Some of the best fishing I've ever done in my life!! My favorite part of the trip was catching so many fish was Captain Mark Rose. I caught so many peacock bass that my hands were sore and my arms were tired. Captain Mark Rose is a master at his trade. He knows where to find the fish and what to use to haul them in. I will definitely be back to fish with him again and again. He's a great guy, he's really easy to get along with, and fun to fish with. 
Ripping lips all day! I had an amazing time Bass fishing with Captain Mark Rose and Mark Shepard. Both of them are true professionals. We fished 2 days back to back each 8 hour trips. We were hooked up on Bass right away and it lasted ALL DAY! They did NOT disappoint! I canât wait to come back. 
AWESOME!!! BOOK A TRIP WITH CAPT MARK ROSE! I booked a 2 day bass fishing trip on Okeechobee for my daughter and I and we had a great time catching large mouth bass. Mark knew exactly where to take us to catch them. The second day was forecasted to be colder so Mark offered to take us to the Falls near Miami and fish for Peacock bass. What a blast...he went above and beyond to make sure we caught fish and had a good trip. I highly recommend fishing with Mark. We will be back!

Marketing outstanding job I put my good fishing experience as a priority. A real professional, I feel like I made a friend today thanks Mark for everything 
Fishing trip with Captain Mark Rose My father and I had taken a 6 hour fishing trip with Captain Mark Rose this past week. It was nothing but a great experience for both my father and I. Mark put on some great lake Okeechobee bass. We both had an absolute great time with Mark he was very nice and kind to us. The fishing was unbeliavble me and my father had caught some of the biggest bass of our lives. Mark is an excellent guide and we are looking forward to booking more trips with him in the future! 
4-Hour Tour with Mark Rose Mark Rose took us in Naples , Florida for Large mouth,& Peacock Bass ..We Caught them while everyone going by weren't catching anything. Mark is a gifted fisherman with skills like no other. He will be the only captain I will every use. His Excellent skills of fishing were seen by me and my friends that day that day. 
Parces family w Capt Mark Rose What a great way to spend Sunday morning with my biggest motivation, my family, and some fun Bass fishing with Mark Rose!! And we were in Lake Okeechobee where my Construction company is building work on the Herbert Hoover Dike!!
Bass trip to Everglades with Mark Rose Had a great trip with Captain Mark Rose. Mark is knowledgeable, easygoing, has great gear, and put us on fish. That's all you could ask for ! Great day of wildlife viewing, and Mark is very knowledgeable about the area and provided great advice on how to fish. I look forward to fishing with him again ! 
A day you will never forget Went out with Capt Mark Rose out of Clewiston Fl. (bassonline.com) to enjoy the day and catch some bass. To say catch some bass was a understatement! We caught around 35 bass in 4 hours and caught two fish that I will never forget. One 7 lb and one 9 lb bass!! Lets just say after hauling in 35 bass my arms were a little tired! We had several bass in the 3-5 lb range and several double hook ups! My two boys did not want to come with (too boring) needless to say they missed out on a great adventure. If you are coming down to the area this is a must fish lake! Mark is a great guy very personable and and knowledgeable about the lake Thanks Mark for putting us on these awesome fish!! 
Fantastic Fishing Day! Had a great day fishing Lake Okeechobee with Captain Mark Rose. He put us on a hot spot and we caught a tonne of fish all day! I think between the two of us, we caught 40-50 fish, including a 9.4 lb whopper! We also missed landing at least another 15-20 fish...it was incredible! 
Peacock Bass Fishing- Naples Golden Gate Canal Captain Mark Rose took us out on Golden Gate Canal in Naples to catch Peacock Bass and boy did he deliver. Was with my 2 teenage sonâs (14&16) and my dad. We caught well over 30 fish in a 4 hour trip. Most of the fish were Peacock Bass. They are so much fun to fight and reel in. We also caught Snook and Largemouth Bass. Mark works hard to ensure your enjoyment and experience. Canât wait till the next time we go out and we would definitely book with Mark again. 
Amazing experience with bass online fishing trip! My fiancé and I went on this bass fishing trip, it was a wonderful experience. We caught 44 bass between myself and my lover. Our captain Mark Rose was a wonderful hostess, he set up our poles, took the bass off our lines when we caught them and was very knowledgeable, we learned some new skills and techniques that we could now use when we fish on our own. I would recommend this to friends and family I rate it 5 stars and would go on another trip in the future! 
Great experience Iâve lived in South Florida now for 13 years and never fished on Lake O. I booked this trip with Capt Mark Rose and he exceeded my expectations and took us out and put us on some monster bass. Iâve heard this Lake had some of the best bass fishing in the country and now I can confirm it. We caught nearly 30 fish in our 4 hour trip. One bass was 7.94lbs, one was 6.8lbs and several others in the 5-6lb range. If youâve never fished on this Lake, youâre missing out. I highly recommend Mark Rose as your guide, heâll put you on some very nice fish. Thanks again for the great experience. 
why book Capt. Mark Rose? I picked a cool day after a near freeze to book my first guide. not the best choice. I picked Capt Mark Rose. the best choice. he had me on fish right away and kept me in action all day despite the fact that few others we talked to or saw were catching much of anything. my experience on Okochobee was so positive that I will travel to lake Erie this spring to fish with Mark again. if you can only book one guide this year, make sure it's Capt. Mark Rose. 
Bass Online & Captain Mark did the right thing. He called and was apologized. He offered us another trip. He truly cares about his clients. We appreciated his wanting to correct the situation, Kim Woodin

Fishing w/ Captain Mark Rose My dad and I booked a 4 hour fishing trip w/ Mark Rose on the south side of Lake Okeechobee (Clewiston to be exact) and we had a great time. Caught quite a few large mouth bass. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect and captain was kind. Go fish! 
Excellent Fishing Trip Captain Mark Rose really put us on the fish on Okeechobee today. We caught 50+ bass with many over 5-7lbs. Highly recommend using Bass Online to book your next fishing trip and Capt Mark Rose. He knows the lake well and you will have the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime 
Naples Peacock trip Normally I would not respond in a review and would call the Captain directly, but I was so disappointed I felt I had to write this review. The weather in Florida has been off all year and has affected fishing throughout. When we got here I called several guides about Indian River, St. Lucie River, Ft Pierce inlet trips, etc. They all told me due to the hurricane the fishing was altered to the point they wouldn't go. I called our Bass online guide as it had been unseasonably cold to see if the fishing would be affected in Naples. He assured me we would be on fish and told us to come over for a Wed. trip. It was a big decision for us as we had two nights hotel, a dog, and travel from the east Coast. All I expect from a guide is an honest response as to fishing conditions so I can determine if it is worth spending 8-900 dollars on a day trip with all expenses, as the guides in the aforementioned areas had. We could have planned our trip anytime before March. The entire time we fished Captain Rose spoke of how bad the fishing had been recently because of the weather yet when I asked him specifically about this trip he assured me fishing had not been greatly affected and we should come. We were targeting Peacock Bass and caught very few. We also trolled most of the time in lieu of fishing structures which is the best way to catch Peacocks from past experience. Until there are good fishing days in the bank I would not advise taking this trip. Especially at a cost of just South of $500 with tip. We have had some good trips with Bass Online last year but this year has been suspect. Maybe try a guide that lives here full time and has everyday experience for years in the water you want to fish.
