Perfect hit, Thanks Capt. Reno...

My family had such a great experience fishing in Winter Haven that after our first 4 hr trip, we immediately booked another longer trip. Captain Reno was fantastic during both outings and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everything was organized perfectly, and we caught plenty of largemouth bass during our time on the lakes. We were treated so kindly throughout the whole experience, and it turned into one of the highlights of our vacation..

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review—it’s great to hear your family had such an amazing time that you came back for a second trip. Captain Reno does a wonderful job making everyone feel welcome while keeping things organized and fun. Sounds like you had plenty of action with largemouth bass as well. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to have you all back again soon!

Awesome trip..Rebook soon.

Went out on the lakes with Bill on a summer trip. We headed out under clear skies to a great fishing area, and everyone started with high expectations. It did not take long before we were catching largemouth bass consistently. One angler focused on bigger fish and was rewarded with an impressive catch. Another guest landed a couple of really nice bass as well. It was a fantastic trip and a great way to finish my vacation. This is why I always book here, experience really makes a difference. Not every trip is like this, but that is fishing. Thanks again Bill, see you soon.

Operator response

We are lucky to chose this trip !

I do not usually write reviews but this was the best 4 hours of fishing I have had. Reno was fantastic during the trip. Their advice, equipment, and fishing spots were all top quality. It was a great experience, especially seeing them help kids get involved and catch fish. We caught a lots of largemouth bass and had an amazing time. Very glad we chose this trip, worth every penny.

Awesome trip , Really enjoyable !

A friend and I planned a weekend getaway with two goals, fishing and relaxing locally. We booked in advance and headed out on a beautiful summer morning. We were greeted by Bill, and soon after we set off on our trip. Within 20 minutes we had our catching largemouth bass of different sizes. Bill was excellent, guiding both beginners and more experienced anglers, and he always knew the right spots. The action continued throughout the trip,. Looking forward to the next outing.

Happy time with Wife

My wife and I went for a fishing trip with Captain Reno. When you are in the neighborhood of Florida and planning on doing a largemouth bass fishing trip. Choose Bass Online Fishing Guides! We had 6 magnificent hours at the water. Reno was very friendly and humorous and made my wife enthusiastic for fishing. He prepared our catch, mine 15 and my wife's 8, the minute we came home at the campsite. Their taste was wonderful. Never ate such fresh fish. What more do you need? Good weather, good company, and a lot of laughter. Thank you very much, Reno! This was one of the highlights of our holiday!

Operator response

That’s the full Florida experience right there—great fishing, great laughs, and fresh fish straight to the plate! 😄 Captain Reno will love hearing he turned your wife into a fishing fan too—that’s a big win. Sounds like one of those trips you’ll be talking about for a long time. Thanks for the awesome recommendation 🎣

A trip with a knowledgeable captain...

Firstly, Reno is a true gent and a very knowledgeable captain. Not only do you get plenty of tuition on his 6-hour fishing trip in the fantastic Winter Haven Chain Fishing, but you also get years of local knowledge and the history of the fishing over. I wouldn't think twice about doing this trip again; everyone on the boat caught largemouth bass, and Reno is more than happy to gut and fillet your catch for you.

Operator response

That’s the kind of trip that sticks with you—great fishing *and* a captain who brings the whole place to life! 😄 Captain Reno will appreciate the kind words. When everyone’s catching bass and leaving with fillets ready to go, that’s a job well done. We’ll be ready when you come back for round two 🎣

legend ....

Bill is a fishing legend in Florida. He is smart, funny, and caring that all people on his boat have a great time and catch a lot of largemouth bass fish. He is a friendly guy. The cost was great and very good value for money. We came home with lots of fish, and we just cooked up the largemouth bass on the grill, and it was delicious.

Operator response

“Fishing legend” is a title you don’t just hand out lightly! 😄 Captain Bill will love that one. Sounds like he delivered the full package—fun, fish, and a grill-ready finish. Hard to beat fresh bass straight off the boat. Thanks for the awesome review 🎣

Fishing rip!

My first fishing boat trip, and I actually caught more than 20 largemouth bass! Bill is a great guy! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip out on the boat. To top it off, we were allowed to take some of the fish home we caught, which were lovely. Next time with friends and a long trip, sure.

Operator response

That’s one way to start—first trip and straight into 20+ bass! 😄 Captain Bill clearly set the bar pretty high. And taking some home for dinner just seals the deal. Sounds like next time you’re bringing the crew and going bigger—we’ll be ready 🎣

Travelled from Missouri...

Travelled from Missouri all the way to Orlando on fiancé’s birthday. We drove an hour to get to the charter and arrived to the location 2 hours early only to find out that no one was coming. Called they said they never got the booking even though we had the confirmation number and emails. It sucked because we were super excited for the trip.

Operator response

That’s incredibly frustrating—especially after traveling, planning ahead, and arriving early for something you were both excited about. I’m really sorry this happened, especially on a birthday trip. This definitely isn’t the experience we aim to provide. With a confirmation number and emails in place, we should have had everything lined up and ready for you, UNFORTNANTLY we never received emails or confirmation from Viator. Again, we’re truly sorry this happened, and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Mike is an outstanding fishing guide. His patience, deep knowledge, and entertaining commentary made every moment enjoyable, even during the slower times. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you had a great time out on the water. Slower moments are just part of the story—but I’m glad we made every bit of it enjoyable. Appreciate the kind words and the recommendation!
