We had a great day with Captain Tim Loftis. The weather was great and he put us on fish. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and the boat was well equipped. Would highly recommend Bass Online Tours and Capt. Tim Loftis.

Having been a client with BassOnline for over 30 years this past trip was anything but a disappointment . Capt Justin Carriker put us on fish from the first cast. Over 15 for the day.

This was my second time with Captain Mark and first time on Lake Erie. Had a great time and slayed them! Caught several 5 pound Smallies, a couple of fresh water Drum and a huge Walleye! Looking forward to the next time on Lake Okachobee down in Florida!

Really great trip! We each caught over a dozen bass from 3-6lbs. My arms were tired at the end from pulling in so many big bass!

Jose was fantastic. The Iguana hunt was great. He set us up with a taxidermist and we mounted a 4'3" Iguana. Good time and great memories with my son!

Scheduled well in advance, got a message they changed the location. Day of charter no one shows up at 40 min finally get ahold of someone. Some kind of error on there end so they find a backup Captain. Had to go buy bait and a bucket to put it in so we would have bait. New Captain gets to the dock 2plus hrs after we were suppose to leave. Half the bait $110 baits dead. 6 hr charter turned into a 4hr charter in a area we didnt want to fish with a Capt that doesnt normally fish it. Got 0 fish and I understand thats fishing. But, maybe if you cant provide the service because of a error then be honest, cancel the trip and provide a refund.The capt stepped up and tried to make it happen. At the end of the day I got 100 off the trip.

An Unforgettable Fishing Trip on Lake Tohopekaliga with Captain Mike!We had an amazing time out on Lake Tohopekaliga with Captain Mike! He was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience one we will never forget.My wife and son had a wonderful time, but what made this trip truly special was the quality father-and-son time I got to share with my son before he leaves for Germany for a three-year deployment. Being out on the lake together, enjoying the day, sharing laughs, and creating memories is something we will both cherish for years to come.These are the moments that mean the most in life, and Captain Mike helped make this experience even more special. I cannot thank him enough for an incredible day on the water.If you’re looking for a great fishing experience on Lake Tohopekaliga, I highly recommend Captain Mike. You won’t just have a great day fishing; you’ll have the opportunity to create memories that last a lifetime!Thank you, Captain Mike, for an unforgettable day! 🎣❤️

I fished Lake Erie with Captain Mark Rose.It was a tough bite most of the morning although we marked a lot of bass on the sonar. We finally hit them in the early afternoon using drop shot rigs in conditions so windy it was virtually impossible to stand on the deck. Best fish was 5lbs 2oz

We had a really great time today. We knew this wasn’t the best time of year to fish but he was able to get us on the right spot to fish and we caught more than expected. He took care of everything. We would definitely use him again.

Captain Mark Shepard is amazing! All around a great guy and a great guide. Captain Shepard has a vast knowledge of Bass Fishing and he is willing to teach you things you don't even know. Once we reached our fishing area we were catching Bass non stop between the 2 of us. We had great numbers for our fishing tour that day. I strongly recommend Captain Shepard and I know for a fact we will be back and will be booking Captain Shepard again. Thanks for a great day, knowledge and the memories we gained on our trip!

Fishing charter reviews represent our customers and the passion we have at bassonline.com. It all stems from being in love with the sport of bass fishing and from providing high-quality fishing charter reviews more straightforwardly than ever before. Finding the very best fishing charter is hard to do, we know. One of the best ways to separate the good from the bad is by searching through fishing charter reviews.

While most do not have reviews, we bring to you real-life, real-time charter fishing reviews from our customers on real-life fishing trips.

Our review system includes current interactive reviews along with older customer feedback collected over many years. When comparing guides, prioritize recent reviews that identify the guide, location, and type of trip.

Yes, that’s right, you can read reviews or post a review on each fishing guide. This is undoubtedly going to take the guessing out of hiring your next fishing guide. Read the most current fishing charter reviews and view accurate customer ratings from the fishing charter experience.

How to Evaluate Fishing Charter Reviews

  • Recency: give more weight to recent trips.
  • Specificity: look for comments about the actual guide, location, boat, communication, and trip length.
  • Patterns: one unusual review matters less than repeated themes across multiple customers.
  • Expectations: remember that weather and fish activity can vary; evaluate how the guide handled the day, not only the number of fish caught.

Confirmation of Outstanding Service

Customer feedback, guide profiles, trip history, boat information, and direct communication can all help anglers compare fishing guides. Now, through customer reviews, boat inspections, captain interviews, and first-hand fishing experiences. We bring it to you, and you be the judge. At Bass Online, we have always been passionate about the sport, our captains’ love for what they do, and, of course, you, the customer, who makes it all possible.

Ultimately, we want to make booking your next fishing charter a better experience than ever before by making it easier and eliminating the guesswork. We know that “booking a charter” is a big commitment. That’s exactly why we list, rate, and review our charter fishing trips.

Use the reviews on this page together with each guide, lake, and place page to compare recent customer experiences before booking.

“If you would like to share a review, good or bad. Please visit the actual posted fishing report, fishing guide, or lake and leave a specific review. If not, you can post on the City location Page of the lake you fished. At the bottom of each page or post, find a box labeled “CLICK HERE TO WRITE A REVIEW.”
