for a successful day, went to where the fish were, but the fish didn't cooperate. We got several good bites but couldn't bring in the fish. My 12 year old grandson was already a skilled fisherman, but I am a novice. Capt Dumas was patient with me and was a good teacher. Would definitely recommend this as a good fishing trip and an easy way to book it. 


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. 




Lake Toho with Captain Steve Niemoeller Fishing on Lake Toho with Capt. Steve was one of the best times I have had on the water . This was my 1st time to fish in Florida . Capt. Steve knows how to find and catch fish in these massive lakes in Fla. I learned a lot about different techniques to help me catch more fish at home in Texas. I'm coming back this spring and for many years to come and I'm for sure fishing with Capt. Steve and BassOnline .com Only way to do it right !!!! 


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 
Poor John Well didn't go exactly as planned. Really wanted a morning trip when it was a little cooler and the fish were biting better. John got sick and that happens. He really went out of his way to get us set up with Steve, and I appreciated that. It just ended up being a really slow & hot afternoon. But I would do it again and plan to soon.....just in the morning!! 


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. 


Lake Toho bass fishing with Capt Steve Niemoeller We paid for wild shiners and a half day trip. Fishing reports had been good in the area. Captain Steve chose to go to Lake Toho. He arrived with Shiners already in the boat from the previous days fishing. Most were dead in the bait well and the rest died as soon as we put them in the water. No one had a bite the entire time. To his credit he offered to not charge us for the trip but that wasnât the point. He offered to not charge for the bait and I was insulted. Maybe Iâve just been lucky, but my previous experiences have been off the scale compared to this one. 


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! 


Awesome Fishing Trip with Captn Steve Niemoeller We fished on Friday, May 27th, 2016, with Captn Steve Niemoeller on Lake Toho. We left Big Toho Marina about 6am. At Sunrise about 6:30am, the first fish struck our shiners and my Fiance's Rod was doubled over. She reeled in and landed a 9lb 5oz. Bass of a Lifetime. It was beautiful! The bass then began to feed for the next 2.5 hours at Captn Steve's secret spot. My Fiance boated another 6 pounder. I boated 3 bass between 1 and 4 pounds. My Dad boated a bass of about 2 pounds. My Fiance also landed an Alligator Gar and a Chain Pickeral. And we lost several fish or missed them because of our wimpy hooksets! The action was consistent and exciting!!! We had an amazing morning. I have been bass fishing in FL for over twenty years. Captn Steve Niemoeller is the cream of the crop when it comes to guiding for giant largemouth Bass. He has a special gift of finding large bass and getting them to bite. Anyone whom fishes regularly knows that it does not always go your way; however, with Captn Steve you are more than likely going to have a very memorable day. I would suggest you go to the lake he suggests at the time he suggests. He fishes a lot and he knows what is going on. Tight lines to all the anglers out there. 


Lake Toho May, 2016 Originally booked trip for St Johns River but the captain called day before suggesting Lake Toho instead due to the poor bite on the river. My bucket list was to fish anywhere in Florida for the first time so I agreed - no problem at all. I brought my nephew along and requested we use shiners to hopefully ensure he had a fun day catching fish. That he did for sure. The captain was very patient with him while he learned the nuances of bobber fishing with live bait. Me, I was content to just throw a 7.5" plastic worm all day and was pleasantly surprised that most of the big fish were caught on it. My only disappointment with the trip was fishing proximity to the launch ramp. We started the day by motoring 1.3 miles across the bay the some grass and pads. Power Poled down for 3 hours while my nephew fished with his shiners and I fan casted the plastic worm. Actually had a great morning - lots of nice fish in this one area. Next, on the trolling motor for about 75 yards and Power Poled down again for another hour. Hopped over to a bait and tackle shop for a quick bathroom break and then headed back to within 100 yards of the launch ramp where we anchored and fished for another two hours with very little success. The captain offered to turn my 8 hour day into a 6 hour day and I accepted. He did cut the price of the trip to account for this. I just feel like the captain wasn't really into the job on this particular day. I felt he was more interested in fishing for tournament released fish and not burning a little more fuel to go hunt for a better bite. I would have liked to have seen more of Lake Toho. 


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! 


Great Third Generation Fishing Guide I've fished multiple times with Kip Grunloh and each time has been great. He's a real pro, funny and very patient. This time I brought a hard-core fishing buddy (the type that brings his own gear) and even he was impressed. All you need to bring is a positive attitude. 

Fished Lake ToHo--No Go-- My guide asked me to pay for all the live bait which, having fished all over the world, I have never been asked to do. However, I agreed and told him the night before if he thought the only way to catch fish was with live bait, then let's not run out. We ran out a little over half the trip and never caught another fish on alternative tackle. I would stay away from these "corporate" guiding services that are too big to care about repeat, small guy business.

What we Want you to Know
We know you will enjoy getting outdoors and bending a rod with us as much as we do. As soon as we hit the water, you’ll rekindle that outdoor spirit and understand why Orlando fishing is a hidden secret the theme parks don’t want you to know about! We do have many options, and yes, we have cheap fishing trips in Orlando. If you want free fishing in Orlando, Fl, I will follow this link to the Fab 5 stocked lakes.
We don’t have animated characters to entertain you, although some of our guys are pretty funny. But our magic starts when you step off the dock onto our boat.
Orlando lakes are abundant with fish and hold a variety of Florida fish species. The lake’s king is the largemouth bass; we have plenty of crappies, bluegill, shellcrackers, and catfish to catch. The bass fishing in Orlando FL attracts fishermen from across the globe, who says, “you won’t believe how great of an experience this is until you try it for yourself.”
Areas Outdoor Activities surrounding fishing
In between your Orlando fishing, you should take in some local activity in Central Florida. We all know the exciting theme parks, the area has come to live with an additional option.
If a boat is not your thing, there are a few great Kayak tours, less expensive and still gets you on the water and outdoors. Alternatively, local bungee jumping and ziplining, two of many options to get you outside. If traveling east for your inshore or offshore charter, you might consider the Kennedy Space Center. It’s one of a kind and a place everyone should go once.

What to Expect on an Orlando Bass Fishing Charter
Charter Rules & Regulations
In Florida, the fishing license is regulated by the Fish and Wildlife Department, which for some stupid reason, has different rules in freshwater vs. saltwater, below we explain.
All licensed saltwater captains in Florida have fishing permits, which include everyone on their charter.
This license is not available in freshwater, so when fishing with a freshwater captain, each angler onboard needs to purchase their own permit, $17 plus taxes, under $20 each.
Regarding live bait, in freshwater, it is purchased from the local tackle shops. So the captain should discuss your options and additional cost ahead of time or only use an artificial lure included in your charter’s price.
The bait is netted by the captain in the saltwater, not costing any additional as it’s only the captain’s time it takes to catch it. Saltwater captains will charge for specialty bait in some rea cases, which is seasonal; again, they should discuss this in advance and all the additional costs.

Top Bass Fishing Lakes in Orlando
The East Coast Fishing Options
A fan favorite is Mosquito Lagoon near Cocoa Beach, just south of Daytona Beach in New Smyrna Beach. It’s only 60 minutes from Walt Disney World Resorts and Universal Studios. Cape Canaveral is another excellent and trendy location, about 55 minutes from the same theme parks. Its port provides excellent offshore fishing. We cover all that and more below.
The West Coast Fishing Options
Between Tampa Bay and St Petersburg, just south of Clearwater Fl is a local favorite. It’s only 90 minutes from Walt Disney World Resorts and Universal Studios. Which offers excellent coastal and deep-sea options, which we will cover below.
Types of Fishing
Most customers adapt to the inshore saltwater fishing charters quickly, as it’s similar to bass fishing in many ways. They generally have no chance of getting seasick. You can expect to catch a Sea Trout, Tarpon, Snapper, Redfish, and Pompano. On the inshore trips, the boat generally accommodates 3 to 4 people max; we have a few that can accommodate 5 or 6, depending on your group’s size.
When jumping aboard a deep-sea fishing charter, they offer standard 8-hour, 6-hour, and 4-day private deep-sea fishing trips, as well as specialty trips where you can target specific species. Common to catch on the offshore charters are Mahi-Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Kingfish, and bottom fish, like yellowfin tuna, snapper and grouper, and the occasional shark. Remember, not all species are available in offshore or deep-sea fishing, as most are seasonal.
