Largemouth bass fishing at its best We went out on a family trip with Captain DJ and had a very successful experience; we came away with 21 largemouth bass. The kids enjoyed the experience and were super proud of the fish they caught with their own hands. It was a hands-on experience and good fun for the whole family!!

My family had a fabulous time with our guide DJ Timms. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We did 3 days of fishing and he was awesome at being patient with three women who don’t know much on fishing. My dad and brother-in-law had a wonderful time as well. We will for sure come back.

We fished 6hours with DJ Timms. It was anticipated to be a "trip of a life time". It was on our bucket list of, " bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee". It was that and much more! Dj was the best! On time, answered all uou questions way before the trip. Friendly, spoke the language (bass talk lingo) and made us feel good about our knowledge of bass fishing eventhough we were from Michigan. We cought many bass and one catfish. All with his help! It was just the best all around. A great boat that he kept clean during the trip. Just a boat lover! So are we. So, DJ is highly recommended and we will be back! 1-10 10 being a perfect trip. 12. Yep, a 12. Thanks for a dream come true!

Best Okeechobee Guide We went fishing on a 6 hour trip with DJ Timms and had a blast fishing. For our first fish my wife caught a 7.04 lb bass and it was on from there. We caught a 6lb, couple of 5 lb, and numerous 3 lb bass all while having a great laid back relaxing time. Do yourself a favor and book with the best Okeechobee fish guide DJ Timms. Oh and we caught like 10 catfish too. Book today! We will be back for another trip soon.

I've used Bass Online for several years taking clients to lake Okeechobee and everyone is fantastic! Lori takes great care of the details and the guides are fantastic! DJ Timms knows this like lake like few can because he grew up on the lake. If you are looking to fish the lake or around South FL, do yourself a solid and connect with Bass Online.

My enjoy all the time An amazing day today; the captain DJ was great. Showed us exactly what to do and even cut the fish up so we could cook it when we got home. There were 4 of us today, and between us we caught 15+ fish in 4 hours. and everyone came off the boat with the biggest smile on their face worth every single penny of it. Not many activities you can pay so little for per person. Thank you for our best day out since we have been here.

great value for money! We did the four-hour trip, which is done with Bass Online Fishing Guides. This is perfect for families, as the skill required is minimal. The team was friendly and helped out, and thanks a lot, Captain DJ. Everyone got at least one largemouth bass, and the view of Lake Okeechobee is stunning.

Guide DJ Timms took our family out for a fishing trip on Golden Gate. My 11 year old son wanted to catch a peacock bass! Also along on the trip was my 5 year old son and my MIL. We had the best time! Although it was hot and the water temps were very warm and the bite was slow we still caught 10 fish! We caught a catfish, a tarpon, a snooke, and 7 peacock bass. DJ was attentive and patient with all of us. We hope to return for another trip some day!

DJ is an excellent fishing guide. 4 of us went fishing in the Everglades for Peacock and largemouth bass and had a great time fishing with DJ. We all caught around 20 fish each. Including some very large fish.
I have guide fished over a hundred times in my life and would put DJ’s trip in the top 5. Thanks DJ for a great day of fishing.

Nice day on the lake We went out for a 4 hour tour with DJ. DJ was a great captain and taught us some things about bass fishing we never knew. Fish weren’t biting too much for us but we all managed to catch a fish or two. Would definitely like to come back when the fish are biting a little more.

Iguana hunt Had a great time with DJ super friendly guy and very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing and what he’s looking for. He’s a very honest person on what he does and not out for ur money but out to have a good time with you. we didn’t get a lot of sun in the morning which made the hunt difficult but he still managed to get us on iguanas! I was even able to get one with my bow rig which I never thought was going to be a possibility but not even 10 minutes into the hunt we got plenty of shots off and managed to get some cool pictures! 10/10 will go again!

He was helpful, professional, courteous, patient, and was willing to teach his trade......oh yeah, he's got a pretty good sense of humor too. We highly recommend using him and look forward to fishing with him in the future.

Bass fishing Went out on Okeechobee with DJ and had a great day. What to expect… super clean boat / truck / tackle, very professional, respectful and highly knowledgeable bass (largemouth & peacock) guide. I’ve been bass fishing for 34 years and literally learned 7 new things while on DJ’s boat. Several of them significantly improved my flipping technique! Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a serious guide who knows what he is doing.

CAPT DJ TIMMS took us out 3 days on lake okeechobee. He contacted us before hand about what to bring and what to expect. During our trip he was very informative about the lake and it's surrounding. We had a great time and would highly recommend him. If we were to return to the area we would definitely use him again.

peacock bass fishing with my daughter We had a wonderful day on the water with Capt. DJ. My daughter and I caught about 20 peacocks and a couple largemoth. Since watching a fishing show when i was a kid where they were catching peacock bass on the Amazon I always wanted to go. My daughter started school at FGCU and when researching local fishing (we are from Wisconsin) I discovered I didn't have to go to the Amazon to catch them. They are a lot of fun to catch and beautiful fish.

Anther successful day with DJ Timms 4th time out fishing Florida bass with DJ Yesterday and another great day. My brother and I caught peacock bass in the everglades this time. Fishing with DJ means he will be there when you get there, the boat will be loaded up, minnows purchased, water stocked, rods and reels all lined up like Rockettes, his boat is immaculate. He can get to areas where there are fish that others would not find, And more important than anything else, he is a guy you can spend a whole day in a boat with. He doesn't try to out fish you, because he doesn't even fish when he's guiding, he prefers to stick to guiding duties, making sure you get the most out of your day. Stop looking, you found the captain you want to fish with.

Kids trip success Afternoon fish/hunt boat trip with the kids (3&5). DJ was professional, laid back, and fun. We picked off some iguanas (my wife became a warrior out there and could not get enough) and we caught some beautiful peacock bass. Kids were entertained the whole time. The goal was to have a memorable day on the water and DJ delivered. I sport fish regularly and could tell that DJ could turn up the heat and fish hard too. I’d certainly call him for a hardcore fishing day as well.

A good day out. My brother David and I met DJ at 7:00 am and we had bait in the water by 7:30. We landed a 5 pounder within minutes. The day was beautiful, the fishing was hit and miss, and DJ was a great guide. We’ll be hiring him again soon and send our friends to him.

Laid back and easy going DJ kept trying to get us on fish. He was so laid back and easy going we really didn’t care too much. Even when someone else on the boat ya Jed the rod yo see the hook and it came out of the water flying right at his head, he laughed and joked about it the rest of the day. We all caught fish, so that’s what we needed. His boat is top notch. With 5 people on board, it never felt like we rocked at all when anyone moved around. We highly recommend DJ!! Thanks again, Captain!

We were on the water in 5 mins and catching fish within the first 20. DJ helped rigging, pointed us in the right direction and held great conversation all day. He was very personable and willing to help the entire day. Definitely the guide you want on lake Okeechobee!

Capt DJ Timms I am an avid Bass fisherman, i always wanted to fish okeechobee. Finally I got the chance to come down and do it. The day started off great and finished even better. Not only did I catch fish, I learned so much form Capt Timms about the lake and Bass fishing in general. When the day was done , I felt like I had been fishing with a friend rather than a guide. To say the least he was phenomenal. I will be back for Peacock season!

Great trip for the family Capt DJ Timms took us out for the morning, and helped all 4 of us catch some bass. Only one of the four of us had ever fished with shiners before, and he taught each of us what it took to land a bass. He found a couple good spots, and was able to put every cast in exactly the spot he wanted and where he knew the fish would be. I know it can be hard to support four inexperienced fishermen at one time, and he did it well and with a smile. Thanks for a great day!
