We will definitely be going back next year!!! 




Capt. Mike Groshon is the MAN!!! My son and I fished with Capt. Mike 2 days in a row and had an amazing time. We hammered the Peacocks and caught several other species as well. Capt.Mike is the real deal. We will be fishing with him several times in the upcoming year. If you want to catch Fish look no further...Capt. Mike is your man hands down.

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 pleasent 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 large mouth 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 reccommand this Captain as you can see by my review. Enjoy your trip ! Marc D

Great fishing with Captain Mike Groshon Captain Mike is one of the best guides we've had: Knowledgeable about Lake Ida fishing spots, professional, friendly, willing to do what it took to make the day a good fishing day. And a productive fishing day it was! We caught a variety of fish -- largemouth and hard-fighting peacock bass, plus a couple of other species. His knowledge of birds and trees and of the lake only added to our enjoyment of the day.

Great experience! A cold front was in place and the conditions were tough, however, Captain Mike put my wife and I on a few quality Peacock Bass. Captain Mike's passion for fishing and knowledge of the local water made the trip memorable. Thank you Captain Mike for a great day!

Captain Mike Groshon is THE BEST This was a last minute trip and I booked without doing much research. Turns out this was not the best time of year to fish this area. Lots of recent rain and more coming... Captain Mike explained our options and we went fishing. Caught a total of 5 different species of fish in the 4 hrs we were on the water. Mostly Peacock bass and largemouth bass. It was a great day. Plan to head back south during the high season and fish with Mike again! Great guy, great guide, great all around! 


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 


@jimmy.pringles Wow. Peacock bass fishing Fort Lauderdale with Captain Mike was amazing! Great day of fishing and laughs thanks to ioutdoor adventures, peacock bass Florida!! Caught a variety of species all morning long and the action just got better and better. Good fishing with good people, can’t be beat......honestly a must do if your ever in Florida! 


Fishing trip My 7 year old son, my best friend, and I booked a fishing trip with Mike Groshon to do some peacock, and large mouth bass fishing. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and safe. Did his very best to make our trip , what we expected. Did his best to make sure my son got the trip of a life time! I definitely recommend this company, and definitely Mike !!! Thanks again Mike ! 


Markham Park Peacock Bass My son and I met Captain Mike Groshon with Bassonline at Markham Park and had a great morning fishing. Capt Mike was really good about guiding, teaching and encouraging my 13 year old. He also put is on a mess of Peacock and Largemouth Bass and even landed a Snake Head. Great time and memories created. Will be fishing with Mike next time we are in the area! 


Markham and Everglades trips We took 3 trips with Captain Mike Groshon and Captain Wayne Fellows. All three trips were great with excellent catches. Both captains are outstanding and went out of their way to assure we had a good time. This is the second year I've used Captain Mike and will always request him and Captain Wayne on future trips. They can't be beat. 


Peacock Bass Fishing Went with Capt. Mike Groshon. Mike is a true professional. I highly recommend Mike. If I am in the Ft. Lauderdale area again, I will definitely fish with Mike. Caught 20 Peacocks. If you donât fish with Capt. Mike, youâre making a mistake. 
Incroyable Nous avons pris rendez-vous avec le Capt Mike Groshon, ma femme et moi, pour une sortie dans les Everglades pour 6h de pêche au bass. Le Capt Mike Groshon est très gentil et très professionnel, toujours à nos soins. Et pour ne rien vous cacher nous avons pris entre 180 et 190 Bass à deux, en une après-midi, ça a été un festival !!! Nous avons réservé une autre sortie quelques jours après tant notre retour en France, juste MAGIQUE !!! 


Memorable trip Capt Mike Groshan knows his stuff and put me on a lot is fish. Very knowledge and professional. He's there to put you on fish and help you every step of the way. Highly recommended if anyone is looking for a good guide. Fun from start to finish. 
Trip to be remembered I had Captain Mike Groshon for my Peacock Bass charter. Mike was professional and put me on the fish all day. He was exceptional from start to finish. Mike was very hands on in terms of helping and making sure you get your targeted specie and having fun. He takes pictures for you to make sure you can take home the good memories. He handles bait and fish and give you pointers to hook more fish. Fishing Peacock Bass was quite an experience and this was my first time experience.... Won't be my last. Thank you Captain Mike! 


Bass in the Everglades Captain Mike Groshon is the man. We had a trip booked for Lake Okeechobee, but some poor fishing conditions came up in the weeks before our trip. Mike was honest and upfront, and told us that we would be better off doing an Everglades trip. So glad we listened, because between the three of us, we caught over 250 largemouth in 8 hours (and thatâs an honest count from everyone on the boat). Fishing was incredible, and on top of that, Mike was a pleasure to fish with. It was clear that he was committed to putting us on fish and having a fun day on the water. I canât recommened this trip enough. 


Peacock Bass with Mike Groshon Had the oppurtunity to fish with Captain Mike February 22nd. I love to fish and, being from the Northwest, I thought I would give Peacock Bass a try. Capt. Mike was super knowledgeable about the fishery and he knew how to put me in the fish. The boat and gear were top shelf. This was one of the best guided trips I have ever been on. Mike you made my vacation a 10. Thanks! 


Beb Bass Fishing Stick Marsh Capt Mike G took my teenage sons out for a 6 hour trip. rough day with steady wind and occasional rain, but they still managed 30 Bass, one personal best and stories that lasted the rest of the vacation. couldn't have been a better experience. John Finnegan - NY 


Florida adventure better than any hurricane Lucky to meet Capt Mike, and he came through with a wonderful haulin Bass Experience! Went with my Sister in law and the only regret was she kicked my ass. Fishing in a secret spot we caught 20 wide mouth bass , catfish, hard and also a mud fish with Capt Mike. Thank You 


Inland Fishing/ Ft Lauderdale....very pleased!!! My 3 grandchildren( 16, 14, 9 yrs old) and I spent a very pleasant afternoon with Capt Mike G.They all caught fish ,but more important, they listened and learned and got better by the hour. ..as Capt Mike worked with them (and me). He was patient, professional and pleasant the entire time. which was most appreciated by them and me.He had a fast boat and excellent equipment. We were all ready to sign up for another afternoon had our schedule allowed. 


Peacock Fishing with BassOnline This is a great outfit and guide Mike Groshon is top notch. He worked hard to put us on fish for two days and we wound up catching 35-40 Peacocks on artificial and live bait, as well as a Snook and other species. I would highly recommend this outfit and Capt Mike Groshon. 


Peacocks! My wife and I both grew up fishing and go every chance we get now. Thanks to captain Mike Groshon we had the best day fishing we have ever had! We caught well over 50 fish mostly Peacocks. We're already planning our trip with him again next year. Absolutely amazing fishing trip!!!! 


A Great Experience I have fished in New England a lot but wanted to see what was so special about Okeechobee. My fiance got us a gift certificate for a guided trip with bass online. They were very easy to book with and when our trip was cancelled (death in the family) they worked with us to reschedule when we made up our trip a few weeks later. Our rescheduled trip turned out to be bad storms so again they flexible and accommodated us the next morning. Once we arrived Capt. Mike Groshon gave us great advice as to what would give us our best odds of catching fish. He put us on a great spot and my fiance and I were pulling them in right away. He is a very nice guy and I enjoyed talking with him over out on the water. Lake O is beautiful and very different than anything Ive fished up north. I really enjoyed my trip and will do it again, with Capt Mike if at all possible! 


Lake okeechobee Went out for 2 half day trips with captain mike groshon out of belle glade. He was an outstanding guide who went above and beyond to help my 7 year old with a broken arm catch fish. We had a great time and caught some nice bass. I would definitely recommended. Captain mike. 


Amazing experience.. I have been fishing awhile,but Capt Mike gave me an experience which was second to none.an experience I will never forget..can't wait to go with him again.if your a novice or experienced he will give you the best fishing you will ever have..loved it.. 
Capt. Mike Groshon, Stick Marsh Bass Adventure I took my son fishing with Capt. Mike for his Birthday. What a great trip, caught about 20 Largemouth Bass missed a few but several in five pound plus category. The weather was perfect and Mike put us on the fish at all times. He was great company and a real Gentleman. I would recommend him anytime for a great day of Big Bass fishing. 

Ida lake peacock 4-2-18 Guide was excellent, Mike did a great job and worked hard for us. Fishing was tough. If I had k own from the reports I had seen on line with bassonline that there was a winter kill and numbers were down I would have tried a lake further south with bassonline. I wish that would have been better explained on the website. 3 of us caught 4 peacocks, size was small, say 12in in a 4 hour trip. He did explain they were on the beds and far enough along that the bite wasn't great and I get that. Like I said, he worked hard for us and did what he could considering condutions. 

Unforgettable trip We had the pleasure of spending two days on the lake with Captain Mike Groshon and Captain Galen Fugh. Both of our guides were a blast to fish with! Both were very knowledgeable and professional. They put us on the fish both days and we caught a bunch! Look forward to next year with both of these guys 


Stick Marsh Bass Fishing We used Mark Hilles and Mike Groshon to guide clients on a business outing and both of them did an excellent job. The weather was not great as we hit a cold front (68 degrees and a stiff northwest wind), but they know the lake really well and found a place out of the wind where the fish were active. We used live shiners and had to have caught somewhere over 100 bass between the two boats with the biggest a little over 6 pounds. Both Mark and Mike are fun to be around and have excellent equipment. 


fishing with Captain Mike Groshon 3 excelent trips wit capt Mike! Capt Mike is a very well versed fisherman! he really knows his fishing! it was a great pleasure to fish with capt.mik and a ton of laughs as well as fish! would higly recomend capt mike and bass online for your next S.Florida fishing experience! Larry Aceti Niagara Falls NY 


On the hunt for a trophy bass My son, Michael, and I spent three days with Mike Groshon hunting for trophy bass. We were treated extremely well. Mike knows his business. As always, he instilled confidence in us as we pursued our goal. We would recommend him to anyone interested in bass fishing. 


Great day in the water Fished with Mike out of Torry Island near Belle Glade on lake Ockeechobee. Had my 6 year old daughter with me and had a great time ... 4 hour afternoon trip landed 22 large mouth.... mike a great guide and look forward to fishing with him again !! 
Lake Okeechobee with captain Mike Groshon My two boys and I had a great time fishing with Captain Mike on a 6 hr fishing trip on Lake Okeechobee it was the highlight of our vacation from Indiana. We caught 37 bass using shiners with my son even hauling in an 8 lb bass. I would highly recommend Capitan Mike he was very personable and made us feel comfortable. We will be back next year. 




BASS ONLINE - Captain Mike My son (age 13) and I spent six hours on the water with Captain Mike of Bass Online. We have fished all up and down the East Coast and have been on over 30 charters. I must say Captain Mike was in the top three Captains we ever had the pleasure of fishing with. He is passionate about what he does and was awesome with my son. I can't recommend him enough. And oh by the way he put us on great fish. Try Captain Mike you will not be disappointed! 


Amazing Day On The Water The bite was on! I managed to catch a grand slam (peacock, largemouth, clown knife fish and Mayan cichlids) before the storm moved in. Captain Mike Groshon is a knowledgeable and experienced guide. I will be booking another trip for December. 
Great Guides, Quality Service! Went today with Guides Larry, Brian & Mike for a cool video shoot about bass fishing, beautiful day, these guys knew exactly where to go, even on a cool day. They know their business and Bass Online is a professional, first class service...plus they're friendly and make every trip a great experience! 




World class experience with Bass Online and Capt. Mike Gorshon! We recently did a 4 hour trip with Captain Mike Gorshon on Lake Ida, Florida. The weather was crappy, but the experience was amazing. Capt. Mike knew where all the fish beds were and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We had a ton of fun, caught a couple of peacock bass and learned about fishing in south Florida. We definitely recommend Bass Online and Capt. Mike G. He knew his stuff and took care of us from the dock to the trailer. 


Above expectations Capt. Mike was a wealthough of knowledge on the water, had a great sence of humor, and was full of very interesting facts about lake okeechobee. We went out with tough conditions to catch actI've fish as well as it being late into the summer season and he still got us on reactive fish. I was very impressed that we caught as many beautiful lake okeechobee largies as we did. I'm a pretty experienced angler and was totally expecting to have a much slower day. Capt Mike is an amazing guide and I would recommend him to anyone no matter how experienced they may be. 




Great bucket list fishing trip For my Dad's 60th birthday, I planned a 2-day fishing trip with BassOnline. We spent day one fishing Lake Okeechobee with Captain Dave Lauer. Dave knew this lake like the back of his hand. It was a tough day with sunny skies and 30+ mph winds but he found some good spots. We caught roughly 50 fish that day including a couple of 5+ lb. largemouth bass. On day 2, we fished Lake Ida for peacock bass with Captain Mike Groshon. This was very different from Lake Okeechobee in that we were fishing canals. Again, tough weather with 30+ mph winds. But Mike put us on about 40 fish that day including one 7+ lb. largemouth and one 6+ lb. peacock bass. The best part is that my Dad caught both of them. Great trip! 




Awesome experience!!! We had an incredible time with Mike! He called us the day before and asked us to change locations because the fish weren't biting at his normal place. Well he definitely chose a good place to go!!! Within 20 minutes I had caught a 4+ pound peacock bass!!! It was a beauty!!! We went on to catch a total of 10 fish and 3 different species!! We will definitely be going back next year!!!
