Half day Trip
★★★★★
“ A very relaxed trip, with good fishing spots, easy-going captain, and clean/working fishing equipment. Capt Brett took great care of my 2 kids (16 & 11) pointing out the how to set bait, cast in the right direction, and enjoy fishing safely. Capt Brett handled all the setting of bait, untangling line, tying new hooks and helping us understand the need for conservation of the Everglades’ ecosystem. Despite the massive rain shower, we caught fish under a bridge (Florida style), in addition to a quiet fishing spot away from the highway. We caught and released Peacock bass, Mayans, Oscars, Large Mouth Bass, Bowfins, and Gars. Capt Brett’s boat is in very good condition, with a new motor and very clean surfaces. Just remember, you’re exposed to the sun (no canopy), which was fine at 730am in April. The drive to the put-in location is at mile marker 41 in alligator alley so plan accordingly and start early. You will need to buy your license, and bait; Capt. Brett will meet you at his friend’s bait shop on the way. In my view, this trip is a 2-for-1 because not only do you fish, you see the Everglades in private for 4 hours. All in all, a great experience with Capt. Brett!”

Pleasure of fishing with Capt. Brett
★★★★★
“ I just wanted to send a thank you for a great couple of days of fishing! My dad and I had the pleasure of fishing with Capt. Brett. We tried out the artificial bait bite and caught some fish, wasn't lucky enough to get a trophy fish but did have a great time on the lake. On the next day, we grabbed some wild shiners and hit the lake with high hopes for fish and fingers crossed that the weather would hold for us. Capt. Brett put us in some great spots and I was able to boat an 8 lb 10 oz beauty! We caught a lot of other nice fish that day as well! The weather held off long enough for us to get our 6 hours in and then unleashed that afternoon! I apologize for the long note, but I wanted everyone to know how great the experience was with Capt. Brett! He's a true professional, a great guide, and made the trip outstanding! I will definitely be booking again with Brett in the future! See y'all again real soon!!”

“ Amazing trip!!! Capt Brett Isackson is not only a professional in his field, he is truly a professional with his customers. Catching Peacock bass was a bucket list of mine. My wife and I were fortunate to have Brett take us out on the everglades. He put us onto a load of fish. He also helped my wife tremendously as she never fished before. He taught her so well and with politeness and patience. We had such a great experience that day that we decided to go out two days later with him and he made himself available for us!. What a great guy. It was some of the best fishing ever! Both days!”

★★★★★
“ This trip with Capt. Brett came about because the original guide could not make it. I'm so glad it happen. My 2 sons & I had this trip as our birthday present & it couldn't have been better. Capt. Brett is very knowledgeable, funny & personable. We had a great time catching Peacock bass, black bass, catfish, oscars & mudfish. I HIGHLY recommend Capt. Brett if you want a memorable fishing trip.”

A good experience
★★★★★
“ My cousin and I had planned this fishing trip for about 15 years. While we would have liked to have landed more fish, we understand that we have no control over wind speeds and fish dispositions. We fished 2 days, once with Brett Isackson in the glades and once with Bob Miley in the Falls canals. Both these fellas are top-notch—-friendly, knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Would love to fish with either captains any time.”

“ Awesome time with Captain Mark and Brett Took a short trip to Fort Lauderdale to do some fishing. Spent a great great day on the water with Captain Mark Shepard. Not only did I catch my personal best but between me my wife and Captain Mark we solved all world problems lol. Then Kim and I spend a day In The Everglades with Captain Brett Isackson. The weather was not in our favor that day but we still caught fish. Captain Brett did everything he could to get on on the bite. But bad weather is something even he can’t control. Looking forward to fishing with both captains again.”

Tremendous bass fishing
★★★★★
“ Tremendous bass fishing trip for 2 days with guide Captain Brett Isackson. First day we caught 50+ quality bass, including a 7 and 8 pounder, 5 six pounders and more 4 to 5's than we could keep track of. On second day we landed more than 60 quality bass up to 7 pounds averaging 4 pounds and bigger. Just an unbelievably solid two days of fishing - with bluebird skies and a north wind and high pressure! I can only imagine how good the bite would've been had the conditions been more favorable. Brett was a tremendous guide and host who provides the kind of hospitality one would expect.I've been out with many guides over the year and he's clearly one of the top tier bass guides on the water.This was the best two days I've had on the water in 45 years of bass fishing. I will definitely be back for more.”

“ My buddy Rick and I had 2 full days (Feb 4 and 5, 2017) on Lake Okeechobee with guid Brett Isackson, it was a blast. The first day he had us over 50 fish, with multiple 4,5,6,7 and an 8 pounder. The wind picked up the next day so we couldn't return to the same sport as the previous day, so Brett found us a different spot based on the wind conditions and direction. We got over 60 bass the second day, we really didn't think we could beat day 1, but did. Brett was a real pro. I got his name as a guide at Bass Online from a friend and had done one previous trip with he and another guide, and our boat got 49 on the Big O that day as well. I'd highly recommend Brett for any trip, this guy can put you on quality fish as well as quantity. Thanks again for a great 2 days Brett!!!”

“ Brett was a superb guide. Highly recommended. My rookie daughter turned out to be an ace fisherman!! The last time I was into so many big and energetic Peacock Bass was in the '70s in Guyana where we called them Lukanani. Still the best game fish I have ever encountered...Good to see them thriving in Miami. Catch and release make sure they stay that way!! Thanks to Brett and BassOnline for a superb day.”

Fantastic fishing experience!!!
★★★★★
“ Fantastic fishing experience!!! Fished for 5 days with Bass Online. I had 3 different guides, Brett, Bob, and Tony. I am 68 years young and did I have a BLAST!! I expressed prior to my fishing that I wanted to use live bait and I knew it was my responsibility to purchase. There was NEVER a problem, we stopped at the bait shop each morning, and I bought the shinners. All one has to do is read what is expected of you, it is on their website. Anyway, a dream come true. I was picked up each morning on time at my hotel and returned that evening, that was a BIG plus!! And when the guide says he will be there at 6 am, he was there at 6 am. Anyway caught LOTS of fish, only the guide and myself on the boat so we just had FUN, this is the way I wanted it also. I have fished a lot all over and I can truly say, they KNOW what they are talking about, for heaven's sake listen to them-they do this for a living. Thank you, Lori, for answering all my questions, met your husband at bait shop-nice guy. Please relay to my guides that I truly had a FANTASTIC time. God bless all- Bobby Sboray, Roanoke, Va.”

The fishing was good the first day but we weren't lucky enough to catch any trophy fish! On day 2 the weather had taken a turn and it was getting nasty pretty fast. We were lucky enough to boat a really nice 8lb 10oz bass and many more smaller fish. Missed a few fish that could have been real nice as well! Capt Brett couldn't have been any nicer or more accommodating if he tried! He had us change our meeting place to better find the fish we were hoping to find. He did a great job finding the best spots for some great fishing! We got lucky and the weather held off for our 6 hour trip then completely let loose that afternoon. Hopefully Capt Brett and a client didn't have an afternoon trip planned for later that day, if they did then I'm sure they got washed off the lake! I highly recommend booking a guided trip with them and asking for Brett! We will definitely be booking with him again! Great guide, very professional, and a lot of fun to fish with!”

Thanks for a great day
★★★★★
“ My sons and I went fishing with Capt Brett yesterday. My expectations were very high as it was something I had wanted to do since I was a child. The day far exceeded anything I could have imagined. The boys and I were thrilled with Captain Brett and every aspect of the trip. We will be back and we want Captain Brett to be our guide when we return. Thanks for a great day. Allen McRae”

8lbs 12oz, his biggest ever
★★★★★
“ Dad and I had a great outing with Brett Isackson today 12/1. The weather was very comfortable, Brett's equipment was excellent, and most importantly: Brett knew where to take us to catch great bass. He helped us be comfortable with all of the process of rigging, baiting, catching, and landing our fish. Dad and I lost count, but we think we were both over 12 fish, with me at 14. Plus we each had a few others on the hook that shook loose close to the boat. Even our littlest fish were fun to catch. Dad had the very best catch of the day: a beautiful heavy big largemouth. 8 lbs. 12 oz. !! That's the biggest bass I've been close to (other than seeing in an aquarium.) Brett took measurements and photos of the proper poses/steps of holding and releasing. Cheers! and Thanks,”

Is there any chance you could please pass this link onto him or give me his email address so I can pass it to him myself? Thanks very much for the good experience!”

3-day fishing trip
★★★★★
“ I just finished a 3-day fishing trip with my buddy with Bass Fishing Florida. We were in search of largemouth and peacock bass. Our guide Captain Tony took us out for 3 wonderful days of fishing. First off Captain Tony is a wonderful guide and will definitely be my guide for all future trips. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and really put us on the fish. He is willing to do whatever to make sure you have a great day fishing. Our first day was for largemouth and we boated close to 40 fish. Great day at Holiday Park. On our second day, we went in search of Peacock bass and netted close to 30 of them. Including a monster Peacock! The fight on those fish is not to be missed. On our third and sadly last day we netted close to 60 fish. We just didn’t want to leave. Like I said Tony will put you on the fish! We had a great time and will be back next time for a 5-day fishing trip. Our whole experience was great from the hotel to the arraignments to our fantastic guide. The best fishing trip I have ever been on…. This will definitely be a yearly trip for me twice a year if the wife lets me… Thanks again for making sure we had a great time… and happy fishing.”

Great time out on the glades
★★★★★
“ Hi Brett. Just wanted to thank you again for a great time out on the glades. Just wish we had more time to fish in tight on the cover. Maybe next time I'm out there, now that I saw what works we can hall in that hawg. Again if you decide to wander up north of the border give me a call and we would love to take you out for some Muskie fishing. good luck fishing”

What a great way start to November,
★★★★★
“ Hi Capt. Brett Had a couple of busy days, sorry I didn't get this in sooner. We would like to thank Capt. Brett for the great day of Peacock Bass fishing we had. We have been fishing with guides before but rarely has any of them given us so many tips, so much information to enhance our experience or worked so hard to help us hook that fish. He was just as excited as us when we landed our Peacocks! He is very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist on many topics not limited to fishing. His boat is extremely clean and in impeccable shape. I sincerely recommend Capt. Brett to anyone who is looking for a memorable day with a great guide. We will certainly be repeat customers!

Great Expedition
★★★★★
“ My dad and I had a great expedition on Monday. Thanks for your guidance, expertise, and good humor. We enjoyed Lake Ida and the related neighborhood waterways. We had a beautiful day it turn out to be. When I visit my folks again next year I will find time to fish with you again! I've attached photos to add to your collection. You can see by our grins we sure liked catching our fish.”

Wonderful website.
★★★★★
“ I just wanted to thank you for the information you post on your website and the great trip. Ever since I got out of the Marine corp I have been bass fishing a lot. I didn't know much about the how's and where's of bass fishing since I grew up in a saltwater fishing household. But thanks to you I have had some excellent fishing trips to the Everglades and one trip to Airport lakes. You guys really seem to know your stuff. Even though I fish from my little 14ft. aluminum boat, I am still getting it done. So once again thank you for your wonderful website. Keep up the good work. SGT. Dave Walker USMC”

It was AWESOME !!!
★★★★★
“ Brett, My dad and I are still smiling from our trip, we had a great time. Thanks for the internet post it was a real kick to see our pictures on the net. I attached a small clip that I put together of my dad catching a big Okeechobee bass. We are both hooked on baitcasting reels now that you have shown us the light. I learned a great deal on the trip and loved every minute of it. Thanks for putting us on fish...it was AWESOME !!!”

Tremendous bass fishing
★★★★★
“ Tremendous bass fishing trip for 2 days with guide Captain Brett Isackson. First day we caught 50+ quality bass, including a 7 and 8 pounder, 5 six pounders and more 4 to 5's than we could keep track of. On second day we landed more than 60 quality bass up to 7 pounds averaging 4 pounds and bigger. Just an unbelievably solid two days of fishing - with bluebird skies and a north wind and high pressure! I can only imagine how good the bite would've been had the conditions been more favorable. Brett was a tremendous guide and host who provides the kind of hospitality one would expect. I've been out with many guides over the year and he's clearly one of the top tier bass guides on the water. This was the best two days I've had on the water in 45 years of bass fishing. I will definitely be back for more.”
