An absolutely amazing experience. We took time out of the theme parks to do this experience and I am so glad we did. We saw lots of alligators, a turtle, loads of different birds and caught lots of fish. It was wonderful to see the wildlife in their natural habitat and what a fun boat ride!

I took a side trip while my family was in Orlando for a sports related trip. This was tonic for my soul. The variety of birds was fantastic, and the opportunity to drive through was very helpful during a hot day. The fishing is some of the best I have ever experienced. Highly recommend.

Capt. Bill knows his stuff. I was in Florida in Dec ‘22 and booked a trip with him. The entire souther US was blanketed by an extreme cold snap and it was in low 30’s the day of the trip. Capt Bill took me to Headwater’s Lake and we still caught them. Had 40 fish that morning with two over 5lbs and 2 over 4lbs. You definitely need to book a trip with Capt Bill because you can catch nice bass in any conditions.

Capt. Bill was awesome! We stopped just to get acclimated and fished the same spot for 4 hours and caught 45-50 fish. Many 3-5 pounds. Bill’s kind and gives great instructions. We will return and fish with him again.

Bill is simply amazing. He is a master at his craft. We caught 40 bass on our trip and both my son and his friend got their PB’s. Bill spends the time to coach you in a way that maximizes your time on the water and ability to catch trophy size bass. We loved our trip and will be back because it was so good.

I’ve fished the Bear creek location for over 15 years. I’ve always caught plenty of decent little cats with a few big ones once in a while!! This year in April 2021, I caught my personal best Bass!! A healthy 9 lbs 8oz! So there are still a few decent bass for sure!!

Hat’s off to Bass Online and especially Captain Reno for making a memorable experience that I and my son will never forget Captain Reno he’s a gem of a guy! We had a great time and caught a lot of nice fish. All of the fish we caught were really nice size and healthy. I have never caught that many fish before on one trip, but that’s the difference when you have a pro guiding you….these guys know where the lunkers are and how to get them on the boat. If you are hesitant about taking a guided trip don’t be, it was definitely worth it and I will do it again next time I’m in Florida.

Our group of 4 spent the morning of July 31 on Winterset Lake in the Winter Haven chain with Capt. Reno Alley. Overall a great time for us. Communication with Capt. Reno was easy, clear and accurate. His knowledge of the lakes was excellent. He put us on fish immediately. While the action wasn’t hot, we put 11 bass between 1.5 and 5+ pounds in the boat. Reno kept us engaged and worked hard to keep us on fish. We would fish with Captain Reno in Winter Haven again. Highly recommend Captain Reno. Thanks Reno!

I was vacationing with my in-laws and needed that "escape" for few a few hours. Not only was Jai very professional, he is very personable and can hold an adult conversation which is what I needed almost as much as catching fish. Fishing was a bit slow but I managed to land 1 hawg! Next trip to Florida I will be booking with Jai again! Thanks!

Excellent lake for testing your fishing skills. If fish are active, multiple fishing techniques and presentations produce quality bass. The scenery is unmatched. Not sure if I'd kayak fish this lake. Regularly see big gators in Lake Garcia. BIG!

WAITED 47 YEARS TO GO TROPHY FLORIDA LARGEMOUTH FISHING! And Captain John Leech made the wait well worth. I caught 7 ln 9 once on the first cast. Not kidding at all. Caught large bass the entire trip. But just as important was the service I got from Captain John. It was like fishing with an old friend . I will be back with my boys. This is a trip of a lifetime. Learned more in 2 days fishing with Captain John than I have in 40 years prior. Do not hesitate to book a trip with this man !!! I also never leave reviews for anything but this trip and guide deserves it!!!

One of the best fishing lakes and experiences I’ve ever had. Capt Bill put us on the fish in multiple areas around the lake. He has a sweet boat and professional fishing gear. My wife always goes with me, and she caught a huge 26” bass. Next time we come to Florida we are going back to Lake Kissimmee for another trip. I definitely recommend this guide and lake its an awesome combination.
