“This lake used to be a wonder for fish and waterfowl. A decade of hydrilla spraying has ended that. Long time local residents report catch rates now one fifth of what they were a decade ago. Many have complained but the spraying continues.”

Family fun
★★★★★
“The mid July tempuratures, drought conditions and inexperienced young anglers made for quite the challenge but Captain Mike was a true professional and got us onto some nice sized fish. My 10yr old son couldn't stop saying how much fun he had even though he didn't have much luck until the very last minute of the trip. Mike was very personable and informative and made sure everyone left with great memories as well as new fishing knowledge and tips. We will definately be back and I highly recommend Captain Mike.”

Outstanding Professional Guide
★★★★★
“I would highly recommend that anyone looking to catch peacock bass request Capt. Kirk. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable of their habitat and feeding patterns/behavior, he was also one of the most pleasant individuals I have ever had the privilege to fish with. He is a consummate professional and will ensure you have a great time out on the water. If fishing South Florida, book your trip with Capt. Kirk!”

Peacock on the fly
★★★★★
“In a recent trip to Miami (July 1st.) one of my goals was to catch a Peacock Bass on my fly rod. There are a lot easier ways to catch fish than on a fly but Capt. Tony was up for the challenge. Ended up boating 5 Peacocks and blew up several other chances in a 4 hour trip. Mission Accomplished! Thanks Tony!”

Lake Osborne/Capt. Mike Groshon
★★★★★
“My brother and I spent the day with Captain Mike Groshon on Lake Osborne and although the fish were being difficult, Mike moved us around and ensured that we found the fish we came looking for. The Peacock bass are a fun fish to catch and Mike, after seeing some bass, took us back to that location and I was able to catch two Peacock Bass there. We had a lot of fun too, especially trying to keep the birds from stealing our bait. 🙂 Then near the end of the day, I caught the Clown Knife Fish and it was a great day made even better. Not sure if we'll make it back to that area to fish again, but I'm sure we'll call on Mike to help us get some more Peacock Bass, if we do. Thanks Mike!”
- Calvin Nicholson
Lake Okeechobee/Capt. Dave Lauer
★★★★★
“My brother and I spent two days with Captain Dave Lauer on Lake Okeechobee and we had the best time! Dave provided everything we needed, was easy to talk to and we had two days of great fishing and laughs. We caught hundreds of fish over the span of two days including a couple of six pounders. Dave was very patient with us as we re-learned how to fish with shiners after fishing artificial for so many years. This was a trip of a lifetime for me and my brother, so I'm not sure if we'd go back to sish Okeechobee, but if we do, it will surely be with Captain Dave. Thanks Dave!!!!”

Awesome trip
★★★★★
“I booked a last minute trip with Capt. Mark Shepard. It turned out to be a great day on the water as i caught a bass on my first cast and on one of my last casts. I lost count of how many bass were caught but it had to be over 30. I learned a lot by fishing with Mark and he is quite knowledgeable regarding how to put fish in the boat. I would definitely charter with him again. Thanks for a great experience.”
- Mike Thomas
Captain Mark
★★★★★
“My buddies and I were on our annual fishing trip and stumbled upon the Stick Marsh. We had a trip scheduled with one guide but it was changed at the last minute. This was to our advantage. We went out with Captain Mark "Turtle" Hilles and had a fantastic trip. Captain Mark put us on so many bass, using live and artificial bait. Captain Mark has a great personality and gave us an experience that we'll remember for years to come. He's one of the best guides my buddies and I have had the pleasure to fish with. We all look forward to fishing with him again on our trip next year.”

Made my sons trip!
★★★★★
“When I asked my 13yr old what he'd like to do while we visited Florida for spring break he said "Peacock Bass fishing". Captain Wayne couldn't have been a better fit as our guide. He knew exactly how to challenge my son, who prides himself on being a great fisherman. We had a perfect day, lots of caught fish (mainly by my son not me) and even when it rained captain Wayne had a jacket I could borrow. We will definitely book another fishing trip with Captain Wayne if we get to vacation in Florida again!!!”

Great Trip
★★★★★
“Kip was knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. He used the wealth of knowledge he has to answer our questions and put us in the right places to catch fish. Even though it was about 95 degrees, he stuck it out with us on our 8 hour trip, and we probably caught more fish than most of the tournament anglers that were fishing Lake Toho that day. We had an awesome time and will definitely book trips with Kip in the future.”

Catch of a Lifetime!
★★★★★
“Capt. Chris was on time and waiting for the 3 of us, me (Ellen), Daryl (husband) and Lucas (6 year old grandson). Chris was the perfect professional guide for us. He worked hard for us all to catch a nice fish. Very patient and kind to Lucas and I (both new at this). Lucas caught a gar (he called it a dinosaur) that made his day. Then we went to the "mats", where a big one hit. It was all I could do to bring him in while Chris dug through the mats with his hands to clear the way. I knew it was big, but well over 10 POUNDS was way beyond my wildest dreams. A day I shall never forget! Thanks to Capt. Chris. He is the BEST!! Thank YOU, Ellen Singleton”

Lake Okeechobee
★★★★★
“Captain Mark Rose and Bassonline were very accommodating in getting us a charter with very short notice. Captain Mark was able to find a marina close to our hotel and got us on the water quickly. Even though the weather was challenging, Captain Mark put us on the fish right away and gave us the right techniques to land them. He worked hard to keep our lines in the water. The bite was on non stop and the big bass couldn't resist those shiners. We landed well over 20 fish including our personal best. We had a great afternoon with lots of quality fish. It's definitely worth the trip, it's an experience that you won't find anywhere else. Big thanks to Captain Mark Rose for a great trip.”
- Gabe & Sirel
My experience with Capt Steve
★★★★★
“Our group fished with Steve for 2 days in early March. We were scheduled to fish at Rodman. The weather was fine until our first day. Then the temp went south and the wind went north. Steve was great to work with. He is not only knowledgeable but very flexible. He took us to areas out of the wind but put us on fish. He is a great guy. Looking forward to fishing with him again.”

That being said Mark is a great guy and very knowledgeable on what to do and when to do it and he will even give you some good BBQ tips! That being said the amount of quality fish that we're caught and my new personal best it's safe to say we have found our guide for any further trips. We plan on booking another asap. Thanks again Mr. Shepard hope to get out there again soon!”

Captain Rob Alfano

“This was my second trip to Okeechobee this month. We spent the first full day and the 1/2 day fishing out of Clewiston. It was good fishing we caught some nice 4 pounders and a lot of 2-3 pounders. The last day (after a front moved trough) we fished out of Okeechobee. We caught several 4 to 4-1/2 pounders and a 7 pounder. we boated 50 bass the last day even having to go back and get more shiners. This trip was so much fun and Captain Rob is the BEST!!! He really worked with us on the weather changing and put us on a ton of great fish. If you want to have a great time with a real Pro just book Captain Rob Alfano and you can't go wrong. I look forward to booking another trip with him. Thanks Bass Online and Captain Rob!!!”

Fabulous Fishing with Captain Ken Walker
★★★★★
“It was an experience of a lifetime getting to fish with Captain Ken Walker Feb 22 and 24, 2017. This captain is tireless in locating fish, teaching fishing techniques and ensuring we had a great time. Bill is an experienced bass fisherman and Dee is a newbie! We fished the mouth of the St John river near Astor, FL the first day and caught a total 11 bass including two 7 pounders. The second day we fished Rodman Reservoir and caught a total of 17 bass and Dee landed her first trophy bass weighing in at 9.25 pounds!!!!!! We can't say enough positive things about Captain Walker and we are making our reservations for 2018 this week.”

Time of our Life with Capt George
★★★★★
“My dad and I enjoy Bass fishing, however living in Ontario makes for a long Winter. We decided to take a last minute trip to Lake Okeechobee. Without much planning we landed at Roland Martin Marina and was pointed in the direction of Bassonlines Capt George. That was the best thing that could have happened to a couple of guys who never fished in Florida. He arrived on time to pick us up in the morning with his brand new Ranger with a 250. Extremely professional and Sincere, George worked hard for us to have a good time and did we ever!! 2 days of unbelievable fishing.. George put us on the fish and we howled all day long(other boats could here us on the other end of the lake).. One nice fish after the other and we hit the 9 pounders we dreamed about.. We could have never planned that. George was courteous and we had a lot of fun with him. It truly was our trip of a lifetime. A big thank you to Capt George for the pictures that will be on my wall for the next 70 years. Priceless! I hope to see you again next year. Chris and Ray. PS. Always talk to your bait”

Capt. Ken Walker
★★★★★
“My husband booked a 2-day fishing trip with Capt Ken Walker on Rodman Reservoir Feb 16-17. Even before the trip, Ken was responsive to all of my husband's inquiries and went out of his way to make sure we were kept updated on catches from his prior trips that week due to concerns about possible weather effects on the fishing. During the trip on the first day, Ken predicted that we would catch our first fish at 9am. My husband caught our first fish at 9:01! This was the first and only fish that was caught on an artificial lure, and it was not a big one, but it was funny that it was caught at the time Ken predicted. Not long after, we started fishing with live golden shiners. After Ken gave us a thorough and detailed tutorial on the art of fishing with shiners, we headed to the first spot proven to produce the type of trophy bass that earned Rodman Reservoir the ranking of #8 in the 2016 list of top 100 Bass lakes in the US as ranked by Bassmaster Magazine! Well, after a few opportunities to practice the technique and a couple of small bass we managed to land, Ken took us to the spot where both my husband and I were able to catch our personal best LMB ever! Mine was an 8.75 lb lunker, and hubby caught an 8.68 lb bass with the very last shiner! In addition to putting us on some solid fish, and the occasional Bowfin/Mudfish that tried to get in on the shiner action, Ken was constantly sharing freely of his tips and techniques in catching bass. He also showed me how I could improve my casting distance which made a big difference! He continually handled all of the tasks of keeping us rigged up with hooks, shiners, and fluorescent corks (hot pink for me) as we got broke off when the shiners got hung up in the matted vegetation the bass hid under to ambush their prey. I went through Ken's stock of pink corks! Bottom line: Ken gave us an EPIC day of fishing, despite very cold weather conditions for most of the day. We each caught some solid fish besides our PB fish. Ken was knowledgeable, informative, and knows the fishery intimately. Book him for your next guided fishing trip - you'll be glad you did!”

Peacock bass in Naples
★★★★★
“2 friends and I went fishing with Mark Rose for peacock bass in Naples. None of us had ever caught a peacock bass and prior to the trip didn't even know they were in SW FL. We had a great time and caught about 40 fish on a half day trip; roughly 60:40 peacocks to large mouths, largest about 5 lbs. even saw a family of otters and a bald eagle. Over all a great time and I would highly recommend a trip with Mark. Wet knowledgable and he put us an fish. The Peacocks are not as big as some of the large mouths, but do they fight.”

Okeechobee Bucket list
★★★★★
“I took myself and a customer/friend out to Okeechobee to be guided by Capt. Rob Alfano. The only mistake I made was starting out at 7:00. I should of started at 5:00! Within 2 minutes we had fish on. I am not sure what the best part was, the 40 fish we caught or the great harassing we gave and got from Capt Rob. A truly great guy. I will do it again. His boat was perfect for two fisherman and a guide. Equipment was first rate. The hotspots all produced fish. For the money, you can't beat it.”

Captain Rob Alfano (GREAT Guide)
★★★★★
“Went fishing with Captain Rob Alfano for 2 days. We had a great trip and caught a lot of fish. If you are looking for a GREAT guide that will put you on fish and have fun he is your guy. This was my first fishing trip to Okeechobee and I will be back because of Captain Rob. We caught over 40 fish even though a cold front slowed the bit. Thanks Captain Rob!!!!”

Christmas gift
★★★★★
“I booked a trip with Kenneth Walker for my son Briton as a Christmas gift. Briton has been fishing since he was able to hold a fishing pole. He has been trying everything to catch a big bass, and has succeeded quite a few times. I spoke with Kenneth Walker, and he spent a lot of time discussing what Briton wanted. Captain Ken provided my son and his guest (lifelong avid sportsman, my dad) with a trip they will always remember! The smiles have not left their faces since the day began. Captain Kenneth Walker performed an exemplary job enabling my well seasoned fishermen with a new and exciting experience. My son retuned home with the plan for his next trip with Captain Ken in the works! I can't express how happy we all are with this experience and service provided by Captain Kenneth Walker. Thank you so much!! Best Regards, Josie Sims”

Great Day On The Water
★★★★★
“What a day I had with Captain Rob Alfano. This was my first bass trip with a professional guide and it exceeded all of my expectations. I left that morning from Jensen Beach thinking about what type a day I may have - 5 to 7 large mouth bass, hoping for a 4 pounder, maybe bigger, Well, I ended up with more then 20 large mouth and several 4 pound fish. I can't even explain the excitement you feel as your bobber starts to dance around, knowing that the shiner is being chased by a large mouth. I missed over 10 fish because I pulled to fast and way to hard and one of them was yes - a hog, she had to be close to 10 pounds. I will be thinking of that fish for an entire year, I already booked my date for February 2018. The fishing was fantastic but what really made the trip for me was Captain Rob. He was patience, so knowledgeable and a great teacher. We truly had a blast and talked about so many topics as we starred down at our bobbers. If you haven't been bass fishing in Florida, specifically Lake Okeechobee, put it on your bucket list and call Captain Rob, I promise you, you will have a memory that will last you a lifetime. Thank you Captain Rob, see you next year. Dave R.”

“Captain Steve Niemoeller. I booked a trip for 3. My father, my son, and myself. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to do this, and ending up with Captain Steve was another blessing.

If I get the chance to do something like this again, you're the ones I'll call.”

2 great days on Okeechobee
★★★★★
“My buddy Rick and I had 2 full days (Feb 4 and 5, 2017) on Lake Okeechobee with guid Brett Isackson, it was a blast. The first day he had us over 50 fish, with multiple 4,5,6,7 and an 8 pounder. Wind picked up the next day so we couldn't return to the same sport as the previous day, so Brett found us a different spot based on the wind conditions and direction. We got over 60 bass the second day, we really didn't think we could beat day 1, but did. Brett was a real pro. I got his name as a guide at Bass Online from a friend and had done one previous trip with he and another guide, and our boat got 49 on the Big O that day as well. I'd highly recommend Brett for any trip, this guy can put you on quality fish as well as quantity. Thanks again for a great 2 days Brett!!!”

Ron and Chad’s Orlando Fishing Trip
★★★★★
“I wanted to thank you for a great fishing trip this past Sunday. We are finally drying out but still are on cloud 9 from the fishing trip we took with you last Sunday. That is all we talked about for the rest of our trip. Chad and I want you to know how much we appreciated the extra effort you gave to get us to the lake and on the fish. I will admit the weather conditions weren’t good for the guys in the boat but they certainly were good for catching fish. I hope you realize you have now ruined our fishing here in Ohio. I certainly will be recommending you and Bass Online in the future and Chad and I are already trying to figure out how to get back down for another trip with you.”
- Ron and Chad
An awesome guide
★★★★★
“I have been bass fishing for 40 years. When I am on vacation near a lake I often hire a guide to go bass fishing. The best guide I have ever met is Captain Mark Shepard. He knows lake Okeechobee like it was his backyard. He turns on his magic and we go catch bass. The biggest bass of my life, an 11.3 pounder was on a trip with Mark. One time he found a huge school. I caught 100 bass in an hour. My arms got so tired I had to stop fishing. When the conditions are bad and no one is catching anything, Mark can always find some catchable fish. If you're looking for the best possible day of fishing call Bass Online”

Of course having a great day means having great Captain. Upon arrival, Mark was ready with the boat & equipment, so we didn't miss a minute of precious fishing time. He took excellent care of us & spent extra time with me (I'm a novice). The result? I caught a 6 pound bass! I highly recommend Capt. Mark Shepard.

Good time on Okeechobee
★★★★★
“My wife and I fished with Captain Mike Groshon on Okeechobee yesterday afternoon for the first time. We started out using shiners and caught some nice fish throughout the afternoon. Mike was very helpful and patient in teaching us how and when to set the hook and reel them in. Later in the afternoon we switched to artificial lures at my request. I caught my personal best of a 6.5 lb largemouth that felt like setting a hook into a boulder! We recommend Captain Mike and will fish with him again in the future.”

“My wife and I just went to Okeechobee for our second time with Mark. Day started slow with a couple fish, but Mark used his knowledge of the lake and weather pattern and made one move that no one else seemed to think of as this particular spot had no other boats. My wife's first cast in the new spot....BOOM 7lbs 6oz bender for her personal best. Couple casts later...SMACK I real in a 10lbs 9oz trophy bass! I'm still shaking two days later. This was also my personal best. We crushed em the rest of the day with another 7, a 6 and bunch of 4 and 5lbs bass. Mark not only knows his fishing, but he's a fun time and great guy. Thanks Mark!”

“Our first day on the water was such a great day, my father and I decided to book another half day trip two days later while we were on vacation here. Our guide was Capt Steve. He was the most knowledgeable person about bass fishing that we could've had. He took us to all his great spots where we caught about 30 fish each day. I even caught an 7.4 LB bass and it was my personal best trophy bass. If you want to have a great day on the water I highly recommend Steve as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

On a day that didn't look to promising Mike shared a few of his secrecy spots with us and it paid off. With over 30 fish in the boat and plenty of our target peacock bass we were more than satisfied and left with big smiles on our faces. Thanks again Mike G. and bass online!”

Okeechobee bass'n
★★★★★
“My father and I loved our fishing trip to lake Okeechobee. Our guide Larry Cross man is a very knowledgeable fisherman who is also a terrific person. My father and I always use lures, Larry tried to get us to fish shiners. We had two days of fishing scheduled and it was during the super moon and a cold front. Larry had us to the hot spots and we fished very hard 8 hours Monday and 8 hours Tuesday. Very tough to get bit. Only caught a few dinks. Wednesday after breakfast (thinking what are we to do today) I received a text from Larry saying pick you guys up in 20 minutes be ready to go fishing. We could not be happier! Larry picked us up and told us we were going shiner fishing on him! Wow! We caught between 20-25 bass. Dad even cought a 6.5 lb. 22 in. His biggest ever! All in 4 hours. It made us so happy, turned the whole trip to unforgettable! I really recommend Larry and bass online for a guided trip to the big O! Thank you so very much Larry Crossman for all you did! Hopefully get down to fish with you again some day!”

“We always say we will write reviews for places and never do. This one is much needed, we booked a 4 hour Bass trip in middle of August 2016, and ended up with an amazing guide, Capt. Mike Groshon. It started with a check in phone call the day before which was very informative and helpful. In the morning we met Capt. Mike and couldn't of been any happier with the turnout. He was professional yet personable and it truly exceeded our expectations. We had fished many times before but never on a bass boat. He was there to help when we needed and to stand by and watch when we doing what we already knew. Both of us learned so much from him. I can't thank him enough for being our guide and giving us an adventure we will never forget. Over a dozen fish were caught and we left feeling like our money was well spent. Highly recommend!”

But more importantly, we shared stories and time with a skilled fishing professional. Capt. Rob fulfilled my husband's lifelong dream. We both highly recommend him. Thanks again Capt. Rob.”

Love this lake!!
★★★★★
“My grandparents have a beautiful home here. I try to visit almost every other week. I don't know what the above review is saying. There are some giants here. Big ole bucket mouths!!Flipping seems to be key. But my buddy has pulled 9.4 lb time before last we were fishing on a spinner bait. But medlock jigs and creature baits/flipping craws on reeds and laydowns seem to pay out. Top water is great and so are swim baits. Absolutely love this lake! Prefer it over the big O. Not going to give out my spots but drive around. The lake is beautiful.”

FISHING ON LAKE TOHO
★★★★★
“Four Brits took a half day off from theme park rides and had a great mornings fishing on Lake Toho, Florida in March 2016. We used the services of Captain Steve Niemoeller, who put us on the fish from the first cast. Total of about 26 bass and a couple of pike (thats the British version). One bass went 8 pounds 5 ozs. Never been bass fishing before, thoroughly enjoyable and made all the better by a great Captain who was a great help to us bass novices. Really recommend the both the fishing experience and Capt Steve.”

Bad Day

Will seek out new service next year......................................................................................................Management: "Jerry, we are sincerely sorry the trip did not work out as expected. After researching the trip, we noticed you waited to book the trip until a day before you wanted to go? This is never good to do, especially during peak season and spring break, all good services are sold out. We tried our hardest because you were a repeat customer to get you on the water and unfortunately the only availability was the late afternoon, which you agreed too...as for the weather that was just really bad timing and Florida afternoon showers. Next year give us a call earlier and we will make it up to you because we value your business!"”

Two Great Days with Capt. Leech
★★★★★
“I fished with John Leech on February 7th and 12th and had a blast both days. It was just me and John the first day and the conditions were nasty (cold and windy), but we put a lot of big fish in the boat. The second day, my father-in-law and I both fished in nicer weather and John again put us on quality fish. John was a pleasure to fish with. He was good company. He changed depth, location, and presentation throughout the day to dial us in on the fish. And he gave us helpful, kind feedback on what we could do to connect with more fish.”

Jan 26, 2016 Trip!
★★★★★
“My wife and I recently took a trip out on Lake Okeechobee with Capt Mark Rose and got everything we were looking for! Mark was extremely knowledgeable and informative on fishing tips, and he supported his side by putting us onto big fish! We hit several spots throughout the day hunting down the bass based off of current water changes, clarity, temps, etc...and it never failed that wherever he took us next had more bass. What made the trip even more enjoyable was the fact that Mark was very personable and my wife and I enjoyed his company. We look forward to our next trip with Mark and hopefully he can help us land that trophy 10+lbs bass!”

Okeechobee Success!

“I want to thank Bassonline and Captain Jason Young for the memory of a lifetime last month. I called to inquire about a charter on Lake Okeechobee on Aug. 10th and the next day I was on the lake; as easy as that. Captain Jason Young was the best! Not only did he take my 8 y/o daughter and I to the "sweet spot" but was a great guy as well. And even more importantly, he paid extra attention to my daughter to help her haul in a "boat load" of largemouth bass! We had an awesome time and I recommend Captain Jason Young to anyone with or without children. Thanks again, Kevin and Mia”

Lake Osborne Fishing
★★★★★
“I have fished this lake for over 20years and have fished all my life thanks to my grandfather. This is by far the best lake I have fished from New Hampshire to Florida. I have fought a number of large mouth bass usually on a Charlie's purple worm that's all I use and most of the time I catch a bass within 10 minutes of fishing. The largest I have ever caught was 14 pounds of course I threw her back like I always do.”

Capt Dave Lauer on Okeechobee
★★★★★
“We knew our fishing experience on Okeechobee would be a memorable one, what we didn't know is just how an important role our guide would play. We had Dave Lauer and words can't describe just much Dave added to our experience. He knew where the fish were, how to catch them and how to get the most out of our trip. We're sure all the guides are good and know their stuff but can't imagine doing this again and not having Dave by our sides coaching us along. Thanks for the great memories Dave. Tracey and Darrin”

Capt Steve Niemoeller on Rodman
★★★★★
“I was with Captain Steve on Rodman reservoir and we had a fabulous two days of fishing. Steve found some good locations to fish. We did not spend a lot of idle time. Most importantly, I had my thirteen year old great nephew with me and Captain Steve could not have been more solicitous. IN the future, the boy will continue to play his video games like all teenagers but he will drop everything to fish with his great uncle and Captain Steve. Kudos to Captain Steve for helping insure that a kid becomes a fisherman for life!”

Terrible Starke Lake
★★★☆☆
“Have fished Stark lake ( only off the dock's) several times and I really wish i could get that time of my life back. Horrible horrible experience. Most everyone has no sense of decency, nor do they care. The lake seems to have been fished dry, not anything anytime i have went. Save yourself the time and if you really want to waste a day not catching anything by all means, you will have the same luck fishing in your local pool! Resp: Sorry to hear you had should a bad experience on Stark lake, it can be a lot better from a boat fishing deeper water...thanks for the review.”

“If you want French in North America, go to Québec or trek to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, two French territorial islands in the North Atlantic near Newfoundland. If, on the other hand, you want to visit Cuba without leaving the US, go to Miami. And if you also want, as I did, to experience fishing for the Amazon’s peacock bass, you can actually do that in South Florida.”

Trip Of A Lifetime
★★★★★
“My family surprised me Christmas morning 2014 with a guided Bass Fishing trip on Lake Okeechobee with Captain Jason Young of the Bassonline.com team they found on the internet site. I made my way to the Lake and met Jason after we had picked up some shiners at the local bait shop. Our first hour was slow and we made a move from the first spot, but the second spot was hot. Within 5 minutes I caught a 7 lb Bass followed by a couple 5 and a couple 3 pounders. By 10 o'clock I had boated 23 pounds. When that bite died off, Jason navigated us to another spot and we flipped plastic jigs catching several 2 and 3 lb bass on the jigs. About 1:45 PM a severe storm system moved in and washed out our last two hours but I'd had so much fun and success that we agreed to call it a day. Jason was an excellent guide and a pleasure to fish with. I referred friends to him and plan on returning again to go after some more Big Bass. Thanks Captain Jason for a great trip and helping me catch the fish of a lifetime!”
