A Day I Will Never Forget
★★★★★
“ Capt Mike Groshon took my Dad, Uncle and I out for a guided trip on Lake Toho on a chilly overcast day in January. I have bass fished quite a few times in my life, but mainly with a fly rod. I told Capt Mike this and he gave us detailed instructions on how to use his rod set up. His detailed instructions, and his many years of experience allowed us to consistently land impressive Bass. I was able to land a 7.34lbs Bass, which was by far the largest Bass I had ever caught. I can honestly say that was one of the most fun fishing experiences I’ve ever had. I will never forget this day, it was full of joy, family, nature, and the thrill of hooking impressive Bass. Capt Mike is friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and clearly prioritizes the success of his clients. If I am in the area again, I will definitely book with Capt Mike again! Thank you so much, Capt Mike!”

“ Well, it was hot out! Captain Mike was concerned about the bite, but he had a plan. We fished with free line live bait. My daughter and I caught several peacock bass and cichlid. Captain Mike gave us simple instructions and is an extremely knowledgeable guide with great patience. His bass boat setup is impressive to say the least. We enjoyed the Captain's personality and felt safe on the water. Thank you for some great memories!”

“ My son and I had a great trip with Captain Mike! He told me before we went the fishing it was going to be tough due to the extreme cold front the week before and the current water temps still being low, but we caught fish anyway. He put is in the right spots and we ended up catching several large mouth bass as well as 5 or 6 peacock bass in a 4 hour trip with all the odds staked against us.”

“ Took me and my husband out today peacock bass fishing on Lake Ida. We had the best time despite having to sit under a dock a couple times from the rain. Captain Mike made our day. Being a 2 year breast cancer survivor I do not take anything for granted and enjoy every minute I can. So when I told my husband I wanted to catch a peacock bass he booked us a trip and we got the best captain. Thank you Captain Mike you rock we will be back for sure.”

40 fish himself
★★★★★
“ We booked a 2 day trip with Capt Mike for March 2022. To say my family enjoyed it would be an understatement. I believe this will be a new yearly tradition. Mike was amazing! He knew just where to go for the fish. It was a little windy but that didn’t mess up our fishing. When we got back to the dock we caught more fish than others we talked to. Day two was just as good on Okeechobee. Capt Mike was an amazing guide and we had an absolute blast with him. Overall my son caught 40 fish himself for the weekend. We stayed at the bungalow Mike had and it was great. They truly care about the sport itself and making sure you get the most excitement possible. It’s not just about money with them which was what stood out to me the most.”

This my 3rd year
★★★★★
“ This my 3rd year fishing with Captain Mike Groshon. He is a great guide to fish with both professionally and personally. He works hard to put you on fish, even when they don’t want to be found and he has become a great friend. I’ll put it this way, even if we caught loads of fish every time we fish, but the guide is unpleasant and difficult to be with, I would not be a return customer. However, there have been days that fish can’t be caught, and because of who Capt. Mike Groshon is, I will be back! We always catch fish, it’s fun and he works hard for his clients! That is Captain Mike Groshon’s recipe for success and it works. Thanks Mike....see you next year.”

The Entertainer
★★★★★
“ Mike the Entertainer and can fish too !! Well fishing for over 55 years and going on many guided trips I have to say this was in my top 3. Getting Captain Mike Groshon was my lucky day. This guy was respectful, funny, very pleasant and just a joy to fish with. He really knows Lake Ida in Delray Beach Fl and all the canals. Every place we stopped we caught, when it slowed down he made his 5-minute call, which was really 15 and we moved. Another spot and caught fish immediately. We caught peacock bass, my first and several largemouth, and even some Oscar. Mike is a pro, from beginning to end. Want to fish he's the man. I chose the 6-hour trip 7:00 am - 1:00 pm I got to the dock at 7:02 and Mike was there and ready with live bait (which we discussed prior ) I highly recommend this Captain as you can see by my review. Enjoy your trip !”

Peacock Bass Fishing w/ Capt Mike Groshon
★★★★★
“ Bass Online was easy to deal with last minute and offered a very fair Half and Full day rate. The true hero however was Capt. Mike Groshon. I think we got Bass Onlines best Guide? I took my 14 year old with me who is a good little fisherman but we were fishing docks in tight canals so doing a lot of flipping baits into tight places. We each got hung up and broke lines multiple times and Capt Mike instead of being angry about retying his 14th knot kept telling us,"if ur not getting hung up ur not fishing!" What a great attitude. I am a Marine Corps Veteran and found out so is his wife and his son currently serves Navy intelligence. We had a blast with him and he was so kind to my son I just had to reach deep in my pocket for a stellar Captains tip that was well deserved. This post doesnt offer enough room for me to tell you about what a great guide Mike was. Just know I use about 15 guides a year from fresh water to salt water to fly fishing rivers and salt water flats. Guides can be nice on the surface( they want tips) but you can tell they are a bit prickly regarding your casting or hangups etc....Mike is not that guy. Big Heart and expert bass fisherman. If you can get him...Book it!!!! Mark M”

Fun on Lake Ockeechobee
★★★★★
“ We live in the Fla Keys but our roots go back to Alabama. My daughter wanted to go Bass fishing for spring break, so we looked up charter opportunities out of Clewiston as we were familiar with the area. We found Capt Mike, booked a charter (the first one had to be cancelled due to inclement weather) and had an absolute BLAST! Capt Mike was AWESOME! He made us feel super comfortable, and not so stupid, when it came to fishing Bass, lol. I would highly recommend Capt Mike Groshon and iOutdoor Fishing Adventures any day!”

Two brothers greatest adventure
★★★★★
“ My brother and I went through life working, living, doing our own thing but never really doing things together. Since retirement we taken several trips and reconnected but by far this was the most memorable. Thank you captain Mike Gorshon for your professional efforts in making our trip the best under bad conditions.”

Great Fishing and Guides with Bassonline
★★★★★
“ For multiple years I have fished in Florida in the winter using guides from Bassonline/ioutdoors. This year was no exception on Lake Tohopekaliga and in the Everglades. Guides Captains Mike M, Dumas Weiroch and Nick (in the Everglades) were exceptional. All knew the waters and fishing techniques. Excellent boats and gear. Patient when I made a mistake and taught me a lot. Larry W,”

Peacock bass and he delivered!
★★★★★
“ I want to thank Mike Goshon. We booked him looking for Peacock bass and he delivered!! We took a 3 man trip (2 of us are saltwater guides from another area). We know what a good charter trip looks like! Can't speak highly enough of the product he delivered! He was meticulous in his explanation of where and why we were doing what we were doing. Caught over 20 beautiful peacocks and an assortment of other species. 5 stars!”

The Big O with Capt. Mike
★★★★★
“ Lake Okeechobee has been on my bucket list for years. Capt. Mike Gorshon delivered one of the best days on the water me and my wife have ever had and we spend a lot of time on the water. He was a joy to fish with and put us on some Okeechobee monsters. Above all else, he was personable and professional. If you're coming to south Florida book a trip with Capt Mike. You won't be disappointed.”

My husband and I had a great trip
★★★★★
“ My husband and I had a great trip bass fishing out on Lake Okeechobee with Captain Mike Groshon. We booked the 8 hour Okeechobee trip and had a blast! The bite started out slow, but Mike knew all the great spots to take us. He put us on the fish and was really fun to spend the day with! We've been on some other fishing trips where the guide wasn't very personable and it makes for a looooong time out on the water! Not the case with Mike. Mike didn't fish himself but would help us out whenever needed, especially casting for me since I wasn't that great at shortcasting live bait. Would definitely love to go fishing with Mike again! Be warned, the shiners from Slim's are pretty expensive, but they were big and it was really the best way to catch nice bass. We also booked a 6-hour Peacock Bass trip on Lake Osborne for the next day with Captain Dave Lauer. Dave put us on the fish as well, and was personable enough, though we really had a better rapport with Mike. I really wish Dave had a net onboard his boat because we lost a bunch of really nice fish by trying to pull them in by hand. Dave also fished with us and would hand the rod over to us if a fish was on. We had mixed feelings about that--ended up burning through the bait pretty quick. It was a fun day and we'd love to fish Lake Osborne again soon.”
