Rated 5 out of 5 stars based on 5383 customer reviews.
A friend of mine and I went fishing with Bill Goudy at headwaters Lake in mid January. We caught a lot of fish. My friend got one over 6 pounds and I got one just under 5 pounds and a whole lot of them from their own down. The action was steady, sometimes slow, but if you waited it out, it wouldn’t turn on again. Bill does absolutely everything for you, he knows where to go, his equipment is top-notch and I have used him three or four times in the past. You cannot go wrong with Bill.

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.

Pompano Beach is outstanding, puts you right in the middle of all the action, and from a fishing standpoint, limitless opportunities.
If you're in the area, give it a try!

Can't believe all the great variety of fisheries from Ocala. If you want pond hoping, kayaking, and big bass fishing experience, there is something for you.
We love going to Ocala National Forest, but we also put our boat in the Harris Chain of Lakes and drive forever it seems.

Not the type that likes the ocean, so we figured to try our luck on some local favorites. We scheduled a trip on the California Delta, and when we landed. With a couple of days' notice, Captain Arron has us all over the delta. We caught so many fish and a nice variety.
Had so much fun, he told us about Clear Lake, the big difference between the two.
So four days later, we did Clear Lake as well. What a great overall experience, and we are both so happy we took the time to do this while in the Bay area.

Love staying in Port St. Lucie; it's just a short, quiet drive west to famous Lake Okeechobee, which I have done many times. If your taste changes and some peacock bass make your hit list, just a short drive south to Lake Osborone, with world-class fishing. You can't go wrong!

Both lakes have their moment, and each has its best time of day and year. Know both are equally accessible from one board ramp!

The area has some of the best bass fishing in the country. I personally like the Harris Chain of lakes, but there are many good lakes in the area.

Loved fishing near Bradenton for bass. Took my family on vacation. We wanted to explore some freshwater fishing. Found Bass Online and their great guides and went out on Lake Tarpon with Capt Lenny. Great day of fishing with artificial lures! Will be back soon.

Fishing can be off the hook at times, generally determined by the water levels. Always lots of wildlife and endless amounts of alligators!

We knew we were in good hands when Bill communicated with us before the date and right up to the start of the day. He certainly knows how to care for his clients. We had a great day of fishing from the first spot to the last. Caught the biggest bass in my life. Both my son and I totaled over 40 fish for the day. Bill was upbeat, patient, knowledgeable, and fun to be with.
Could not recommend him more.

Devin was awesome! He took great care of us and kept us on quality bass the whole trip. He’s very professional and passionate, and has great knowledge of the water. Capt Devin took care of everything from baiting the hooks, rigging up the rods and helping to get fish into the boat. We had awesome luck on our trip and were lucky to be able to get 30-40 HIGH QUALITY fish (most of them at 3-5lbs) which wouldn’t be possible without Devin’s expertise. It was a fishing trip of a lifetime and we will definitely be back for another trip soon!
