WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CAPT ROBERT MILEY

Trip of a lifetime I had a trip of a lifetime! Captain Bob was a pleasure to spend the day with. I caught loads of fish with his guidance even though the canals had gotten 10 inches of rain in the days prior to my trip. Fishing for peacock bass in the Snapper Creek canal was the best part of my trip to Miami. We don't have those fish in Montana where I'm from and they fight like crazy. Captain Bob was very patient with me as I felt with snags and line issues throughout the day. His 25 plus years of experience were not lost on me as I pulled in bass after bass. I would go back on that trip in a heartbeat and will carry the memories of that day with me always. 



A good experience My cousin and I had planned this fishing trip for about 15 years. While we would have liked to have landed more fish, we understand that we have no control over wind speeds and fish dispositions. We fished 2 days, once with Brett Issacson in the glades and once with Bob Miley in the Falls canals. Both these fellas are top-notch—-friendly, knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Would love to fish wifh either captains a yrime

Good fishing Experience We just had our repeat fishing guide with Captain Robert Miley and we had a blast catching quality fish once again. We caught a lot on a half day trip and reeled in 3 species of fish. We caught 2 peacock bass that were more than four pounds with the heaviest one weighing at four pounds and eleven ounces. Captain Robert knows where the fish are and is very experienced in getting them to bite. He is always a pleasure to work with. He is professional and patient, which made it a very enjoyable trip. We will definitely book him again the next time we go to Florida. 


Peacock Bass Fishing with Captain Bob Miley I booked a trip through bassonline.com as a surprise for my husband....peacock bass fishing was a HUGE bucket list item and in speaking with many guides, this was the only business I was comfortable with since I truly had no idea about this sort of fishing. They helped me decide what to do, when to travel, where to stay so I would be close to the ramp, etc. I cannot say enough good things about Captain Bob Miley. He was so knowledgeable about fishing and he and my husband talked all day. His number one priority was putting us on fish. And thatâs exactly what he did. He had great equipment and was such a great teacher of how to catch these beautiful fish. My husband had the time of his life and we will absolutely be going back to fish with him again. Bassonline.com made it easy to pay online and gave me all the information I needed to ensure we had a great trip!! Canât thank them enough for helping me pull off this surprise!! 


Great Experience! Thank you so much for a wonderful guide (Miley) for my son Calvin today ... as we all know ... no guarantee in fishing and this man did his very very best for my son! Not many people like that left in the world! PS: he did get Peacock Bass:)Thank you Rhonda Gronseth 


Huge Peacock Bass Bass Online ROCKS !! Fished with Captain Robert Miley at Lake Ida 6/8/18 and caught double figures peacock bass, the two largest 3.5 #, and 4#. Robert Miley is a true professional with years of bass fishing experience. I have fished with him over 20 times the past 3 years and we always catch fish.Going back to Chicago next week but I can't wait to go bass fishing this coming November.Go with Laurie @ Bass Online. 




Captain Robert Miley is the BEST! My son and I went peacock bass fishing in Miami with Captain Robert Miley on January 1st 2018. I will start by talking about the fishing and then I will talk about Captain Robert Miley. Captain Miley's boat is immaculate and his gear is top notch. He had everything ready for us and he was also early. He knew all the good spots and was obviously very experienced. He went way beyond for us. Recent hurricanes fell a lot of trees in the canals we were fishing in yet that did not deter Captain Miley. He navigated around the trees and debris risking damage to his boat to get my son and I to the best spots. He only had inches literally, but he was so skilled he was able to do it. We caught a good amount of Peacock Bass and my son caught a monster 6 lb peacock bass. I wish I could post a picture of it. If you could see the look on my son's face you would know what I mean. Now about Captain Robert Miley the man. He was kind, gentle, funny and entertaining. He was patient, caring, interested and engaging. If you could see how he treated my son and how he made us feel you would know what I mean. Captain Robert Miley is the man I would love my son to become, the man I would like to be. He is the father I never knew but wish I had. Don't go fishing with Captain Miley just because he is good at fishing. Do go with him because he is one of the most decent human being you will ever meet. He just happens to be good at fishing as well:-) 


Highly Recommended We were looking for a very last minute half day trip whilst down in Miami - from the initial phone call to the actual trip itself could not have been smoother - Whilst on the water Capt. Miley was EXCEPTIONALLY patient, accommodating and enjoyable to fish with. He put us right on top of the fish and it was only a short matter of time before we were pulling in doubles - I would highly recommend booking through Bass Online - A++++ 


An excellent week I first want to thank Captain Bret and Captain Bob for making my week. Despite the tough conditions, both were able to get me on many peacock bass. They expertly put the boat where I needed it to be able to cast a fly to some really great fish. The front office moved my days around to ensure I had the best possible opportunities. I would go with them again this week if I didnât have to work. 


Thank you, Lori, for answering all my questions, met your husband at bait shop-nice guy. Please relay to my guides that I truly had a FANTASTIC time. God bless all- Bobby Sboray, Roanoke, Va.

Fantastic fishing experience!!! Fished for 5 days with Bass Online. Had 3 different guides, Brett, Bob, and Tony. I am 68 years young and did i have a BLAST!! I expressed prior to my fishing that i wanted to use live bait and i knew it was my responsibility to purchase. There was NEVER a problem, we stopped at the bait shop each morning, and i bought the shinners. All one has to do is read what is expected of you, it is on their website. Anyway, a dream come true. Was picked up each morning on time at my hotel and returned that evening, that was a BIG plus!! And when guide says he will be there at 6am, he was there at 6am. Anyway caught LOTS of fish, only the guide and myself on boat so we just had FUN, this is the way i wanted it also. I have fished a lot all over and i can truly say, they KNOW what they are talking about, for heaven's sake listen to them-they do this for a living.
