My brother and I had a great 6 hour trip with Capt. Bobby Kimble. Got into some good fish on a slow day. He worked hard, was very helpful, and a certainly someone you could easily spend 6 hours with on a boat! His 21’ Nitro is comfortable and well-equipped. We fished with shiners on Okachobee, but he chases other species like peacock bass on other waters. Look forward to fishing with him again. He was in touch the day before our trip, was at the ramp ready to go when we arrived, and got us back before the storm! All in all, a great day on the water!

Captain Bobby Kimble did a great job giving the conditions of the windy weather and fish kill. Still put us on some bucket list fish. Knowledgeable of the area and attentive. We had a great time. Definitely would recommend and go out with him again.

👎 👎 👎 While we were able to catch a couple of fish and there were moments that could have been enjoyable, our experience was heavily overshadowed by our guide, Bobby Kimle. His constant smart-aleck comments and self-aggrandizing talk made the trip uncomfortable and frustrating. It felt more like an ego trip for him than a guided experience for us. This behavior took away from what should have been a fun and memorable outing. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this guide to others looking for a respectful and professional experience.

Perfect Day on the Water First time fishing for Peacocks. Bobby was awesome. His knowledge of the fishing spots and fish behaviors is on point. Getting hits in the first 5 minutes at our first stop. His boat is sick. So much room to wander and cast. Taught me some cool casting techniques and made everything smooth. So many charters out there. Glad I picked this one.

I booked my trip through Bass Online Fishing Guides for a chance to catch my first peacock bass. I met my guide, Captain Bobby Kimble at the Lake Ida boat ramp a little before 7 for my 6 hour trip. We were greeted with an early morning shower but after that we had a beautiful day. We had a great time on the water talking fishing and getting to know each other while we chased those peacock bass. After I had missed a couple I finally connected with my first peacock and I would have called it a successful day, but Captain Bobby wouldn't let the fun end there. A few hours later, I had caught several peacock bass, a Mayan Cichlid. With our time running out I made a cast to a shady patch of over hanging vegetation with my topwater bait and had a huge explosion. After a short battle and a quick net job I had landed my first snakehead weighing over six pounds. To say the day was a success would be an understatement. I would recommend booking a trip through Bass Online Fishing Guides when you're ready to catch some fish, and if you ask for, Captain Bobby Kimble you won't be disappointed.

Lake Ida Fishing Charters Charter captain Bobby Kimble is the real deal. He’s an amazing guide with an extended knowledge of South Florida fisheries. He will put you on the fish to create memories that will last a lifetime. My dad and I caught our personal best peacock bass with him right before the polar vortex when the bite was tough. We would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to catch quality and quantity of fish.

We did a 4 hour morning trip. Beat everyone to a productive spot. Learned a couple techniques from the very enthusiastic captain. Fresh bait. I’m a saltwater guy. Probably the best day of freshwater fishing I’ve ever done. I think we tallied 22 fish for 2 of us. Other guy with me caught: largemouth, Mayan ciclid, several peacocks and a clown knife! In 4 hours. Moved around a lot . Nice boat. Great value. A lot of great action.

This was one of my best days on the water. As soon as i started doing exactly like Captain Bobby had been telling me, FISH ON BABY! Captain Bobby was right on time and just as eager as we’re to be out there and on the fish, not to mention he was just as excited when we started catching them. He loves is job and it shows. I would highly recommend him to anyone who reads this and all of my friends and family.

He provided high quality equipment and drinks for our day. I finally caught a peacock bass (make that many) I’ve been dreaming about since I was a kid.

Went out with Captain Bobby on Lake Okeechobee and made memories. Bite was very different than what I’m used to but still managed to catch bass, catfish and a bowfin. 4 hours was enough to catch about 15 fish total with plenty of missed opportunities but we’ll be back again.

Had an awesome last minute trip with Captain Bobby on Lake Ida. Went mid day and brought in 15-20 fish, which is crazy considering the time we went, and it being not quite season. Peacock, Largemouth and Mayan Cichlids. Great captain who will put you on fish fast, and is a great guy to talk to. His boat was awesome as well, we got out to our spots in a few minutes. Would highly recommend.

A Great Day of Fishing We had a great day with Captain Kimble, He is very easy going and fun. He helped us with everything, even casting my wife's pole to get her bait under the docks. We caught a lot of fish and some really good size ones at that. He is a pro! I heartily recommend him to anybody who wants to catch a peacock bass. He will get you there and you will catch fish. My wife always wanted to catch a peacock bass, even had it on her bucket list. Captain Kimble helped make that dream happen. We both walked away happy. As a side note he let us bring our chihuahua with us, even our dog had fun, a great time and well worth every penny. I could write a whole page about how great Captain Kimble is.

Peacock Bass And Lots More Booked an 8 hour trip with Bobby Kimble on Lake Ida. We were fishing shortly after a cold front and Bobby warned us the fishing might be slow, but we decided to try it, and very glad we did. Ended the day with 32 fish, including 20 peacock bass and 7 other species. We had a blast. Bobby is not only very knowledgeable about fishing, but a ton of fun to spend a day with. I'd highly recommend Bobby to anyone who loves fishing and wants to enjoy a great day on the water.

Peacock Bass And Lots More Booked an 8 hour trip with Bobby Kimble on Lake Ida. We were fishing shortly after a cold front and Bobby warned us the fishing might be slow, but we decided to try it, and very glad we did. Ended the day with 32 fish, including 20 peacock bass and 7 other species. We had a blast. Bobby is not only very knowledgeable about fishing, but a ton of fun to spend a day with. I'd highly recommend Bobby to anyone who loves fishing and wants to enjoy a great day on the water.
Went out with Bobby, he’s just an all-around terrific guy, and he’s a heck of a guide. He was so concerned about us because there had just been a severe cold front. But he still put us on 33 fish and we caught nine different species! The peacock bass were awesome, also caught a clown knife fish, and some Cichlid which were a bonus. I’d go out with a him again in a heartbeat.

Great fishing with Bobby Kimble Our guide, Bobby Kimble, was a Great guide. We had never been to Lake Ida, but he showed us a magnificent day of fishing for 4 hours on a glorious day, perfect blue sky, and many fish caught by Simon, our 10-year-old grandson, Simon caught 11 fish, and Bobby sent us all the pictures. One was almost 4 lbs. Bobby knew just where to go to find the fish. I learned a lot about this kind of lake fishing. Bobby was great and would look forward to another fishing trip with him as our guide. His boat was perfect for 2 anglers, and clean.

Captain Bio
Meet Captain Bobby
Capt Bobby Kimble is a full-time fishing guide in Palm Beach, Florida, and he was born in VA. As a teen, I was introduced to fishing and was hooked.
His love of sports and the outdoors kept him busy. He coached Little League football for 5 years and hockey for 4 years, so he loves working with kids. He also participated in high school gymnastics for 4 years, organized football for 7 years, and played high school and adult inline hockey for 23 years.
The entire time, always finding time to go fishing. Living in VA, the cold weather limited my fishing to 6 months per year. So we moved the family south, where we opted for the year-round fun in the sun of Florida. Over the years, always taking my friends and family out, I set myself on the path of becoming a fishing guide.
Bobby says I get a great sense of satisfaction in sharing my knowledge and experiences with others while on the water!
Living and fishing in the local area allows him the ability to have a superior experience on a select choice of lakes.
