Absolutely Had the Best Fishing Trip Once again had an incredible trip with Captain Brian. This was the fourth trip down fishing with and with me and my oldest son Carson and the first for his little brother Preston. We caught 32 bass with 17 of them being over 4#’s and P.B.’s for all three of us. I caught an 8#10oz, Preston 8#12oz, and Carson 9#10oz. We can’t wait to get back down again for another shot at a 10# or bigger!

Best Bass Time Capt. Brian knows the lake and how to put you on the fish. My wife and I caught many bass 16-18” with some larger 5 - 6 lbs as well.

Had a great experience Had a great experience. The two guides I had, Captain Brian Brown and Captain Bobby were excellent. Very knowledgeable friendly and always helpful. They both made it the best of a bad fishing trip. I was only able to catch 10 fish in 3 days of fishing. I found out that fishing at Lake Okeechobee has been bad for the past 2 years. Due in part to the eradication of some vegetation, water temperature, wind etc. Even though it was not a good fishing trip, it was a great experience being able to be on the Big O and spending time with the guides. I will be coming back down again but, probably going to another Lake, hopefully with the same 2 guides. (Restaurants not very good. The best was Sonny's BBQ)

Great trip Had a great trip with Captain Brian Brown. We fished with shiners to start out and while the bite wasnât the greatest, still managed to boat some nice bass. We had to cut our trip short due to weather and some engine problems, but I still had a good time just being out on the water. Will definitely fish with him again. read moreread less

Captain Brian Brown We (70 year old grand parents and an eight year old grandchild) went out on a four hour afternoon charter with Captain Brian Brown. We caught 16 bass and lost almost as many as we caught due to lack of experience - everyone caught at least one four pound or larger bass. Capt. Brown was knowledgeable, personable and quite helpful with those of us who hadn't fished before. read moreread less

Bass and more Bass We went on a fishing guided tour with Captain Brian Brown. Your captain can make or break your trip and our captain was right on. We caught 33 fish between the 2 of us and even though the conditions were not ideal (cold and wind) our captain was able to keep it very enjoyable as we reeled in fish after fish. We did not bait a hook or take off a fish all day as it was obvious we were on vacation. Thanks again Captain Brian Brown read moreread less

After a quick discussion, we went and launched at the boat ramp next to the on Hoover Dike Rd. In about five minutes we were in the boat and onto Lake Okeechobee fishing. Captain Brian Brown was AWSOME! He took us right to where the fish were and with in a few minutes we were on nice large mouth bass. Captain Brown was very knowledgable of where to drop our bait, different ways of presenting it and helping us set the hooks the correct way.

3 days of Okeechobee Slaunches Just spent 3 days on the water with Captain Brian Brown with BassOnline with my 2 boys (8 and 5) we had three action packed days catching approx. 150 fish and averaging 1 fish every 8 minutes. Captain Brown is a superb captain and great person to spend a few days with. I have fished with him in the past and was very fortunate to be able to fish with him again. He worked really hard for me and my boys to have 3 very successful days when others were not doing so well around us.
